Someone just said on MSNBC, no one wants to really see Trump go to jail tonight

[tavernier]

And it was then that I had my biggest laugh of the month. I could picture people all over the country, jumping out of their chairs and screaming I do I do I do. Still wiping the tears out of my eyes.

[Marius25]

1. What idiot on MSNBC said that? I definitely want to see him go to jail

[tavernier]

3. It wasn't Alicia Menendez

But someone she was interviewing. I rarely watch cable news on the weekends, but I just turned it on because of the nonsense his lawyers were playing with the delay earlier today.

[LiberalFighter]

10. Whoever it was is out of touch.

[tavernier]

14. I believe it was Jill Winebanks

She is a former prosecutor, and certainly no fan of Trump’s, but I think she just made it as a general statement, and it made me laugh so hard.

[LiberalFighter]

27. I wouldn't think she say that. A joke by her?

[tavernier]

35. See #26

[Poiuyt]

68. I think she wants to appear like she (or Democrats in general) are not gloating

[bamagal62]

13. It's all we want to see

And nothing else. We’d be dancing in the streets! We’ve been hoarding the popcorn for this very moment.

[SweepPicker]

2. I'd celebrate

until the wee morning hours if that coward was locked up

[tavernier]

4. No kidding!

I think the fireworks and horn honking would overcome New Year’s Eve

[livetohike]

9. And dancing in the streets! n/t

[RandySF]

5. I'd call the caterer.

[Irish_Dem]

6. I think people are going to get angry that Trump is not in jail.

Everyone knows that any other person would be in prison if they committed half the crimes
Trump has committed. Yet Trump is still committing crimes and threatening judges, witnesses
and prosecutors.

It is undermining the rule of law.

[Diamond_Dog]

7. ++++ agree

[bamagal62]

16. It's definitely highlighting

That there are different rules for different people and it’s fucking pissing us off.

[Irish_Dem]

30. Trump sees us as suckers and fools because we follow the law.

I'm beginning to see his point.

[bluedigger]

8. The ratings will be better tomorrow.

It's the first weekend of August after all. People have vacations scheduled.

[bucolic_frolic]

11. I think the Judge is being respectful to Trump by talking to his lawyers first

But this will be the end of the line.

[Irish_Dem]

31. Maybe she is afraid if she sees Trump she will reach across her desk and slap him silly.

OK wishful thinking here.

[bucolic_frolic]

33. lol, your thoughts precede you?

Don't hold back. Get it out of your system.

[Irish_Dem]

47. Trump has pissed me off more than usual with his latest antics.

At least I am not cussing too much.

[NJCher]

73. what was it that Nancy Pelosi said

she'd do to trump? This was right after Jan 6. I think she said she wanted to punch him in the face and she knew she'd go to jail but "she'd be happy."

Do I remember that correctly? I thought it was hilarious and I also remember thinking "jail?" You'd get the Medal of Honor for it.

[Irish_Dem]

75. Yes on Jan 6 she was very frustrated and said she wanted to punch Trump in the face.

I don't blame her one bit.
Right she should get a medal if she had done it.

[Emile]

12. Who is this person judging what people want?

[BootinUp]

15. Trump in jail means fewer stories about Trump. nt

[gopiscrap]

38. exactly and a loss of money

for the fucking corporate media pushing this asshole down our throats

[CanonRay]

62. I don't know, lots of stories about the meals

and maybe a special on the Wednesday night cabbage roll. Him shitting into a stainless steel pot.

[NJCher]

76. not to mention

Hair stories. Pics of his hair without hairspray. Hanging down, bald spots on top; should be great NY Post material.

Oh, and let's not forget jailhouse cooking. He'd be trying to come up with KFC using vending machine saltines.

[Deminpenn]

17. The worry must be that Trumper

cultists will freak out and do something, but most of them are either in jail or awaiting their own trials or sentencings.

Co-conspirators 1-6 aren't going to stir up trouble either as they are likely to be charged, too.

