A place for ex-pats from the Denver Post comment section (closing down in July), as well as people that want to discuss Denver Post articles in general.
I'll believe it when I see it, but....I'd love to see it.
Internet says he has 30 days to bond and appeal so set your calendar.
Grab him by the tower. He shouldn't be too upset, he didn't earn any of this stuff anyway; it was all given to him by daddy.
They let you do it, if you're an AG.
I'd love to see this...Real consequences for this lame excuse of a human being! However, I'm sure some republicans will come to Trump's rescue as he has all of them by the balls/ovaries. A shame as this tanning spray-stained fool wields no actual power. It's his followers that hold the power of a cult.
I still find it so weird that their idea of a big strongly man is a rather fey Manhattanite failson who had it all handed to him by daddy and who spends 2 hours a day on hair and makeup.
Not only does he do a very poor job of faking being a businessman, he cannot even fake the xtian thing all that well. I'm convinced these people WANT to be fooled.
If it was a charismatic leader I could kinda understand, but Trump...? Really? You can hardly understand a thing he says.
I feel like they want to be fooled at this point as well; to push their hopes and dreams on a person that is "rich" as they feel powerless in their own lives. The billionaires are running the show now, currying favor with even a strange Manhattanite failson who mismanaged all that wealth is less of an onerous ask for them. Until they feel empowered to make meaningful changes, Trump is just their figurehead of a doomed future as they won't use their collective power to make a real difference.
You are both right. Also don't forget about 20 or so years of constant republican propaganda from fox News. Fox has kept MAGA scared, outraged and frothing for a strong dictator to fix things without deep state interference in congress.

I wonder which AG is gonna be shot first for going after Trump.
Since this craziness started in 2016, I have been amazed there haven't been assignations. The right makes villain out of anyone who is against them and are cracy enough to try. Meanwhile, the left as a legitimate case to worry about fascism so I could also understand someone on that side taking drastic action.
It is truly a wonder that the shootings have managed to stay in the schools and haven't really spilled into politics.
There have certainly been attempts. I think someone or some institution was tracking all the right wing political violence from recent years, but I cannot remember it right now. I still wonder what would have happened if those thugs at the insurrection had gotten their paws on some members of Congress and/or Pence.
My hope is they would have gotten the Ashley Bobbit treatment. Fuck around and find out.
