    He’s a criminal in a corner about to face consequences. He can either accept the fate of his decisions like a responsible adult, or he can do the most unhinged illegal shit you can imagine to try to avoid them.

    Which one do you think he’ll do?

        I think anyone who could cause him trouble would want to avoid any potential uproar from Trump fanatics and gamble on the problem solving itself due to his age. They just need to veeeery slowly investigate and hint at some prosecution to keep face.

      I never considered that he would be one of those people who ultimately flees the country. That would be pretty wild. I just assumed he would die before he can be held accountable.

      You might be overstating things.

      They might lose some seats but not enough to put Trump in trouble.

        If Democrats take the house they can start numerous investigations that will make Trump’s life hell. He has done many illegal things so the rest of his presidency will be in court. People that don’t have presidential immunity will go to jail.

        The alternative is escalating the war or a false flag sort of operation that gives him an opportunity to try to institute martial law. My money is on this.

        We’ll see probably in a few weeks how this is all going to play out. He has options due to his position, the risk he’s put himself in and lack of morals

        Rich people tend to control everything though so you might be correct.

          Sorry I just don’t have any faith that the dems will do that or that courts will apply the law.

            Totally fair. They are largely incompetent and/or in bed with aipac too. God help us. But I need some modicum of hope.

        There are unfortunately plenty of turncoat democrats in both houses ready to prevent anything meaningful from happening even if Democrats win nominal control. Still better than nothing, though, so vote.
