If we could lock him up before election season really kicks in that would be great… otherwise I’m scared for our democracy.

First president elected from prison. The crazies uniting behind their martyr.

Won't happen.

First Republican debate is 8/23. We won't even have a trial date for the Jan. 6 stuff until 8/28.

Primary calendar is here:

Trump has 2 trial dates set so far, New York in March and Florida in May.

1st trial is 15 days after Super Tuesday.

2nd trial is before just a handful of states.

Which is fucking insane why are they pushing the trails so far out?

Caseload. The D.C.courts have 800 cases pending for 1/6 alone, not counting any other crimes.

NY most likely has similar load issues. The Florida case has the added bonus of needing lawyers with security clearances.

Well, can't those 800 douches move to the back of the line? They should be making way for their leader.

If you weren't scared before, you haven't been paying enough attention.

But why? Didn't Biden beat him? Not that I'm a fan of Biden, but the majority of Americans dislike Trump more than Biden.

The crazies have not been getting less crazy, and they're doing their best to convert as many fence-sitters as possible.

But its not just about who wins and who loses the presidential election. There's also down-ticket races, as well as the increased extremism that this ongoing spectacle is pushing on all parts of the political spectrum.

Just going to point out that convicting and jailing him does not disqualify him from holding office, and would likely just embolden his base.
