When Trump is indicted there will be celebrations. When Trump is convicted, there will be free

parties for everyone. Not riots, just celebrations that they Slobfather goes to jail. [or wherever the hell he goes).

Trump is a traitor, plain and simple. He is also someone who had a chance to the right thing, and he called it "a hoax"
Donald Trump needs a nice quiet prison to celebrate his conviction.

And, I will have one of those parties...!!!!

… a “death watch” of sorts in the park across the street from the White House, and the writer thought it was “surreal” that the crowd chose to sing “Ding Dong the Witch is Dead.” Living as I did in Honolulu at the time, I wished I could have been there — and hating Nixon as I did, I didn’t think it was a surreal choice at all.

So Maggie Thatcher was serenaded that way as well? It fits.

Maybe, just maybe, if the oligarchy is truly done with trump, they'll let the conviction ride. I don't want to take that chance.

The top priority is fixing the Court. Impeach, investigate, pressure, whatever. They're killing the country. This is why we hire politicians. They're supposed to know how to do these things. The QOP always seems to know the ropes.

I won't let my guard down until the extreme court lets hium rot in jail.

But I will smile at the perp walk.
