The Defendant belongs in jail, but...

[kentuck]

I doubt very much that he will ever spend a night in jail anywhere, anytime.

If it got to that point, he would make a deal.

Although he belongs in jail and I would like to see him behind bars, I must be content at the moment to see him charged and arrested, with a trial date set for his crimes against our people.

More than anything, I would want every case tried in a court with a jury decision on each case. I would want to see the truth exposed to the American people, most especially those that believe the Defendant has never lied to them.

Even then, there are those that will never accept any verdict against their Leader.

As the old song goes, you can't always get what you want.

1. Many people never thought we would get this far, booking, mugshot

Especially his millions of fans, they still can’t believe it

[kentuck]

2. True.

Just think how far we have come and how long it has taken to get to this point.

Exceedingly slow.

[Pantagruel]

8. "Exceedingly slow."

Not really in terms of legal dispatch and deliberate efforts to get it irrefutably right. Failure is not an option.

[kentuck]

9. Is it a "failure" if he does not go to jail?

Even after all the deliberate efforts to do everything right?

[Pantagruel]

19. The reference

was to "failure" to secure a conviction. The chasm between jail time and a conviction is another long conversation.

[TSExile]

3. I agree with everything you said...

...and would add that each court case needs to be TELEVISED in the interest of transparency.

[kentuck]

5. I agree.

I started to edit to add that it should be televised for the whole country to see. It is important that it be televised.

4. Think you are right about jail time, but it's nice knowing that trump had to wake up yesterday

facing a long, embarassing day of having to do what others tell him. By the time he has to start showing up daily for trial, his life will definitely suck.

[MyMission]

6. He'll die before his appeals are considered

With numerous indictments and trials, he will certainly be convicted of something.
He will appeal any convictions, up the chain, and be out on bail. He's older and unhealthy and will probably die before all the appeals are adjudicated. Maybe he'll drop dead from shock and fury when he's finally sentenced.

I tend to agree with you that he won't spend a night in jail. But I can hope!

[kentuck]

7. That may be the best we can hope for.

We need to keep him occupied until he is imprisoned or until he is six feet under. He is too dangerous to ignore.

[CrispyQ]

12. He wouldn't travel with an ambulance if he wasn't very worried about his health.

In his interview with Tucker Carlson he carried on about how unfit Biden was. Remembering how Trump needed a golf cart to keep up with Merkel.

[MyMission]

15. Probably, but then again he might

To set up a medical excuse. He's a con man, and while traveling with an ambulance might make some concerned about his health, he could be using it as a prop. They can swoop in and take him to hospital, provide a medical excuse down the road.

I don't know how he's still going "strong" except he's fueled by megalomania, hate and rage. Let's keep an ambulance nearby in case I need a quick getaway.
Hadn't thought about that until you brought it up!

[CrispyQ]

10. You can lead a horse to water...

His followers are dug in & will never admit they were conned. It's a weakness to admit you were wrong or that you made a mistake. They will double down always.

[kentuck]

11. Right.

They can take him to court but they cannot guarantee they will get a conviction. Are people ready to live with that possibility?

[Arkansas Granny]

13. Like you, I doubt that jail time is in his future. If it was declared that he could never

again hold elected office, I would be OK with that. It may not be fair, but the thought of him being elected President again just makes my blood run cold.

[kentuck]

14. But, would that be justice..?

Or would that be extortion?

[Arkansas Granny]

16. It might not be justice, but I'd settle for that. The thought of 4 more years with

that orange clown "leading" our country is to frightening to contemplate.

[debm55]

17. But in a way isn't he doing that now with his Truth Social site and his rallies? I want him to pay

like any other citizen for his crimes.

[Arkansas Granny]

18. I'd like to see that too, but I'm not sure it will happen.
