Mary, respectfully, I very much appreciate all the work you are putting in to save us from ourselves. Still I worry that you may get lost in the process. Please don't forget to take care of yourself.
I'll echo the hopes for continued non-smoking, and add that if she hasn't already, Mary should figure out things she can do that will be soothing, relaxing, etc. Like maybe getting a massage (something I should do). Mary, you're doing a great job, but please take good care of yourself. And at this point, if I weren't already a paid subscriber I'd subscribe.
Agreed! I do appreciate everything you do, Mary, in your fight for Democracy, but this hits too close to home and the undoubtedly is taking a toll. Be mindful of taking the time you need for self care.
Self care and rest are vital. Don't forget that. Too many activists burn themselves out by not doing that. You have a great sense of humor and that is so wonderful.
I have trouble imagining a world in which Your Orange Uncle will actually spend so much as 30 seconds behind bars. I mean, he should have been in jail years ago--maybe decades...
Oh, not me; even Club Fed would be a fate worse than death for me. I wanna be able to go where I wanna go, when I wanna go there. But yes, he probably will get something nice and cushy.
If there's ANY JUSTICE left in the universe he'll have a cellmate about like Hannibal Lecter, John Wayne Gacy or the guy who killed John Lennon.
I think it'd be better to dump his SORRY ASS in solitary so entropy can do its thing & he can die old, sick, decrepit ( decrepiter ? ) & a guard will check on him one day when a rotten odor comes from his cell.
I believe once the truth comes out that Donald was never elected President in 2016 the security he has now will no longer be afforded. Putin put Donald in power and not the voters. The fake electors that were put in place to change the last election were they used in 2016? I am aware that the votes were changed. Putin hackers were one. Donald told us a kid and a fat man helped. He always outs himself in a joking way. Fake electors?
Like President Carter said, an investigation needs to be done on the 2016 Election. Barr stopped the Muller Investigation. What are the words under all the black ink?
No cameras, no lights, no microphones, no press, no " Truth Social " or other electronic media, no rallies, NO CONTRIBUTIONS from gullible rubes who think that he's the newest Messiah, no planning vengeance or crushing his enemies, etc. Yep - to him, that may as well be HELL. Couldn't happen to a nicer piece of S--T.
At this point, I think he wants the judge to throw him in jail. It will raise his MAGA "street cred" because how dare we thrown him in jail?? The crazy MAGA culture will buy every bit of the propaganda saying how the Biden DOJ and New York courts are targeting him. So TIRED of hearing about him. I wish he would GO AWAY!!!
Think of a bit of cell time liken to a captured soldier. Perhaps he will better understand in short order what 5 years in Hanoi Hilton meant to a real American Hero endured.
Let’s see how life is without his Mara Lago member fan club.
For most people, yes. They might rake the opportunity to reflect. But with him, he's so deranged I don't think it will affect him that way or give him reason to reflect. He will just sit there and stew and plot.
Hi Heather, In the case you do not know how to 'correct' an effort: go to your original post. At the bottom right are three dots. Click those and 'edit' is one of the choices. Make the change in the original post. Then be sure to click on the left side (either 'post' or 'save' - cannot remember what the word is:) 💙 Valere
I would love to see him go to jail, and then die fairly quickly while in jail. (Or prison.) It will be a better world without him, and without having to hear about him.
I just changed to a paid subscription. I read and enjoyed your first book and I appreciate your commentary, from your psychological and familial perspective.
America needs to be primed to the reality we're all dancing like antsy pants around: TFG defendant likely will be remanded to prison for the rest of his life. Insurrection, secrecy violations, terrorizing the judges themselves... Where we are now: the former Chair of his own party says "Put his ass in jail!"
Ahead of a gag order hearing in the federal election interference case against Donald Trump, Former RNC Chairman Michael Steele slams the former president’s “dangerous” attacks on judges, clerks, and prosecutors in the various legal cases against him. Steele argues authorities should treat Trump like any other citizen and throw him in jail for his attacks. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0szEuHgzOc&ab_channel=MSNBC #LockHimUp already
M. C. - I would throw a party on the town square, even if it was so expensive that I would go into debt, & the area where I live is LOUSY with conservatives who believe that this sick, pathetic excuse for a human is GOP Jesus.
Unfortunately, I do not agree that Trump will ever see the inside of a jail cell. He has successfully intimidated the entire judiciary, and indeed the entire federal government. Next stop dictatorship.
I think that you are wrong about the next step. I have to have faith that our countrymen will not allow DJT to ever step foot in the White House again. BUT, I totally agree that I don't think this sad excuse for a person, will ever go to jail! But it would make my day!!
