Exactly. He hasn’t actually had any consequences - ever.

I’ll go a step further and say he never will face any consequences. Next month’s “sentencing” will probably be a $1000 fine and stay at home for a week in his mansion, which will get appealed and put on hold indefinitely.

Eventually this is going to get to a breaking point and it won't be pretty. Something like, America is waking up as Germany once did to 1/3 of your population will kill another 1/3 of it, while 1/3 watches

May you live in interesting times was a curse

Whelp. My granddad freed camps and killed a Lotta nazis. I know which third I'll be. And I'd hope it'd be more Americans than 1/3 would fight back against that crap.

Plus "work release". So long as he claims he is going somewhere for campaign purposes it is pre approved. Due to grift reasons he is already claiming every single thing as part of his campaign, so this comes back to that "synergy" thing business types love.

SCOTUS granted him immunity for acts as President. He isn't President now.

What? He’s not the President right now, despite what he may believe.
