Trump isnt even the first President to be arrested (allegedly). Wonder how small the cuffs will have to be to fit his tiny, tiny hands.

Galloping Grant: the day a sitting president of the US was arrested | US news | The Guardian

Quote

In 1872, President Ulysses S Grant was nicked for speeding in his horse-drawn carriage.

The arrest of the 18th president, at the corner of 13th and M streets in Washington DC, was not for “a high crime, but it was – at least theoretically speaking – a misdemeanor”, the Washington Post reported.

The policeman who arrested Grant was a Black civil war veteran, William H West. In 1908, West told his tale to the Washington Evening Star.

More AI art of U.S. Presidents. This time the prompt was what if every president was a supervillain.

Who could have ever predicted this? Oh, wait, everyone:

 

To quote an associate of mine’s reaction to this—the feigned protest is hard to keep up.

People will still act obtuse until and possibly after Desantis bans “instruction” of sexual orientation and gender identity in state college.

Thank you for that link.  The point is well made, well considered, and ultimately apolitical.  All laws will have unanticipated blow back.  Because people get creative when new laws are enacted.

I haven't kept up with US plotics. I gather he's still not indicted?

Not at the moment, but at this point I'd give it a better than 50% chance of an indictment coming down in the next few weeks.  Whether they can get a conviction...that's a lot more up in the air.

I just saw a report on CNN saying there’s a closed court hearing about to start where Corcoran, Trump’s lawyer, is going to try to block Pence’s testimony to the grand jury investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection, on the basis of Trump/Pence discussions being protected privileged conversation.
