What I want to see ultimately is the personal bankruptcy the entire family-DT, his sons, and his daughter after they lose all those tax related cases, and they're required to pay back all the money they forgot to pay the first time-plus his niece and nephew (children of Fred Jr.) win their lawsuit to claim what they lost when DT decided to cut them out of the will, and every single woman who has ever been harmed by him gets their day in court.

Hey, if it happens sooner rather than later won't hurt my feelings. He attempted to overthrow the United States, there is no punishment too severe for him to pay. I want to see him suffer for all the suffering he made us go through.

We’ll probably see a pathetic attempt to connect with some real money sources (the My Pillow cretin being one obvious such effort) to bankroll a new media entity. But he has the attention span of a gnat and the intellect of a horse fly; he doesn’t have the business sense to make it work. He won’t have the patience or humility to sit on a panel of pundits, having lost the only title he could use to lord it over them and keep the attention on him, his only (ever) goal in life. If he continues to be appropriately humiliated on the way out, he’s out of options. No more limelight.

Yeah, I wonder when the Mercers will move on to someone else.

The Mercers are parked on their yacht(s) in Britain where they have renamed and grown their analytic spyware. Why the Brits don’t send them sailing off is a mystery...

Editorial note: Jimmy Carter is still alive (and every day he lives, he sets another record for US presidents' longevity. He, too, will be missing because he has become too frail to travel.

Lucian, you have been one of my go-to reads for the past 4 years, and I dare say you've given me hope that Rump's "presidency of the daily outrage" would end sooner than later. My guess is that he will flee to one of the few places that will accept him (Russia?, Saudi Arabia?) The lawsuits waiting for him will likely cause him so much stress he'll probably have a coronary. At least, we can hope so.

I just read they found the key to Napoleon’s rooms on St. Helena. In Scotland. That could work.

I dunno. Assuming he manages to stay out of jail, I can see him on a speaking tour creating MAGA brushfires all across the country. All the "respectable" people may shun him, but his deplorables won't.

They like a “winner”. He’s a loser.

True, but they also think he was robbed by the Deep State and all those angry Democrats.

Lucian, are you able to edit? There is a reference to losing the election in ‘2019’

[8th paragraph ]- obviously, an error.

Good catch! Off by one.

Lucian, are you able to edit this? There is a reference [in the 8th paragraph] to Trump losing the election in 2019. Obviously, an error.

Covid 19 was a major factor to sink his ship. Add to that The Capitol attack by stupid poorly dressed white men - and voila- there goes your Legacy of Infamy.

That is IF the Senate puts tRump on trial. Moscow Mitch &friends are not so inclined; Biden wants to move forward. The country is wrecked; the judicial system is sabotaged with Trumpanzee appointments (after seeing them scale the Capitol walls, it’s fair to call them Trumpanzees). So long as “Citizens United” remains in place, there will be no rescue for democracy. The KKKoch Gang of billionaires will maintain their grip. Also, the rules that were put into place by the FCC after the “War of the Worlds” debacle were reversed under Reagan—that has allowed Fox News to perpetuate conspiracy theories, lies and hate speech all over the media. The FCC needs to RE-tighten its rules about appropriate journalism. Rupert Murdoch & family need to find another country, along with their tRump pals.

Notice: Fox has recently re-named it’s “news” outlet. Same BS; just a tad less overtly incendiary.

Unless he keeps on selling intel to our foes. You know he has.

Deutche Bank is getting what it deserves —they’re in bed with the entire cast of Mogilevich puppets. That Mueller Report has been heavily redacted by the GOP with good reason. Just trace the names, starting with the NRA, which laundered money from Russia to feed the GOP, not just Trump’s business.
