I’ll believe it when I see it. We will never see him behind bars. Two tiered justice system.
Absolute best case is house arrest imo, and I’m sure his lawyers will make sure it includes the entirety of his resort, so basically nothing will change
I’d love to be wrong, but I don’t think I will
This is my hope as well. At least he can’t hold hitler style rallies if he’s confined to the resort though.
There’s a lot of space at that resort for guests. I’d bet he’d set up stadium seating and sell tickets to his regular “Rallies” which MAGA types would absolutely flock too like it’s the new Disneyland. Gross.
The orange gusher would spew crap daily at noon, more reliably than Old Faithful. It’s be quite the sight.
I totally agree.
He won’t go and both sides don’t want him to go. It sets a presidence that they the rich ruling class is weak to the rules.

Nah, if you think, say, AOC or Bernie Sanders wouldn’t love to see the door slam behind 45, I think you’re mistaken.

My hope is that he lives for another 5 or 10 years in solitary confinement.
he probably wouldn’t last a year in solitary.
Solitary confinement isn’t really solitary most of the time. It’s far less pitch black rooms with a slat you slide a tray of slop into, and more of a lights always on, talking to your neighbor through the vents/shouting chess moves at each other.
Not that it isn’t inhumane in its own way, but many people seem to think that you’re basically sensory deprived and that’s just not the case.
I mean, what would like to see- which probably is cruel an unusual, but I can be like that sometimes- is trump given a news feed and maybe social media, but he can’t respond/post. he just gets to passively watch as the world moves on and forgets about him.
I would love for Trump to live to 120 with a totally sound mind and experience total irrelevance. That would be wonderful punishment. In a cell would be great, but I’d settle for him to be alone in a cheap motel room with cable TV.
I’ve been saying just that for years. It’s the only thing that fits, total destruction of his towering self image.
but only ‘woke’ news, not the cooker shit he consumes
naw. all of it. together. So he can see the slow slide to irrelevance.
And that’s just the thing. The more the news moves on from Trump and talks about other people, the more Trump would label it as woke/liberal/socialist. FOX News could, five years post-Trump-imprisonment, spend all their time on the important right wing subjects of the day and Trump would think they’ve gone lefty because they weren’t talking about him.
We can still hope
“When you guys put somebody in the car and you’re protecting their head, you know, the way you put their hand over?” Trump said, miming the physical motion of an officer shielding a suspect’s head to keep it from bumping against the squad car. “Like, don’t hit their head, and they just killed somebody — don’t hit their head,” Trump continued. “I said, you can take the hand away, okay?”
I hope the prison guards remember this, it’s only fair.
I don’t understand the implication O:
Yes, I’m sure Rolling Stone has excellent insights into Trump’s private fretting.
because media stalwarts like Meet The Press are doing so great at holding Trump to account huh?
jfc man, dunno if you noticed the hellscape that is modern media but RS is doing pretty good these days.
It’s not like a Rolling Stone journalist went and asked. Journalists have these things called “sources”:
While Trump publicly professes confidence, privately, three sources familiar with his comments say, he’s been asking lawyers and other people close to him what a prison sentence would look like for a former American president.
three sources familiar with his comments
That would never have gotten past any decent editor 20 years ago.
See, if you say one unnamed source, it’s not quite as believable to people who lack critical thinking skills and reading comprehension. Better make it three. Five would be too many.
The yellow journalists also like to used “experts” (unnamed of course) to pedal their garbage talking points.
“Three sources familiar with some Rolling Stones writer’s thinking say they like to smell their own farts”
See, I can make shit up too.
Actual journalism isn’t quite completely dead, but it’s on life support.
I like that you’re so confident about something you couldn’t possibly know fuck-all about
I believe the term is known as “shitting bricks”

Sorry…shittin’ rocks.
I get this reference.

