apparently, Trump is free to try to get elected again in 2024 if the news is any indication. So all the time spent on impeachment or get his ass hauled in went nowhere.
i wonder if they'll really let that fly though considering everything
Normally I wouldn't bring celebrity opinions into politics because, well, barring Ronald Reagan or Arnie most actors don't actually have experience in politics.
But if a politician starts it, well, consider my action...Forced.

As expected, the NY AG now has Trump's taxes.
Just a reminder, grand jury evidence and deliberations are supposed to be hush-hush. It may be a while before we see any action taken. But the sheer amount of effort Trump took to block not just the public, but a legal warrant, from getting to his taxes at least suggests he knows he's in trouble.
EDIT: Oh right, it's possible Trump didn't cheat on his taxes...but instead lied to Deutsche Bank. If anything, that could be worse for him. Because then Deutsche Bank gets to take all his stuff.

Fraud is a crime, yes. But even if it wasn't, breaking a contract is a serious civil matter. If I said "Hey Scoobs, I will sell you this authentic Action Comics #1 for $100" and we sign a contract on the matter, if I sell you a forgery, you at the very minimum get your $100 back. Most contracts -- such as bank loans -- have other, specific, harsh restrictions if you stiff the bank. There's a reason the bank keeps your house, even if you only owe 20% left when you default.
Basically I'm saying Deutsche Bank not only gets to go after Trump for their money, but probably also keep the properties the loan was for.
Not a chance. All kidding aside, house arrest almost always includes no outside contact. And especially no phone calls and internet. He would be truly alone with his thoughts and cable tv. I'd rather see him in prison (if convicted) of course, but it's just not going to happen - no matter how long I keep my pic up.

That's interesting...give him his own "wing" or whatever part of a prison. It would be great to see him in an orange jumper.

Only court approved visitors. I'm not sure about family/spouse though. I am almost certain each case is handled a little differently.
That would be fantastic.

I hope that happens - especially the pension. The SS protection is a mixed bag - I have to say I'm actually in favor of him keeping it, despite the terrible toll it would take on those federal officers assigned to him.

Not yet. Not sure if you're keeping up with ongoing investigations, but they just keep increasing. And we haven't even begun the Insurrection one (on him).

Well that, and Disney didn't cancel Carano because of her character on Star Wars - they canceled her because of real character.

It's a crime, but it's a civil crime for sure, not necessarily a criminal. Now, it can also be a criminal matter. And if the fraud is linked to, say, wire transfers and other legal shenanigans, well, then we get into Conspiracy to Commit Wire Fraud, Wire Fraud, etc. And those are all juicy big felonies that people spend 10+ years in jail for.
If the case goes that direction, Trump is going to argue that he had no knowledge of the fraud, that his minions did it without his knowledge or consent. And I would bet that no one at the Trump Organization is going to jail for Trump if they can avoid it - especially after Cohen.
Since Trump likes to value himself at whatever number he wants by simply claiming his "brand" is worth a certain number its very likely he declared different values of wealth between the IRS and Deutsche.
It ignores such insignificant forces as time, entropy, and death

I know you love cheerleading Trump and sealioning to try to stir the pot here but you've made several assertions along the lines of "Trump got away with everything."
Impeachment isn't where this all ended. It's where it all started.
Now the actual criminal process kicks in and Trump ain't running in 2024 if he's in some form of jail.
And although he has his unshakable cult (apparently including you) - his support isn't entirely unshakable as the riots have shown -- he could suffer a political death by a thousand paper cuts.
@cubby
I just thought of something, he is claiming he lives of Mar-A-Lago.
If he was given house arrest there, that would effectively shut down the resort wouldn't it? He couldn't have all them guests or any of that.
Since we can't call out Trolls and Bad Faith posters and the Ignore function doesn't actually ignore it. Add
"mmo-champion.com##li.postbitignored"
to your ublock or adblock filter to actually ignore ignored posters. Now just need a way to ignore responses to them as well.
