  Nice
context: Would it be poetic justice, karma or serendipity if Trump was indicted by the DOJ on January 6, 2023? Regardless of the date it actually occurs, some form of indictment and prosecution is needed, for him and all that enabled his misdeeds. >
  
  Call me when he's in an orange jumpsuit picking up trash by the side of the road on Jan 6th. That's what justice would look like. >
  
  I'd rather see Trump in a special cell like the one for Magneto in X-Men, only it's designed to keep him away from anything with a screen >
  
  He don’t need a special cell like magneto. Solitary confinement and a bucket to shit in will suffice. But who are we kidding? If he does actually go to jail, it will be like the jail he goes to at the end of wolf of Wall Street. Tennis courts and brunch. >
  
  Ya at a minimum he'll need everything private. He'd still have some kind of security detail right? >
  
  Yea, talk about uncharted territory. Locking up a former POTUS. Knowing trump, if he actually does get sentenced with any amount of time, he will stop with the make-up and fake sun tan, he will then suddenly look like he’s aged 50 years in a day, he will pretend he is ill and they will put him in a fancy hospital bed for the rest of his life.
  OR:
  He gets charged with high treason and is convicted in a state with the death penalty (Florida?). I could see desantis on board with this idea…
  Edit:
  Bonus if they bury his body at sea next to UBL. >
  
  Treason would require he be aiding a country we are officially at war with I believe. >
  
  You're correct.
  He can be tried for seditious conspiracy. >
  
  Whatever, that is what it is supposed to do. He has suffered from lack of accountability his entire life.  It is about time. >
  
  In what meaningful way has he ever been held accountable? Nothing will happen. I hate these articles with a passion. >
  
  Same. 
  Though I can't get interested more because he's adept at keeping court proceedings going forever, and he's only got a few years left on the clock. >
  
  I told my wife the next time I see his name I'd like it to be preceeded with the words "Here lies" >
  
  I'll take followed by "was led away in handcuffs" as a reasonable alternative. >
  
  Promise? >
  
  He's still walking free and with zero real consequences. Not too much of an awful year so far. >
  
  Yeah he needs to be an example of (jailed) so other leaders don’t think they can do similar stuff. >
  
  There's already been examples of how it should work. Peru's President decided he wouldn't accept the results of an election, tried to dissolve parliament and remain in power, and was in custody within a couple of hours.
  Justice in the US is very much tiered based on multiple facets. >
  
  Yeah but Peru is a proper free democratic country with a rule of law. Not a Disney show laissez faire paradise for blutocrats. >
  
  Quoting Freedomhouse— who boasts of having former US Congress critters, including a House Intelligence Committee member— (edit: on its board of directors) is laughable. It’s just a pro-US imperialism outfit.
  Which countries again have problems holding their leaders accountable? Seem to be the “beacons of democracy” crowd that are full of shit. >
  
  Thanks, you saved me a lot of typing >
  
  Call me when he is in prison. >
  
  There will be street parties everywhere on that day >
  
  There will be riots in cornfields. >
  
  I can't decide whether that would be confused domestic terrorism or overenthusiastic opposition to high fructose corn syrup. >
  
  
  overenthusiastic opposition
  
  One can never be overenthusiastic in their opposition to HFC. >
  
  What was awful about his year? 
  Last I checked, he avoided all criminal consequences for his many crimes, and he got to golf freely when any other American would be sitting in prison. 
  He raked in millions in donations, even AFTER committing egregious crimes and being found guilty of fraud. 
  Now he's running for the highest office of the land, AGAIN, after inciting an insurrection against the very country he wants to lead. no one is stopping him, and there's a chance he could WIN it.
  I WISH I could have a year this "awful", I'd be sunning myself on my yacht. >
  
  Very much this. It's a real fucking sad indictment against the justice system of this country that the blatant fraudster and criminal conman is having a bad year that is better than most american's regular lives. if only we were all lucky enough to have a bad year where we can license our names and barely vague likeness to make some 4 million dollars. >
  
