    Bold to assume they will allow their power and political survival to be threatened by a democratic and fair process.

  2. This is pleasant fanfiction. I hope it becomes true but there’s not really any reason to believe it will.

  3. DoubtSubstantial5440 on

    Lmao no they won’t, especially if the lets heal and reach across the aisle wing of the Democratic party has anything to say about it

    I’d love to believe this, but ever since 2015 I’ve seen nothing but article after article of “This time Trump will pay!”

    Sexual assault, pedophilia, insurrectionism, bribery, and bypassing congress for most every action have thus far yielded zero meaningful consequences.

  5. Really. I would think that if they were serious about it, they wouldn’t wait that long. By this attitude it seems like they are using the “oh no. Let’s see how much permanent damage he can do first, and then we’ll slap his wrist”.

    Literal fanfiction. Bush’s Hague Invasion Act makes US unaccountable for all their war crimes. As much as we love accountability, it’s the ones with the biggest guns that makes the rules for thee and not for me.

  7. Nope. They will all get away with it because Democrats will want to “reach across the aisle”

  8. The Hague? Who’s going to take them there?

    How are you going to impeach someone who’s out of office?

    At the end of his previous term Trump literally led an unsuccessful coup and faced 0 consequences. He will either die of old age in office or retire to Florida peacefully. It isn’t what should happen, but it will.

    This is massive cope.

    Impeachment is political theater. A joke without the punchline of removal by the Senate.

    Lawsuits take forever and the conservative SCOTUS favors Trump his “official acts.”

    The Hague will never touch the President, even a former one, because of the Hague Invasion Act.

    Trump will do Biden’s sweeping pardons for his cabinet and any other allies. Then he will resign to allow President Vance to pardon him for all his crimes with the same sweeping pardon.

    Wishful thinking.  Wanna believe it but at the moment the evil ones are winning with no end.

    Yeah, none of this is happening. Trump will sail off into the sunset, unless he chooses to remain involved in politics, which wouldn’t be surprising, because he is obsessive.

  13. i wish, but theres no way in hell any of these bags of shit will face any accountability

  14. Wise_Environment_598 on

    Yeah, sure…we have only been hearing similar tales for the last ten+ years.

  15. Creative-Package6213 on

    LOL yeah like these people are ever going to face any serious consequences…

    Henry Kissinger lived a long life with no fear of prison or responsibility. I’ll believe it when I see it.

    The only possible way he could appear in front of the Hague is if Democrats win _everything_ and then serve him up on a platter.  And that’s not going to happen.

  18. He’ll be dead before he faces legal consequences. Our chance to do this has long passed.

    God, I literally just made a comment in another thread about how ridiculous the “Just wait until after midterms” comments have been. Now we’re already moving the goalposts to “Just wait until after he’s out of office”. How far are we going to kick the can down the road next, “Just wait until his grandkids are out of office, then we’ll really do something about him!” 

  20. I’ll believe it when I see it. But until then, I’ll just assume our system is designed to shield the richest and the whitest from consequences of their abhorrent behavior.

  21. 90s_kids_only on

    Wake me up when any miniscule part of this ever happens.  I’ll sleep soundly until death.

  22. Investigate Peter Thiel and Musk while you are at it. And the system that allowed this needs an overhaul.

  23. MisinformationSource on

    Why is the politics sub full of these Weekly World News esque websites?

    I want politics not someone’s fanfic opinion piece.

  24. Petition to ban any posts about “may” articles regarding Trump and his handlers facing consequences

    Your votes will genuinely be meaningless unless you make good examples out of these terrible, terrible people. It doesn’t matter if republicans or democrats win, whatever puppet that is propped up next will continue to serve your corporate overlords till you lap up the last drop of drinkable water on your driveway
