I'll bet. He was sure he would be able to avoid prison by becoming a dictator. That is now in question, and that is one thing that scares his ass to death, as it should.

Rigged by Musk. Your Repugnant Party is going down, last night was only a taste. Open up Congress UselessToolMikeJohnson. You will never be a King.

Leah Baum's avatar

A judge read Grindr Mike the riot act telling him to swear in Tucson’s representative immediately. He will probably ignore it like his boss ignores judge’s orders.

JerryBier's avatar

He may, but he will be stepping on some toes that may be poisonous snakes, and this judge might take a bite out of his lying ass.

I am actually in favor of 'exile' to a 'resort' of some nature. An absolute limit on visitors, an absolute blackout of any messages etc from him to the 'outside world', but all the comforts and protections afforded to ex-presidents, except for access to his 'presidential library' and it's plane. No need to make him a martyr, no need for cruelty to an old man with advanced dementia, but the nation needs to be protected from his influence, just like any other criminal. Of course his wealth accumulated through fraud and bribes and various violations of the constitution need to be 'clawed back'.

Make Trump a 'deal', if he goes peacefully, he gets all the comforts he desires, but if he fights it, he gets tossed into a standard jail in solitary confinement - for his protection, with Secret Service guards (selected from those not favorable to his presidency), with no TV.

Yes, he fears jail, so we make a deal that bypasses the worst of his fears while still holding him accountable and removing him as a danger to the nation.

DamnFineHaggis's avatar

Fuck that. Put him in Gitmo. No phone or internet. No access to or from there for anyone but the guards. No comfy life for this pedo traitor. Until he dies. 😡 💀

We Are Very Sorry's avatar

And definitely no golf.

JohnC-Va's avatar

Yup, right there with you. Put him in solitary, let him go completely mad. Then turn him into shark bait.

Ellen CW's avatar

Make him go hungry a bit so he knows how that feels too. He’s a POS!

Jean Conley's avatar

He needs to go on a diet, anyway. He already went on one that removed his brain.

Katjones's avatar

He has killed innocent ppl from other countries...he has influenced an election in a foreign country...he has stole money from us

Leah Baum's avatar

Put the pedophile in gen pop and let the prisoners take care of him. 😂🤣

Jennifer Brody's avatar

Mmm, yes, but I happen to know that most of the white prison gang population are MAGA white supremacists. (Even if not to start with, you have to be in a gang of your own "race", and those gangs are very pro-Nazi.) They probably wouldn't believe anything bad about him. I'd hate to see him end up in prison only to be coddled and protected by his homies. Solitary isolation would be better, and it would drive a narcissist like him, with his need for attention and adulation, stark raving bonkers (although he's pretty much there already.)

I'm not sure how long he's even going to last. Between all his mini-strokes, and family history of dementia, both cognitively and physically I doubt he'll last a full term in office. But if he does, sure, I'd love to see him in prison.

Jean Conley's avatar

Forgot the "keep him in isolation" part.

Teri M Hertler's avatar

Absolutely 💯% behind THIS!!!! He's a pig pedophile who had raped 13yo girls!😤🤬💀HIS KARMA IS AS 🤏🏻TINY🤏🏻 AS HIS BRAIN, IN BOTH HEADS! LET HIM FUCKING ROT 😤 AT His STINKIN ALLIGATOR ALCATRAZ HE DESERVES NO MERCY!!! BTW, That 13yo -COMMITTED SUICIDE just After DROPPING HIS NAME!! IF THAT DOESN'T SAY "SHAME? WHAT DOES?

💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀

Douglas Gilligan's avatar

While I certainly have no sympathy for the man, 'deals' are made all the time by (most) every prosecutor for a reason. It greatly speeds up the process and resolution of the case. Look at how long Trump has already dragged out two of his cases (still have not gone to trial), and notice he was still walking around free. I want him shut up, disappeared, without being a martyr for the brain damaged 20% of our population that will continue to see him as their leader. Personally I would have cameras in his 'space', not only for proof of life, to quell various conspiracy theories (not all of course, because conspiracy theorists are too creative) and to show his degeneration, to show him weak, caged, a loser, shamed.

My goal is not to be kind to him, it is to help this nation transition so that he stops being the boogy man or hero/saint/second coming as some see him and just see him for what he is.

