As I’ve often remarked, we will know when/if Trump is ever actually at serious risk of facing consequences for his actions because right-wing media will be referring to him as “longtime Democrat Donald Trump”. Ain’t happened yet, AFAICT. ---

I listen to FOX owned WABC in new york city. They haven’t completely turned on him yet, but it’s getting there. Could be the multi-billion dollar lawsuit. ---

[I’m with you on this one, Martha!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68Uv959QuCg) Bit of a nitpick (or wishful thinking): Ms Agnifilo said, “or former president, I should say”. Nah, Ms Agnfilo. What you should have said is “so-called president”. God, I’ll be so happy if the police allow the press to record and broadcast Tan the Conman getting handcuffs put on him, but not in a fun way. ---

Unfortunately for most of us, he will probably not be handcuffed or perp walked. Unless he makes the request himself in order to further his claims of martyrdom. I do hope he doesn’t get much action from his call to protest. That might sting a bit. ---

A former president being arrested for such a tawdry crime as paying off a sex worker is beyond embarrassing for this country. I’ll be very curious as to how Republican lawmakers will react to this. Dead silence would be my guess, with a select few harpies shrieking around the edges of the boiling cauldron. As for demonstrations, don’t underestimate the number of loyal asshats that are out there just waiting for a call like this, and most of them carry weapons.
