Remembering this has kept me sane throughout the Trump nightmare.

One day, hopefully soon, Trump will lose the protection of the presidency. When that day comes there will be hell to pay.

The next Democratic AG will need a bigger office. The next Democratic AG will be required to investigate the crimes of Trump and his people.

I have lost track of the number of investigations, crimes committed by Trump and his people, it's incredible.

Over the past three years Trump has attacked everybody. He has hurt people. He has attacked the justice department, FBI, CIA, every democratic group, organization. He has attacked politicians, Democratic State governments, attorney generals. He has attacked the courts , judges.

No so called president in the history of our country has made so many powerful enemies as Trump. They will not forget or forgive. When Trump leaves office, hell will be waiting for him.

Remember this for starters. Trump was named in a New York felony case that sent his lawyer to prison. That has not gone away. When Trump leaves office New York State may have other serious state charges waiting for him.

All the people, criminals who work for Trump will lose their protection. They will be investigated. This will not happen over night, but it will happen. Knowing this keeps me sane.

But then I worry that a new AG wouldn't want to set a precedent of prosecuting former presidents fearing that it would open a can of worms. I hope to hell I'm wrong.

2. Sorry, but at the rate he is regressing, he may well have a viable "incompetence" defense by that

time. I am absolutely convinced he is in at least stage 4-5 (middle) dementia. Some physicians who have been commenting on his deterioration believe he is closer to stage six, especially when some of his balance issues are taken into account. Given he has literally everything done for him, some of the deterioration may be less apparent than it would be for the average person. Late dementia (stage 7) would likely be fully apparent by the time he faced any charges.

Not facing a legal sentence nor severe repercussions for any of his myriad of crimes sucks, but is probably likely.

Isn’t that the reason he “pulled an OJ” and changed his residency to Florida where his ASS-ets would be protected?

A huge mistake that emboldened the GOP to assume that they could do anything with no fear of consequences.

those are the ones I want to go after the most. Starting with the youngest and the ones with the most power first (the youngest because they have the most time to do damage).

Especially the people who knew he is incompetent, the people who knew his actions was illegal and said nothing.
Don't forgot those that put many of these ideas in his head.

Otherwise they will just continue the big con. That whole family needs to be thrown into prison. I long for the day when they finally all go down.
