It's becoming clear as to why the orange felon won't leave office.

[Imallin4Joe]

Deep down, he fears prosecution even if he won't admit it.

He knows what lies ahead if he is forced out of office.

Prosecute the snake.

If we as citizens care anything about rule of law.

LOCK HIM UP.

[jaysunb]

1. He's not being "forced " out of office.

He was voted out. He may be forced to vacate the premises, because he was fired from the job , not forced
Big difference.

[Cirque du So-What]

2. Correction: he WILL leave office

Whether he leaves willingly is in question, but his pasty, bloated ass will hit the curb on January 20, 2021.

[Imallin4Joe]

5. I'm concerned that he fears prosecution to the point..

that it will require him being led out in handcuffs, under arrest.

[Cirque du So-What]

6. I view your concern as unfounded. And highly entertaining to consider.

Orange Foolius would never allow such a thing to happen. He'll slink out the back door, away from cameras.

[Demsrule86]

14. And who cares? One way or the other, out he goes...fuck him.

[not_the_one]

33. Personally, I would love to see that. I would PAY to see that.

n/t

[Lucky Luciano]

35. Pay per view would make a fortune.

[mnmoderatedem]

49. and he owes it to us

with the deficits he ran up, Pay Per View may offset.

[3catwoman3]

44. I would, too.

Trump could even keep the money.

[Imallin4Joe]

48. Yes!! I would too!

[RicROC]

39. 45 years ago...

would have been a good time for him to fear prosecution. It would have saved so many small business owners from bankruptcy and our country from being split apart.

[MineralMan]

3. Oh, he WILL leave office.

Yes, he will.

[Imallin4Joe]

8. Yes, he will.

But I'm starting to think that it will require him in handcuffs, under arrest.

[CottonBear]

4. Correction: the Office of the President leaves the outgoing President.

One does not leave the office. The office leaves the outgoing officeholder.

[Frasier Balzov]

10. I like this.

I never heard it put this way, but it's spot on and I completely agree.

[CottonBear]

36. I heard this stated in a discussion on an NPR last week.

I can’t remember which show it was on, but it was mentioned during a lengthy discussion with presidential and governmental scholars and experts.

[Turin_C3PO]

16. Very good way to put it.

[Imallin4Joe]

51. Great way to put it! nt

[lark]

7. He's in the mddle of one of his largest grifts to steal lots of money from MAGATS.

He loses all that money if he concedes and we all know that everything is only about him. Money means much more to him that America or democracy or freedom or anything else. He has no empathy and doesn't care what he destroys, as long as he profits from it, that's 100% AOK with him. R states are enabling this by refusing to certify the results, but what will they do when their little ploys don't work out?

[Trueblue Texan]

37. This is exactly what is going on...

...no mystery. He will be gone before Jan 20

[vapor2]

9. He SHOULD be prosecuted for his crimes

I think there are at least 6 crimes he is guilty of but the one that stands out is .......manslaughter for the covid deaths that he knew of and ignored (and is still ignoring while sulking about his election loss). LOSER, FAILURE

[vapor2]

11. YES, a slush fund for himself

[RestoreAmerica2020]

46. Was that his final segment? Looked for something from him later in week--hope that wasn't

..we need his voice, yet talking about odiousloser#45 is toxic so wouldnt blame him if he took a break--like Biden and Harris have both said, "we've got this!" I think we all need a break from crazy.

[flibbitygiblets]

12. Giving more oxygen to "squattergate" only legitimizes it

We have a constitution. The people have spoken. There is no fraud. Jan 20 is coming and we'll have a sane president again.

[Demsrule86]

13. He will leave the White House...he has no choice.

[Kaleva]

15. The office will leave him on Jan 20, 2021.

[mzmolly]

17. What's difficult for me to understand

is the enabling by the Republican Party and various media outlets/pundits.

The R's claim to care about democracy, but it's proven they don't. They're not even deluded (as I once suspected). They are blatantly anti-democratic. They care about maintaining the current social pecking order, at any cost. It's surreal.

[BobTheSubgenius]

18. Couldn't agree more.

I hope the dread is eating him up.

[Imallin4Joe]

50. Same, I hope it is too. nt

[gordianot]

19. "Trump will never again have a good day for the rest of his life"

Lawrence O’Donnell called it correctly. Even if he manages to pardon himself of Federal crimes he will be hounded mercilessly by civil, foreign and State courts to the point of total financial collapse. Any Federal violations will need to be separated in time from his pardon and he will not be able to invoke the 5th Amendment. Sure he should have been on the hot seat earlier he is there now for sure.

[marieo1]

20. You're Fired DJT

I don't understand why we have to wait till Jan. 20th!!! Anyone else would get fired!!! He has never taken the job seriously. He needs to be gone, like "You're fired'.......He hasn't done the job in four years so why are we waiting so long? He has made all of us look like fool's and made us into the world's laughing stock!!!!! And...........he should NOT be able to pardon himself or anyone else either!!! The same rules that apply to a normal president SHOULD not apply to DJT!!!!

