I'm sick of people wishing Trump would die.

I don't want him to die, ... yet. I want the orange fuck locked up and broke. Then he can die.

If he dies before being prosecuted, nothing gets resolved. We need to lock him the fuck up to save this democracy.

Dying would be too good for the traitor. He needs to be made an example of.

How many crimes has TFG committed in the last 7 years? How many has he committed during his entire miserable life?

I'll believe that he'll suffer consequences, when I see some indictments, and not before. ANY other individual would have already, so until this point, he's above the law.

He hasn't been charged with so much as a misdemeanor.

I was charged with one 34 years ago, and had to enter a plea in court for possession of about an 1/8th of marijuana here in CA. I have more on my record than he does, but I guess that's because I'm not above the law.

Fact is, 22 months after January 6, 21 months after he stole Government documents, there is not a single charge against him.

If it ever happens, I'll say that I was wrong, and Grossly underestimated Mr. Garland. For now though, he's lived his entire life being unaccountable.

How long can people keep saying that a lack of action, doesn't mean there won't be any action? At what point does a lack of action mean that there's a lack of action, end of story?

I would love to see him drawn and quartered....the good, old fashioned way. Go medieval on his fat, white ass! He must suffer the pain of the hundreds of thousands he murdered with his policies, especially Covid. I want slow, tortuous agony and I want to be the person cheering in the front row as it happens, like in the old Roman Colosseum days. Of course my sister and I would have to fight over who gets the best seat to watch. She's older so she will probably be the lucky one. We fantasize about tRump and McConnell dying.

When his consequences hit him so hard he is broke and no one will take his calls or listen to his rants.

When family and friends turn away and refuse to listen.

When people on the street walk the other way and flip him off as an after thought.

Yeah, when he has THE BEST Cardboard BOX in the homeless encampment and wakes up in the morning to find everyone moved away due to the stink of his presence.

Yah. Like that?

KNOWING that he can't sleep, is nervous (Per his niece), is having to use bigger diapers because he has a sick stomach, knowing that HIS treasonous, putin-loving ass feels the noose tightening around his fat, red neck, and that the heat is melting his diaper from the back side

He's visibly becoming more and more UNHINGED .... that's a sign of being panicked, worried, and scared

or hear his voice or read about him any more. Ideally, he'd be prosecuted, imprisoned, and then dead; but more than anything I just want him to go the fuck away. Incarceration, alien abduction, exile, death, whatever. Any of those outcomes works for me.

Even convicted he is a martyr.

I just want nature to take its course and remove him. Natural causes of course.

He’s a once in a lifetime craven and apparently charismatic to some force that will hopefully disappear with him.

Desantis is a thug and a bully and a fascist but he doesn’t have the same showmanship skills and/or the ability to delude himself like trump.

Trump is a bald faced liar without an once of shame. He’s way more dangerous than anyone out there - a good myocardial infarction would go a long way toward healing this country.

the appearance of the rule of law. It is most important IMO that people believe that ROL exists regardless of inconsistencies in it's application.

TFG has gone so far in his malfeasance that norms have been compromised and without his paying for this with conviction I believe as a country, we my very well be in a new place. A scarier place. A more lawless place.