Towards that, it would be best if we prepared now for his impeachment by creating in one place ALL his crimes and sins and terrible things etc, with the evidence to back them up. ALL the reasons to remove him as president, but also to give perspective on the depth and breadth of his pure wrongness. We fight so often on each and every crime and then he does another, and another and we keep talking about one crime, while ignoring all the prior ones. We keep talking as though he was a criminal mastermind while actually he is in advanced dementia with a major severe personality disorder.

Trump is the guy who wants to put people in jail without due process, without any evidence, we can be better than that, but trials do take time. My hunch is that it is even money that Trump would accept any such deal, choosing to take a chance on corrupt judges, endless trial delays and an emergency escape to Russia in case of need...

JerryBier's avatar

I would be in favor of something like that. I mean, we should show some decency because that's what liberals and democrats do. To do otherwise would make us no better than him and his ICE thugs.

S. A. Linden's avatar

Decency I do believe in. But Trump, in between his bouts of drug-controlled dementia, is still practicing the business thuggery that he pulled on New Yorkers. He was so thick into the Mob that he knows no other way to "deal." And he's still doing it.

See what he did there? He told a room full of his sycophants that he "fires" any Republican who essentially decides to go for a bipartisan solution. I'm sure that Mikey Johnson heard him well.

Nuh uh . . . Donald Trump deserves no luxury. He has been enabled all his damn life. Let him for ONCE feel how the other half lives!

Teri M Hertler's avatar

Nope 🙅🏼‍♀️

Schmendryck's avatar

how about exile to a14-ft sq. lead box buried under the segregated housing unit at Leavenworth?

Lady Emsworth's avatar

It's a nice Christian solution - only problem is,trump wouldn't accept it. He's addicted to power and being "right." And he wouldn't believe he could EVER be sent to an ordinary jail.

JohnC-Va's avatar

I’m in the Old Testament camp at the moment, an eye for an eye. Send the stinking lying criminal to CECOT, let him rot and die in squalid splendor, along with the Salvadoran rats and cockroaches, just like those poor souls he initially rounded up when his ICE goons began their reign of terror.

Schmendryck's avatar

Well, of course we don't wish to be cruel... the lead box would be more than adequately aerated, well ventilated, & a little dumbwaiter box for his food to be lowered to him. & maybe a bucket, a nice big bucket next to the toilet/sink for him to deposit his diapers & place into the dumbwaiter to be whisked upwards for disposal. But ya gotta be limber enough to reach back there with that burlap-coarse "bathroom tissue," don!

Gunnar Jensen's avatar

Not a bad idea! Maybe he could finally build his dream castle, "The Golden Showers Towers, Moscow" with his pal Putin, and self-impose his exile there. (He'll just have to avoid stairways and windows, unless he exiles to the ground floor.)

Kieren's avatar

"The Golden Showers Towers, Moscow"

Love It! Send JD there with him.

Douglas Gilligan's avatar

Nah, that is what I figured he would do if he lost the election, or at the latest, when he got convicted (again) because repeat offenders go to jail.

Heather B's avatar

Exile, yes, comfort, no. No special foods or cokes or by all means ketchup! No contact with the outside world. Same for his spawn.

A.D. Britten's avatar

If Trump wants his cabinet to act like the people around Xi Jinping, then he should pack his bags, move to Beijing and run to head China. That will make our lives in this country better.

Suzanne Pilolla's avatar

Justice would be for him to suffer the same humiliation, pain and loss that he has brought to 10's of millions of Americans and he must answer for the murder of all the people, drug traffickers or not, that have been killed under his orders in the boat attacks. Every asset he and his family have accumulated during his term in office should be stripped from them and placed in a fund to reimburse all those that have lost their homes, their money and their livelihoods because of DOGE and subsequent actions in all the departments they have undermined. It needs to be timely or there will be no justice. Just my humble opinion.

And no re-entry back into the U.S.

You're right, he's delusional and toxic and I loathe him

Ginger Edwards's avatar

I cannot keep watching the clips of Trump. You need to do something different as I'm nauseas and I bet others are too.

Nancy Marie's avatar

If you don't like, don't watch. I also find them nauseating but poor Ben has to watch all of them to keep us informed, and I would hate to see him discontinue his analysis. You can easily move the cursor forward to skip to the next segment of the video.