  Good. He deserves karma. >
  
  This is more of a philosophical thing, but isn't the point of karma is that everyone deserves it? >
  
  Depends on how you define karma. Mostly the original meaning wasn't that what you do comes back to you, rather the understanding & responsibility of knowing that what you do affects others. >
  
  I didn't know that, I like that version better. >
  
  Same here. We shouldn't be relying on some sort of expected reward to be a decent human. Latching onto that, especially spiritually, seems very transactional. >
  
  It must be exhausting to be near or in his circle with all this legal drama >
  
  It must have been terrible to sit at the trump family dinner table this Christmas. Oh how I would love to see a video of the dinner went >
  
  I imagine it like a Festivus celebration except it was all Airing of Grievances and no Feats of Strength. >
  
  Two weeks ago today, I was diagnosed with colorectal cancer. I named the tumor Donald Lump, as it is a malignant asshole tumor. >
  
  We’ve been waiting for them too long and they only got 6years from the irs. Idk that we will find or see what we want to. Still, I’ll be paying attention to the news pretty closely on Friday. >
  
  You know, Newsweek could probably change their name to Clickbait now. >
  
  Make sure he gets a prison cell with a low flow toilet >
  
  With a prison window view of a field of cancer-causing windmills and a low-flow shower head factory. >
  
  It's almost over.
  Then a worse year starts. >
  
  Yes, please! >
  
  We are victims to his crimes. Can we sue? >
  
  Of course you can sue.  I wouldn't expect to win though. >
  
  Trump doesn’t care. After a lifetime of lies and cons, he’s gotten away with everything. He truly believes that he will get away with all this too. >
  
  He will get away with it.  Jim Jordan will too.  Mike Lee and Ted Cruz and the rest of those treacherous snakes will be fine.   
  Only the little people go down, the leaders always get pardoned to "prevent division". >
  
  Didn't read but I'm guessing he's days away from being indicted? Facing jail time? Losing support? What's Michael Cohen saying? He's usually right in all his predictions... 
  /s if it's needed >
  
  I have justice blue balls with this dude. >
  
  6th year I’ve read this headline. >
  
  "about, should, could, may"  All of those words mean dick.  We need action of justice.  We need to see an arrest and indictment and charges.  None of that has happened as investigations are "still ongoing" but the clock is running out on him being brought to justice. >
  
  This is such an aside, so, sorry … but this whole chain of events kind of reminds me of why I stopped talking to my grandmother recently.  
  People get to a certain age and feel like they’ve passed a certain threshold where they “got away with it”, or don’t have to apologize or that they have carte Blanche to do whatever they want… because hey, they made it this far and who fucking cares.  
  The reality is that this guy, who got away with everything his entire life, from rape to extortion, to treason, impeachment… the whole list.   
  I take particular enjoyment knowing how devastating and impactful his swift plummet will be, and how he will go down in the history books as one of the worst of history. So will his whole family, which is why Ivanka (arguably the only intelligent and possibly most evil of the lot) has now distanced herself from him.  
  On one hand, he had 75 years of bliss, so of the few he’s got left being miserable might seem like poor compensation but he’s going to die absolutely miserable, with no respect and his reputation will be immortalized. It’s ironic that his favourite insult for the last 20 years has been to call people “losers”, when that’s what everyone will remember him as forever >
  
  I keep hearing this but… >
  
  Doesn’t seem like his year as been all that bad after raising all that NFT money >
  
  Anyone else tired of this same headline showing up everywhere???? >
  
  Like duh 🙄 >
  
  I’ll believe it when I see it. That being said he is more unpopular - and irrelevant - than ever which could make indicting him more palatable for the justice department. Not that politics should have ever been involved in the decision in the first place >
  
  Until he and everyone involved in this are behind bars he’s doing great. >
  
  Not our fault it's all catching up to him all at once. Should've been held accountable throughout his life like everyone else. >
  
  Kid’s this is why you dont brag about your money while committing crimes.  Prison gangs will know how much you can afford in protection money. >
  
