When does this move from being a civil case into basic criminal harassment?

I understand that people are looking for any reason to get him off the ballot, even if it’s by finding him mentally incompetent, but every time I hear that, I worry about the ramifications to all his pending legal cases. If he’s considered incompetent to be president, I’m guessing he would also be found incompetent to stand trial.

ISTM, what we’d want to have happen is for all, or at least some, of these cases to wrap up with a guilty verdict, then if he runs, find him incompetent to be in office.

I have absolutely no idea. I looked at the site. The documentary features such luminaries as Tucker Carlson and Kash Patel. I looked no further.

I’m fine with him getting the John Hinckley treatment and spending the next 30 to 40 years in a looney bin.

We could even humor him a little. Give his cell a copy of the Resolute Desk with most of the drawers glued shut, a lifetime supply of gold sharpies, and stacks of paperwork covered in lorem ipsum with the word TRUMP peppered in every few paragraphs for him to sign, so when the doctors come to check on him he can just yell “GO AWAY, I’M PRESIDENTING!” while drinking his meds out of a bottle labeled Diet Coke.

We may be seeing a variation of The Bathrobe Defense. Marmot Mane envied the mob bosses he had to deal with; probably emulating Vincent Gigante. Gigante kept it up for 30 years; that’s beyond DJT’s attention span by 10,950 days.

My god, this man is an idiot. I am glad I am not in the purported John Deere elevator department.

It took a while to find the truth in that video, but the idea is:

Jan 6th was orchestrated by democrats to criminalize anyone questioning the 2020 election.  
The people that stormed the capitol are wonderful patriots who got duped (well I can agree with that last part at least).

They move grain, but I’m sure they can be retrofitted to work lifting jets on air craft carriers!