[bamagal62]

32. Plus, they are snowflakes.

[bamagal62]

18. At some point he must be held accountable

Or we’re screwed. It opens the door for others to do the same. They have to show that we have laws no matter who you are. We have to stop this crap of “I can shoot someone on 5th Ave and get away with it”.

[PortTack]

44. Nailed it!!

[nolabear]

19. The devil you say.

[AnnaLee]

20. I guess free game guy was taken to jail

I guess free game guy was taken to jail because his crime wasn't serious enough.

Lesson learned - always make sure your crime is serious enough to keep you out of jail.

[NJCher]

78. LOL +1

eom

[Chainfire]

21. I know as a verified fact that that is untrue. If no one else wants him jailed, I do!

The sooner the better.

[gopiscrap]

39. me too

[sellitman]

22. It must have been said as a joke.

Every sane person I know wants the MFer locked the F up.

[tavernier]

26. Yes, she meant it as kind of a toss away line

The way you might say, “Nobody wants to see a house burn down, but it is a trashy looking old place.”

[ms liberty]

65. This. I was watching, and that's exactly what it was. n/t

[tavernier]

66. Yes, she's no Trump fan.

It’s just that the line sounded so funny to those of us who are ready to pop the champagne cork

[ms liberty]

67. Exactly, I mean, it's Jill Wine- Banks, ffs. I laughed too. n/t

[madaboutharry]

23. I would love to see him in jail!

So, I have no idea who they are fucking talking about!

[Jarqui]

24. If Trump went to jail, ...

I'd be floating so much with glee, I might mess with the laws of gravity

I'd settle for a perp walk in cuffs ...

[calimary]

56. I'd treat myself to a chocolate orgy!!!

Hershey’s all the way to imports! For an entire day! Katie AND Compartes, Cadbury’s, See’s, Lindt’s and Ghirardelli’s bar the door!

[NJCher]

80. get yourself a chocolate fountain!

and dive in.

[Hekate]

25. Who is this "no one" of whom they speak? I and the rest of my household certainly want to see him

…in jail this very night.

[tavernier]

29. I know!!!

That’s what made me laugh so hard, because millions of us want exactly that

[MyMission]

28. Ha!!!

My reaction was in line with everyone else on this thread.
MSNBC didn't ask me, or us, or anyone.
Think of the comments they'll get on their blogs.

[tosh]

34. SAME!

😂

[MiniMe]

36. I'd like to see him put away someplace with no access to media or a phone

So we would never have to hear from him again!

[PortTack]

45. Agree..I just don't want to hear the MF! Wherever they may put him

[gopiscrap]

37. Just the fucking corporate media doesn't want to see him in jail

he's good for their ratings and make them money.

[Kid Berwyn]

51. Precisely.

Its TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP 24/7/366. No wonder no one knows these are the wealthiest times in history.

[republianmushroom]

40. I can understand those tears.

[ancianita]

41. Who on MSNBC said that -- a guest or an MSNBC employee.

Because that's just loon talk.

[tavernier]

43. See #26

[llmart]

42. Did they even ask all of us on DU?

They should. They'd see how many really would LOVE to see his orange ass in a jail cell.

[AllyCat]

46. It would be like the parties that broke out all over the US when Biden

DECISIVELY WON the 2020 election.

[lastlib]

48. How do you do, I'm NO ONE!

I would pop another champagne cork immediately if he went to jail tonight!

I could pop another kind of cork if he doesn't go soon. (I think we all know what kind I'm thinking about.....)

[tavernier]

50. I would definitely have a dram

Or two!!

[Mopar151]

49. Need time to draw a crowd! And to set up the cameras.

Footage from tonite would be spotty, reporters would not be the top guns. Judge Chutkin dropping whatever hammer she's gonna use in time to break for the 6 o'clock news Monday? Winner!

[Qutzupalotl]

52. It wouldn't be for the crime we all want charged.

It would be witness intimidation or some such, dressed up as free speech. Unfortunately I think it would benefit Chunk E. Cheese; it would seem to some deluded folk that he was being persecuted for political opinion.

