A guy steals a pack of gum at the 7-11 and gets tackled and charged immediately. Another guy attempts to destroy our most basic constitutional rights and an entire democratic republic and he's still gonna run for POTUS?

The Jan. 6 committee has shown more than ever and more clearly that trump and his cronies have committed a record number of illegal actions. Will he be charged? Ask our DOJ--they seem to not be so inclined. I'm afraid that come 2024 trump will run again. I simply do not know why trump has never been charged with anything in his entire life. He really can do as he pleases and he always gets a pass.
My personal take is that he's enough of a (MAFIA-style) criminal that he has shit on all his opponents, and is blackmailing the shit out of them. There is actually enough crime evidence to charge, try and convict him, but the citizenry of the US has enough buttheads resisting, that it probably will never happen. More's the pity.
This abortion overturn may end up biting them in the arse next election.
I ran for county commissioner. I lost by 1779 votes. I called the county auditor and demanded he find me 1780 votes (which the rotten turd recorded) because I had obviously won an election I had obviously lost. He was a real bastard about the whole thing, and declined my request. Now the county's citizens are getting all hot and bothered over a perfect phone call.
The county attorney would have filed charges long ago, and everyone knows it.
There is more than enough to charge this seditionist with crimes. Anyone running for state or local office would have been charged long ago for strong-arm tactics.
At least Georgia is leading the way.
My name's Donald Trump and I say
I do what I want every day
I don't fear the law
It's stuck in my maw
You average folks just cannot play
Well, the Jan 6 CMTE "uncovered" pretty much many of the things we all knew happened and then some and is starting to wrap it up as I type this. If the orange combover just walks away from all this, our generation will go down in the history books as the most impotent, inept, and pathetic Americans ever.
Cassia, I agree 100%. But will this generation go down as the worst in this countries history? Nope--fraid not. Why? Because when the orange monster takes over in 2024, he will demand the history books show that this is the greatest of all generations--after all, it put him into power, and rightly so since he is the best dictator the world has ever seen.
(Is this statement a bit overblown? Yeah, I think so-I hope so. But a huge part of me is deathly afraid that it will be this way.)
The orange monster will never take over again.
My best friend of 20 years is a registered republican, and we have our disagreements, but he will never, ever vote for Trump. Another republican (wealthy farmer) said he would shoot himself in the head before voting for Trump - and that's saying something.
I truly hope the republicans run Trump again. He will be slaughtered.

That's what was said about trump in 2016--hope he runs, Hilary will mop the floor with him.
But I want to agree with you--he will be the winner in 2024 if he is not in jail, whether he runs or not.

That's the problem. The Dems need to run someone who looks good compared to Trump. They seem to be shit at doing that.
Al Franken.
