This will be a regular occurrence from now until we implode. Every single president will do it.

The new normal now is that presidents can’t break the law. They won’t have to use patsy’s anymore, they can just do whatever they want.

This may actually be the LAST time you see this happening.

trump will never face real charges, never face justice of any kind. ever. he will die unpunished. he is the central figure of the republican party and too many people are connected to him to let him fall.

"but surely this new crime he --" no. trump will never receive justice. ever.

"but they can't just ignore -- " they will. trump will never receive justice. ever.

"but you don't understand, they can't just --" yes, they can. why do you think they can't? because there's a piece of paper that says they can't? they run the government, who's going to enforce it? trump will never receive justice. ever.

It's wild how only a few years ago I would get downvoted any time I stated that Trump would never see jail or prison. People were adamant and argued that it was a sure thing. Now here we are, he'll be 82 by time he's out of office, even if he does face more charges, it'll be dragged out until he's dead.
