Just from what we’ve seen of the current SCOTUS, I expect them to R@+ fu<k the Constitution yet again. Time to get more clever.

So… having paid for that “War Room” at the Warwick with campaign funds is going to turn out to be problematic. I mean, I’m no lawyer, but I don’t think “Campaign Privilege” is a thing.

To @fiftygigs 's point, we need to give Our Beloved Dear, Supreme, Orange, Personality Disorder, and Diaper Stain for Life, a fair trial, and then hang him.

There are recent examples where getting to the right decision proved more important than the partisanship of the justices. I have no expectations, just hope. I’m trying not to get depressed.

It’s true that a trial is kind of a waste of time if he’s already dead. To your bigger point, there are other ways to nail this SOB, even if the court indulges him on this. He can’t hide all the evidence behind a bogus privilege claim.

So the known criminal X-“president” is once again trying to secure a “pass” for himself. So when is this motherf*ker going to be arrested and jailed with NO bail? That should have happened months ago.

We need to stick a stake in the heart of the current republican party.

What? There is no heart? Okay, the ass works.

Didn’t you hear about the big win by Republicans last night. That means that Congress should stop the witch hunt against the former president and his aides, who by the way had an election stolen from him.

If he wins, Joe Biden should be dictator.

Wouldn’t the legislative purpose be to find out how deep the rot went and make laws ensuring shit like dumspter, republican or democrat, never happen again?
