Mike Dawson: I think so... all else aside, don't we all really want to see Donald Trump spending the rest of his life sitting in court and/or in prison?

If Biden loses in Nov, well, that’s a disaster for everybody, but not especially for Joe Biden, he’ll be okay (unless revenge indictments start flying) but if Trump loses, that’s 100% absolutely a massive catastrophic personal tragedy for him, and I really hope you all join me in making that happen

An underrated possible future is that in a few months time Donald Trump loses the election and then spends the rest of his life in court and in jail for his many crimes. Like, this could definitely be how things go

This is the absolute best way to get people voting for Biden

I think so... all else aside, don't we all really want to see Donald Trump spending the rest of his life sitting in court and/or in prison?

I feel like the Democrats won't do anything unless he breaks the law again, but the idea that the people he owes money to, might stop being patient when he has no power - I think that is more likely and painful.

There are already 3 indictments against him outstanding. If he becomes President he can get them dismissed, if he loses the election then he spends the next however many years fighting them in court and/or imprisoned.

my tired depressed feeling is democrats will be like "well we can't be seen punishing him" while the republican administration is like "can't wait to bounce these fuckers into our kangaroo courts"

Replace "bounce fuckers into kangaroo courts" to "Line these up without trial and shoot them in the head and dump them in a ditch" and that is, unfortunately, FAR more accurate for a fair portion of Christian Nationalists And no, we can't fuck it up like we fucked it up with Nixon (or Jeff Davis)

I can’t see any situation where there’s enough will to pursue them before the election (as tepidly as they have been), but somehow not enough after the election, after any threat of retribution from an elected Trump is gone.

I don’t think that’s how Biden operates. There are going to be very annoying pundits and worriers telling him not to further pursue charges if Trump loses. But he personally loathes Trump, holds grudges, and recognizes the threat, and I think he’ll ignore the naysayers and keep at the prosecution.

That's not how he operates either. He lets the Justice Department do its thing and he doesn't interfere.

Keep at the letting the Justice Department do their thing, then, and not go all Gerald Ford on the situation.

What even makes you feel that way given the *several* court cases against him

He hasn't learned the lesson Alex Jones has. He's still being treated with respect and has yet to be abandoned.

It's been a long eight years. We deserve this.

Looking at the state of Trump, "the rest of his life" may not be a tremendously long duration in the grand scheme of things. (I'm just *observing* that is not a threat, for the record.)

Yeah, we all said that in 2015 too.
