I seriously doubt that TFG is done committing felonies.

[milestogo]

His crimes in the second term will be bigger and bolder. Why hold back? He has never been held accountable for ANYTHING and there is no reason to think he EVER will be.

[Johonny]

1. He will commit crimes

It is what he has done his whole life. He has never had any consequences so why would he stop? It is like Putin suddenly starting to obey Russian law.

[Timewas]

2. Doesn't matter

Nothing will be beyond spending a lot of time and money with fake investigations.

[slightlv]

39. Nah.. any and all investigations will be turned towards democrats and independents.

trump can and does get away with everything. I'm convinced trump is the perfect response to "there is no god." If there was a god, trump would not be allowed to be trump; there would be some accountability, some justice. With no god, there are no barriers... just as much evil as he can dream of, and he can dream big when it comes to evil. I fear we're headed back into the Dark Ages for a new Era. I've got a grandson on the gender spectrum to protect, and a group of Pagans who've been together for nearly 30 years to try to shepherd through this. I don't expect "easy" on any of it... and especially because many of us are females... already born behind the 8 ball.

[gab13by13]

3. He can do whatever he wants

With our country’s top secrets, if there are any secrets left?

No foreign assets, no more 5 eyes, no more intelligence from our allies.

[spanone]

4. Of course, now that he has immunity that no president has had before.

[C_U_L8R]

5. Now he knows he has absolute immunity via USSC

He'll do whatever the fuck he wants. Chilling.

[yellow dahlia]

6. I don't call him The Felonious

(Fucking) Grifter, for nothing

[Cirsium]

7. But, but, but

They said he has learned his lesson!

"If a call like that gets you an impeachment, I would think you would think twice before you did it again" - Sen. Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn

“I believe that the president has learned from this case. The president has been impeached. That’s a pretty big lesson. He was impeached. And there has been criticism by both Republican and Democratic senators of his call. I believe that he will be much more cautious in the future.” - Sen. Susan Collins R-ME

"I think that he knows now that if he is trying to do certain things — whether it's ferreting out corruption there, in Afghanistan, whatever it is — he needs to go through the proper channels." -Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa

“I think he’s learned that he has to be maybe a little more judicious and careful, the way he’s phrasing certain things.” - Sen. Shelley Moore Capito R-West Virginia

[milestogo]

9. Yeah, right.

Just like Ted Bundy stopped after his first kill.

[Cirsium]

11. Sarcasm

I hope you realize that was sarcasm.

[milestogo]

21. Yup.

[slightlv]

40. Words mean nothing... just listen to any republican speak.

[marble falls]

8. It's what he does. Breathe and grift.

[calimary]

22. Yep.

[jls4561]

10. He considers it part of his "official duties".

[doc03]

12. His last inauguration speech was insane, imagine what this one will like. nt

[Evolve Dammit]

18. Think he'll do the "weave" and dance?? I shan't be watching

[slightlv]

43. I'm not going to watch, either. I'll be grieving for the loss of my country.

And I'm still not exactly sure what we'll end up doing. Money says we stay put and try to make the best of it, since money is in such short supply and won't be forthcoming anytime soon. But I have friends in WA who'd like to see us move up there, and Goddess knows I'd give anything I have to be able to do that and be with like-minded people. I'm also wondering about a reverse immigration crisis. Just kind of slip in with the deportees and get a free ride South. Maybe we could help make "those" countries better than the U.S. has become.

[Evolve Dammit]

56. Best wishes for whatever emerges as a way to cope.

I'm not sure what we will do. Have friends checking out other countries. Grateful to be in a very blue area at this time. Take care out there

[DET]

13. Done!?

He’s just starting.

[JoseBalow]

14. That fucker is a crime spree in progress

Now add immunity to anything he does

[Evolve Dammit]

15. Just warming up to an unaccountable chaos that he has longed for since 2020. In a week, that is his (and our) reality.

[BidenRocks]

16. New rule

All classified material will be signed out and back in.
Everybody! No exceptions!
We need to upgrade our security.
Don't you agree Donald?

[CloudWatcher]

17. But they won't be felonies!

Because he'll waves his tiny hands and say they were official presidential actions. And we can't possibly enforce the rule of law on the President, only Congress has the power to impeach.

[William Seger]

19. If we take back the House and Senate in '26, he CAN be impeached

[BigMin28]

26. We would have to

have a large majority in the Senate. Repukes will never hold him accountable.

[William Seger]

31. They might, if the public turns against him

I think only a few of them are true cultists, and they're all opportunists looking out for themselves.

