    Ok … so, yea, I’ve already taken my “sleep medication”, but I can still mostly follow the conversation. But, this …., I’m not seeing the relevance.

    Who shoots them?

    Many of those that work in the State Security Forces by day are the same that burn crosses when not collecting overtime.

    Could Trump ever put himself in any situation even vaguely resembling danger?

    Not a hypothetical. Dude literally was known for refusing to walk* with other world leaders during summits instead famously taking a golf cart that was flown in for him.

    https://thehill.com/homenews/admini...cart-while-g7-leaders-walked-through-siciliy/

    *Although to be fair just because he refused to walk doesn’t necessarily mean he can’t walk. He has stated his belief that people are born with a certain amount of energy and he just chooses to concentrate his on deals, business and politics and not wasting it on other BS.

    Physical exertion and physical danger are totally different things. He had no problem walking over to that church near the White House once his goons assaulted the peaceful protesters surrounding it. :async:
    Apparently he's more or less correct, for mammals in general. :marathon:

    Trump certainly hasn’t been afraid to physically assault women.

    The dems are slow walking this shit for political points so by the time the trial begins we will be in 2024. Unless Biden drops dead or becomes a vegetable he willo run again. That means a Desantis presidency, and the reps probably run Trump as VP. Desantis will protect Trump and pardon him and his people ending any charges. The only thing that stops this is Trump's ego which would mean the reps let the charges go far enough to keep him off the ballot and desantis pardons him and choses another VP. I think Trump takes the VP slot because it is his only option, he gets to play with confidential records again, and VPs just golf and do rallies. He can still raise political money, and desantis will take him to avoid a fight, and desanbtis can then break every law imaginable because no one would impeach him.

    2 more years and america is becoming the kingdom of desantis. Donald Trump was never a danger, but a desantis that cannot possibly be killed or impeached because donald becomes pres again is the end of elections and freedom. Worst of all is I am positive desantis understands this completely. Desantis is the emporor and Donald Trump is Jar Jar handing him the throne.

    Hey there jews, hispanics, and black people I will see you in the showers.

    trump will always choose to be in the spotlight. If it appears to be dangerous, he will hire people to keep him safe during that danger.

    That's the best case scenario, and hopefully he dies before the '24 nomination cycle can begin.

    Not that I wouldn't put it past his rabid stans to write in his name en masse in a primary and/or general election. :blink:

    Now that, I would love.

    I don't think they'd do anything so convenient, though. They'd just find another fascist to latch into.

    Possibly Don Junior.

    I'd love it if they'd just go all the way to thinking reality is a holodeck simulation, and killing yourself gets you to the reality with still-living Trump.
    Nice and neat and tidy like the Heaven's Gate idiots.

    So a couple of thoughts.

    One, he may keel over and die and minute now, which probably would be the best for everyone. Let the investigations continue though and sweep up any lawbreakers that helped him.

    Two, if he doesn't, IMO that event with Biden with the red scary lighting terrifying the MAGAts he was calling them out on their fascism was more than just that.

    It was one last gasp to try to peel off any sane or moderate conservatives because they've told Biden that an indictment is coming down, and he's trying to get ahead of the curve before the idiots riot. And he's letting them know the consequences of that action.

    Because they have him dead to rights on espionage and obstruction, and this time it's not MAGA world in power to cover for him. And with all those missing documents and the recent raid on the Russian oligarch they might have him on actual treason.

    And that's just one of four grand juries impaneled at both the state and federal level that are marching toward real consequences, and they also have a cooperating witness in Weisselberg to attack his corporation for all its illegal doings that could destroy his wealth and assets.

    His mentor, Roy Cohn, quit eating after he was disbarred and that’s what killed him, not HIV.

    The only way forward for America is if Donald J. Trump goes to prison. Period. Full stop. No debate.

    Anything less than that, and you can kiss the United States of America as you currently know it goodbye.

    And I'm honestly still on the fence as to whether that's a good or bad thing.

    Weisselberg pleaded guilty, but he’s not cooperating. The new chickenshit SDNY DA isn’t going to bring charges.

    My understanding is that he is cooperating when it comes to Trump Org but not Trump or his family directly.

    Which is fine by me. Just take away all his ill gotten gains (if there are any left) leaving them penniless. Georgia and the Feds can handle the criminal stuff.

    If I understand correctly, he will "testify honestly and fully" about the goings on at the Trump Organization and so long as the judge is satisfied that he's not lying or holding out he gets a light sentence. He doesn't have to testify directly against The Don(ald), but since by all accounts The Don(ald) was up to his neck in everything that went on there... :chris:
