Also shoutout to @SayJess@lemmy.blahaj.zone who shared a gift article link in the comments. I hope you don’t mind but I kinda stole it and updated the post
While I’m extremely happy, I’m exhausted and lost all faith that he will be held accountble for anything.
He will appeal on others money and then somehow all the republicans in there twisted hate of their fellow Americans will somehow get him elected and then he will wipe all punishments for him and all his other insurrectionists. Start a civil war, destroy any progress on saving the planet start ww3 or nuclear war…
I used to be optimistic now I’m depressed as the ruling class burns us all to the ground
Hey exhausted lemming! I get you. I really do. But try and look at it this way. Two years ago I would have said he would never be charged with a crime. A year ago I would have said he’d never see a court room. And yesterday, I was convinced that one MAGA in the jury would be enough to get a hung jury. But here we are. So I’ll be very surprised if Trump sees a single day in jail, but I’ve gone from pessimistic depression to cautious optimism. I hope you get some relief, too.
The best news here is that potus can’t make this go away!
It’s doubtful he’ll go to jail ( it’s extremely rare for these kinds of charges,) but he can’t remove the felony conviction.
