Trump as House Speaker? Surely, surely, surely not??? (Original Post) Laura PourMeADrink Dec 2021 OP
When are they going to charge him bottomofthehill Dec 2021 #1
That could go for either Gaetz or Trump bottomofthehill Dec 2021 #2
Matt Gaetz seems pretty confident that he's going to be around that long. smirkymonkey Dec 2021 #3
Agreed. Doesn't remove "Asshole" designation from Ryan, but he's better than Gaetz. nt Progressive Jones Dec 2021 #5

That is, for a guy who's trying to beat a list of charges that stretches from DC to Daytona Beach.

What a smarmy little freak! He makes Paul Ryan look like a respectable Statesman, and i thought THAT guy was the essence of smarminess not so long ago.

He knows how it works, and he knows that he will NEVER be held accountable for any crimes he may have committed.

Accountability is for the little people, not someone like him.

More and more are finally coming around to the realization that a person like TFG, won't ever face charges in the future.

I realize we all want it, and feel it's deserved, but that does not mean there's any chance of it happening.

I for one, won't be at all shocked when they commit more criminal acts in the future. Perhaps overturning or fixing an election, and getting away with it. Why shouldn't they try? No accountability before, likely means no accountability in the future.

The same people who posted here that he would be arrested back in April, are still posting about this person or that person who will be arrested in the coming months.

JUST BE PATIENT, THEY SAY.

Personally, I expect that EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM, will NEVER be held accountable for a damn thing. It's just how America rolls.

FG could be speaker for at least a year.

But I do wonder if Gaetz actually asked FG. Somehow I just can't picture him being disciplined enough to show up and just sit there all night if he had to.
