Donald Trump has fallen, and he can't get up: This may be the week the Demogorgon is caged
Trump's crude bluster has gotten him through life, business and politics — so far. He's not ready for what's coming

(Salon) The news for Donald Trump isn't subtle: He's the target of a federal investigation.

It's historic. It's blunt. It cuts to the quick.

On Wednesday evening, news broke that Trump received a target letter from the Department of Justice – that means a letter sent by federal prosecutors to a person when there is "substantial evidence linking him or her to the commission of a crime and who, in the judgment of the prosecutor, is a putative defendant," in order to afford them a chance to testify before any indictment is issued.

You can't be any more blunt than that.

Once again Trump is making history — not exactly in the way he intended, but as the classic rock anthem he likes to play at his rallies tells us, you can't always get what you want.

They are coming for Donald Trump; they inch closer to him each day. There is no subtlety in the actions of special counsel Jack Smith, the Manhattan district attorney's office or the federal grand juries at work in Washington, D.C., and Florida.

The New York Times reported Wednesday that John Solomon, a conservative writer and one of Trump's representatives to the National Archives, had "published an article claiming that federal prosecutors had notified the former president he was a target of their investigation and was likely to be indicted 'imminently'" in the Mar-a-Lago documents case.

Trump bluntly denied it. Other sources have now confirmed it.

Donald Trump represents the worst in American politics. He represents the destruction of cohesion and the ascendancy of dunces — elected officials incapable of holding any job outside of Washington and determined to keep their power by manipulating voters through gerrymandering, rhetoric, voter suppression and fear. .............(more)

1. While he may be indicted, I wouldn't count on him being "caged" anytime soon

[lees1975]

8. Then this whole investigation will be pointless.

Do these people not know what is at stake? He already abused the powers of the presidency, but he's being allowed to run again, sending a message that the rule of law can't protect us from abuse. If he can't be swiftly brought to trial, convicted and imprisoned before he has another shot at the White House, then none of this matters at all.

9. I agree. We will know soon enough

2. Lets hope the yokes on him

3. Salon writes the gospel truth the major networks fear to tread. Why is that??

“Haley, on the other hand, is about as subtle as loud flatulence on a wooden pew during a boring sermon.”

That’s gold!

4. Demogorgon?

Wouldn't that be Manchin?

5. 28 months and counting

[lees1975]

7. Exactly. Well said.

6. He's getting what he needs!

10. Gorgon...

"Hail, hail, fire and snow. Call the angel, we will go.
Far away, for to see, friendly Angel come to me."

This was the verse children used to summon an original series Star Trek villain. The Gorgan was an lying, abusive noncorporeal being who looked like the head and torso of a heavy set man, but who's true appearance was grotesque. Sound like anyone we know?

11. Nah

He's not referencing Star Trek. He's talking about the Demogorgon from Dungeons & Dragons and Stranger Things.
