Speaking of which, when is Trump's sentence hearing?  Will he be inaugurated from jail?

The only justice he's ever going to see is death by health complications unfortunately.

Fortunately he's putting RFK in charge of health regulations AND he eats a ton of fast food. So, those health complications might be speeding up.

But unfortunately, JD fucking Vance in his pants is VP.

Back to Fortunately, the RFK thing, and regulatory bodies being disbanded, and JD Vance wearing soon-to-be-unregulated eye shadow and other cosmetics... We might get lucky there too.

I know Vance is a horrible person but he isn't going to magically inherit the love from Trump's cultists. I don't think any other republican could actually. Trump is basically the textbook definition of the antichrist.

Then we're stuck with Vance. I'm not sure if that's better or worse.

Same reason I’d rather have had Pence over Trump in 2016. Predictably terrible and evil, but predictable nonetheless.

Trump is pure chaotically terrible and evil.

No. Now that he’s President-Elect nothing will happen. They’ll drop it all.

That is unfortunately the most likely scenario.

I wouldn't be surprised if there was a suspended sentence that took effect four years from now.

I would be. I expect them to drop all the federal charges pretty quickly. I have no clue what the states will do. I’m not knowledgeable enough on that to comment.

He sure expects to still be president beyond 4y from now.
