    It sounds like he’s gonna get hit with RICO.

    Alexa, order more popcorn.

        RICO is an acronym that stands for Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations. It’s used for organized crime. The short of it is it allows prosecutors to add to enhanced penalties.

    His lead over Republican presidential rivals has widened since the New York charges were filed in April, according to Reuters/Ipsos polling. But in a July Reuters/Ipsos poll, 37% of independents said the criminal cases made them less likely to vote for him, compared to 8% who said they were more likely to do so

    How can someone see Trump been charged again and again, as something that makes him more compelling to vote for. I know the Republicans have put their egg in that basket(case), but as an independent, seeing all those charges, and think “Well, that works for me!” I don’t get it…

      They think criminal charges means he’s pissing off liberals instead of… You know… Being a criminal.

    The most deliscious thing (and worrying if I’m being honest) about all of this is that his biggest cheerleader, Magic The Gathering Majorie, is a representative of Georgia. Either this all happens under her watch and she’s powerless to “take the heat off a guy” or she will pull every favor she can in her own state to reduce anything she can for him.

    I forsee not only there to be many hiccups, but maybe even Watergate type charges for her office for meddling with the courthouse itself to try and fuck with the system. I would like to be wrong but this is a case that brings, perhaps not the actual charge but the spirit of, treasonous behavior. Anyone willing to end the democratic way of doing things for a dictator, will absolutely come to bat if it fails to try again.

      Trump is fucked

      Super fucked. And the Repubs are anchored to him. Lets keep it that way for a couple decades.

      Homie was charged under the Espionage Act. Not in GA, that’s Jack Smith’s case. You think they’ll let him just chill out at mar-a-fucko for the rest of his days? Where any foreign operative has access?
