I expect there will be a plea deal soon. The only way Donald Trump can avoid prison is to promise not to run for office again. As much as I wish to see him behind bars, this is probably the next best alternative. Jack Smith will understand what could happen and probably offer the Orange Moron a plea deal. This country can’t take a chance Trump will somehow win office and pardon himself and all his friends. Oh, and while he’s at it, would repeal democracy in America. Even if Trump were not the nominee, another MAGA Republican could win and would likely use pardon powers to excuse Trump of his crimes and make his base happy.

It is almost inconceivable to me that Trump could win election as president, but our electoral system is so broken, bizarre, and outdated the possibility is there. Many nations around the world are turning to the right, and we can’t take a chance that America will be one of those. American fascism would be very ugly and hateful, and would destroy all future hope and progress in this nation. A dark cloud would descend on America and the world, and a better life would only be possible by billionaires and heads of large corporations. And those whose last name is Trump.