This won't be popular here, but I think we should try to make his first incarceration about the truly monumental stuff if at all possible. The country as a whole would accept incarceration if it appears he deserves it, truly deserves it. I am not minimizing witness tampering, intimidation or interference. They are corrosive, but political violence is worse. Hs conduct will be considered at sentencing. Incarceration would be a distraction, a circus.

My hunch is that Smith is aware of the dangers of a fractured country; but of course that will not deter him from doing his job. He has faced worse and won. Trump can get away with a lot, until he can't. His ultimate fate is sealed, IMO, so I don't mind giving him a few apparent wins.

Not sure how the judge will rule on the social posts, though. Trump's good at toeing the line, like the mobster he is. I hope she tears him a new one, but we proceed with the case.

[tavernier]

55. The problem with that is

His mouth puts people in danger of their lives. He literally sics his flying monkeys on innocent people with the intention of harming or killing.

[Qutzupalotl]

58. All too true.

The situation reminds me of this cartoon from Jan 2021:

[NJCher]

82. OMD!

That's so funny!!

[Dulcinea]

70. I just want him gone.

I don't care what he goes to prison for. We all know what doomed Al Capone.

The only things I want to hear about this waste of oxygen ever again are that he's been sentenced to prison or that he has shuffled off this mortal coil.

[brokephibroke]

53. She may be on to something.

If the stress, poor diet and excess weight caught up with him, everyone would be happy.

[paleotn]

54. In a big country, it's not hard to dig up a complete nutter.

50% of the country will celebrate. 20% will freak out. 30% doesn't care.

[NewEnglandAutumn]

57. They are somewhat correct

Government officials do NOT want to see him go to jail. The truth is that it would be a nightmare. He would probably still be entitled to secret service protection etc. think of the logistical nightmare it would create.

[tavernier]

59. Good thing I'm not a government official in that case

Because I have NO problem with it!

[NJCher]

83. People say that but

I don't think it's true. The Bureau of Prisons will be consulted as to what facilities they have. You have to know that with the vast prison system we taxpayers have financed, there are probably some facilities that might be perfect for this situation.

[AKwannabe]

60. When he lands in jail

I will fly an American flag once again.

[yardwork]

61. Me!!!

[Bird Lady]

63. I want to see him go to jail tonight or any night.

Oh now people are getting nostalgic about this piece of scum.
He is not special, he is a crook and worse, he should be treated like any other crook, last I saw we put
people of his ilk in prison, no excuses.

[BigmanPigman]

64. Well, I just came back from the grocery store in San Diego

and a total stranger said to me, "Those are the best earrings I have ever seen". I wore my hand made "LOCK HIM UP" earrings that I made in 2016. I always get compliments from strangers when I wear them. Everyone I know wants him to either go to jail or drop dead.

[Smackdown2019]

69. Must be his lawyer

[Warpy]

71. I don't. House arrest. No electronic devices except an ankle bracelet

Visitor list restricted to family and legal counsel. Jamming equipment might be a nice edition, but wait until he violates house arrest by posting on someone else's phone or has another person post threats for him.

[Cha]

72. If that's what it takes to shut him

the Fuck UP.

It sounds like he wants to go and is inciting his fans to use deadly force again.

[blue-wave]

74. I swear that he and his cultists

will not be happy until they severely damage and divide America.

[tonekat]

77. He has to go to jail.

He's a virulent misfit of the criminal persuasion. He could wreak havoc on us and our freedoms, and we'd have to fight.

[dai13sy]

79. Are you kidding me

I would love to see him sit in the slam for the rest of his life and I'm most assuredly a Democrat Bring the hammer down

[AverageOldGuy]

81. It's about an attempted coup

In every other country that I know of, anyone who attempts a coup and fails suffers one of three fates.

1. Execution. Sometimes on the spot.
2. Jail. For a long time.
3. Exile. Tossed out of the country and never allowed to return.

I'm a big fan of #1 because it ensures that least the person who is executed will not try it again.

#2 and #3 are okay because in prison or in exile, a hit can be arranged.

[Trueblue1968]

84. yes they do ... I WANNA SEE TRUMP IN JAIL. His room mate is Big Bubba !!!

Room mates i would like to see in Trump's prison cell :::
