Gonna have to agree with Musk, if he gets put in handcuffs there goes 2024.

It'd be akin to digging for gold year after year, finally getting it, finding out it's a gold colored stick of TNT ... and it's lit, within your hands. The universe loves a good joke.
Sure, there might be some momentum there, but what violent ready trumpanzee asshat is gonna go DeSantis cause Trump gets indicted?
Also remember that Elon has publicly showed himself to be not the genius the world thought he was… He is not tapped into political reality, actually I am pretty sure he is tapped into magic mushrooms.

I think we should acknowledge most of us are not good at predicting the future especially with regards to Donald.
No seriously, think about it. How many people here successfully predicted Donald would win the 2016 election, and most of the scandals he engaged in or was implicated in (approximately a thousand), and he would lose the 2020 election and he would call for armed insurrection AND thousands of people would descend on the capital building AND they would assault the place and several people would be killed in that escapade and he would be allowed back on twitter?

We should stop assuming anything and just be ready for all the worst case scenarios. If they dont come true, great.

MAGA is calling for DeSantis to resist the arrest warrant, up to and including with the use of force.


I’ve always believed that sending out the National Guard to start a civil war on behalf of a criminal is exactly the kind of credential that every aspiring presidential candidate should have!

Especially a guy like DeSantis:


Ron is going to have a rough week. I have this mental image of DeSantis ringing up Donald and saying “Tell me, sir, have you ever heard of Ernst Rohm?”

Apparently MAGA protesters are going to Florida to form a "MAGA moat shield" around him.


I remember John Edwards (John Kerry’s former running mate) went to trial on very similar issues (I.e. using campaign money to pay off a mistress), but was acquitted after the jury deadlocked on most issues. If Trump goes a similar route, can you imagine the chaotic political landscape that will result? I still am not confident this will fly.

Every case is unique. In the Trump case we already have someone who went to jail committing a crime FOR Trump. The Trump DOJ said Cohen did it under direction from Individual #1. DOJ then failed to prosecute Trump because of the OLC memo.

This reminds me of how people constantly said any criticism or accountability for Trump meant he would win big in 2020. What really happened? He lost by one of the largest margins ever for an incumbent president.

It’s absurd this even needs to be said but being indicted is not good for someone’s electoral prospects. Like…duh.

Can we talk about Ken Paxton?

somebody in the news pointed out something I never thought of.
If he gets arrested, they will probably take his DNA somehow, like hair or cheek swab or whatever.
When that happens he can be linked to E Jean Carrol for rape. And anyone else who ever claimed rape.

So, here's a very interesting question: Since former presidents have AFAIK a permanent Secret Service detail, what happens if Trump is sentenced to a significant time behind bars
He’s going to get home confinement. No way he’s going to be jail cell buddies with Wessenburg.

Should be a standard stay at Leavenworth; no makeup, hamberders or KFC, zero ice cream let alone a 3rd scoop. Goodbye name brand adult diapers! But I doubt it. Will probably be a protected, semi solitary stay someplace decent, an accommodation given his history of staining the White House. Long as he's in a prison of some kind I will experience some measure of satisfaction. Oh to see him truly pay for his crimes though, properly. The number of American deaths at his feet not to mention the treason and seditious conspiracy, that he's been running around free this whole time is a crime in of itself feels like.

Sooooon.

Look on the bright side traitor - less golf time for you is a good thing.

There's nothing you say there that I wasn't warned about in advance including Michael Moore's prediction of MI falling to Trump and the nation consequently in 2016 (and yes, I was aware of those things before polls closed), explicit warnings from people here prior to Jan. 6, his loss in 2020 was predictable and I expected that, the Twitter rollback, but I expect DJT's chances in 2024 to be nil... he may or may not suffer from indictments, etc. I'm not predicting a lot, I'm not much into predicting anyway, "have no expectations" is a way of life I haven't abandoned.

That would be sweet.

There's the slight chance that the insurrectionists may wear masks this time around.
If they do that they are advertising themselves to be terrorists and the feds will be that much more aggressive in taking care of them. Ski-mask "demonstrators" attract the FBI.

Home confinement at Mar-a-Lago or Trump Tower is not punishment.
I think there will be special arrangements for him. He will not go to a regular jail, thats for sure. Just cant imagine him walking around a jail yard with 3-4 secret service in tow.
