He'll never see one second in a cell. Not that he doesn't deserve it.

Perhaps, but at least his passport could be confiscated in the meantime given he is a flight risk.  So if he has plans on fleeing to Dubai or someplace else that has no extradition treaty with the United States, he might want to consider doing so in the not-too-distant future...  

This reminds me...what do we make of the revelation that Giuliani purchased plane tickets in cash last month to Switzerland? He is currently under subpoena to come testify to the grand jury in Georgia investigating trump's voter fraud in 2020. Is Giuliani a flight risk?

since when can you buy plane tickets with cash in this day and age?

Good question. I'm just going off of what I read here

This will not be a good thing for a midterm with Biden's approval so low. Could wind up motivating Republicans.

Trump's base already live in a completely separate media ecosystem that has been painting him as a victim continuously since 2015, and this isn't going to change that.

They’d better have something serious on him.

If they don’t, Trump will become a martyr.

I keep seeing this take now from doomers and Republicans and I think it’s idiotic. Hillary never was indicted or convicted of anything related to the emails, didn’t stop them from damaging her fatally. A cloud of suspicion can be enough.


Being realistic doesn’t mean I’m being a doomer.

I do think this makes him much less likely to be the Reputation nominee in 2024. Like, extremely less likely. I think it likely kills any chance he had, tbh.

I still say he’d become a martyr if they don’t have something concrete.

I worry he is easier to beat than DeSantis though, and if this hurts Trump, it helps DeSantis.

Yes, everything is always good for Trump. Surely the politician that other Republican candidates lick the ass of being searched by the FBI will be what it takes for them to win!

In alternate universe 2018, President Hillary Clinton leads the Democrats to surprisingly hold both the Senate and House after her Chappaqua home is raided by the FBI!

Richard Nixon went on to continue his second term in peace after he was investigated!

It's the ultimate sign of victory in American politics!

Modern Republicans are 100% the villains. They actively work every day to attack LGBTQ rights, women's rights, worker's rights, democracy, the working class, the planet... should I go on?

It's a slippery slope though. This guy lost an election and still received 74 million votes.

I keep seeing THAT number pulled out by doomers and Republicans and I think THAT is also idiotic. Turnout was way up, obviously his vote total would go up for that reason alone but was still well below Biden’s 81 million! Reminder that Trump NEVER has gotten more votes than his opponents; Hillary got more votes in 2016 too. Even in the 2016 primaries, he only won with a plurality. It’s absolutely bizarre how people keep bringing up that 74 million number as if it’s somehow proof Trump is exceptionally popular when actually in context it’s proof he’s exceptionally unpopular. 7 million more people came out to vote AGAINST him.

Republicans have been the villains since their founding.

The Ben Collins tweets pretty much cover this, but this is probably the highest level of vitriol I've seen on the right-wing web since the lead-up to January 6th.

Stop calling people doomers.

Trump caused havoc in this country and so far has gotten away with everything, even when it seems like walls are closing in on him. It’s not illogical to doom when it comes to Trump.

Anyway, he WILL become a martyr to some portion of the country. C’mon. You don’t think the MAGA people won’t treat him even more like a god? They took over the Capitol and killed cops for him.

I’ll call people doomers who are being irrationally pessimistic and imagining the worst case scenario even in the face of good news. And the guy lost and failed every attempt to overturn that loss. He’s not invincible the way his supporters and even some of his opponents like to make him out to be.

And he won’t be a martyr to anyone who didn’t already worship him. His cult isn’t big enough to win. Elections are won by swing voters. This won’t help him with them.

This probably wouldn’t apply to the presidency since the qualification and disqualification rules are in the constitution and a law does not supersede that . Now a conviction for attempted insurrection could as their is a provision in the constitution that says those people are disqualified

This is insanely dramatically written “raided and under siege” and meant to provoke an emotional response in his supporters. He really can be a drama queen can’t he?

Ferguson has said over and over he views conservatives to be evil and people who vote Republican to be less moral than those who vote democratic.

So it is a valid question to ask him

I don’t know why but I feel this will hurt Biden and the democrats in the midterm. People will blame them as a “political witch hunt” and use it to further the nonsense bothsidisms.

Or maybe I’ve just been around my dad for too long
