(130,418 posts)I'd be disappointed, of course; but it wouldn't change my own life appreciably. I am confident that he will be charged, though, so I'm not fretting about it.

(5,480 posts)Like the house gop said last month.... "Kanye. Elon. Trump."
The only way he doesn't get indicted is due to GOP protection. I'll take 5S/30H seats, USSC expansion, and the 2024 presidency in exchange for Trump pooping his pants at MAL without an ankle monitor.

I guess I'll also be deciding how to spend the money I'll win on a bet about this.

(1,789 posts)Use the "It's mine" defense at trials for theft? Ignore summons to appear at trial, then appeal up to the Supreme Court when convicted in absentia? I don't think so. The justice system that we think exists will still exist for regular schmucks.

If Trump is not convicted the rule of law means nothing
.
2016 was the start for me.
Made plans to leave then.
I am 69 today and I miss my family.
I am hopeful for this country but if the voters do not wake up I do not want to be here.
I am sitting in front of my wood burning stove on a cold rainy day making chicken stew.
I am just trying to be at peace.

(5,455 posts)Im off to Europe if America allows a heinous criminal to get away with such blatant crimes. Not a place I want to spend my life in. Maybe Dump will end up in prison where he belongs. That is the only result I see as acceptable. Good luck to you.

(2,962 posts)The same for you.
I have a Granddaughter coming around Christmas.
A born Canadian.
It is cozy, nothing like a wood burning stove .
It is raining about 45 degrees.
Stew weather.

Hopefully, I'll be saying, "How wrong I was."

(4,672 posts)Surprised,,,no. Disappointed,,,well fuck yes. At that point an argument can easily be made that the rule of law has seen in part at least, it's end, at which point relocating becomes a viable option for us.
Will the DOJ charge tfg's minions at the senior level to maintain the appearance of the rule of law? Don't know. I would think this would be the starting place for the DOJ. A minimum maybe.
I have 3 kids all child bearing age and I can't in good conscience justify to them, that if you are the President of the United states that the rule of law does not rule you. As i understand it we have founding documents that are there in part to address this.
I have been on the planet for some time and I don't kid myself that the halls of power are filled with some who take advantage of this power in illegal ways. At least there is a chance to be caught and charged. I hope all felonies by these fucks would be punished. Some get away with it. We have all see with our own eyes what tfg has gotten away with. The rest of the world has seen with their own eyes what the former guy has gotten away with.
Disappointed somehow just doesn't cut it for me and maybe,,, will have unforeseen ramifications more globally.
Q: What will I do if tfg is never charged? Leaning toward becoming an ex-pat, but, it's early times (in a way)