  The “bad” things that happen to Trump are just precursors for actual bad things that never happen .
  Caught stealing classified docs - ohh he’s gonna go to jail
  Caught lying on his taxes - ohh he’s gonna go to jail
  Caught trying to overthrow the government - ohh he’s gonna go to jail
  How about some fines and actual jail before we talk about the “awful” year Trump is having >
  
  .. I know. The title of that article is silly....like two weeks back his NFT trading cards sold out overnight. The guy is doing pretty ok. He's a giant celebrity and his brand is lucrative. >
  
  Jmo, c'mon Garland, c'mon jack Smith, let's ring in the new year 2023 with a perp walk for tfg. >
  
  Good. He's made every year worse for me since he got into politics. >
  
  He will never be convicted. Trump is a weak individual and would clearly cash out his own life before ever serving time for his crimes. >
  
  I’ll believe there will some accountability when I see it. Until then it’s click bait articles like this that remind of the movie Groundhog Day. >
  
  The DOJ is the one hurting democracy now. Get on with it. It’s getting ridiculous. >
  
  Nothing will happen to him. Why hasn't he even been arrested? Its been two years. The GA phone call was recorded and everyone has heard it. He threatened an official to give him just enough votes to win by one vote. Its on tape.
  He stole classified documents and has admitted that he did it many times. Where is the indictment? 
  Jan 6th? DOJ is going to say there isn't enough hard evidence to get a conviction and will pass on it. >
  
  Apparently just having literal mounds of evidence with an unimpeachable chain of custody, along with numerous public statements confessing to the crimes and dozens of corroborating witnesses, isn't enough.
  From what everyone says, for some reason it takes years to investigate these crimes for which all the necessary evidence is already sitting in a vault. It would seem this stuff is so complicated that my non-lawyer mind simply can't grasp how ridiculous it is to suggest that already having an ironclad case is enough to charge somebody with something.
  That said, I do actually expect an indictment in the Georgia case within the next month or two. >
  
  Nah. As George Carlin famously said, "It's a big club, and you ain't in it." One set of rules for the little powerless fish (us) and another for the rich and powerful fish. Ultimately, they look after their own. >
  
  Has he been arrested, yet?  Thrown into detention while waiting for trial?  Had assets frozen and or seized?  Then his year isn't 'awful' at all, yet, and that's something that needs to be worked on. >
  
  Seriously, his life must look pretty good to a lot of people. 
  Oh, he's under stress from legal troubles?   Yeah living on minimum wage with kids to feed and a sick parent is a cakewalk, nobody experiences stress from that kind of thing. >
  
  Oh what, is he going to get some dirt on his sandwich while avoiding jail for the 906th time? >
  
  Good. Fuck that guy. >
  
  Jail!!! >
  
  Less clickbait, more do. >
  
  My prison cell is gonna be yuuuge. The biggest you’ve ever seen. >
  
  Is he in jail or permanently removed from pursuing office? Then I don’t care . >
  
  Let’s hope so, jail until he rots… >
  
  I keep hearing this, and yet here he is, in a mansion.  Eating steak with ketchup. >
  
  Nothing will happen to him. Prove me wrong. >
  
  I kinda want him to not get arrested until after 2024 so that he can bring the entire Republican Party down with him before the next election. But maybe that’s too much to ask… >
  
  sometimes I feel like Trump will be 2 years into his second term and Newsweek will be like "Are the Walls FINALLY Closing in on Trump??" >
  
  Lol, they will be like that after he has thrown a successful coup the next time and be like “the rebellion’s walls are closing in on God Emperor Trump… we’re sure they’ll get him this time.” >
  
  I'll believe it when I see it. >
  
  Yada, yada, yada. Same old bullshit story. Will believe it when he's indicted. >
  
  Releasing his taxes will humiliate him because men in his wealth spectrum, can see how poorly he really does.
  This will be murderous to his business.
  He doesn't give a dam about the poor seeing them because they can't decipher the meanings. >
  
  So excited to see this headline for the 272738295th time without any meaningful consequences. I’m sure this will be the one! >
  
