Can some of these fuckers start going to prison in 2026?
They will be pardoned if before then.
Or sooner
You need to show your political power is greater than his political power for the institutions to listen.
Every political figure has their own unique mana bar, their own special following of varying degrees of power, but Trump’s mana bar is different.
Trump’s base is not remotely the American majority, but they are the most mana-dense group out there. They are pure, raw, power to exert political will. Not as individuals, they’re stupider than soggy drywall as individuals. As a group, they have all the cards because they are:
United no matter who is part of the group. No entry requirements other than loyalty.
Guaranteed loyal. Trump can tell them to jump, they jump. Trump eats a baby on TV, they will wear “Eat the baby” T-shirts the next day. Trump says “storm the capitol” to prove to Congress and Senate that he has them on a leash and they even do that.
Patriotic, they carry the flag. The left is largely anti-jingoism, but in the world-stage, flags have power. Patriotism is team-power. When we abandoned the flag we gave up a large swath of power.
Armed and are violent. Again, you see this as anti-social and harmful, and on a community level it often is, but in the political landscape where there is no actual such thing as “law” having an armed group of loyalists is how nations have been built and preserved for literally thousands of years.
The longer Trump’s cabinet and administration can hold onto this group, the more they can do to pilfer the reserves and get their backers and sponsors filled with sweet, sweet sacks of cash in the form of deregulation and tax breaks.
The thing is, like with so many cases like this in history, it’s entirely constructed on the shaky foundation of one person’s “charm” and ability to hold onto their attention spans or lack thereof.
As soon as Trump keels over, which could literally be at any moment, this political mana will start to disperse. This is why you’re starting to see a lot more Vance on programs, a lot more Bannon and Miller, a lot more of the generals and enablers each trying to secure some fleeting drop of that mana. I do not think people like Vance are going to be able to control even a fraction of the power that Trump commanded, but it could be a long, long time before any of them face any consequence if they do at all.
Congratulations, you now understand “political capital” in the nerdiest way I can explain it.
We award you no points. In your rant you mentioned Steve Bannon once. Like so many others that suffer from “Trump derangement syndrome.” You veered off topic to relate everything to Trump. And now im talking about him again dang it. I dont like it either.

Okay? I said he mentioned Bannon once
“he?”
You need to slow down entirely my friend. Just slow down. Life isn’t a race to the end of every comment, every conversation, every internet debate, etc.
Omgoodness… oh precious.
Im actually gas lighting you.bim my original comment i said that he(shezilla) didn’t mention Steve Bannon, but then I edited my comment to say that he(shezilla) mentioned him once. But I hadnt… I dunno… im a self doubting asshole.
Prison? I was hoping for public executions
Upvoted this and it was the 47th one. Feels good
Best I can offer is healing wounds, looking forward and moving on together. We need a strong show of bipartisan support, not a witch hunt.
/s
Phew! I thought you were going to offer thoughts and prayers.
Good, I was worried we’d be dwelling on the past
Me too. The catharis from seeing the moment of shock and fear just as the guillotine’s blade touches the skin on their neck will make all of this worth it.
I was hoping more for a Mussolini style upside down hanging in public where anyone who wishes to can desecrate their corpses.
The Ceaușescu look if you will
Oh he thinks he’s only getting prison?
Sadly yes but he will die there so 🤷♂️
A perfectly normal thing to say
lol traitors don’t get the luxury of prison.
Some of you are going to prison again regardless…
He doesn’t need to worry, there won’t be a democratic win in a big election ever again.
And even IF for some miracle it would happen, they are so milquetoast that they would probably give out blanket immunity “for the sake of not dividing the nation further”It really depends on what happens with Democrat leadership over the next few years. If enough progressives manage to actually wrest control from the octogenarians, including by means of winning primaries like Mamdani, then we may see greater interest in some degree of accountability. Whether that’s prison time or something else, who knows.
It depends not just on them but how many people get active and get others active to do too. Thats what will get the people to win
Even so many progressive democrats still won. We just need to make sure ways to votes are not tampered with and to not using the voting machines they bought
That’s so cute that you think you have any way of doing that.
Seriously? Many people are getting things done. You need more hope & to see the reality that we are kicking their asses regardless of any setbacks.
“Do you want a better world or not?” is the fundamental question. If you enjoy life, life with other people, and people making things for us all to enjoy that is new/better maintain what we already have then you should want people to succeed in every way.
More people get active by the day as well.

does this have a !RemindMe in 3 years bot?
don’t think so, but would be nice to return to this then and see who was more right (besides the american president. ha ha. because, right. get it? Ok, leaving now. bye.)
It’s not “those who will be targeted,” it’s those who broke the law. How is it that a group can claim they should arrest and detain/deport people for filling out a piece of paper wrong 14 years ago that had nothing to do with fraud, embezzlement, or hurting anyone. Just trying to work a 9-5 and provide for their families, yet this group can turn around and support people who are openly admitting they have committed crimes and should commit more while asking others to commit crimes to stay out of prison in the future.
Just trying to work a 9-5 and provide for their families
Yeah, but did they do this while being brown?
Maybe if you didn’t do a bunch of blatently illegal/immoral shit that could solve the whole prison issue too?
And rightfully they will go to prison.
Reminds me of the October revolution a bit, Lenin screaming to seize power now (that the provisional government is weak)
That bastard sez a lot of things. That’s all he does.
Evil really ages people like milk
Dancing to the jailhouse rock!
