I don't really care about the stupid "classified documents stuff", I just think that it is funny that POTUS will not be charged because he is too cognitively impaired.

"He did not remember when he was vice president" is also funny. My son died and I was the Democratic VP was Biden's main pitch to the Dem primary electorate lmao.

    I'm holding out hope that he gets convicted in some state (Georgia, probably) and then can't pardon himself so he has to serve out his term from a jail cell. that would be the absolute funniest outcome and so on brand for the US.

      He will build his own gaudy prison for him and his cabinet ala Pablo Escobar

      Then on the eve of the State of the Union address he loses his zoom privileges by posting a death threat on TruthSocial.

      The union splits when soldiers fight Trump out of prison and the libs kneel in congress before shuffling out slowly.

        I mean, the military invading Georgia to break him out of jail would be pretty lit, all on it's own

      I thought that would stop him of being electable. If I misunderstood then you are right, it would be the funniest outcome

        there's a technicality that you can't hold federal office if you've done an insurrection, which is what the libs are furiously gesturing at. but they fundamentally misunderstand power. the supreme court can and will throw at that statute if it ever comes up in a case and it benefits them. but no state convictions or even lesser federal ones stop someone from taking power, once elected.

        USian federalism is weird. we elect a king every 4 years but his lords can throw him in jail and keep him there, while the priests deify his reign.
