“If Trump had cleaned the swamp, this nonsense would not be going on”.

You either don’t understand what Trump was up against 24/7/365, or you think he had a magic wand.

For what he had to contend with, he did a hell of a job.

” He didn’t do any of that the first time he got elected.”

I absolutely agree. I think Trump is among the most kind and decent-hearted people you would ever meet, bar none. When he responded to chants of “Lock her up!!” after the 2016 election, Trump responded that no, the campaign was over and time to get to work and to leave the vitriol of the campaign trail be.

It was a disappointment to me personally, but was a sign of Trump’s strength and decency.

There will be no such sentiments from Trump after his 3rd election victory, it will be Katy bar the door on steroids.

Apparently Merchan can't send Trump to prison immediately. There would have to be a sentencing hearing first and some time will elapse. Joe Biden may be counting on Trump being in prison before the June 27 date set for the first debate, but even if it takes longer, he gets the honor of being the first President in over 100 years to send a rival Presidential candidate to prison.

Woodrow Wilson saw to it that Eugene Debs was imprisoned...but Wilson failed to win the Democrats' nomination in 1920 because of his stroke. He wanted another term.

My guess is that Trump will be convicted. He will file an appeal that will eventually be heard by the SC. The attempts to force Alito and Thomas to recuse are at a fever pitch. After Trump wins the election, the Democrats will insist that he not take office until after the SC rules.

Regardless of how the SC rules if Trump’s constitutional rights have been violated, I fail to see how any of this will keep DJT from becoming president again.

I disagree. You’re expecting the dimocrats and merchan to follow rules set down by law. Merchan is the reincarnation of Judge Roy Bean, he makes it up as he goes along, literally.

Merchan is going full speed ahead with a “fair trial after which their’ll be a fair hanging”.

Exactly, yet many here fully support and will reelect the clowns of the GOPe

Ryan Bort and Asawin Suebsaeng, a pair of lying Democrat creeps who write fiction for the disgraced Rolling Stone.

Man-up people, either way.

Eg. “Free Trump, Free Our Country”

“Free for Donald, Freedom “

“Don the Baptist, Washing Your hands?”

Flags, banners, shirts, truck flags

“Voting Trump, Political Prisoner”

“Trump, NOT GUILTY, We the People!!”

“WE THE People, Trump, NOT Guilty”

“We the People, Voting the Donald!!”

... Just for starters only....

Trump should read excerpts of Ashley Biden’s diary at the debate.

“Revenge is a waste of time, and it looks personal.”

Horseshiite

It’s not revenge. It’s Retribution.
Those that did need to pay.

It’s not a waste of time. Some need to learn a lesson.
Others will learn from that as well.

It is personal, for every citizen in this country.
If you’re not offended by what has happened, you are part of the problem.

and it’s gonna be Epic!

“Revenge is a waste of time, and it looks personal.

Systemic reform is where we ought to focus…”

Justice isn’t t revenge. If the law was violated PROSECUTE PROSECUTE PROSECUTE. The only way anyone’s gonna learn that you don’t wipe your ass with the constitution is if they suffer and suffer terribly for it. This is an ounce of prevention.

I would lose no sleep seeing very bad things befall everyone on that list (and many more). However as soon as PDJT takes office again the Ds will be watching for retribution activity concerning these lefties. Should any of those a$$wholes develop so much as a hangnail the lawsuits will fill the courts.

So while bad things happening is a good thing, these ‘accidents’ need to be subtle. Bad wiring in a vacation home causing it to burn to the ground. Failed brakes on a full cement truck causing someone’s new Mercedes to be totaled. Credit card cancelled at Christmas shopping time. Heap mountains of inconvenience and financial catastrophes upon them and maybe a few will join the Darwin Award winners.
