          4 cases, 91 individual indictments.

          I know, it’s a lot to keep track of. (And those are just the criminal cases!) There’s also the fraud case in NYC, and the E Jean Carroll case, both of which he’s appealing (and will lose), and Carroll might just sue him again for a hat trick!

              It’s ok, he is so broke they just reduced the amount because why ever actually do something that negatively impacts him?

              I fully expect that he is getting a cut of the ridiculously high lawyer fees.

                They only reduced the bond amount he has to pay during appeal, not the judgement amount. And he still can’t seem to come up with an adequate bond— the bond he got came from a shady-ass company that’s not only not licensed to issue bonds in NY, the company itself doesn’t even have the cash to cover the bond it issued, so the court rejected it, lol.

                Trump will still lose the appeal and have to fork over the full amount. The bond was just to halt asset seizure during the appeal process.

    He’s been talking about jailing his opponents since 2015, and probably before that. I guess it gets old after awhile

      Yeah, it’s not that we don’t care, there’s nothing we can do except vote. It’s like stalking laws, there’s nothing that can be done until someone gets hurt.

    Even his most ardent supporters don’t take him seriously. They just love how he is just as racist and fascist like them. Not one of his supporters will be voting for him so he can make their lives better. All they want him is to make black and brown people’s lives miserable.

      If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his pockets for you.

      There is a not insignificant number of his supporters who think he’s saving the country from a collection of weird conspiracies (remember the pizza shop bullshit).

      • They are being told cities are raging hell holes (one of them I talked with was afraid to visit his local city of around 100,000 people without having multiple guns on him)
      • Trans people are either trying to cheat at sports or grooming their kids (something the Republican Party seems to disproportionately do themselves)
      • Libs are both too stupid to see all their “truths”, and cunning evil bastards who want to eliminate them, their gas stoves, and their precious fucking guns (again projection).

      Yes plenty are racist bigots, but a lot are dumb and brainwashed by social media, OANN and Fox’s constant stream of bullshit.

    If the Supreme Court rules the president has immunity, what would stop Biden from throwing Trump in jail?

      Because for some reason, Democrats insist on fighting with one arm tired behind their backs, out of this fear of being seen as unprofessional or something. Meanwhile Republicans are eye gouging and using steel chairs and get away with it. I think it’s time some democrats grew some balls and started using Trump’s bullshit against him

      Biden won’t do it because Dems are still living in a fantasy world where they can compromise with Repubs and not get stabbed in the back.

      If he does do it then SCOTUS will suddenly have original interpretation which makes it unconstitutional when a Dem does it, so IDK, maybe I agree that he might as well not stoop the that level.

    Trump ran on throwing Obama in jail for unspecified ‘crimes’. He had four years and started out with at least a set of competent people. Even if he wins again, his legal team will make it look like he enacted the 13th amendment of 1812 (the one that almost made it illegal for lawyers to work for the government).

    Ok tho I know this isn’t really the place but this article’s picture perfectly captures how I picture it whenever I read the words “trump said/did”… like really look at his face! He looks like a fucking giant crying baby throwing a fit, not some strong great leader fighting injustice.

    Seriously.

    (Sorry to the baby to compare you to that monster. I hope that is the worst thing to ever happen in your life)
