Ta, Marcie. This same activity would have gotten any one of us imprisoned, probably in a federal pen. Personally, I have no hope that TFG will ever see the inside of a prison cell, but it is satisfying knowing how much he fears that.

Sadly, he will still bilk millions out of his brainless followers for his legal expenses

The more they fall for his grift, the less they have to donate to down-ballot races.

That puts the blame on them. instead of him. Some may feel that if you are dumb enough to fall for a scheme, you get what you deserve. I don't necessarily feel that way, I put all of the blame on the schemer. When an honest but decent person falls for a scam, I'm out to get the scammer, and send him to the slammer. By all that's right, DJT should be stripped of everything he owns, and should be spending the rest of his miserable life in prison Same goes for his, sons, daughter and son-in law

"Twitter Tippety Tappities" would be a great name for an all Geriatric MAGAt Softshoe Dance Troop that recreates big dance shows like Stomp! and Lord of The Dance to a Village People soundtrack!

Snuggle it right up to Election Day; Keep it Fresh; Lurid; More shots of Sir snoozing in the "dark, cold, rain drenched courtroom"; More video of Sir screaming "Go Team!" and "Hang Pence!" at his TeeVee.

I am fully on board with having this shit hit a sustained peak during the week before Election Day.

It is just bonkers that we are even discussing what part of plotting a coup involved PAB's "official responsibilities as President." They are getting pretty damn close to the Führerprinzip.

Here's one more Evil Plan: Biden makes an emergency executive declaration that Drumpf can't take office until all the cases involving election interference and fake electors plus the charges of mishandling documents are resolved. And if any of the states where fake electors were submitted on Drumpf's behalf allegedly votes for him this time, any alleged Republican electors will have to be detained by the military and removed from US jurisdiction for questioning until, oh, maybe 2032.

I really don't care at this point...Our justice system will be of no use to us in keeping him out of office...That's ALL on us now....Fortunately, the odds look good what with the new momentum . But I can never forgive how our justice system failed us overall when and where it REALLY mattered...Which was THIS case and the one in Florida

"The trial will probably start in 2025 now, to be clear."

So, basically this decision was about Ailto and Thomas holding out for a new luxury vacation when the new appeals from Trump's Roy Cohn of the moment drop at SCOTUS next year.

Moreso than going to jail I want to see him impoverished. When does he have to pay up on all the already finished cases?

'Zackly! I wanna see Pab and Melons physically evicted from the trash palace live on tv. They have to catch an Uber to Don Jr's place because there's no staff to drive them and their vehicles and the PJ have been repoed. It could be like Schitt's Creek only trashier.

It is absolutely mind-boggling that telling your Vice President or Chief of Staff to commit a crime is protected because talking to them is an official act. I just can't wrap my head around this.

I do have some concern over what the reaction from MAGA assholes will be when Trump loses. Will it be January 6th or worse, or will they just slink off whimpering?

For some it will be denial. "I was only in it for the LOLs".

Others will have armed marches and confrontations. I fear those people.

The incarceration of several of the big January 6 conspirators has already tamped down the domestic terrorism. Nobody, really, showed up at any of the courthouses Trump has entered this year. Public meetings of state legislatures and local school boards have been quieter than 2020, although not as quiet in peaceful years past.

This time around, if there is right-wing civil violence, its source may not be Trump's electoral defeat per se. As we've seen in the United Kingdom, the spark could be asymmetric and made up of foreign and very well crafted, limbic-system tickling propaganda.

As in the UK recently, a foreign state actor and psychologically crafty lies can indeed use general public knowledge about a real and horrific crime to gin up spasms of violence and direct that violence at the propagandist's selected target.

I hazard to think that at least on the state level leaders are savvy to post-election thuggery and can head it off with targeted law enforcement presence at key locations. I'd need to learn more to be convinced that governors and federal officials are ready with the clear debunking communications tactics needed to head off a civil disturbance ignited by a real event and fanned by coordinated social media lies.

a few bad things will happen; the perps will be caught and dealt with swiftly, and the thugs will simmer down and slink.

We cannot count on the courts to do the right thing and send TFG to the political hereafter. We have to do that with votes. Votes in astonishingly high numbers. So that courts get the message we are not playing.

Freedom is on the ballot.

This has been known for some time. Denisovans, and a third unnamed DNA lineage, all got melded into the modern human DNA mess we are today.

Interesting that the Y chromosome completely lacks it, though.

Also no mitochondrial DNA, which really does make for some questions about just what was going on.

Same. I'm ready to jump off the drunken Labor Day weekend high and into some meaty crybaby sentencing for criminal activities. We all trained to have the attention span of a small fruitfly, might as well use that knowledge for good.