S. A. Linden's avatar

I just mute and read the captions. His voice is so slimy and repulsive.

Barb O's avatar

Yeah. He watches so we don't have to. What a blessing!

What do you think you have with JD Vance?

Kieren's avatar

Nothing specific: just general creepiness. If nothing else he agreed to run with tRump. It doesn't speak well for his ethics or his intelligence.

Only the beginning! Never take democracy for granted!! Keep calm and RESIST!

Bingo!!!! These fascist MAGATS will not go quietly. We’ve just begun the process.

Jase's avatar

Respect is earned not demanded. "They looked so scared..I want to be like that." He wants to be a dictator SO hard 😂🤣

Edith Brideau's avatar

You're right. The idiots in his cabinet do not respect him. They either fear him because they think he can end their careers or they're biding their time, waiting to see if they'll still have cushy jobs when Vance takes his place. They have no integrity. It took only one televised cabinet to confirm what sniveling cowards and asskissers they are.

Lady Emsworth's avatar

Being a part of the trump administration is like being part of a pack of jackals.

JA's avatar

Straight out of FOX! All of them!

S. A. Linden's avatar

You're right. They don't respect him. They see him failing physically and mentally. Why do you think he gets shipped off to his other properties?

They don't want him around.

Susan Raquel's avatar

Can't wait to see his cabinet standing at attention like he said he wanted them to do. Pretty soon he might even pick out uniforms for them to wear. He will probably have all the females botoxed to look alike -- wouldn't really matter because he can't tell them apart anyway.

What do you think the uniform would look like?

Ken Goodman's avatar

Same as when they showed up at his trial: Too-long red tie and ill-fitting suit.

Where are the Epstein files? Felon 47

gerri caldarola's avatar

Let's hope Ken Martin and the Dem establishment take note -- progressivism is not the problem -- going too far to the center is the problem --

mary thiel's avatar

Except “moderate” candidates won, too. It’s not one size fits all, but finding what will,work in each area of the country, as AOC said. Let’s stop dividing, and figure out how to get the most votes, in each different part of the country. VOTES are key. Figuring out how to get them, and how to protect the vote should be amongst our top,priorities.

Anastasia Pantsios's avatar

Exactly. Let's hope the self-styled progressives constantly complaining about the DNC and whoever is currently in charge of it, even in races where the DNC wasn't involved, take note. Mikie Sherrill, who won by a larger margin and more votes in a larger jurisdiction than Mamdani did, is one of the most "centrist" Democratic members of Congress, ranked 200 out of 213. The real issue is running strong candidates who are right for their own voter base. Mamdani would've been wrong for Virginia or New Jersey.

gerri caldarola's avatar

You are so correct -- and, still I hope the words "socialist" or "progressive" don't scare our leaders off -- look at Jeffries: he would not say Mamdani is the future of the party -- of course, Mamdani is part of the future of the party...If we talk to voters and find out what they want and hope for, e.g., Sherrill and Spanberger and especially Mamdani.

gerri caldarola's avatar

absolutely,, and out Dem leaders do run away from not towards candidates when they hear the words "socialist" "progressive" "Muslim"

Bette G.'s avatar

Our party is a big tent. We cannot devalue one side or another within the party and last night's results proved that. Winning for us depends on the area where the elections are held. Not every candidate was a progressive on everything but they did campaign on basic things that matter to all. And THAT is what got some Republican voters to vote for them.

S. A. Linden's avatar

You are 100% correct. But I *will* say that progressives had the energy to get out and knock on doors and connect w/ voters personally. That's something that is unfamiliar to the DNC, which merely throws money at campaign ads every election. We need to fix the Party, the sooner the better.

Carol Leary's avatar

Door knocking is something I learned at an early age, as well as handing out flyers at busy train stations. Seemed to me that people appreciated it, more & more the older I got!

Annie Ball's avatar

There is almost no center

Anastasia Pantsios's avatar

Exactly. I discovered this morning on my weekly stroll through Progressive Punch (looking up Mikie Sherrill's voting record, about as "centrist" as one can be these days) that currently the gap between the most conservative Democrat (Henry Cuellar) and most "progressive" Republican (Brian Fitzpatrick) on crucial issues in this Congress is 65 points!!!!! Sherrill is no Becca Balint, Max Frost or Monica McIver (with 100% progressive scores across the board, it's clear why the Trump administration is targeting McIver), but she's right for her district and her state.

