Honestly I don't want to give him more incentive to go full dictator by dangling a prison sentence over his head the moment he stops being president. They botched all these cases by waiting too long.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

have a rich daddy
get away with everything
Thats the whole law guys
I support this. If he somehow survives another 4 years, throw him in jail after where he belongs
Why? Put him in jail before January so he spends 4 years as a jailed president
Practicality beats purity, sadly.
I mean why not? Throw him in jail, invoke the 25th, 2nd term cancelled!
this is how we end up with a jd vance presidency. i’m honestly not sure if that’s worse
That'll happen regardless. They'll martyr Trump before midterms and use that as a reason to declare martial law and cancel elections.
i really hope you’re wrong about that second part. keep in mind this is probably like 50% cope on my end, so take it with a grain of salt. but i do hope that jd vance’s sheer unpopularity will make that hard. it seemed like everybody hated him going into the election, and they were voting only for trump. so if trump gets martyred, i could see the party fracturing, with many people unwilling to blindly follow vance in the same way they followed trump.
I'm not so sure. I think their allegiance to the party trumps (lol) their sanity in voting for a non-republicab. I mean, look how we got 45 as 47.
This is how the resistance fights!!! \s
Bush was bad enough with his drink-driving conviction. Trump's sentencing would confirm his conviction and actually mean he can't enter many countries, including even Canada.
.... which I would love to see, to be clear.
Trump will be able to enter Canada just like Bush was. There's paperwork to fill, the process is available to anyone from the USA with a criminal record and that wants to visit Canada, the paperwork was filed every time Bush visited, the border service agency just needs to approve the visit (which they'll do for Trump).
It sucks but this is the realistically the only way he'll ever see justice, assuming there's courts in 4 years.
Seriously? Do you really think this country will ever apply the law to a rich R? I've got some bridges to sell you pal.
Yeah - we should just let them preemptively get away with it since they’re probably going to get away with it anyway…
If only we'd had 4 years in which to act.
I said I support it, don’t you? I believe it is unlikely, but fuck Trump. Roll over and die if you want
Nobody is above the law! lmao.
