At this point, the earliest I see TIFG paying for his crimes is 2026, if the election is fair and he loses.
Or maybe never.
All this talk of likely arguments is only going to give him and his team an opportunity to further stall the process. It’s worked for them so far.

Conservatives benefit from an ‘asymmetry of interest’. Liberals and progressives are basically totally uninterested in conservatives and what they do (they find them boring…). On the other hand, conservatives are obsessed by the actions and pronouncements of liberals and progressives. This creates a huge imbalance in the energy expended in various political battles.

Isn’t this a page from England’s playbook? Except it was Rwanda and not the Congo. Rwanda was never colonized by Britain, but was admitted to the Commonwealth in 2009.
So what relationship does Israel have with the Congo, or even Palestine?

Americans keep disappointing me, not only there are tens of millions of MAGA morons, but then there is also this kind…
“A Republican getting elected isn’t the end. It is the beginning of a much larger fight,” a 23-year-old Wisconsin Starbucks worker and union organizer who is considering withholding his vote from Biden told NBC News. “I want to show the Democratic Party as a young person that you still need to earn our vote and if you don’t, the consequences will be your career.”
Teach Democrats a lesson by electing a democracy-destroying authoritarian?

he appears to have used federal prison guards to intimidate his former lawyer, Michael Cohen, jailing and silencing him in 2020 ahead of his tell-all memoir about the billionaire’s mob-like behavior.
is 45-91 close to the ‘horse’s head in the bed’ method of speaking to his detractors? I’m sure it wouldn’t hurt him with his base.

The most conservative appeals court in the country
Since when did the definition of “conservative” become “lunatic?”

Trump will get his just rewards f America musters up the courage to be American. If BLM charged the Capitol there would be no debate about their guilt. In America there should not be. Chelsea Manning and Snowden went down quick for improper handling of classified information. As they should have in America.
If Trump walks the USA flops. Hope folks see it that way quick.

So, these people will go from being refugees in Gaza (and soon, one presumes in the West Bank) to being re-refugees in Egypt. Or maybe, it appears in Saudi. Or maybe Qatar–they seem to have a lot of money to throw around. Why not Yemen? We’re fixing to get rid of a bunch of Houthis, that will leave room in Yemen.
Funny, I’ve known several Palestinians when I was a grad student and later on the university faculty. None of them resembled footballs at all…but they sure seem to get kicked around a lot.

I hope you are right, but then there is the Abcarian article above that says even the young are getting swayed away from the Dems. I don’t know how loud the claxton of danger has to sound before many of the American people understand what may be about to happen.
