Wouldn't it be wild if the Orange One's wife ended up being coconspirator #6??

Truly a rare feeling to be a proud Tri-Citian!
the Secret Service has pretty explicitly said they will not allow Trump to go to prison…
Woah woah woah woah, did they say this? A cursory Google search only came back with results stating he won't lose their protection in prison, not that they won't allow him to be put away.
As I have the right to celebrate all the recent unprecedented actions by DOJ (I must concede that DOJ dragged their feet on a lot of this, and that it's pretty clear there's a two-tiered system for the rich "important" types and the rest of us plebs), you certainly have the right to doubt that this all will lead to anything significant. I have nothing to support my belief that the Orange One has finally reached the "FO" stage of FAFO but the indictments that have occurred thus far. However, I will say with confidence that these indictments aren't entirely meaningless (particularly the docs case), and that their unprecedented nature should be celebrated. The DOJ has taken steps that have literally never been taken before in our history as a country (the indictment of a former president), and while some might say justice delayed is justice denied, I still think that a slow response is better than no response at all.
That all said, I understand feeling skeptical or even hopeless at this point (I certainly felt that way after Impeachment Trial 2). Here's hoping, though, that we'll at least get to witness justice finally being served and that any pardons will be moot (I mean, c'mon, the guy's old!) if a Republican president is elected again any time soon!
Wouldn’t you always think that you are the reason that child is dead? Who would want that on their conscience.
There are some who would might find they have the ability to self reflect on their poor choices regarding COVID - albeit quite belatedly - as I've seen articles documenting such in my local paper. Overall, I'm afraid the notion that these denier types have a healthy conscience is not a safe bet.
Why risk children’s health or even death?
Because, a dangerous number of folks with a proclivity for believing disinformation/misinformation and/or with (in my opinion) Oppositional Defiant Disorder didn't believe COVID 19 was all that serious and/or refused to be "told what to do". They put our children in danger because they know better than the experts, or because "YOU'Re NOt The BOsS OF mE NOw!", or some combination of both.
“MY HAMBERDERS!!!! 😭”
You ask me? Donny boy is royally fucked. The documents case is a few steps too far, and even a rich former president of the US will have to sit behind bars for that one. Hey SHOULD be in jail already for that one.
He was! He now has three indictments under his belt.
- New York State hush money payments
- Classified Documents Case
- January 6 Insurrection
If you ask me, now we throw a few back tonight and wait for the fourth indictment coming from Georgia this month. 😎
There are many who choose not to celebrate until the Orange One has had "actual repercussions".
Me? Well...
To each their own. 🥂🍻🍸🍷
I guess none of us should have been surprised that a "moderate" Federalist Society conservative would drag his feet for fear of retribution from his own party. The best thing Garland has done for this country is assign Jack Smith as a special prosecutor. The next best thing he can do is resign so that perhaps an AG with intestinal fortitude can replace him.
