From one of the reviews (4/5 stars BTW)…

to everyone who says stuff like “I don’t like Trump” etc. WHY are you watching a movie that obviously has Trump in it?! Just to criticize him? If so I’d say that that doesn’t sound very Christian to me.

LOL

I have bad news for that person, criticizing people over things that are none of your business is maybe the most Christian thing you can do.

I have more bad news for that person, criticizing people is not very Christian . . . therefore you aren’t very Christian!

I really wonder if the site and the reviews on it are satire. It’s either insane or brilliant. Here’s something from the lead review:

_“What if you heard a Voice, different from your thinking voice, a Powerful Voice talking to you in the second person inside your head? Giving you details you’d never imagined about one of the most critical events in the world? Would you listen?”_

So what’s next for Donny Fail-Fail? Georgia? Is Jack Smith more or less done or is there more Federal action to come?

He’s come undone  
He denied what he was headed for  
And when he realized what he was headed for  
It was too late  
He’s come undone  
He created a mountain of lies too high  
And when he found out he couldn’t fly away  
It was too late

I’m pretty sure there’s still an investigation into January 6. Whether Trump ever sees charges remains to be seen.

Proud Boys got up to 18 years in Federal prison for seditious conspiracy. I expect there may be evidence to pull TFG into the conspiracy. Good enough for me - no parole.

There is definitely something related to the fake electors coming down the pipe. I’m not sure whether Trump was directly involved with that but some Trumpian heads are going to roll (looking at you Rudy). Georgia is also going after him for the prefect phone call. There might be federal charges related to that or Smith might just let Georgia handle it. I think that proving beyond a reasonable doubt that Trump incited the attack on the capitol might be a bit too chancy for Smith to take on, but who knows.

I believe so too. I think any charges to Trump for 1/6 will be related to the fake electors.

The issue of inciting riots and then failing to do anything for hours while he happily watched them smash up the capitol, that has more of a political than legal consequence.

If even that, unfortunately.

The DA in Georgia instructed everyone to clear their calendars and work from home in August so that was a big hint that will be when she drops the indictment.

I am pretty sure the Washington DC grand jury is still active and just reconvened last week. So that one might be dropping soon as well.

Not to me anyway. Trump tried to destroy democracy. And yes, I call war against the US when you are a US citizen treason.

YMMV.
