The Louisiana Republican said he thinks the charges related to the former president’s mishandling of classified documents after he left office are “almost a slam dunk."

This may come across as a wild idea, but I’d settle for not prosecuting him if he never participates in politics again. Like not even a political tweet.

Nope. Bury him under Leavenworth.

He attempted to end our country.

He stole documents that probably got a ton of assets killed in enemy countries.

He stole documents that had highlighted our capabilities and readiness, as well as our allies.

Bury him under Leavenworth after he dies making little rocks out of big rocks.

Hard disagree... ADX Florence is a better fit.

Ok. Imma gonna make a compromise. He can go there, we ship him rocks to break from Leavenworth, and when he dies, he gets buried under Leavenworth.

I’m with you. I just think the expedient solution may be more definitive.

Your expedient solution is not effective. It relies entirely on a liar keeping their word.

How many promises has trump broken? I’ve lost count. All your “solution” would do is give him time to retconn his image and try again. No. We need to drop the full weight of justice on his orange pasty ass

You know, Hitler went to jail after the Bierhallputsch and got released under an accommodationst release like the one you're advocating...

As long as you're clear with everybody about what you want...

Letting Nixon quit rather than be empeached and imprisoned is why so many republicans, rightfully, think they're completely above the law.

This is not a smart idea, his Qult will just treat that as "big government" censoring their Messiah, and he would never stick to it, he's far too narcissistic for that.

Also he's 77, in poor health, there's so many people who were involved in the election theft attempt and January 6 who are much younger and need to be prosecuted as they are lingering threats to our democracy.

Everything you said makes no sense at all. None of it is any reason this shouldn’t happen.

Okay whatever you say Neville Chamberlain, you're a dipshit because appeasement only emboldens fascists like Trump.

You don't reason with bullies, you hold them accountable or punch them in the mouth, stop acting like a sniveling coward.

This shouldn't happen because these bastards tried to end our democracy because they are are selfish, entitled, greedy, power hungry bastards who want to force their beliefs on all of us, and you sound like you are just the type of bootlicker to let them.

Who said anything about appeasement. I’m saying he SHOULD drop out. You’re the dipshit that listed reasons why he shouldn’t.

Not prosecuting him is appeasement you fucking dullard.

Who said anything about NOT Prosecuting him? Jesus fucking Christ, learn how to read- I said that I agree he SHOULD DROP OUT. This doesn’t mean he shouldn’t be prosecuted.

Again- learn how to read and stop embarrassing yourself.

You're getting downvoted, but you're right. It's a dangerous precedent to imprison former presidents. There's plenty of reason to imprison Trump but Republicans will seek revenge for the next 40 years.

It's a dangerous precident to ensure public officials can't commit crimes with impunity?

Is that what I said? Hint, no it's not.

They should charge him and try him. I honestly hope DOJ settles with him for an agreement to never hold public office again. While I'd love to see him rot in prison, I worry about what that'll unleash in this country.

Dude can't even STFU after a judge told him to already. It's pure wishful thinking on your part that any agreement made would be held to.
