I hate to be the one to say this... [View all]

But once Trump is kicked to the curb, I seriously doubt that he’ll see a day behind bars.

Whether he’ll go into exile or will face prosecution for his crimes, I doubt that he’ll see the inside of a prison.

His kids? Oh... They’re all hosed, but Trump himself, there’s a handful of reasons why he won’t wear an orange jumpsuit.

I would love to see him perpwalked into a federal pokey some day, but I’m not holding my breath that it will ever happen.

This is America, and mediocre white men with money, influence and positional power all benefit from a system of so-called justice that goes out of its way to work in their behalf.
