“Florida Man With 91 Felony Charges Worried He Might Serve Prison Time.”
“Several millions of Americans worried he won’t”
I hope it’s a few more than several…
To be fair, we’re also worried that, if he does, his followers will go violent again. Not that this is a reason to excuse him him prison. It just means that it might not be all rainbows and puppies if Trump goes to prison. Our celebrations might be interrupted by home grown right wing terrorist attacks.

Only 91? Shit. AZ state and NJ federal indictments need to get here soon.
Is the NJ federal case about him stealing documents as well?
The audio recording of him allegedly showing off classified docs and admitting he hadn’t declassified them took place in New Jersey.
Damn I thought that happened at mierda loco.
Many of us fret he won’t.
I was solidly in that boat for a while too, but seeing how many of his co-conspirators are tripping over themselves to testify against him lately gives me hope.
That’s the problem with surrounding yourself with shady people who only have their own interests in mind. They’re not loyal to him, he only kept them around because they told him what he wanted to hear, and they only told him what he wanted to hear because it helped them advance their own personal interests.
I’ll believe it when I see it. We will never see him behind bars. Two tiered justice system.
Absolute best case is house arrest imo, and I’m sure his lawyers will make sure it includes the entirety of his resort, so basically nothing will change
I’d love to be wrong, but I don’t think I will
This is my hope as well. At least he can’t hold hitler style rallies if he’s confined to the resort though.
There’s a lot of space at that resort for guests. I’d bet he’d set up stadium seating and sell tickets to his regular “Rallies” which MAGA types would absolutely flock too like it’s the new Disneyland. Gross.
The orange gusher would spew crap daily at noon, more reliably than Old Faithful. It’s be quite the sight.
This just made me think of a Trump animatronic in the hall of presidents 🤣
I totally agree.
He won’t go and both sides don’t want him to go. It sets a presidence that they the rich ruling class is weak to the rules.

Nah, if you think, say, AOC or Bernie Sanders wouldn’t love to see the door slam behind 45, I think you’re mistaken.

Not say there aren’t people in power who wouldn’t be ok with, I’m saying the majority don’t… otherwise more ruling class would have been in jail and Epstein wouldn’t have been murdered in his cell.
My hope is that he lives for another 5 or 10 years in solitary confinement.
he probably wouldn’t last a year in solitary.
Solitary confinement isn’t really solitary most of the time. It’s far less pitch black rooms with a slat you slide a tray of slop into, and more of a lights always on, talking to your neighbor through the vents/shouting chess moves at each other.
Not that it isn’t inhumane in its own way, but many people seem to think that you’re basically sensory deprived and that’s just not the case.
I mean, what would like to see- which probably is cruel an unusual, but I can be like that sometimes- is trump given a news feed and maybe social media, but he can’t respond/post. he just gets to passively watch as the world moves on and forgets about him.
I would love for Trump to live to 120 with a totally sound mind and experience total irrelevance. That would be wonderful punishment. In a cell would be great, but I’d settle for him to be alone in a cheap motel room with cable TV.
I’ve been saying just that for years. It’s the only thing that fits, total destruction of his towering self image.
but only ‘woke’ news, not the cooker shit he consumes
naw. all of it. together. So he can see the slow slide to irrelevance.
And that’s just the thing. The more the news moves on from Trump and talks about other people, the more Trump would label it as woke/liberal/socialist. FOX News could, five years post-Trump-imprisonment, spend all their time on the important right wing subjects of the day and Trump would think they’ve gone lefty because they weren’t talking about him.
We can still hope
“When you guys put somebody in the car and you’re protecting their head, you know, the way you put their hand over?” Trump said, miming the physical motion of an officer shielding a suspect’s head to keep it from bumping against the squad car. “Like, don’t hit their head, and they just killed somebody — don’t hit their head,” Trump continued. “I said, you can take the hand away, okay?”
I hope the prison guards remember this, it’s only fair.
I don’t understand the implication O:
I believe the term is known as “shitting bricks”

