Other grand juries, such as for the documents at Bedminster, have not been announced.

The E. Jean Carroll trial for sexual assault and defamation where Trump was found liable and ordered to pay $5 million before immediately defaming her again resulting in a demand for $10 million is not listed as it’s a civil case and not a crimimal one.

Any of the rest of us would have been in a jumpsuit and jail cell a long ass time ago.

If the left had sacked the capitol, a state of emergency would have been declared, a widespread and indiscriminate arrest and detainment of thousands of people tagged as ‘leftists’ would have occurred, and we would have been under martial law.

Wheels of prosecution turn slowly. Normal people wouldn’t be imprisoned yet, either.

Federal trial dates are typically 12-18 months after indictment in the US.

If Trump was black, the cops would have killed him by now.

By “rock Trump world” I think they meant make absolutely no difference to anyone wrapped in right wing propoganda blankets. Tuning in last night it was about how the left is “grasping at straws” going after the poor “janitor”

Was going to post almost the exact same comment. This changes literally nothing for about 20% of the country. If anything, they will just double, and triple and quadruple-down on him being a martyr and these are all politically motivated charges.

More like 43% of the Republican voters.

Republicans represent roughly 1/3 of the registered voters. 43% of that would represent roughly 15% of the entire country.

Did they really though? One extra guy caught up in all this, but it’s just sort of par for the course for Trump world. They’ll just keep denying, deflecting, and calling out the “Biden Crime Family”. I’ll believe Trump world is thoroughly “rocked” if/when Trump goes to prison.

They actually really love their martyrs in that group. At this point, Trump has probably outlived his usefulness as an active politician in the GOP and he’s much more useful to the party as a symbol and a martyr (assuming he can’t steal the 2024 election). He’s their new Ronald Reagan, the standard that new GOP leaders and faithful are judged against. Their new slogan may as well be WWTD? (What Would Trump Do?), because that’s how they’ll frame everything for the next decade or two.

And if you try to tell anyone you were sexually assaulted, be prepared to have your family threatened with violence.

There’s a fun form you can fill out where you get to make the park owner money and go to jail for them as they sit back and laugh at your stupid volunteer work

There’s a roadside attraction I drove past recently in the northern part of Michigan called trump land. Had signs and shrines on both sides of the road. I truly do not understand how people can be that batshit insane and still be allowed in civilized society.