Anyway, I'm just trying to avoid totally giving up hope...

[slightlv]

45. Good luck on not giving up hope...

I'm afraid I'm pretty much there. The response from the democrats - pearl-clutching, end of the world as we know it prior to the election, and then go along to get along now just blows my mind and does nothing for my feelings of hope. So many feet of clay from people who'd I thought earned my respect. At my age, I should have known better.

[calimary]

29. Or at least slowed down.

Hopefully there’ll be enough Dems to feel gutsy enough to make it happen.

Genuflecting must NOT be allowed!

[Clouds Passing]

20. Um, duh. Criming is who he is at his core, it's how he thinks, it's how he lives and breathes.

[dchill]

23. Felonies? He calls them "perks."

And apparently, he's not wrong.

[William Seger]

32. Or "spoils"

[dchill]

52. Just desserts.

[BigMin28]

24. The USSC

Gave the psychopath immunity. He no longer has to answer to voters. It will be a free for all as far as him committing crimes. There is no one to stop him now.

[allegorical oracle]

25. He'll probably have to add a room to MALago to hold all the classified docs he'll be

hoarding. They'll be worth a fortune.

[choie]

27. He's most likely committed crimes

Last edited Tue Jan 14, 2025, 10:21 PM - Edit history (1)

during the last four years. The next four will be chilling.

[Norbert]

28. He does not get punished so why should he stop?

[kimbutgar]

30. I hate him so much

He is evil and I hope his wrongdoings catches up to him like a cancer that is malignant and fast moving.

Hitler 2.0

[slightlv]

46. I'm right there with you, Kim.

I actually came out with "I wish I could be the one to slip in and shoot him in the head." BAD, girl! But those are my feelings. And why are they any less valid than what they are saying about us? I'm feeling desperate, frustrated to the max, and wondering why I have to hold myself in when every maga on earth is acting out on their worst instincts? Why shouldn't I feel towards them like this? I've already started popping off, mouth-wise, at the grocery store over trump and prices, and not caring who hears me. I WANT them to live with what we've suffered for the last decade, and I want them to suffer worse because of it. I no longer believe there is any good maga. If you're a maga, you're a domestic terrorist (or at least, one in training), a traitor to your country, and a Russian asset. You're also trash as a personal human being, because that's the way you treat everyone except your maga friends (and how do we know you don't treat them bad, too?!).

I've got the worst of the worst right here, right now, I'm afraid. I bury my Mom tomorrow at the National Cemetery. I feel like I bury my country a few days after that. And, staring 70 in the face in three weeks, there's the recognition that my body can't fight like it used to when I did this the first time around in the 70's. Nor would anyone hire me for anything but walmart greeter. At some point, I may pull myself out of the funk and lay out some kind of plan... but right now, it's just all so overwhelming.

[kimbutgar]

50. I feel your pain sister!

I have been trying myself to feel strong but it’s hard.

My condolences on the loss of your Mother.

I don’t like hating but now I want to puke everytime I see and hear him! I just wanted him to go away and now we have another 4 years of his hellhole rhetoric and hate

And that said, there are jobs for people your age. I am almost 69 and work helping seniors downsize and substitute teach. The senior job is interesting and pays well.You might want to check in your area for these type of jobs. Let me know if you are interested.

[slightlv]

57. I used to work for Harcourt, Brace, Jovanovich, the publishers

Was hired in as an editor, became that and a proofreader, as well as curriculum developer. That's my love, right there. I worked with the Reserves and National Guard on their military training via Blackboard and Sharepoint for 2 decades. Even wrote my own set of lessons for Wicca 101 and 102 using Moodle. It might be such a thing that the Council on Aging could point me someplace that needs my skill sets.

Once I see the lay of the land with the holy rollers around here, I'd love to start doing card readings again. I once paid by rent that way, and believe me, I didn't charge anywhere near what readers are charging these days! (LOL) But I'm very careful because my multiple cats make me a target in the city, as does "guilt by association" with my group. I need to know the bad old days of throwing us in jail because we held a circle service in our front room are over with... and I'm not sure of that right now. But so far, my website stays up, and I'm in the process of helping another pagan get his online without the PII usually associated with it.

The latest chapter of my life wrapped up this afternoon. We had a small service for my Mom, and she was buried next to Dad at the National Cemetery. The guide even talked to me about planning a plot for me, and for my husband when his time comes. I think it'd be a neat thing to make one small section of the cemetery actually look like a "family plot", simply because of our military service! I'm also kinda keeping my ears and eyes open on what could come available at Joint Base McChord. While you've got some old civilian managers who can't make the jump into the 21st century, the military is a good place for older experienced people to find a home away from home with a job. If trump and hegsmith can keep from ruining it completely.

