    Regardless of the sentence, it’ll get stalled till after the election. So prison might actually be worse, as it’ll get his voters out and then if he wins there’s no way he’ll go to prison or have any other trials.

    But this makes him a felon, making jail on future convictions more likely under sentencing guidelines.

    So the most likely way he ends up in prison, is if he loses the election and then gets convicted on any other of his many charges. Since then he’ll already be a felon at sentencing.

    He should go to jail just off this, and Im just not holding my breath. And I wouldn’t be surprised if SC shenanigans come into play at some point. Or if he just keeps the appeal wheel spinning till he drops dead.

      I said this a week ago, and got obliterated for it. I’m glad this concept seems to be resonating with other Lemmings now that some time has passed.

      I completely agree with your other analysis as well. If the goal is for Trump to get what he deserves from the long dick of the law then the only way that happens is if he loses this election.

      The last thing anybody who gives a fuck about the future of democracy in this country should want is to turn that cocksucker into a martyr five months out from the only personal referendum on his ideology that we are going to get.

        There is a very fine line on what gets up voted/down voted on here.

        Most of my comments get a whole bunch of one or the other.

        From what I’ve been able to tell, planning up to six months is fine, but anything more long-term than that gets down votes to oblivion.

        There’s some interesting psych stuff where stress (especially from resource scarcity) make people incapable of planning ahead for any significant amount of time. And I think that’s coming into play a lot lately.

        The prospect of a second trump term should be incredibly stressful for a rational American. The problem is that trump is far from the only serious problem facing America.
