        I would really prefer to see him live a very long time in prison but with the judiciary refusing to do literally anything to this POS… fuck it lets go hamburders

          I’d love to see it too, but I’m pretty sure that between the the logistics of locking up a former President and the very apparent dementia there’s going to be some kind of clemency. As long as he is permanently barred from political activity, is sentenced to some form of house arrest, and of course has to pay whatever restitution is required, I’d be okay with that.

            What logistics? You put him in a jail. Works for other people. “What about secret service protection?” They can go there with him. They can go home at night though. If you worry about his safety, put him in his own personal prison on an abandoned military base. It worked for Rudolph Hess.

            It’s only hard if you make it hard.

            House arrest is much too lenient for that man. I say this as someone who left their suburban property exactly once in the last 5 years.

        He really really needs to be tried. It’s the only way we’ll get past the “you can’t indict a president” nonsense.

        In some ways, I’d love to see Trump get into office January 20th at noon and then indicted by a federal grand jury at 1pm.

        But the headache of him issuing a pardon to himself is not something we’re ready for as a nation.

          I’m totally considering going to the California one due to the fascist Florida governor. But that is a lot more expensive to fly to. And I guess I could offset the moral dilemma, by pretending to be gay or wear a t-shirt saying I’m there to celebrate Trumps jail time.
