    These court cases are adding up. If he avoids jail time after all of this it would be a miracle or total conspiracy.

      This is mainly why he’s running for President, so he can avoid jail and attempt to pardon himself.

        He won’t be able to pardon himself in the Georgia case though. Presidents can’t pardon state crimes. So that one will be especially interesting and an indictment could come next month.

      Get ready to believe in miracles then because conspiracy is the name of the game in America. Pick your poison!

      100% belongs in jail. Won’t. Best offer will be house arrest @ Mar Largo. That motherfucker will also be granted “compassionate leave” to leave the property for whatever reason.

      If, by some miracle, he could actully be put behind bars…forget it. He’d jump on a plane and screw to a “friendly” non-extridition country.

        I mean I remember a tin of people saying there was no way he’d go to court for anything he did, or indighted, or arrested. So, I wouldn’t completely dismiss the possibility. He’s not exactly the GOP’s golden boy anymore.

          Appearing in court is literally 0 on an 10 scale. Means nothing to him and is a publicity stunt. Trust me. If, somehow, he were ever ordered behind bars for a conviction or contempt, etc…he absolutely will flee the country.

            I’m just saying, people keep saying things won’t happen to him, and then they do. The government kinda has a vested interest in making an example out of him. At least the Biden administration does. And Trump isn’t exactly popular in most other countries either.

              afaik nothing that has been happening to tfg is related to biden. It is mostly conservatives going after him, or independant in the case of Smith.

      Miracle is unlikely, but a total conspiracy wouldn’t be at all unexpected given the number of blatantly obvious ones we’ve seen from the right in the past 6+ years. If the trials go into 2024 and the Republican party gains power in both houses I would fully expect Congress to gut and neuter the DOJ before the conclusion of the trials. I think that’s why we’re seeing all the Jan 6th fake elector cases pop up the same week Trump got his letter from Jack Smith. They know there’s a good chance if the verdicts aren’t read in the next 16 months that they may never be.

      If his body survives this it’ll be a miracle. Hoping that miracles really don’t exist

      Oh it would be a conspiracy for certain. There should be no reality in which he won’t be found guilty and imprisoned for his crimes.
