thanks for the responses, everyone. so he can potentially wriggle his way out of the j6/classified stuff, but not so much the ny/georgia voter fraud stuff.

is he looking at any jail time for the state level stuff or is it mostly fines/forfeiture? if he is, then for comedy's sake and not actually, i hope he gets elected because it would be really funny to see him running the country and doing press statements in an orange jumpsuit and holding cabinet meetings on the bleachers in the yard, appointing aryan brotherhood members to high level government positions

J6 is unclear, but is unlikely this year. Classified documents is chudged to gently caress and even more unlikely. The GA voter fraud RICO thing is a complete clusterfuck and even more unlikely. GA-RICOs take forever to even start.

NY pornstar hush money is likely, as it starts in two weeks. There's a technical felony in there, but Donnie's old and it's his first offense. Something like a year on a conviction wouldn't be shocking and straight probation wouldn't be out of the question or out of a mainstream decision.

Donnie serving time will basically be up to the election. He can effectively stall everything else for the year. If he wins, all the federal poo poo dies and all the state poo poo more or less gets suspended. If he loses, stalling only goes so far.

He’s living his dream, couldn’t be happier for him. Flew out and saw him a few years ago and almost thought about buying land in the valley he lives in because it was just so drat beautiful.

I need to go visit his and the boys asses this summer.

Again I can’t say this enough, a very good stand up dude. Always has a nice thing to say to most anyone, and just wants everyone to be happy and get along.

He realized SA was just not bringing him joy anymore, I think.

Mandatory minimum of 5 years in Georgia under their RICO statute, I believe.

Edit- yes, it’s a 5-20 year sentence, with 5 being the mandatory minimum.

If he loses that case, which I doubt he does, he’s definitely dying in prison.

my ideal outcome is that disgusting joke of a man seeing his whole rotten empire get torn down before he dies alone and unloved in prison

I was just looking at some old stuff from years ago and ran across comics / commentary I remember about the Bush Jr presidency. What a wild ride.

Stuff from people who very clearly considered Bush to be a total, absolute, 100% worst case scenario. The foulest of all possible outcomes; an absolute low point. Holy poo poo if they had known that in less time than they'd think they'd want to crawl across broken glass for someone even a tenth as competent as him, they'd probably have just checked out entirely.

Bush should get no credit since he was still surrounded by malignant fucks and a lot (all?) of those by choice. And his decisions have, so far*, had arguably worse repercussions than trump's, although that could very well change. In short I wouldn't be too quick to look at the bush years with rosy lenses

The media machine that delivered us the culture wars, Trump, and the unhinged false reality that many of his supporters inhabit may have roots going back to Reagan, but it was kicked into afterburner during the Bush years. Maybe not by Bush himself, but certainly by the GOP apparatus he was a part of.

Top Israeli spy chief exposes his true identity in online security lapse

quote:

The identity of the commander of Israel’s Unit 8200 is a closely guarded secret. He occupies one of the most sensitive roles in the military, leading one of the world’s most powerful surveillance agencies, comparable to the US National Security Agency.

Yet after spending more than two decades operating in the shadows, the Guardian can reveal how the controversial spy chief – whose name is Yossi Sariel – has left his identity exposed online.

The embarrassing security lapse is linked to a book he published on Amazon, which left a digital trail to a private Google account created in his name, along with his unique ID and links to the account’s maps and calendar profiles.

Which is actually kind of interesting since bush jr was pretty easily responsible for way more human suffering than trump. Sure trump completely dropped the ball on covid, but even then the US only had about 20% more per capita deaths from covid than the EU or about 200k if you attribute the entire difference (including '21 onward) to trump. trump is by all means more of a personally malicious rear end in a top hat, but his unprecedented incompetence and laziness prevented him from doing most of the terrible poo poo he talked about.

bush on the other hand unilaterally started two country-engulfing conflicts, putting 50+ million people into a state of war for decades with estimates of deaths in the high hundreds of thousands, if not millions. He is legitimately a monster who gets a pass because the media played up his aww shucks personality.
