He'll never pay for his crimes and he'll go to his death thinking the election was rigged and that the 'Deep State' did him in.

I would love for him to get his comeuppance, but the real world doesn't work that way unless you ran a ponzi scheme that ripped off rich people.

No, the Times alleged he ripped off the US by exploiting and cheating the tax code, rich people respect that.

As for Jr. taking over the Party if Trump dies, there is no way. They are cowardly pushovers, but they aren't rolling over for Jr. He will try, but how long can his charisma pull the cult? There will be a power vacuum and all the rats will fight it out to take over.

I don't think so. A ponzi scheme involves paying dividends off faked profits by paying early investors out from newer investors buying in. My understanding of what Trump allegedly did was undervalue assets and overvalue losses on his tax returns, while overvaluing assets and undervalue losses on bank loan docs. It seems like Deutsche Bank was in on the fraud, as they laundered 100s of millions for Trump from Russian government run banks.

If I get to pick how this thing plays out - and if 2020 has proven anything, I don't - he struggles with this thing for a while, but eventually recovers, weak and sickly.

And then he gets absofuckinglutely crushed by Biden in the election, along with the GOP losing control of the Senate.

And then, Biden doesn't go all Gerald Ford and Trump and his family are prosecuted and convicted on at least a subset of their many financial crimes.

Then, he eventually dies penniless in jail.

After seeing this:



I'd like to change my vote to 'Fucking bring it on already'.

Can there be a bigger example of his narcissism? Where the fuck was his doctor to stop this?

I've decided on this:

Miller ASAP, everyone else sticks around for an election day rout, then slowly drop, like they're getting picked off.

Today the doctor's report was just "Trump says he feels great!" versus any detailed medical analysis.
