I get how people can become so movie-brained that they’re incapable to see politics as anything but the most conventional, simplistic drama production, but even then, this is just the equivalent of believing that Team Rocket will finally steal Ash’s Pikachu this week. If you live in a society of the spectacle, at least be genre-savvy.
My friend sends me up to the minute updates whenever he’s in court and it’s fucking exhausting. I don’t have the heart to tell her that it’s highly unlikely that even if he is convicted for refusing to hand over classified documents that he’ll actually face real consequences.
glassdoor is bullshit do not trust it
I love when company reviews are all either negative or written entirely in HR-speak lol
Zeno’s Trump Conviction
I don’t want to pull a “Let’s see Donny Trump wriggle etc,” but these last two indictments are actually pretty serious. I’m not saying he’s definitely going down, but it’s possible.
The indictment over the classified documents is much stronger than this new 1/6 one. The former is pretty straightforward, he took documents he wasn’t supposed to and didn’t give them back when requested. Whereas the 1/6 accusation is a lot more subjective, a lot easier to make first amendment defenses, i.e. if the prosecution’s argument is based primarily on Trump spreading “misinformation” that’s not going to hold water.
the nothing will ever happen to Trump people move the goal posts so far that “literally getting indicted on 100 felonies” somehow doesn’t count. Like geez, he lost the election as an incumbent and is now facing a life sentence, seems like his wriggling streak came to end to me 🤷🏽♂️
“Nothing will ever happen to Trump” = “Trump will not spend a day in general population.” No one except for credulous libs gives a shit whether he’s convicted of a crime if he doesn’t actually serve the time. Trump being found guilty but being able to dodge jail time because of his old age or due to some weird administrative kerfuffle that only ends when Trump dies choking on a Big Mac still counts as wiggling out of this jam.
If nothing else, his Secret Service detail will just say “uh we can’t do our job to protect President Trump if he’s locked up in this facility, but we can do our job if he’s locked up here” and it turns out “here” is just one of his mansions. The SS is firmly on Team Trump. Some of them were even involved in 1/6 and I suspect the constant leaks of Biden’s dogs biting the SS is them showing their displeasure in Biden, who apparently doesn’t even trust some of them.
Trump will not spend a day in general population. He will continue to wiggle out of jams.
