So what’s your current take on the chances that the orange turd will get prison time, Frankster?
I want to check with you and a couple others periodically - as different wrinkles in his several cases unfold (like the recent flips) - to see if your opinion about his ultimate fate is changing.
Over the course of the last 6 months, my feeling has gone from about a 10% chance that they’ll lock him up, to now about 25%.
My mind has changed and modified so often on this issue, that I am almost ashamed of myself. But it is a situation we've really never seen before, so I give myself a lot of leeway.
I do not estimate the chances of him actually seeing the inside of a prison cell at much more than 25%...so we are not far apart on that point. I want to emphasize that has to do much more with logistics (and international optics) than with whether or not he richly deserves a very, very long time in the joint.
I tend to lessen the anger I feel about that by aknowledging that a personality like Trump will suffer almost as much with some of the things that will be used in place of actual prison confinement.
House arrest in very moderate accommodations (something that may well be an alternative)...with exceptionally restricted visitation by others...would be a scourge for him. Absolutely NO GOLF whatsoever...is another thing that only a regular golfer can appreciate as a torturous punishment. Fact is, a plain porcelain toilet is probably something he would loathe...and combine that with requiring the use of the waxed paper they use for toilet tissue in prisons would up the ante as punishment.
He should get more. Years in prison are not really enough as punishment for what he has done. But I have difficulty seeing it certain that it will come to that.
Lotta **** going down right now. My guess is that he is going through plenty of punishment just reading newspapers or listening to news shows.
