    If you put him in jail for a weekend, he’ll be treated like a martyr and will be treated like a king by the cops and guards, who are surely his own supporters.

        Yes, if he breaks… His supporters have literally taken the stance of “wearing diapers and shitting your pants is manly.”

        If he breaks, it’s because that’s what a man does. Hell, if video came out of him going down on some dude, you’d see all his homophobic followers wear “I suck dick for Trump” shirts, loud and proud, and with no hint of irony.

        Nothing matters to them anymore except Trump, so nothing Tru.o does can dissuade them… They’ll just change whatever they like/hate to stay on the team.

        Even if they put him in jail, it’d be like when Capone went. He’ll get his own cell by himself with a TV to watch fox news on, they’ll give him a phone to tweet his bullshit, probably a personal chef to make him Big Macs and Diet Cokes.

        This isn’t the case that’s gonna fix the justice system, even if we did throw him in jail.

          That’s no excuse to help him avoid jail or prison. Nobody should give a damn whether it causes his followers to act out. America can handle them.

      And? If his followers riot throw them in jail too. Tired of the legal system tip toeing around right wingnuts. They don’t do it for anyone else.

      Honestly. I am so sick of hearing “he’ll be a martyr” as if it’s a certainty. It’s excusing not giving him consequences.
