    He hasn’t faced real consequences yet. I’ll believe it when it happens. And then actually sticks.

      I’m the same, but for the first time I’m starting to have some hope. It seems really unlikely that he’ll side step all of these charges. He’s lost on the Carroll cases, and that’s a start.

        Can’t get pardoned for state crimes by a president and it’s really hard to get pardoned at all in Georgia, so he just might be fucked. I hope.