[gordianot]

22. I think there is a good chance after this fiasco plays out the Presidential pardon is reconsidered.

Who knows it may even become bi-partisan?

[yaesu]

21. his "attorneys" which may even include barr will probably try to get him immunity as an

ex president. If enough tRumpt up judges get involved this alone could tie things up for months, maybe years.

[Illumination]

23. Agree. But lock him up, throw away the key & let him rot in hell!...

[Marcuse]

24. Coming soon to a screen near you.

[marieo1]

27. lOCK HIM UP

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE IT!!!

[Imallin4Joe]

47. Perfect!! +1000

[cwydro]

25. "Forced?"

Wtf?

[grantcart]

26. Not deep down. It's the first thing he thinks about in the morning and the last thing before sleep

It is close to him all the time


His son in law's father went to prison

[Jon King]

28. Financially they are screwed....

The criminal and civil suits we shall see about, but the finances are his immediate worry. We live in Palm Beach County and it was a big story 8 years ago when he sold a mansion to a Russian for twice its market value. Once he is out of office and the full view of his finances come under fire, his family organization will collapse. Think Trump golf courses and buildings closing or being sold for large losses, loans being called.

Its comical to think people feel he will be viable in 2024. Over the next 2-3 years his entire world will collapse. Guaranteed Melania and Baron will head for the hills.

[Stuart G]

29. I know it is hard to believe, but worse than prosecution is "poverty as he sees it"

Being prosecuted is one thing, having to pay huge fines,...and becoming bankrupt again, with no one to
bail him out could be another. Yes, he will have to sell all his assets yes, all his assets
but there is more: What about the divorce settlement?..What about legal fees?..Not just for himself, but
for his .."children"?..
...Maybe a "book", but who will buy that book which is full of more lies?..I don't think that Trump has a
"a clue" as to what is coming.. Speaking fees? Maybe, but will those cover the afore mentioned
expenses?
......... And what about the money he owes?????? that is coming due?

...........Yes, there is only one way to escape this....leaving the U.S.A. and going to where????

.........Well we all know...where, but will he do that?..
____________________________________________________________________________________

...............Yes...I agree with ..Jon King who posted the above...While I was thinking about this,
Jon King posted the exact same idea....Oh Well......back to the
........................ ............................................ ....................................

[sarisataka]

30. I assumed he wasn't leaving

Because it isn't January 20th yet

[obamanut2012]

31. Ummmm he has been fired by The People, he isn't being "forced" out

wtf

[ooky]

32. He's thinking about where he is going to run to to avoid paying for his crimes that he can no

longer hide in the White House from. Maybe Putin already decided he's useless and told him to fuck off, so he's thinking about moving from the White House to the Big House.

[Stuart G]

34. Yes...., Where will he hide?... 4 Words + 4

[Cartaphelius]

38. He will continue to inhabit

the White House until such time as he is physically REMOVED.

His refusal to accept Mr. Biden's election as fact, while continuing
to run-out-the-clock hoping America is asleep on January 20, 2021.

THAT, is just how criminal and ignorant this Whore-town graduate is.
Proving just how little the moron actually learned.

Whereas the real Wharton should repossess the diploma awarded to
this loser and then publicly publish his grades as well as attendance
record, including Golf Outings frequented.

[Dem2]

40. He's still got about 2 months left

He'll leave when he's required to leave.

[robbob]

41. I believe the GOP plan is to go along with this charade

until the Georgia run off elections are held. Keep the base fired up, pretend that the Georgia election is somehow linked to tRump holding on to the office (a complete fantasy, but these are MAGATS we are talking about), then as soon as those races are resolved they will be free to acknowledge Biden as president elect.

National security and pandemic be damned, Mitch and the gang are ONLY concerned about holding on to power.

[Viz]

42. Glenn Kirchner suggestion which I hope is underway

Time to test the OLC memo that says sitting Presidents can not be indicted:
NY AG could quickly test that memo in the courts with a quick indictment just
on the paying off of women prior to the 2016 election- the crime that Cohen
is serving time and Trump is currently un indicted but clearly ordered the payment.
This would solve the validity of that OLC memo so it does not cause any issues in
the future.

[barbtries]

43. he's also staring financial ruin in the face.

he's grifting like crazy during this time.

[C Moon]

45. It's when. There's no more if.

[Cha]

53. Oh, trump will Leave one way or

another.

That seems to be why he doesn't want to leave... he should have thought of that 4 years ago when he started Fucking up America and the World.

[OneGrassRoot]

54. I've been saying it for four years...

and realize I'm shouting into a void, but SOMEONE NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING!!!

It's stunning the blatant criminality and corruption coming out of this administration, and it seems to have accelerated in the last few weeks.

I can't imagine the new AG NOT going after people in this administration. Otherwise, this shit is normalized and most politicians will be tempted to do sketchy shit in the future if people aren't held accountable now.

Please, please tell me someone reliable you follow is saying Trump and his minions will be charged with crimes. SOON.
