On Jan 6th, Trump went from a lifetime in the minor leagues to the major leagues.

[fightforfreedom]

Many people bring up the fact Trump has gotten away with crimes his whole life. They fear it will happen again. Trump spent a lifetime playing games with his taxes, scamming people, etc. He had the money, the lawyers to protect him.

On Jan 6th, Trump tried to overthrow the Government and recently was caught stealing top secret documents. This is as bad as it gets. It doesn't compare to what he did in the past. Trump went too far, crossed a line of no return. He and all his enablers are going down. They are fucked.

It appears many people are talking to the DOJ. Rudy and Eastman are going to be indicted. The fake electors scheme is going to nail everybody. Both at the State and Federal level. There is no telling what is going to happen in the stolen secret documents investigation. That will most likely not end well for Trump.

Welcome to the majors Trump.

1. it's what happens when people are not held accountable

they just keep going and going.....

[fightforfreedom]

3. The power of the presidency definitely went to Trumps head. God complex.

So typical of a narcissist.

[PatSeg]

15. Absolutely

A lifetime of getting away with corruption just emboldened him to take risks and shoot higher. Once he got to the White House, he had reached the top and began to feel invincible. There's no way he was about to let it go. Where was there to go after that?

Some people get caught and learn from their mistakes. The few times Trump got caught, it just made him determined to try harder next time. Maybe it is because he honestly doesn't believe he can be successful without cheating.

13. Precisely!

It emboldens them to go further as they know there will be no penalty to pay. The torrent of criminality we’re now dealing with demonstrates irrefutably that when there are no consequences for rampant, wanton lawbreaking and, as Brandeis said memorably, “the Government becomes lawbreaker,” it teaches others to follow and the rot spreads like a plague that is now threatening
to destroy our public institutions and, worse, obliterate the public’s already faltering trust in them. This is why, in my view, it was a fatal error not
to prosecute all of Nixon’s henchmen even after Ford pardoned Tricky Dicky. Some of them were then emboldened to violate the law to perpetrate Iran Contra, and the pardon of key players in that orchestrated by none other than Billy “ain’t no bar low enough I won’t slither under” Barr, led to some of those conspirators being able to masquerade as respectable former public “servants” who, when returned to positions of power, intentionally furnished the lies that gave us over two million dead human beings in the illegally launched Iraq war. This chain of events taught unscrupulous people that if you acquire the awesome power of government you can egregiously break the law, and treaties our country’s people paid for in blood and you’ll be just fine! Then when the ultimate criminal, Mango Mussolini, came along there were few willing able to do what was required and enforce the law or even, in these cases, follow the law although thankfully enough good people did to save us on January 6 and afterwards from the ultimate calamity. That said, the opportunity still exists to begin to change this culture of lawlessness, which we absolutely must if we’re to continue to have a government of laws not corrupt men, by prosecuting or otherwise punishing EVERYONE who assisted Donnie Demento in his gleeful sociopathic shredding of the constitution and every federal statute he could flush down his foul toilet 🚽 And I fervently hope that process is now underway as recent events seem to suggest 🤞🏼

17. letting repukes get away with lying their way into a war is indeed a prime example

you are correct: un-fucking-believable

[Walleye]

2. A bunch of amateurs took over the White House for four years

I think when Republicans say less government they mean less competent government

[ARPad95]

4. "I think when Republicans say less government they mean less competent government"

BINGO! WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER!

Republicans in power surround themselves with minions who have low IQ and low (or absent) critical thinking skills for a reason. When things go to hell in a handbasket (full of their deplorables), they always have someone else to blame and get to paint even functioning government with a very wide IT'S-ALL-BAD brush.

[Walleye]

5. Listening to Republicans call into Washington Journal this morning.Holy cow, they are dumb!

[vlyons]

6. they surround themselves with people of low ethical morality

They see gov service as a huge trough from which to feed off gov taxes and privilege for themselves and their friends.

[Dread Pirate Roberts]

7. But he can market a whole new line of products!

Trump prison products. Trump toilet wine, Trump shivs (don't get into a prison fight without one), Trump toilet paper tattoos.....

8. Trump, in his 4 years in office, did tremendous damage to our country.

He put Magats all throughout government who need to be weeded out. He was prepared to get us out of NATO. He ruined our relationships with our allies and strengthened relationships with our enemies.

Thank God for President Joe Biden. He is responsible for keeping NATO united and now for expanding NATO. President Biden has restored integrity and competence in our government.

What Trump did with the classified documents will take years to undo. Our allies are going to be hesitant to share information with us, the only way to restore trust with our allies is to hold Trump and his traitorous cronies accountable. I guarantee that the FBI will not ever recover all of the stolen classified documents, some are gone to the highest bidder, some may have been copied. There is video of people moving the classified documents in and out of the storage room, they very well could have been copying them and then returning the originals.

Trump still uses the Presidential seal, and nothing is done to stop him. Where I worked, our company put up a flagpole with the American flag, and at the top we put the Letter B, standing for our company's name. A vendor who was a member of the Ruptured Ducks told my boss that we were disrespecting the flag by having a B at the top. We took down the pole and replaced the B with a ball, Trump still displays the Presidential seal.

12. Yes

Thank God for President Joe Biden. He should be sitting at home now relaxing in his retirement years and instead he rallied to the cause and he’s here bailing us all out. By all I mean the whole country as he cleans up the mess that national disgrace left behind. Hopefully it won’t be long that TFG gets his just do in the course of the legal system finally making him accountable for such things as insurrections, stealing top secret documents including SCIF material etc, and we don’t have to worry about the orange monster ever getting back into office again.

9. We have seen the caliber of his lawyers

How did he get away with everything?

His lawyers are terrible.

10. Give it time something else will show up Trump is still Breathing.

11. Cooperstown, here he comes!

First ballot choice for the Hall of Lame, the Hall of Maim, the Hall of Shame.