Well the basic problem is the nervousness about how the trumpies would react - would millions of them go bananas or would just a few decide to march & yell a lot ? That is the worry. I think they are mostly way too cautious about ending up in jail to get very active now they have seen the results of the insurrection ! However I'm sure that is the worry - too many idiots out there with guns & who knows how they will react ! Maybe it will be fine as long as trump is not allowed to speak from jail ? So if we have to watch a shootout at the jail as they try to release him, then the arrival of the National Guard to control them, so be it, hopefully none of those just doing their job get wounded or killed ! The trumpies are all such a bunch of morons !
I agree. He will not be incarcerated, just fined over and over; maybe house arrest at home. It would be a logistical nightmare to keep him in a facility; the Secret Service probably doesn't even have a plan.
He will be jailed. They have one ready and waiting. It may be at Langley or a military prison, where they can isolate him from other prisoners and accommodate the Secret Service. They could not risk putting him in the general population. DOJ and Judge Engoron have had plenty of time to figure out the options. The options need to include housing the Secret Service. It would be an unmanageable mess to have him at 'home.' How could he ever be monitored at Mara Lardo or the New Jersey golf club? Or Trump Towers. Jail means jail, not 'house arrest.'
I think that he should be SUED until all he has is an ill - fitting wrinkled unwashed suit & he has a service station restroom to call home. & then the service station BURNS DOWN or EXPLODES because of a stray spark. KABOOM ! If he died tomorrow the world would not be poorer because of it.
I don’t either. I’m thinking the judge in Atlanta is on Trump’s side.It would appear he's dragging his feet in making decisions here and will blow Willis' case out of the water. Same old tactics Trump learned from Roy Cohn and Roger Stone; deny deny deny. Delay delay delay. Also, IMO Cannon is just waiting for the right circumstances to dismiss the classified docs. case so long as she doesn’t put her own career in jeopardy. We MIGHT have a good chance at of a conviction in DC
Anybody with more than a thimbleful of functioning brain cells, yet claiming that they proudly support this MONSTER loosely resembling a human / hominid has OTHER ISSUES.
I read somewhere that he already popped off about the judge’s wife. The judge and his family are not covered by the gag order. Edges, rump loves to push those edges.
I don't know. Probably literally anyone else would be in jail by now if they repeatedly threatened a judge who was presiding over a case against them. As with all things DJT though, I'll believe it when I see it. There seems to be a weird wrinkle in the karmic order of the universe where the same rules and consequences that apply to the rest of us don't apply to him.
Donald Trump Betting Specials: Bookies make it 6/1 that Trump is sentenced to PRISON in 2023 with criminal charges still up in the air! [from OLBG.com website, February 2023]. Bookies are also placing bets on whether Trump will take foreign citizenship in 2023; and whether he and Melania divorce in 2023 (7/1 chance). The year is almost over....
Now if Engoron will just enforce it! I can't wait!!!
Mary, respectfully, I very much appreciate all the work you are putting in to save us from ourselves. Still I worry that you may get lost in the process. Please don't forget to take care of yourself.
Nancy- I’ve been thinking the same thing. I hot Mary takes precautions to stay safe.
Me too. I mean she is a mental health professional, but still, I'm a mom/nana, I worry.
You are sweet too.
Sorry for the typo. Meant to say I HOPE Mary takes precautions to stay safe.
Thank you, Mary, for your work. 💙💙💙
I agree, Nancy. I worry that this work is draining Mary's energy. I hope she is mindful of HOW and WHEN her work is exhausting her energy.
It takes longer to recover if you are not mindful of the triggers.
I hope Mary is not smoking again.
I'll echo the hopes for continued non-smoking, and add that if she hasn't already, Mary should figure out things she can do that will be soothing, relaxing, etc. Like maybe getting a massage (something I should do). Mary, you're doing a great job, but please take good care of yourself. And at this point, if I weren't already a paid subscriber I'd subscribe.
Let us all send Mary energy.
Agreed! I do appreciate everything you do, Mary, in your fight for Democracy, but this hits too close to home and the undoubtedly is taking a toll. Be mindful of taking the time you need for self care.
Please stay in prayer and I would like everyone to keep Mary in prayer and send her energy.
Self care and rest are vital. Don't forget that. Too many activists burn themselves out by not doing that. You have a great sense of humor and that is so wonderful.
I have trouble imagining a world in which Your Orange Uncle will actually spend so much as 30 seconds behind bars. I mean, he should have been in jail years ago--maybe decades...
He'll get Club Fed. & those places are so nice that I'D do something white collar to be tossed into one.
Oh, not me; even Club Fed would be a fate worse than death for me. I wanna be able to go where I wanna go, when I wanna go there. But yes, he probably will get something nice and cushy.
They're nice, but, A CAGE IS A CAGE, even a gilded one.
AND the gag is for his own GOOD but His Royal Hiney will kvetch about it until he's about to breathe his last then go to be with Fred in hell.
Absolutely!
Ah yes, to see DJT head to toe in Orange. Could not happen to a more deserving person.
His cellblock " neighbors " will be Latin, black, Arab, war veterans, etc., basically people that he hates.
If only one of them could be a cell mate.
I DONE HEARED THAT, as some of my fellow tenants might say.....
If there's ANY JUSTICE left in the universe he'll have a cellmate about like Hannibal Lecter, John Wayne Gacy or the guy who killed John Lennon.

