      Be careful what you wish for.
      Some other extreme right-wing nutjob was imprisoned after a failed ‘coup’ about 100 years ago.

      That gave him a whole load of martyr rhetoric to play off.

          He didn’t write shit, he dictated it to Hess. And it is a rambling mess.

          If Trump decided to dictate a book to Guilani in jail it would probably have a lot in common with Mein Kampf.

            You got me, I’ve never read it or even recall any excerpts from it, I just assume that he must have been more intelligent than Trump.

          Trump has never written a book. He paid other people to write books and slap his name on the cover. I doubt he’s even read the books he claims to have written.

        If he isn’t pardoned I think he will spend the rest of his life on house arrest or in prison. These charges are serious, there’s undeniable evidence, and there’s about to be multiple venues so he can’t rely on a judge helping him in every case. Without a pardon his best outcome is being in a mar a lago prison until he dies.

        But he’s likely to get a pardon before then.

          Hes gonna get a sweetheart plee deal where hes inelligeble to run for office, payd a big fine, and never sees prison. The US already has displayed is had no idea how to punish people like him. They straight up dropped the chages on Matt Gaetz for diddling children, I have no hope for anything real happening to Trump.

          Federal pardons issued by the president apply only to federal offenses; they do not apply to state or local offenses or private civil offenses. Federal pardons also do not apply to cases of impeachment. Pardons for state crimes are handled by governors or a state pardon board.

            State charges don’t and will never affect presidents while they are in office. Alabama can’t just issue an arrest warrant for Biden. They would if they could. NY and/or GA state will have to wait until after he’s out of office to continue its judicial outcomes, if he wins.

            And no senate is going to impeach trump as long as there is a Republican Party.
