CNN Jim Acosta says Trump's departure ceremony at Joint Base Andrews on the morning of the 20th is expected to be like a state visit departure event, per admin official familiar with planning. Color guard, military band, 21 gun salute and red carpet all under consideration for event, at the moment.
I’m all in favour of this, give him something to look forward to and boast about, take his mind off active fascism for a bit. He loves a bit of fuss. When it’s all over slap the handcuffs on.
And when at 12;01 PM when he is no longer President, change his Secreit Service guard, take him out behind the Washington Monument and then..

No.

Apart from the fact I'm opposed to the death penalty I quite like the idea of him waking in his cell every morning facing another day of being the biggest loser ever.

Inspired by nezumi's suggestion I think they need a specially prepared ceremonial door, to symbolically hit him on the arse on the way out. Bit 'o pageantry always makes an occasion.

At noon on January 20, Trump will be in desperate shape. His business is floundering, his partners are fleeing, his loans are delinquent, prosecutors will be coming after him, and the legal impunity he enjoyed through his office will be gone. He will be walking naked into a cold and friendless world. What appeared to be a brilliant strategy for escaping consequences was merely a tactic for putting them off. The bill is coming due.

It's been longer than that - he was going on about fraud in his first election! That millions of illegal immigrants voted, that if he lost it would have been because of nefarious means.

He will never see the inside of a prison cell, no matter what we might wish.

The fact he whined so badly about an election he f.cking WON* should have been ample warning about how badly he was going to take being the biggest** loser in US election history.

But no the GOP ghouls were all still “he’s learnt his lesson”.


*in the bizarre US sense of the word.


**probably, I don’t have the exact numbers to hand.

While this is by far the best outcome, JQH is probably a better man than me, and the phrase "free helicopter ride on Marine One" keeps coming to my mind.

It's telling that by all accounts his destruction of presidential records appeared to be an unconcious habit of his; one he persisted with even when he had it pointed out to him that a) it was illegal and b) it was pointless as some poor schmuck had to then spend their day taping them back together again.

It speaks volumes of his pathological level of corruption that the automatic destruction of potentially incriminating material was such an engrained second nature to him.

I’ll make a prediction now that a lot of sh.t will have been hidden by marking it as classified and top secret and it will take months to come out.

And does anybody really believe that Trump stopped sexually assaulting people when he became President?

Trump is reportedly about to start a political party, challenging the Republicans for the racist white man vote.

Well in the short term that'll right-royally do over the GOP in some areas by splitting the vote. Hopefully, long term it will shine a light on this and force people to address this issue (again).

I can imagine a party of extremist racists is going to go brilliantly when led by Trump and his family*... can't see any likely problems cropping up there, no siree... so if this leads to further exposure to criminal prosecution of Trump, I'm all for it.

*you can see Don Jr has got the bug for power.