  I've been waiting 6 long, tormented years for this.
  REJOICE! >
  
  Is it though? Is he really having an awful year? Or is he just chilling in his lavish compounds? It’s hard to have a bad time when you are incapable of feeling guilt or shame. 
  I still say he will never see the inside of a jail cell let alone prison cell. I’ll believe it when I see it. >
  
  And 2023 looks to be shaping up to be a doozey.. >
  
  A rich, powerful White Republican being held accountable by DOJ? Laughable.
  DOJ exists solely to protect the god-given immunity of White Right Wing power structures, and to feed the prison industrial complex poor and non-white bodies for slave labor.
  They have already shown us this with their willful inaction in response to the Jan 6th attack on Democracy. Only the poor face consequences. The rich planners, plotters, and funders are free to continue their public crime spree, which they are! >
  
  Oh well. That’s what happens when you’re a pos >
  
  He’s a fraud, bla bla bla, go to jail!! It’s sad, my mom insists her money is now worthless. The stock market is down we’re in a recession..She says us is printing money that’s worthless. All because she listens and still loves trump. This guy is the absolute worst thing that has ever happened to our planet! >
  
  Most awful year…so far (in Homer Simpson voice) >
  
  One could only hope it gets much worse, orange jumpsuit worse. >
  
  Can we ban these posts until something actually happens please >
  
  He was rich and powerful when the year started and he’ll be rich and powerful when it ends. >
  
  With 3 days left? Pssh just say next year will be worse (which I will believe when I see) >
  
  If I had a nickel for every time I've read that headline. >
  
  Oh come now. That is simply not true. There are only 6 days left in the year so he gets to have a whole new worst year! >
  
  Good. Accountability is a thing and nobody is above the law. This clown has been grifting his entire life. It's about time he paid a price for his fraud. >
  
  The only article I want to read now is when and if the DOJ indicts him >
  
  Oh, is it? Ok. Such a lazy clickbait headline. >
  
  Oh his awful terrible no good year of raking in millions for nothing and completely getting a pass on dozens of crimes and having dinner in his private resort and never being inconvenienced in any way! Fuck I’m tired of the press being bad. >
  
  Tired of these daily 'Trump is about to be screwed' articles when nothing ever happens to him or his fellow traitors. >
  
  I’ll believe it when it happens. >
  
  Hire me. I'll file charges and have him arrested by dinner time. >
  
  I hope that every day of the rest of this con’s life is a bad day. >
  
  Obviously the Trump faithful would be unfazed, but I think most people would be irked to hear they’ve paid more in taxes over several years than a political candidate living on a country club. >
  
  I seriously doubt anything is going to happen in the next 3 days, Newsweek. >
  
  Republicans: "But what did he actually do?" >
  
  There is no such thing as Club Fed anymore. Even the Camp at Eglin AFB stopped allowing inmates on the golf course and the food, while better than a lot of state prisons or county jails, is a far cry from when the Watergate crew got locked up. Trump can be housed where Noriega used to reside in Miami FCC with his own room and rec yard. >
  
  Good >
  
  Guess what… we’ve heard this so many times before. Nothing is going to happen. There will be NO accountability. >
  
  Excellent >
  
  Is it really, though? Yet to see any real consequences for this asshole. >
  
  I have already seen his tax returns. >
  
  The walls are closing in, guys. >
  
  Been reading these articles for years. He's fucked around, but he's white and rich so he'll never find out in America. >
  
  Don’t threaten me with a good time. >
  
  He is going to win in 2024 >
  
  What is his platform for how he'd run the country in 2024?
  Literally everything he's said during this current presidential run is about how the 2020 election was supposedly "stolen" or other Trump grievances. >
  
  This is it guys, the walls are closing in. >
  
  Any day now these walls, which have been closing for 6+ years now without doing anything, will finally get them… I’m sure of it/sarcasm >
  
  Today was the day Donald Trump finally became president. >
  
  I'll drink to that. >
  
  OK now I have a justice boner!