Catherine Ognissanti's avatar

Thank you for bringing us the truth Ben. For the first time in a long time, I feel some hope that we can get through this terrible time by taking back the House and Senate and stopping Trump in his tracks. And seeing the American people pushing back is a wonderful sight to see. I have faith now that we can take congress back and his agenda will be done.

Amber Marie's avatar

I had almost forgotten what hope and happiness felt like, it feels so invigorating for the momentum needed ahead, but for today in this moment I will luxuriate in these victories for democracy and the people.

Yesterday, this regime saw what America stands for, freedom and democracy. We fight until the end!!!

Thanks Ben for the great job you do. You are much appreciated.

Quantum Kitty's avatar

If SCOTUS has any brains left, they will read the tea leaves and know they are losing this game and they better turn it around, because the day is coming when we will put term limits on them and increase the number of seats. Their corruption and participation in this reign of terror is coming to an end. Perhaps if Democrats have any balls at all left, they will seek to prosecute Clarence Thomas' wife & him for their role in Jan 6 insurrection & Thomas for his accepting bribe money throughout the years

45/47 caused economic collapse in 9 months, starving the American people, bullying the American with illegal ICE folk, profiting from being in the Whitehouse, pay for play pardons, hiding his criminal past by holding up the Epstein files and a host of other illegal and unrighteous stuff. America is $36 trillion in debt, owing funds to China, Japan and the UK????.The American people need an explanation, an apology and 45/47's humble resignation?????

Susan Hanway's avatar

The American people need to see him IN JAIL.

Elizabeth J. Sampson's avatar

And give us back our money which you stole .

Kathie J's avatar

We would be all for his resignation. Humble though, probably not.

Susan's avatar

My screen just flashed a message, and it seems taco was involved in assassins plot to kill Obama. The story flashed,then it disappeared. Not even sure of the outlet, but I would imagine if true, we will be hearing more.

Elizabeth J. Sampson's avatar

I feel certain that Trump’s goons murdered Epstein and also Ivana, who has stood at the top of her stairs for decades without falling, and who suddenly - without reason- fell down the stairs. People don’t usually fall down stairs they use every day and when they do, they usually don’t die. Funny stuff surrounds both deaths. Trump did it all. He’s a murderer, in case you can’t tell from his mess in the Caribbean and west Pacific. He should get the electric chair because that hurts.

Bette G.'s avatar

Her non-disclosure agreement was expiring within days of her death. She was about to spill ALL the beans. I read that her home had an elevator that she used instead of the stairs.

arne link's avatar

Epstein did not commit suicide.

Rosie Vela's avatar

No Way Did Epstein Committed Suicide. I Believe 100% Trump Had Him Killed. Too many deep bruises and 1000’s of cuts all over his body for a suicide no Epstein Fought Like Hell Not To Be Killed. The Coroner Showed How his Neck-bone Was Broken in 3 Places Which Is Impossible For A Hanging. Bill Bar Probably Used His Connections w The U.S. Prisons To Do A Hit Job On Epstein. Or Putin’s Russian Mafia In USA But It Definitely was NO Suicide. #release #epstein #files #unedited

Rosie Vela's avatar

He’s a child murderer & rapist too. Release all the Epstein Files Unedited. Swear In ADELITA. Open Up The Government. Article 2 Section 4 Impeaches Felon 47 + Removes His Administration along with Vance, Mike Johnson, & Nullifies + Reverses All His Appointees, judges, & All of his Deeds like That Hideous ‘Beautiful Bill’ That Steals 700 Billion From Medicare + Destroys Medicaid To Steal Our Money We Paid Into Having Medicare + Social Security All our Lives We Worked To Give Our Money To The Wealthiest Multi-Billionaires like Mark Zuckerberg who Received a check for $23 Billion on the day it passed.

He also tried to have the National Guard that Slept on the Capitol’s Floors To assassinate Biden before he could be inaugurated but thanks to Tips to FBI Who Went To Capitol & Re-Vetted The Nat’l Guard who arrested 27 Of The Nat’l Guard.