I heard he’ll be in solitary so the secret service can protect him. Being in solitary is likely to be torture.
No cameras, no lights, no microphones, no press, no " Truth Social " or other electronic media, no rallies, NO CONTRIBUTIONS from gullible rubes who think that he's the newest Messiah, no planning vengeance or crushing his enemies, etc. Yep - to him, that may as well be HELL.

A perfect blend of clothing and skin tone!

Sad, but true. Or the quote "I've never wished a man dead, but read some obituaries with great pleasure".
I'd sure read Trump's with great pleasure! Probably get some friends together and celebrate!
24 hours in jail would break his tiny mind.
Yes there's that danger there indeed, but you know the best way to defeat a bunch of bullies is to knock the leader down. Peace, Maurice
Yes, when do we get to have a retirement party!
I'm right there with you.

Mary, Thank you very much for the update. Gag him. imprison him for the rest of his miserable life. No appeals.
Btw, I don’t eat popcorn so am thinking of other celebratory options. Must stock up. 💙⚖️💙
M.C., Homemade corn tortillas with guacamole for me:) And matcha tea💙
M. C. - I would throw a party on the town square, even if it was so expensive that I would go into debt, & the area where I live is LOUSY with conservatives who believe that this sick, pathetic excuse for a human is GOP Jesus.
Let him keep on TALKING already. He's HIS OWN WORST ENEMY !
Perhaps a Hannibal Lecter style mask to start.
More like a ball gag.

I'll bet they do
House arrest would be awfully cushy. He would still have his servants, food, putting green, and, all the members applauding him(to stoke his ego!!).
I don’t either. I’m thinking the judge in Atlanta is on Trump’s side.It would appear he's dragging his feet in making decisions here and will blow Willis' case out of the water.

Fingers and toes crossed!!!
Donald makes ME gag...
I’d be willing to bet it happens.
Are they posting odds in Vegas yet? :)
