"Florida Man With 91 Felony Charges Worried He Might Serve Prison Time."
Only 91? Shit. AZ state and NJ federal indictments need to get here soon.
Is the NJ federal case about him stealing documents as well?
The audio recording of him allegedly showing off classified docs and admitting he hadn't declassified them took place in New Jersey.
Many of us fret he won't.
I'd be okay with him going into exile in North Korea.
yeah. let him torture Kim for a while.
The realistic conclusion to that would be Trump spilling Top Secret info to North Korea. If not willingly, then via torture. But let’s be honest: It would probably be willingly.
Honestly, I don't think he has the awareness or attention span to be an accurate mole if he's limited to working from memory.
Lol absolutely. Can you imagine Trump trying to recite government intel from memory?
"So the document said bigly assets were all all over the country. My uncle, college professor in the nuclear
Hillary! Can you believe that, folks? Hillary. Johnathan Trump, went to MIT did the thing, this and that. Tremendous, it was tremendous this government secrets I am telling you now."
I was solidly in that boat for a while too, but seeing how many of his co-conspirators are tripping over themselves to testify against him lately gives me hope.
That's the problem with surrounding yourself with shady people who only have their own interests in mind. They're not loyal to him, he only kept them around because they told him what he wanted to hear, and they only told him what he wanted to hear because it helped them advance their own personal interests.
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.
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.
“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.
Yes, I'm sure Rolling Stone has excellent insights into Trump's private fretting.
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...
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.
“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"
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?
Apparently he just "ordered" congressional GOP members to shut down the government so they can't fund the DOJ lmaooo someone is getting desperate.
If someone tells you they cannot let something enter their mind, that means they are thinking about it constantly.
Thoughts and prayers, 45.
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.
club fed. that’s where you go when you commit federal crimes. he’ll still hate it.
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
I still have more faith in vigilante justice; legal just will continue to spin its wheels in the mud until he succumbs to his decades long suicide-by-cheeseburger. Our official resources have thus far proven to be less than worthless.
I'd be fucking delighted to be wrong, though!
...then again, Trump seems to be fracturing the hell out of the GOP, so keeping him as a wrench in the spokes isn't without a silver lining, albeit unsavory.
He'll likely be playing tennis at minimum security Club Fed if it's federal, but Georgia doesn't seem to do special treatment. If he goes in on Georgia state charges, he could end up in a for real penitentiary.
You know what I never worry about? Going to prison. I'm able to not worry about that because I don't go around breaking laws.
The smallest but most significant joys are things like this headline
