I expect he will never spend a day behind bars.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

I suspect the same but idk how you can bring someone up on these kinds of charges and just give them probation if convicted. I wish this guy would have just behaved like a normal person so we wouldn't have to deal with this bullshit.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Well, he will hopefully never have the opportunity to repeat his crime. So any punishment will be about dissuading others from following his example.

This time it's different. If this goes to trial he will be convinced with near certainty. The shit he's accused of is incredibly serious, and it sounds like they have him dead to rights.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

This time it sounds different. The republican strategy of discrediting the investigation/investigators doesn't really seem to be taking hold. Unlike the Jan 6th investigations, the facts of this case is simple and those causally aware of the case can understand it.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

If I'm betting, I'm still betting he sees no real punishment that actually hurts him in any way...buuuuuuut...one big thing here as opposed to his impeachments is that it comes down to a jury and is only about whether he did the things or not. With impeachment, it's much more a political vote than a true judgement of actions.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Yeah, he's far too old to be serving drinks lol

[-] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago

I'll be excited about it when there's some actual consequences for him out of it. Until then I'm just utterly convinced he'll face no actual penalty for his actions.

It would be nice to see this piece of shit actually face some consequences for once.

[-] [email protected] 20 points 1 year ago

Trump wrote he is "INNOCENT" and it was a "DARK DAY" for the U.S.

I appreciate that they kept the capitalization intact.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

The capitalization is always the best part about his rants lol

[-] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago

Hope this brings us one step closer to never having to hear about him again.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Meh, CNN will have an hourly update on what trump is doing in prison. They just can't help themselves

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I think that hourly updates would be marginally better than the reporting of his rage posting.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Well, to be honest I would absolutely watch him sulk with no makeup and no hair.

[-] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago

Fuel for the fire? Or a bunch of smoke? I'll believe this is the clincher when he's behind bars.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

Everything for the last ~10 years has been "the final nail in the coffin" for Trump, I'll believe it when I see it too.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

For any normal person being indicted by a federal grand jury is extremely serious. Federal prosecutors have a 99.6% conviction rate.

[-] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago
  • Former President Donald Trump indicted for a second time on federal charges related to handling classified information.
  • Charges include retaining national defense information, obstructing justice, withholding and concealing documents, and making false statements.
  • Trump denies wrongdoing and calls the indictment a "hoax" and a "dark day" for the US.
  • The indictment is unprecedented, as a former president facing criminal charges while being a leading candidate for the Republican Party's 2024 presidential nomination.
  • The investigation is led by special counsel Jack Smith, who is also overseeing the probe into Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election results.
[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

I wonder when people stop believing him that literally anything and everything is a hoax...

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

It's also unprecedented to be charged at a federal level instead of just state

[-] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

get his ass!! This makes me so happy.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

The pessimist in me says that this doesn’t mean anything…

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Trumps lawyers after that phone call released lol.
