    This guy. If anyone of us filled that, we’d be locked so fast. But, no…this wad gets to carry on like some jackass. When will he be gone from our lives?

      I have a feeling that we’re going to have to wait for natural causes cause I have very little faith in actual justice being served.

        I concur, if only for the reason that the US won’t dare set the precedent of sending a former president to prison.

      There is a difference though, putting an ex-president in jail would create such a political shitstorm that it just wouldn’t be worth it.

      Meanwhile, put any or all of us in jail, no one would care 😂.

        this is exactly what was being said years ago regarding the russian collusion investigation, but every time i see someone saying it on here it gets downvoted. reddit and lemmy are fake intellectual shitholes. the toxic optimism here is worse than stupidity.

        putting an ex-president in jail would be complicated. the guy has state secrets and a lifetime secret service escort. im sure it could be done, but at most it wouldn’t be a normal jail sentence.

      After sentencing sometime in April or maybe May after the Federal trial finishes for the obstruction charges. After that, the rest of the crew gets federal charges to piggyback Georgia indictments. He’ll then die in prison shortly afterward and his insane followers will scream that he was murdered and commit terrorist acts for decades.

      Oh, to answer your question, not until we’re all long dead.
