because he'll play the dementia card. He and his estate will be assessed fines and penalties, but his offspring will walk awaywith their ill gotten gains.

Who will go to jail? His hired help, of course, many of his enablers and we're going to have to be happy with that.

What should happen is legislation curtailing the power of the executive, preferably by constitutional amendment, along with some teeth put into things like the emoluments clause of the constitution. We know from history and archaeology before it that these guys come along at depressingly frequent intervals.

Realize that these guys AND their lawyers are all idiots but they are able to just outwait justice. Trump was on his way to prison but because the courts took so damn long he got away with it. And that's what will happen with his sons. They'll use yhe money for delays and appeals. I think the money should be taken away so t b ey can't use it to get off.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
