The guy that lead the lock her up chant at the republican national convention was actively committing crimes when he lead that chant. He is now a convicted felon. A criminal. A convict.
What. An. Asshole.

(38,477 posts)Sure the small asshole is an asshole, but Trump may be the biggest "asshole" in the world. He believes no one will ever get him. That he and his family, "are immune" to consequences. But that is how Mueller works to get the biggest, most criminal asshole around.....and I know who that is, "Donald Trump"

(9,001 posts)Ironic that the most disruptive ahole ever may walk away without prison time.
But hey, unity and compromise.
That one way street that dems frequent.
Hope I am wrong but it's on the cards.

(9,689 posts)He will likely claim that as proof of his innocence, that it was a "witch hunt" after all. I can see it now: "No collusion, no collusion, no collusion", with his base eating that up.
Damn, I'm sick of him and his ilk.

(51,717 posts)When I think of all the people who are in jail for jaywalking while smoking a joint I get furious. He deserves some jail time, even if it is just a slap on the wrist.

(30,803 posts)we could end up with President Ryan. It could happen that fast. Our democracy is nearly destroyed, and it has been only two years.

(602 posts)Ryan has had a consistent air of unconcerned idleness now for at least 6-8 months. If the Republican congress leadership is indeed active co-cobspirators, then it stands to reason that they would be folded in on counter-measures in the face of Trump and Pence being removed from office.
It would mean that they planned for Ryan to ascend to the presidency, and probably had at least a cursory draft of the most efficient way to streamline the transfer of power.
Ryan doesn't look like he doesn't care, he seems instead to be biding his time.
