    This seemed to be popular information when I posted it (ahem) “elsewhere”. Thought it might be welcome to have here.

    If you’re trying to keep track of where we’re at in the Trump prosecutions:

    Updated 7/27/2023

    (Trump has been sent a “Target Letter” indicating he is under investigation and has been given until July 20th, 2023 to appear before the grand jury.)

    Sentencing

    Arrest
    Trial
    Conviction
    Sentencing

    Other grand juries, such as for the documents at Bedminster, have not been announced.

    The E. Jean Carroll trial for sexual assault and defamation where Trump was found liable and ordered to pay $5 million before immediately defaming her again resulting in a demand for $10 million is not listed as it’s a civil case and not a crimimal one.

    By “rock Trump world” I think they meant make absolutely no difference to anyone wrapped in right wing propoganda blankets. Tuning in last night it was about how the left is “grasping at straws” going after the poor “janitor”

      Was going to post almost the exact same comment. This changes literally nothing for about 20% of the country. If anything, they will just double, and triple and quadruple-down on him being a martyr and these are all politically motivated charges.

          Republicans represent roughly 1/3 of the registered voters. 43% of that would represent roughly 15% of the entire country.

            This breakdown of voters should be included in every disclaimer on ever poll that’s comes out online, in the news, or on the radio. That’s not a small number of people, but it is a SIGNIFICANT minority and the country needs to not be held hostage by 15% of the population.

              Totally agree and this is where our low voter turn-out really kicks us in the ass. These MAGAts vote and vote often. They might “only” represent 15% of voters, but if their rate of voting is 2X what other groups are, then they could easily represent 30% of the actual ballots cast. That is easily enough to swing elections in their favor… and all because regular folks are too lazy to go vote.

                “Regular folks are too lazy,” to stand in line for hours, or were blocked by shitty regressive laws to block student votes, or their polling place was changed twice in a year, or any other of the myriad cheating mechanisms regressives have baked into the system.

                  Spoken like someone who has never voted because the reality is that the vast, vast majority of voting goes perfectly smoothly and is accomplished within a few minutes. But by all means continue to talk out of your ass and simply regurgitate the usual bullshit endlessly reposted on Reddit and Lemmy.

            And yet, they keep winning congressional seats and Mayoral races. I wonder why that is… /s

                  If this is going to be some conspiracy theory nonsense, then you can just go ahead and keep it to yourself.

                  Politics isn’t quite easy, but it isn’t really that difficult either. It’s kind of like sports - you get the most points you win.

    Did they really though? One extra guy caught up in all this, but it’s just sort of par for the course for Trump world. They’ll just keep denying, deflecting, and calling out the “Biden Crime Family”. I’ll believe Trump world is thoroughly “rocked” if/when Trump goes to prison.

        They actually really love their martyrs in that group. At this point, Trump has probably outlived his usefulness as an active politician in the GOP and he’s much more useful to the party as a symbol and a martyr (assuming he can’t steal the 2024 election). He’s their new Ronald Reagan, the standard that new GOP leaders and faithful are judged against. Their new slogan may as well be WWTD? (What Would Trump Do?), because that’s how they’ll frame everything for the next decade or two.

      There’s a roadside attraction I drove past recently in the northern part of Michigan called trump land. Had signs and shrines on both sides of the road. I truly do not understand how people can be that batshit insane and still be allowed in civilized society.

        ah this is the theory that we should just let him stage coups, pilfer classified docs, and commit crimes without any impediments because his insane (literally) base doesn’t care and will vote even harder than they would have voted. OK. Yeah, I see your point.

        I think he’s getting down voted because it seems like they are suggesting that we don’t pursue criminal charges just because he’s a rich political figure. And running for office is an excuse for not pursuing charges just because they are a popular choice for some. Especially the since the evidence that is out there seems to be very strong and compelling… And that’s just the public info.

        Public servants (police and such) and political figures should be held to a higher standard not a lower standard, regardless of what political side they are on. And the rich and powerful should be held to an equal standard as the poor.

          Well, given pretty much all voter fraud found was Trumpies trying to vote for him multiple times the dude’s dad can certainly try. Probably fail, but try
