        If he isn’t pardoned I think he will spend the rest of his life on house arrest or in prison. These charges are serious, there’s undeniable evidence, and there’s about to be multiple venues so he can’t rely on a judge helping him in every case. Without a pardon his best outcome is being in a mar a lago prison until he dies.

        But he’s likely to get a pardon before then.

          Federal pardons issued by the president apply only to federal offenses; they do not apply to state or local offenses or private civil offenses. Federal pardons also do not apply to cases of impeachment. Pardons for state crimes are handled by governors or a state pardon board.

            State charges don’t and will never affect presidents while they are in office. Alabama can’t just issue an arrest warrant for Biden. They would if they could. NY and/or GA state will have to wait until after he’s out of office to continue its judicial outcomes, if he wins.

            And no senate is going to impeach trump as long as there is a Republican Party.

          Hes gonna get a sweetheart plee deal where hes inelligeble to run for office, payd a big fine, and never sees prison. The US already has displayed is had no idea how to punish people like him. They straight up dropped the chages on Matt Gaetz for diddling children, I have no hope for anything real happening to Trump.

    “Vorpious de liporius octo”, the coverup is worse than the crime.

    Let’s hope if the crime isn’t enough that his attempts to cover it up are what takes him down.

        Wrong!

        They learned they’d never let one of their criminals face punishment ever again. As a result they created FOX News in order to always be able to control the narrative and always muddy the waters.

        It has worked brilliantly for them so far. And the only cost has been a complete erosion in the trust of news, complete erosion in civil discourse complete erosion in bi partisanship.

        They have taken a metal pipe to democracy’s kneecaps just to make sure their criminals never have to pay any real consequences.

        All of this btw is fully documented. I’m sad to say say, but some brilliant minds put a lot of work into establishing and creating fox news… It’s very sad.

        It’s kind of like today we have brilliant engineers spending their time fighting ad blockers and shoving ads down people’s throats.