Rosie Vela's avatar

2 Nights Before Biden Was To Be Inaugurated I Saw On Twitter’s 4 Chan Site Men In Military From The Nat’l Guard Boast And Guaranteed That Biden Would Never Be Inaugurated bc They including their Sgt. Were Going To Get Rid Of Biden and They Were Going to Crown Trump DICTATOR FOR LIFE. I Told All My Democrats Friends To See 4 Chan For Themselves & Next Day We All Called The FBI Many Times & FBI Went To Capitol & Re-Vetted All Of National Guard & Arrested 27 Men On the Day Before Prez Biden’s Inauguration. I was so happy & relieved to see that Trump & Putin’s Plan Failed.

Rosie Vela's avatar

This is what Trump has been all his life. When I met him by accident in Summer ‘81 w Ivana I also met about 100+ Little Boys ages 5-10 Standing Next to us protesting on the NYC Sidewalks Who were begging Trump & many were crying all Shouting w their signs “STOP HURTING OUR PARENTS!” Trump, Ivana, Me & Artist Peter Max stood Together On the 1st Steps of an outdoor escalator going nowhere for the longest most terrifying hour as Trump stuck his head up in the sky pretending those crying children weren’t right next to us. For an hour in a self-induced Daze Ignoring their cries. Ivana tried to get Trump to say something to calm the situation down but he growled & threatened her. I was so appalled watching him I sensed he was a satanic psycho killer and when the escalator started working again Peter & I Left Rather Than Go To The Black Tie Party We Were Dressed Up For. I Sensed That Trump was dangerously evil like Medusa Who Turned To Stone Anyone Who Looked Her. Those Children Trump Tried To Kill Them + Their Parents Many Times bc They were the Legal Rent-Control Tenants Lived in the 1st Bldg Trump bought at 222 Central Park South in NYC, NY Which Was All Over News + NY Times Published Story On How Trump Was Trying To Murder All His Tenants in Summer ‘81. He Never Changed For The Better Over the Years Only Much Worse. He’s Phoned me 2x on the night before the LA, CA GOP Convention in Summer ‘16 & again on the morning of the GOP Convention & I Am Stunned By How Gross He Spoke After He’d Gotten my Completely Tuned Off IPhone 6 + Turned Back On To Wake Me Up At Midnight Ordering Me To Get Into His Limo w his Assistants he was sending to “Come Meet The Man. Come Meet The Artist.” I Hung Up On Him. Especially since I Never Read or Watched Anything About him bc I knew he was The Devil. Next Day He Called Me Again & This Time He Was Super Nuts bc Instead of talking to me since he phoned me instead he spoke to a room of his sycophants pretending I’d called him chasing after him and he pretended to be talking to me but talking to them as they laughed & clapped at his every word like trained seals do. I was yelling on the phone at him to stop his bs & either speak to me instead of pretending he was talking to me but he never quit his ‘act’ he is Completely Insane. I’ve Never met anyone as wicked or is so criminally insane. He thinks he’s an actor comedian to entertain his folks w all his lies nonstop lies. They Never Knew He Was Lying. I Hung Up On Him Again. I have since learned even more about his Many ESPIONAGE TREASONS HE DID FOR RUSSIA AGAINST ALL LIVES IN USA INCLUDING HIS OWN CLUELESS FOLLOWERS WHO WATCH FOX FAKE NEWS & DON’T READ REAL NEWS. Plus All The Worst Espionage Treasons He Did FOR Russia Against All Lives In U.S. Military That He Did In Early ‘23 When He Was Not Prez. He Sent Putin His Stolen Secret Documents To Russia That Helped Russia To MASS MURDER ALL IN USA MILITARY’s UNDERCOVER AGENTS STATIONED AROUND THE WORLD + OTHERS JUST AS BAD TO HELP RUSSIA TO ATTACK USA THESE ARE WHAT WAS IN JACK SMITH’S DOCUMENTS CASE THE MOST IMPORTANT CASE IN USA HISTORY THAT AILEEN CANNON DELAYED, DENIED, DISMISSED & HID TRUMP’S HORRIFIC ESPIONAGE TREASONS SO NOONE WILL FIND OUT JUST HOW BAD OF A TRAITOR TRUMP IS FOR PUTIN + RUSSIA WHICH IS WHERE HIS LOYALTY LIES.
