    Yep, I get why some would be pessimistic after years of nothing happenning to the man, but this is kinda it. I mean, what else do people expect, no due process and straight to prison? This is the worst actual outcome for him right now, and possibly the best for America. I figure he could be considered a flight risk and be put in jail pending process, but I figure this would be a worst outcome for America, considering his deathcult. You’re 2 fox news articles away from them claiming be died in jail and resurrected like Jesus.

      For me, he has to either die, or be banned from holding any political position again.

      The level of incredibly pissed me off.

      He’s garbage, and needs to be treated as such.

      The Jan 6 stuff might not stick, and even if it does his supporters have plenty of mental hoops they can jump through to justify.

      Those classified documents though… he ain’t getting out of any of those. He fucked up big time with that bullshit. He’s going down for it hard.

        It’s about more than Jan 6. It’s about an attempt to replace the electoral college with phonies. Jan 6 was just the most public part of the plan.
