Jail Him

Jeff Wise – New York Magazine

Donald Trump is facing an extreme sliding-doors scenario on Election Day. If he wins, he would have the power to single-handedly scuttle the federal criminal cases against him, be immune from prosecution while in office, and, thanks to the Supreme Court, have broad immunity from prosecution once — if — he leaves. If he loses, though, he will face criminal penalties that could leave him in command of a 70-square-foot prison cell for most of the rest of his life.

Here’s to the arrogant, self absorbed, sex offender, criminal losing in a weeks time.

Fuck that guy.

Oh the irony

“If she [Hillary Clinton] were to win this election, it would create an unprecedented constitutional crisis. In that situation, we could very well have a sitting president under felony indictment and ultimately a criminal trial. It would grind government to a halt.”

~ Donald J. Trump, 5 November 2016

Oh Darn!

Former President Donald Trump has been unable to obtain an appeal bond to secure a $454 million civil judgment against him in a New York business fraud case, his attorneys said in a court filing Monday.

It could not have happened to a nicer fellow. Congratulations, Donald!

Fucking Supreme Court

This is a clear and total victory for Trump. The trial will not conclude before the election, heck, it may not even get started, but that was the plan all along.

Nice work SCOTUS, by taking this up you’ve driven another nail in the coffin of American Democracy.

Fuck Trump.

I meant to steal more!

That’s important background to Trump’s primary defense in his stolen documents case. Between his motion to dismiss because the Presidential Records Act doesn’t say what he claims it saysand his motion to dismiss for absolute immunity, he is arguing that he intended to steal boxes and boxes of classified documents.

We all know he did these things and at the rate the trials are going he’s going to delay in hopes of winning the election.

If he does it all magically goes away.

Fuck that guy.