Sorry…shittin’ rocks.
I get this reference.
Nobody cares, Thomas
I predicted he would die in prison when he clinched the GOP nomination in 2016- there was no way, I decided, he wouldn’t abuse his office and break a shitload of laws. The last 6 years has been a rude reminder that I seem to have wildly overestimated the capacity and will of America’s political and law enforcement establishments to hold anyone like him accountable for even the kinds of crimes he’s confessed to on the record.
See, I very naively thought that it would end with his impeachment. Like, I wasn’t surprised by the law breaking, but I figured that he’d be ousted by a simpler thing like emoluments or something. Oh to be young again…
And the thing was the GOP establishment could have just let him hang himself. They hate that they’ve become a personality cult, but it’s their own fucking fault for propping this guy up.
That’s what I don’t understand. They have had so many opportunities to get rid of him. They surely know he’s going to lose the next election, I have no clue why they don’t turn on him.
They’ve allowed him to build a personality cult. If they don’t bend the knee they lose their seat in the primary.
I figure he knew where he was heading the moment he learned Hilary had conceded.
His (starving) brain worms have made an impact since then but I swear, from the look on his face, that he knew where he would end up.
The Trump team was definitely not expecting to win in 2016. Trump himself looked borderline despondent.
I think it’s important to cover his trials but I wish we’d ignore these articles which are rooted in gossip and nothing more. It’s just clickbait.
Apparently he just “ordered” congressional GOP members to shut down the government so they can’t fund the DOJ lmaooo someone is getting desperate.
It’s beautiful. Republican leadership knows they’ll get the blame if there’s a shutdown and they’re trying to avoid it, and Trump tries to muck that up.
A large portion of the Republican Reps don’t like Trump any more than the Democrats. I’m sure they are following his “orders”
Sure but they’ll still suck his dick in hopes that he ejaculates a nomination.
But for 6 years they’ve propped him up, and now they’re stuck with him. They could have let him hang himself and gotten President Pence (who the GOP would have loved) in the first year of Trump’s term, but they didn’t.
Source? I’d love to share that one in the group chat
So how does secret service work here
I assume he’d go to the lowest security safest place ever
More likely he’d go to an insanely high security place, he can’t be trusted around other people.
ADX Florence is built for exactly that kind of prisoner: spies, terrorists, etc.
I think the chances are that he’ll be on house arrest in Mar-a-lago. He deserves supermax, but when has what people deserve been relevant in the criminal “justice” system?
I feel like this might be the best case given the security requirements. Obviously, Mar-A-Lago wouldn’t be allowed to operate as a club anymore. The Federal government could take it over and turn it into Trump Prison. Nobody would be allowed in unless they were working to support Trump Prison.
Strip one bedroom down to the bare walls and put a prison cot in there. Keep the door locked from the outside with guards posted 24/7. Trump stays in there all the time except for meals and an hour of “outside time.” The room has no TV and he’s not allowed any electronics so there wouldn’t be any tweeting/“truthing”/etc from his home-turned-prison.
When he goes to eat, he’ll walk past the bare walls that used to signify that he was the King Of The Complex. Now, they’ll only signify glory days long gone. A bruise to the ego with every step. When he sits to eat, he’ll be in the same dining hall where he used to get served fabulous meals. (Or, at least, what passed for “fabulous” at Mar-A-Lago.) Instead, he’ll get standard prison food.
Even his “outside time” would be bittersweet to Trump. Instead of time outside talking with bigwigs on the way to go golfing, he’ll be shuffling around with armed guards nearby and no bigwigs to lavish praise on him.
Trump would be an empty shell of a man living in an empty shell of a club.
Grounded for life. If that were the case, I’d be okay with it for sure, fits for a big sloppy baby like him.
They’re not going to treat it like real prison for him - I’ll be surprised if he doesn’t have the run of the resort… Likely including daily golf.
I used to think that but it’s a golf resort… Maybe house arrest somewhere else?
I’ll be pleasantly surprised if he doesn’t have the run of the resort.
We need our own version of the Tower of London
I’d personally like to see him mummified in gympie gympie… Embrace his Australian roots and whatnot.
This is what I’ve always expected. He’ll live the rest of his life like an arrested drug kingpin.
I was really hoping for the presidential desk crammed in a cell. Him all dressed up like he’s still going to work every day… reduced to rubbing Cheetos on his face because he can’t get bronzer.
A boy can dream!
Good point.
I still have more faith in vigilante justice; legal just will continue to spin its wheels in the mud until he succumbs to his decades long suicide-by-cheeseburger. Our official resources have thus far proven to be less than worthless.
I’d be fucking delighted to be wrong, though!
…then again, Trump seems to be fracturing the hell out of the GOP, so keeping him as a wrench in the spokes isn’t without a silver lining, albeit unsavory.
If someone tells you they cannot let something enter their mind, that means they are thinking about it constantly.
Thoughts and prayers, 45.
What if he turns into a devout Muslim in prison?
For that to happen he’d have to be capable of worshiping something other than himself.
Shit, even if he tried to fake it; I doubt he’d be able to get up off the floor from prayer.
Nation of Islam is like “WE DO NOT ALLOW PORK TO WORSHIP”
I could see it happening tho, “I am no longer Donald Trump, I am Quarter-Pounder-with-Cheese Shabaz Mo Frommage”
but whenever anyone attempts to address him that way he looks confused.
You know what I never worry about? Going to prison. I’m able to not worry about that because I don’t go around breaking laws.
I do worry about going to jail because you can be convicted of crimes you haven’t committed. Unlikely to be Trump’s fate, but it could be mine.
Also, it’s important to remember that jail =/= prison.
Jail is where you go while awaiting trial. Prison is where you go after you’re convicted.
I’m pretty confident that I’ll never do anything serious enough to be sent to prison for. However, it’s plausible that I could be arrested for some alleged crime, held in jail for months pending trial, and then released (either after trial or when the charges were dropped).
Those months in jail would mean that I’d likely get laid off from my job and my family would need to burn through our savings. Plus, depending on how high profile the arrest is, everyone might think I was guilty no matter the outcome and refuse to hire me to another job.
The mere action of arresting someone and then dropping the charges can completely ruin someone’s life.
I wouldn’t say it’s in my top 10 worries, but it’s definitely there.