I think it’s important to cover his trials but I wish we’d ignore these articles which are rooted in gossip and nothing more. It’s just clickbait.
I understand your complaint, but I do relish the idea of Trump being worried shitless about this. And while the article’s sources are obviously questionable and it is merely hearsay, I personally do think Trump is terrified of going to prison. This is a man who has known nothing but wealth and privilege his entire life; spending his remaining years in a jail cell means not just a loss of his favored lifestyle, but public humiliation as well, which—for a malignant narcissist like Trump—is probably the worst part of it.
“They really don’t like me, they’re mean… they’re trying to send me to prison. They’d have done it too, though.”
Wtf. I can’t tell if this is a direct quote or you’re just making shit up for lolz.
It was me making shit up for lulz. but I like to think it’s something he’s muttered in the mirror. Instead of the “Gosh Darnit, People like me”
That sounds a lot like something he’d actually say.
Yeah we’ve really hit the point where it’s impossible to tell if that’s an actual Trump quote or made up.
You can tell if there’s a big word that’s used correctly that it’s fake, beyond that it’s anyone’s guess
I predicted he would die in prison when he clinched the GOP nomination in 2016- there was no way, I decided, he wouldn’t abuse his office and break a shitload of laws. The last 6 years has been a rude reminder that I seem to have wildly overestimated the capacity and will of America’s political and law enforcement establishments to hold anyone like him accountable for even the kinds of crimes he’s confessed to on the record.
See, I very naively thought that it would end with his impeachment. Like, I wasn’t surprised by the law breaking, but I figured that he’d be ousted by a simpler thing like emoluments or something. Oh to be young again…
And the thing was the GOP establishment could have just let him hang himself. They hate that they’ve become a personality cult, but it’s their own fucking fault for propping this guy up.
That’s what I don’t understand. They have had so many opportunities to get rid of him. They surely know he’s going to lose the next election, I have no clue why they don’t turn on him.
They’ve allowed him to build a personality cult. If they don’t bend the knee they lose their seat in the primary.
I figure he knew where he was heading the moment he learned Hilary had conceded.
His (starving) brain worms have made an impact since then but I swear, from the look on his face, that he knew where he would end up.
The Trump team was definitely not expecting to win in 2016. Trump himself looked borderline despondent.
So how does secret service work here
I assume he’d go to the lowest security safest place ever
More likely he’d go to an insanely high security place, he can’t be trusted around other people.
ADX Florence is built for exactly that kind of prisoner: spies, terrorists, etc.
I think the chances are that he’ll be on house arrest in Mar-a-lago. He deserves supermax, but when has what people deserve been relevant in the criminal “justice” system?
I feel like this might be the best case given the security requirements. Obviously, Mar-A-Lago wouldn’t be allowed to operate as a club anymore. The Federal government could take it over and turn it into Trump Prison. Nobody would be allowed in unless they were working to support Trump Prison.
Strip one bedroom down to the bare walls and put a prison cot in there. Keep the door locked from the outside with guards posted 24/7. Trump stays in there all the time except for meals and an hour of “outside time.” The room has no TV and he’s not allowed any electronics so there wouldn’t be any tweeting/“truthing”/etc from his home-turned-prison.
When he goes to eat, he’ll walk past the bare walls that used to signify that he was the King Of The Complex. Now, they’ll only signify glory days long gone. A bruise to the ego with every step. When he sits to eat, he’ll be in the same dining hall where he used to get served fabulous meals. (Or, at least, what passed for “fabulous” at Mar-A-Lago.) Instead, he’ll get standard prison food.
Even his “outside time” would be bittersweet to Trump. Instead of time outside talking with bigwigs on the way to go golfing, he’ll be shuffling around with armed guards nearby and no bigwigs to lavish praise on him.
Trump would be an empty shell of a man living in an empty shell of a club.
Grounded for life. If that were the case, I’d be okay with it for sure, fits for a big sloppy baby like him.
They’re not going to treat it like real prison for him - I’ll be surprised if he doesn’t have the run of the resort… Likely including daily golf.
I used to think that but it’s a golf resort… Maybe house arrest somewhere else?
I’ll be pleasantly surprised if he doesn’t have the run of the resort.
We need our own version of the Tower of London
I’d personally like to see him mummified in gympie gympie… Embrace his Australian roots and whatnot.
I was really hoping for the presidential desk crammed in a cell. Him all dressed up like he’s still going to work every day… reduced to rubbing Cheetos on his face because he can’t get bronzer.
This is what I’ve always expected. He’ll live the rest of his life like an arrested drug kingpin.
A boy can dream!
Good point.
Apparently he just “ordered” congressional GOP members to shut down the government so they can’t fund the DOJ lmaooo someone is getting desperate.
It’s beautiful. Republican leadership knows they’ll get the blame if there’s a shutdown and they’re trying to avoid it, and Trump tries to muck that up.
A large portion of the Republican Reps don’t like Trump any more than the Democrats. I’m sure they are following his “orders”
Sure but they’ll still suck his dick in hopes that he ejaculates a nomination.
But for 6 years they’ve propped him up, and now they’re stuck with him. They could have let him hang himself and gotten President Pence (who the GOP would have loved) in the first year of Trump’s term, but they didn’t.
Source? I’d love to share that one in the group chat
If someone tells you they cannot let something enter their mind, that means they are thinking about it constantly.
Thoughts and prayers, 45.
club fed. that’s where you go when you commit federal crimes. he’ll still hate it.
Probably, but we can still dream about him being in Federal Pound Me In The Ass Prison.