[Cirsium]

55. Perfectly understandable

Your thoughts and feelings are perfectly understandable.

Sorry to hear that you lost your Mom.

[Irish_Dem]

33. Trump is a vicious, ruthless psychopath who has been given total immunity for any crimes he commits.

And is the most powerful man in the world and a desire to be the richest man in the world too.

He is also bent on revenge and loves to dish out chaos and dysfunctionally.

He hurts people because he can.

Giving Trump all this power and total immunity is like giving a heroin addict unlimited drugs.

[Bettie]

44. Except a heroin addict

would overdose and that would mitigate the damage he could do.

[surfered]

34. It's habitual because he gets away with it.

[Buddyzbuddy]

35. We need to win control of the legislature.

The Senate and the House. We can slow down or better yet, stop new legislation. We can also hold the new administration accountable and control the purse strings.

[julmur]

36. Dems

Not going to happen, we’ve been abandoned by the Democratic establishment

[slightlv]

47. Gods, how much do I agree with you!

And thank you for putting to words what I've been thinking. I feel betrayed by those I campaigned for, gave what little discretionary money I had, and pushed GOTV for years. For having so little, whatever I did to help hurt me and the family. Where are our thanks? Where are those people standing up and fighting for us? And Fetterman is going to Mar a lago? Man... what a frackin' disappointment. And he's just the first off the top of my head. Feet of clay, indeed. Too worried about their own jobs and money to be concerned about their constituents' situations. I'm at the point of the old saying about politicians... kill 'em all and let god sort them out. I swear, we'd do better off breaking into tribal regions, with each region a self-governing entity... no politics; no government, per se. Maybe out of that chaos, some justice and order could come about. That's basically where my head is leaning these days. Cause all I see right now is Lord of the Flies.

[Buddyzbuddy]

54. I understand that you might feel that way, but

it's the other way around. The voters didn't come through with their votes. Which left us without our chosen leaders. I hope you change your mind sometime and join the fight.

[patphil]

37. I've lived in the NYC area for over 50 years. Trump has always been a shady character, just like his dad.

He's actually a lot like a crime boss; fully immersed in criminal activities all his life.
And he's always had a lot of enablers around him; people who gave him the free pass, or at best a slap on the wrist. Now, with all he has gotten away with over the past 8 years, he's going to be a lot bolder and more upfront with his arrogant dismissal of the rule of law as it should be applied to him.
And just like a crime boss, he rules through fear. Even at it's best, he's always been transactional. "I'll do you a favor if you do one for me".
The next 4 years will be his crowning achievement as it applies to a lifetime of dedication to graft and corruption.

[slightlv]

48. On New Years Eve, some friends and I did

card readings for the year to come. Man... let me tell you, THAT took courage to get through! But I saw we'd have 6-9 months of absolute horror with trump... and then he's going down. And it will be a woman who takes him down. I don't know if it's legally, mentally, or just pushing him over the edge to death... but I saw it. And one of my friends said she's been picking at podcasts of other readers and they were basically saying the same things I saw in the cards. I hope we're right. For me, who has been reading for 40+ years, the "worst" card in a Tarot deck is NOT the Death card. It's the Tower card. And boy, was that damned tower falling all around trump. The destruction of anything and everything he's built up to now. I do hang on to that in my darkest hours, and try not to engender karma to myself (gryn).

[patphil]

49. Yeah, I did little Tarot reading when I was young, and i agree that the Tower card is very devastating.

It can be a fall from fame or fortune, or a fall from illusions that a person has clung to; anything that brings you back down to earth in a not-to-gentle manner.
Trump has built this great "Trump Tower" around himself. It would be good to see him fall from it.

[relayerbob]

38. Done? He's barely started.

[johnnyfins]

41. I have been wondering lately

If Susan Collins is concerned again...

[Bettie]

42. Haven't you heard?

He has a special pass....anything he does is legal according to his buddies on the SCOTUS.

[OAITW r.2.0]

51. He's just getting started,,,,and he don't give a fuck.

[Aussie105]

53. He will ramp it up.

Getting away with his past crimes gives him, in his own mind, a free pass to do it again and on a bigger scale.

He needs to be stopped now, or be prepared to suffer the consequences.

[Initech]

58. Oh he's just getting started. He will reach Bond villain levels of evil this term.

And this time, there won’t be anyone to stop him, either.
