I'll believe it when I see it. We will never see him behind bars. Two tiered justice system.

My hope is that he lives for another 5 or 10 years in solitary confinement.

“When you guys put somebody in the car and you’re protecting their head, you know, the way you put their hand over?” Trump said, miming the physical motion of an officer shielding a suspect’s head to keep it from bumping against the squad car. “Like, don’t hit their head, and they just killed somebody — don’t hit their head,” Trump continued. “I said, you can take the hand away, okay?”

I hope the prison guards remember this, it's only fair.

Yes, I'm sure Rolling Stone has excellent insights into Trump's private fretting.

I believe the term is known as “shitting bricks”

I think it's important to cover his trials but I wish we'd ignore these articles which are rooted in gossip and nothing more. It's just clickbait.

“They really don’t like me, they’re mean… they’re trying to send me to prison. They’d have done it too, though.”

I predicted he would die in prison when he clinched the GOP nomination in 2016- there was no way, I decided, he wouldn't abuse his office and break a shitload of laws. The last 6 years has been a rude reminder that I seem to have wildly overestimated the capacity and will of America's political and law enforcement establishments to hold anyone like him accountable for even the kinds of crimes he's confessed to on the record.

So how does secret service work here

I assume he'd go to the lowest security safest place ever

Apparently he just "ordered" congressional GOP members to shut down the government so they can't fund the DOJ lmaooo someone is getting desperate.

If someone tells you they cannot let something enter their mind, that means they are thinking about it constantly.

Thoughts and prayers, 45.

club fed. that’s where you go when you commit federal crimes. he’ll still hate it.

What if he turns into a devout Muslim in prison?

I'm waiting for a Hallmark Channel redemption arc for him. He goes to prison, slowly befriends his fellow cell mates and empathizes with them, and emerges a changed man who gives up his fortune in order to fight the injustices against the common man.

You know what I never worry about? Going to prison. I'm able to not worry about that because I don't go around breaking laws.

The smallest but most significant joys are things like this headline

I still have more faith in vigilante justice; legal just will continue to spin its wheels in the mud until he succumbs to his decades long suicide-by-cheeseburger. Our official resources have thus far proven to be less than worthless.

I'd be fucking delighted to be wrong, though!

...then again, Trump seems to be fracturing the hell out of the GOP, so keeping him as a wrench in the spokes isn't without a silver lining, albeit unsavory.

He'll likely be playing tennis at minimum security Club Fed if it's federal, but Georgia doesn't seem to do special treatment. If he goes in on Georgia state charges, he could end up in a for real penitentiary.

Could?

could be? he's definitely going.

trump's thoughts, "Oh no! Maybe I shouldn't have done all that crime!"

This is the best summary I could come up with:

As the criminal cases against him have piled up, the former president and 2024 GOP frontrunner has wondered aloud in recent months about what life would be like if he’s convicted, and if appeals fail.

While Trump publicly professes confidence, privately, three sources familiar with his comments say, he’s been asking lawyers and other people close to him what a prison sentence would look like for a former American president.

Habba told Fox News’ Shannon Bream last month that the former president was so confident he would be vindicated that he’s not even preparing for his various trials.

One former White House official who worked on the Mueller investigation said Trump was not remotely worried about consequences from the Russia inquiry.

The closest equivalent to Trump’s legal predicament lies in the 1973 federal prosecution of Nixon Vice President Spiro Agnew on charges related to bribes from his tenure as governor of Maryland.

But as the criminal investigation of him mounted, privately “Agnew was utterly terrified of going to jail,” his biographer Charles J. Holden told Rolling Stone.
