Any chance we can get Randy Rainbow a presidential medal of freedom?
It’s not accidental. They know it’s what their base actually wants to do. So they throw red meat by saying the quiet part out loud, then say they were being facetious to create plausible deniability.
Personally, I doubt that Trump sees the inside of a prison cell. It’d be too difficult to give him secret service protection. I’d be okay with house arrest.
With an ankle monitor.
At one of his residences that doesn’t have a golf course.
Better if it has a course. Ankle monitors don’t let you go far enough outside to play golf. A course being right there but him being unable to play on it would be delightfully torturous for him.
I’ve always thought it would be most fair to give wealthy people house arrest as punishment for non-violent crimes, but they have to trade houses with someone in poverty.
House arrest wouldn’t be a practical option – he needs to be surrounded by sufficient security to discourage “rescue” attempts from Meal Team Sixpack.
Prisonise MAL. Ten foot fences, concertina wire. We know the drill. Or even better, use the same barriers that he erected along the border. That’s what I want to see.
Mexico: “Hey, we’ll actually help pay for this wall!”
But wouldn’t the huge gaps between panels be a problem?
Same drill Limbaugh used when he went too far and had to backpedal: “Hey, folks, I’m just an entertainer.”
Of course, entertainers ought to be (I know I’m going out on a limb here) entertaining. Just sayin’.
I’d be okay with Congress enacting a law which prohibits Secret Service protection for anyone convicted of a crime against the United States or any of the several states.
However, I can get behind this. “You are hereby sentenced to a term of ten years of home confinement and your new address is…”. It should be a locale which is least likely to welcome him or his supporters, thus cutting down on the possibility of the below mentioned Meal Team Sixpack.
And that security should be those already trained in securing a prison. Those would be the prison’s correctional officers, not the United States Secret Service.
Nah. We already know those barriers don’t work.
But Mexico might be willing to pay for it then.
Maybe Mexico will pay for it if it’s up on our northern border. Too close to Mexico, and Tan the Conman might slip through into Mexico.
Which of the apologists had “boxes of misappropriated classified material still not enough to bring charges” ?
He is never going to see a criminal court.
Garland is too… proper? Chickenshit? Oldschool?
to actually put cuffs on a former president. Maybe that is a good thing, but from my POV it is a failure of the US justice system. (“Above the law” indeed)
One thing you can be 100% sure of, he isn’t waiting to bring charges because there is some “investigation” ongoing. MG already has all the proof he is ever going to need/get.
He’s not going after Trump for realsies. Not now, not ever. That might be good (you cannot go after Trump without dealing with Barr and Rosen, creating all kinds of weirdness at the DoJ). But to claim he is going after Trump but is slowly crossing his t’s and dotting I’s is just wishful thinking.
I think you completely missed where the DOJ has publicly stated that there is probable cause that Donald Trump has committed a crime. We’ve gone way past the “Garland is too chickenshit to do anything” stage. At this point you’re just digging in your heels.
Please remind me when you see Donnie do a perpwalk. I would absolutely love to congratulate you on being right.
Until then I do not see what you are so confident about. Mueller provided enough evidence years ago. I don’t see the DoJ falling over themselves to do anything about that. I don’t see any grounds to believe this case is any different.
He had cover of being the president. I think that extends retroactively; I don’t think the DoJ thinks they can/should go after a sitting president, including after the fact when they’re out of office for stuff they did while president.
It seems pretty evident that Garland is going after him, and it’s for stuff from after he was no longer president. That’s a material difference, I think.
He will never be incarcerated or face justice in any meaningful way.
Eh, this kind of pessimism is actually pretty healthy in today’s political climate, you are either right or pleasantly surprised.
But, I do think that things have moved enough that you should start bracing yourself to having some faith in humanity restored.
