And They Thought They Could Get Away With It All

[Me.]

Russia, Saudi Arabia, hush money, the inaugural, taxes, condos, university and the entire 30 years of dirty dealing, cheating, lying, stealing, the blood on their hands, the stealing of children from their families, all of it and... being the bottom of the bottom of the bottom to quote Deutsch. And now it's all beginning to crumble around them. The long arm is bending towards justice and karma is walking up the pathway to make a long overdue knock on the door.

Happy Holidays...rest up because the New Year is going to be a doozy.

1. know why they thought they could get away with it?

Because for decades, they have.

[a kennedy]

2. Exactly, and come Mueller, and or January, THEY'RE GOING TO PAY ONE WAY OR ANOTHER.

Prison orange will look great on ALL of them.

[Me.]

6. Quite Right

Now it looks like we're going to have a 'salad bar' of indictments

[Hassler]

3. Worst day of Dodgy Don's life--November 8, 2016. If he'd lost, he could have kept stealing. Now it's

All going to crash and burn.

[Me.]

9. ...

10. 'Be careful of what you wish for' Mr. trump.

[NastyRiffraff]

62. He initially thought he'd lose

He wanted to use a presidential campaign as a boost to his " brand" until Russia stepped in and showed him how he could actually win. They may have actually blackmailed him into working with them to win the presidency. Or appealed to his bloated vanity, or both.

I truly believe he's losing any sense of reality he may have once had. He's in denial, but part of him must know he's going down.

[TwistOneUp]

73. I agree but...

The 2016 election was a license for him to steal, and while they were leaving a trail of evidence, it wasn't a large trail and the stuff forensic auditors could legally turn up (and thus be used in court) wasn't all that damning - *while da GOP had all three* (Pres, House n Senate.) But when the 2018 shtupping ... er, I mean, election gave us da House, that's when they knew they were toast.

Typically, people with enough smarts, good attorneys, and wise, true friends will choose to do something legal but only available to the wealthy and powerful, so as to cut down their competition. If they get caught doing something wrong that is minor, they have great odds for being able to get away with it with only a slap on the wrist(s) and a manageable fine negotiated through their powerful connections.

However, the Grifters and Oligarchs party chose to take money and commit non-trivial crimes, which requires that they *keep* all three until the relevant statues of limitations wear out. Having lost the House and with the House having subpoena power, the only thing Cheetolini can do is redact and destroy evidence that will eventually be uncovered. And golly gee, dat's a crime, too.

So my very minor feedback about you noting the worst day of his life: yes, you are correct, and it was that way for about 2 years. Then that day was superceded by 2018/11/08.

And when ya look at it the right way, it appears like one big path that, once started, ya can't get off. Like joining a gang. License to steal? Here ya go, but don't do it, or you're headed down a path of criminality that doesn't end until you get caught. So once you start, you're guaranteed to lose.

And why bothah? It's quite easy for a Stable Genius to make money these days. Why bothah running a grifter gang? How much fscking money do you need?

Sheesh, what a loser.

40. Grrreat!

[SunSeeker]

17. Me too! The 2016 holidays were the worst. I am actually in a good mood this year!

[Cha]

41. Yes! I'm doing things

like I haven't done in a long time. Like stringing multi-colored mini lights around my kitchen window and tying Holly sprigs in a big Scottish Plaid Bow around my front door knocker.

So Festive! SunSeeker

[SunSeeker]

46. I think it's because we have hope again.

We've been watching this blatant, rampant, in-your-face Trump corruption and wondering how the fuck he and his sycophant Republicans were getting away with it.

Now that the law is finally catching up with them, we have hope that the rule of law will prevail. We have hope that there will be a better tomorrow. That is getting us in a festive mood.

[Cha]

49. Yes! All that and the

Big BLUE WAVE The Democratic Party Pulled OFF!

Grateful!

[SunSeeker]

51. Yes, that gives me hope too!!

[malaise]

61. Even the Chief Justice found his mouth after the blue wave

I'm lovin' it.

[volstork]

5. 2019 will go down in American history

as a watershed year for our Republic (if we can keep it, and it looks more and more like we can...).

[Cha]

50. Indeed!

[XRubicon]

8. If it wasn't for those meddling kids.

[TSheehan]

64. Those meddling journalists, intelligence agencies, prosecutors, and law enforcement!

[sheshe2]

11. Justice.

[malaise]

13. Love it

[sheshe2]

14. Hey, malaise.

[SunSeeker]

18. Perfect. nt

[sheshe2]

20. Thanks.

Just posted it as an OP.