There’s a scene near the end of the Better Call Saul series where Saul Goodman is negotiating with the feds for better prison terms.
I feel like I heard somewhere that a meeting like this is not uncommon with high value/high risk criminals. In part to reduce everybody’s legal fees and in part to get criminals to cooperate on other matters, such as getting the crazies in their orbit to chill out.
I could imagine that as the feds close in on Trump, such a meeting may become more attractive to him. And at long last he’ll finally retire to a golden club fed with an escalator.
What if he turns into a devout Muslim in prison?
For that to happen he’d have to be capable of worshiping something other than himself.
Shit, even if he tried to fake it; I doubt he’d be able to get up off the floor from prayer.
Nation of Islam is like “WE DO NOT ALLOW PORK TO WORSHIP”
I could see it happening tho, “I am no longer Donald Trump, I am Quarter-Pounder-with-Cheese Shabaz Mo Frommage”
but whenever anyone attempts to address him that way he looks confused.
I’m waiting for a Hallmark Channel redemption arc for him. He goes to prison, slowly befriends his fellow cell mates and empathizes with them, and emerges a changed man who gives up his fortune in order to fight the injustices against the common man.
Because prison always turns people into a better version of themselves
It’s hallmark fiction, so yeah. Also, he gets back with Melllania who dumped him, and they raise happy, perfect kids together.
Also this all happens at Christmas time because they ran into each other in line for a street vendor selling pumpkin spice lattes
Also there’s a puppy in a christmas present with a bow on its head
Directly adjacent to the roasted chestnut cart
how could I forget the roasted chestnut cart. also the ice skating rink in the background. The script practically writes itself.
(mostly because hallmark scripts are copy pasta…)
Someone swap his blow with some Molly and see if he feels something for a change
Make Drumpf Merry Again
Not sure mdma can cure what this man has.
Maybe mushrooms? I feel like it would take a higher dose than he can handle.
Replace his blood with heroin, that should do it.
Reads the constitution. After a thousand times, he starts to get it.
“Oh, I should be in prison.”That made me chuckle
He goes on to form a golf team with some of the inmates at his prison, and in a partnership with Vince McMahon they start up a prison golf league where the various prison teams play each other in an annual tournament. The winners get extra Little Debbie snacks from the prison commissary. Eventually they make a movie, and Donald Trump is played by Rosie O’Donnell.
