      Imagine waking up to that turd every single day for years. Melania is an idiot to waste her life with him. But she deserves it.

        I almost felt sorry for her when I saw her facial expressions change the way they do when Donald looks at her then looks away and she looks so unhappy to put up with him… then I remembered that she knew what she signed up for and deserves all the misery she experiences being married to that bloviating fool.

    Dudes gonna have the shakes bad behind those bars, lol.

    He also gets to be tried for fraud while in jail lmao.

    Wouldn’t that be delicious if he’s found guilty and remanded into custody until sentencing and never leaves jail?

    Employment is not a preclusion to imprisonment. If he wanted to stay out of prison maybe he should think about that before breaking the law and ignoring a congressional subpoena. If he didn’t want it to happen during an election why did he appeal for 2 years first?

      Because he wanted it to happen during the campaign/election. They’re doing this shit on purpose.

    That’s why he needs to be in prison, in the cell right next to Trump.

    Maybe he should have thought about that before committing crimes.

      He seems to do a pretty good job creating rage media. Trump needs the hype and Bannon runs the shit shop.

    There’s a weird part of me that wants this to work only if trump goes to prison anyway. I just want him in there fuming about his friend being out.

    Maybe it should be the opposite. The waitress at Denny’s is not exactly in a position of power so keeping them out of jail is no great risk to the public. Someone working on a campaign for president, and presumably could hold a White House position, is far more dangerous. The degree of power is the degree it should be regulated.