31. She Does

[sheshe2]

38. Yep.

She does.

[malaise]

12. They really thought they could get away with it

They will learn.
Many will be heading for prison

[YessirAtsaFact]

52. #MAGA-Many are going away

Hopefully for years

[malaise]

60. Most excellent

[sarcasmo]

15. Because grifter Trump has gotten away with the grift all his life.

[BigmanPigman]

16. Unfortunately a lot of the harm has been done

to innocent individuals and can't be undone. People are still stupid and vote against their best interests. Another tRump could be voted in next election cycle. They will never change.

https://www.rawstory.com/2017/08/a-psychological-analysis-of-trump-supporters-has-uncovered-5-key-traits-about-them/

What we must do is make real, permanent changes to the constitution. We need to make it so that criminal presidents can be indicted and jailed. We need to get the Fairness Doctrine back, eliminate corporations donating to politicians and campaigns, etc. Finally, we must really punish Putin and make sure that he and other dictators are held accountable, etc. Putin committed cyber warfare and that is a form of war (2016 version). Hillary even said so during her book tour.

[Scotch-Irish]

54. Making our elections as un-hackable as our cell phones would be a good start.

Hell, it's more secure to pay your cable tv bill online than to vote!

[BigmanPigman]

55. That must be dome ASAP!!!!!

47. Yes indeed. nt

68. Yes!

Daddy's little princess needs an orange jumpsuit.

[Honeycombe8]

23. Hubris. Goes to show...they've been getting away with this for decades.

So they thought, same ol' same ol', when it came to continuing their corruption in the White House. Instead of the awe of being able to influence the world and country in a good way, make human existence better, help people and the country...instead they saw more opportunities to make money from corruption! More power! More political contacts and power to use for personal gain!

The hubris of it all. They weren't afraid of getting caught, or if caught, that anyone would dare hold them accountable for their corruption and TREASON.

Trump really should be in prison. Really.

[maddiemom]

24. I'm still waiting for Trump's specifics as to why she's "Crooked Hillary."

Was it Trump's unfounded accusations about the Clinton Foundation (his usual projection, as HIS foundation was the one in trouble). Or was it the e-mails? For as much as he used that term (Crooked H), he usually just brought/brings up "her server."

[betsuni]

45. This is what Hillary says in "What Happened":

"When I finally challenged Bernie during a debate to name a single time I changed positions or a vote because of a financial contribution, he couldn't come up with anything. Nonetheless, his attacks caused lasting damage, making it harder to unify progressives in the general election and paving the way for Trump's 'Crooked Hillary' campaign."

Trump first used the term 'Crooked Hillary' on April 12, 2016.

[SunSeeker]

48. Yep. nt

[Cha]

53. Thank You,

betsuni

[betsuni]

56. You're welcome.

Also, it can never be repeated enough that Hillary was confirmed by fact-checkers to be more honest than any of her 2016 opponents.

May 13, 2016: Sanders refers to Clinton as "the lesser of two evils."
June 3, 2016: Susan Sarandon says Hillary is "more dangerous than Trump."

[betsuni]

58. I fully support Debra Messing.

Ironically, Sarandon fits the stereotype of the wealthy out-of-touch coastal elite people like her accuse Democrats of being.

[Cha]

59. Yes, well they accuse others

what they are.

[Me.]

63. Wow Neera!

69. I know, Neera needs

25. Who wants to write the script for THIS movie?

My guess is that there are perhaps 3 dozen prominent script writers who are working 20 hours a day to put together the script that will finance their lives well into the future. This is the big story of a generation, of a nation. This is the biggest story.

[Siwsan]

27. They can call trump*'s bio-pic "Orange is the new Orange"

[NJCher]

43. OMD!

As an Orange/Black fan, that remark had me laughing!

[calguy]

28. From the White House to the Big House

[not fooled]

44. At least one of these films

should be a comedy. A very black comedy. There are just so many ridiculous aspects of the con and his coterie that are ripe for satirization.

[George II]

65. Under investigation:

trump campaign
trump transition
trump inauguration
trump administration
trump organization
trump foundation

He said that during the campaign "if you vote for Clinton, you'll get a president under investigation on day one."

He was right, I voted for Clinton and we got a president under investigation on day one.

[Me.]

66. "He was right, I voted for Clinton and we got a president under investigation on day one"
