They all know who Trump is - he's been transparent about it since day one.

when we get Trump to court, he loses. he doesn't even try to hide his guilt.

Read the post I did about Fani Willis, the only reason that Fani hired her supposed lover was because she asked 2 otrher prosecutors and they turned her down because they are afraid of Trump.

When are people going to get Trump's strategy?

Right now judge Engeron is debating how much to penalize Trump and people should be very well aware that damn tootin he is considering the death threats he will get.

People fear Trump, that is his strategy.

Next he'll be asking for more time to negotiate a plea bargain like George Santos.

Trump obviously had it all planned out ahead of time. He seem quite experienced.

He goes to an upscale department store when it's not crowded, goes to the women's section.
Approaches an attractive blonde woman with a concocted story about buying a dress for his wife or girlfriend and will
she try the dress on so he can see what it looks like.

Once he gets her in the dressing room he rapes her.

Walks away, no one sees him, no witnesses, perfect crime.
And he can always say it was consensual. It's her word against his.

and who among us hasn't raped someone in a department store change room?

I don't even go in those places by myself, then again, it's just Penny's.

there was even a witness for at least one of them.

Later one of the girls sued, but she got so many death threats she backed out.

The other girl just disappeared.

Donald Trump is an evil man.

When they attacked Clinton, they were attacking him for an event that wasn't forced. Not happy about Clinton's behavior, it cost us a lot, but it was not Rape. The news coverage on this never stopped.
Now we have a serial rapist and sexual abuser running for a second term after having committed treason. By his legal arguments, he has admitted to violating the constitution. Wow.

...and I remember that we "Xennials" were constantly being lectured about Clinton being unfit to serve because of his infidelity. It wasn't just Rs in Congress, it was the so-called Christian leaders like James Dobson and Pat Robertson. I was young enough and naive enough to think that morals actually mattered to them.

Two decades later, when the infamous Access Hollywood tape dropped and they all not only made excuses for him but endorsed him, I realized that it was actually one letter that made all the difference - D or R. That was the beginning of the end of trusting ANYTHING the "Religious Right" had to say.

Then, when he implodes, this "phenomenal magnetism" takes enough of the GOP along with him to defuse them for a decade or so. Maybe we could plant a blue dye bomb on him, like banks use to deter cash theft cash, so we could identify the crazies when they infiltrate future elections as candidates.

I know it's difficult to imagine now, but that's a realistic possibility, except for the blue dye bomb part. That would have to be orange.
