Fulton County, GA prison sounds appropriate! We must extinguish the lies of this clown and put him somewhere where he can do no more harm, otherwise I'll never trust the U.S. legal system again! I'm going to have serious anxiety problems for the next 14 months! :(

I agree, Trump needs to spend the rest of his miserable life in prison. Leavenworth might just do. Or if he wants more sunshine and fresh air, Gitmo has plenty of space. But I think the best we can hope for is house arrest at Mierdalardo without access to golf courses, anti-social media or the omelet bar. And the constant presence of die hard cultists outside the gates chanting "Free Donald Trump".

It really needs to be prison - a mansion is not prison!

That would be better than nothing. Do you suppose he'd consider running for it?

Why not exile to Russia?

Not sure Putin would take him. Out of office he is of no value.

I could vote for this. Maybe Putin would hire him for his cabinet.

😂 I was thinking the Gulag.

Alaska, not Texas. He’ll be going someplace hotter than Texas one of these days!

I agree, but I just don't see real prison in his future. I'm just not optimistic that any judge, not even Chutkin, has the spine for it. I think even if he is convicted, it's more likely that his appeals drag out so long that he succumbs to an heroic Big Mac or burnt steak at the age of 90.

I shouldn’t laugh. I did. I’m positive thinking he will get a comeuppance as well as every silent politician sitting there waiting for someone else to do Justice.

Oh, as for the complicit Republicans, they will pay a severe political price for their silence. And it's coming sooner that they think. I know what the useless pundits are saying about the 2024 election being close, but I think they underestimate the seething anger among Democrats, women, young people and the rest of the non-MAGA majority. Republicans recognize it (even though they can't cross the MAGAs) and that's why they have redoubled their efforts on voter suppression.

Agreed! Trump must absolutely face the consequences of his choices. As should everyone involved.

After 9/11, President George W. Bush famously declared: "You Are Either With Us, Or With the Terrorists"

After the 1/6 Terrorist attack, that now has to be updated to: "You Are Either With the USA Or With Trump."

To me, the line in the speech that said it most clearly was, “you have to fight like hell or you won’t have a country anymore “. That’s exactly what the mob did.

I think we could arrange “field trips” to visit him in prison! The MAGAts will go down “believing” so we may as well turn it into the business model!! Sell Merch and get special permission for “The People” to show their support! We’ll register as a “religion”, then it’s tax FREE! 😂😂😂

"If a Democratic President did what Trump did," Republicans would 100% demand his execution.

A Democratic president would already have been executed.

How about Alcatraz? He needs his own Elba island.

100%. He needs to be treated like anyone else who has committed all of the crimes he's committed. Video of his trials, sentencings, etc. need to be seen around the world to show that we are serious about protecting our democracy.

Yes,Trump should spend 30 years, effectively his lifetime, in jail with no access to internet. If we need to build him a private wing for his secret service detail I could help raise money to cover that.

You are spot on. No internet or phone privileges. Just family visits-- recorded.

Does anyone else wonder if Yuscil Taveras will survive to testify against tRump??

May we suggest Guantanamo? Send all the maga cultists there, with full secret service & FBI "protection" for us & them. No internet access, no co-conspirators, no media pools, no offshore banking. In other times, in other countries, in previous centuries, the penalty for insurrection, rebellion & treason was termination, with no mercy. They will do the same to us, if given a chance, they're openly threatening it.

Let it be so. Makes one wonder who he will buy for his conjugal visits. Lol. Stormy is a no.
