MAGA Republicans, now predicting an imminent indictment of their Dear Leader Donald Trump, are moving the goalposts and insisting the disgraced ex-president can still run for president from prison. Tennessee Brando reacts.

1. Would be political theater at it's finest.

Lets see what happens. I'm betting nothing. People know Trump.

2. I think Edgar Alan Poe

Could work his magic with this story line. Imagine the tragic ending. Like Napoleon on Elba. Capone on Alcatraz. The Fall of the House of Donald. Imagine the tragic ending as I repeat myself.

4. What I want to know is why?

What motivated Trump to run? Was being a self-absorbed person enough to compel him to run? Nope, something else, something he'd never want released. Kompromat.

7. Putin gave him the plan

You run for President. We will use Facebook to help you win. Your Republican buddies pounce on the dem nominee. Your supporters are too easy to manipulate and so we will. You win the race and get your country’s secrets to me. Or else. I know you understand Donald.

Russian leaders have said for more then 70 years, we will destroy you without firing a shot. Russian leaders only dreamt of todays gop.

5. It depends on his conviction.

One or more of the laws he has broken carries with it a ban from running for any office.

6. That's what I thought - and am hoping for.

9. His cabinet will be right at home having meetings in a prison.

10. That depends on what he was convicted for.

Of course, if Trump is imprisoned, the far right will do their best to make subsequent elections impossible to carry out.

Trump is just one man, he is both vulnerable and mortal. It is his fanatic support system that is being allowed to recruit and grow that will be the end of Democracy. There are millions of armed Americans that have been preparing for years to "take back their county" and "Make America Great Again." They are perfectly willing to kill you and your families if they think that they could escape justice. Many of them just need a word from their god and savior, Donald J. Trump. That is the reason that Trump needs to be jailed and muzzled. If we fail to jail Trump, then we fail as a Democracy. The choice is still ours, but perhaps not for long.

Today, our police forces deal with the armed fanatical right with a smile and a nod. Many times the police are either members, or silent supporters, of the right-wing militia types. We are more interested in protecting the right's ability to bear arms, than to protect Democracy. We should be rooting the seditionists out and rendering them impotent by whatever means necessary. There is a reason that Republicans have been fighting, and winning, the battle to get more guns onto the streets and in the hands of younger people. (Recent ruling affecting Texans) They are supporting the recruitment and arming of a "Brown Shirt" army.

Sooner or later we are going to have to deal with militia types and that will not come without costs; the sooner we do, the less blood will be shed. Root them out, disarm them and prosecute them. If they put up a fight, destroy them in place. We are at war for the survival of Democracy, it is time for us to start acting like it.
