(4,006 posts)channel. Even as we pursue his jailing, that could take years and even with guilty verdicts, appeals may keep him in the public eye for a long time thereafter. The CNN link is worth a read btw:

Still, if he trumpets what we think, it could all backfire badly not on him but the Republiscum Party. On his loss and that of the Senate majority, the leading R-Scums will run like the devil to separate from him. Good luck with that as Trumpy will remind everyone every single day by his weird lies that he was and still is their standard bearer until he dies.
This could be really good for us as I have no doubt there will be an effort to draft him in a third party bid (as even brain-dead Republiscum leadership will never want him again). And the more they try to ignore Trumpyboy, the more he'll push to get himself or more likely one of his kids into high office. Splitting the vote to maybe 25% of the voting public with the R-Scums will kill any chances for years that they retake the House, Senate or Presidency.
