    Honestly I don’t want to give him more incentive to go full dictator by dangling a prison sentence over his head the moment he stops being president. They botched all these cases by waiting too long.

    I support this. If he somehow survives another 4 years, throw him in jail after where he belongs

            That’ll happen regardless. They’ll martyr Trump before midterms and use that as a reason to declare martial law and cancel elections.

              i really hope you’re wrong about that second part. keep in mind this is probably like 50% cope on my end, so take it with a grain of salt. but i do hope that jd vance’s sheer unpopularity will make that hard. it seemed like everybody hated him going into the election, and they were voting only for trump. so if trump gets martyred, i could see the party fracturing, with many people unwilling to blindly follow vance in the same way they followed trump.

        Bush was bad enough with his drink-driving conviction. Trump’s sentencing would confirm his conviction and actually mean he can’t enter many countries, including even Canada.

        … which I would love to see, to be clear.

          Trump will be able to enter Canada just like Bush was. There’s paperwork to fill, the process is available to anyone from the USA with a criminal record and that wants to visit Canada, the paperwork was filed every time Bush visited, the border service agency just needs to approve the visit (which they’ll do for Trump).

      It sucks but this is the realistically the only way he’ll ever see justice, assuming there’s courts in 4 years.

      Seriously? Do you really think this country will ever apply the law to a rich R? I’ve got some bridges to sell you pal.
