  1. As usual, it likely won’t happen. But we can dream, right?

  2. Just waiting on the party of law and order to spin this one around. Their ability to perform gymnastics is unparalleled. Anything that comes of this won’t have any appreciable effect on his cult base, unfortunately.

  3. I feel like the most trustworthy white guy in Georgia was Boss Hog in the 70s and it went downhill from there. They probably had to tone down the political corruption in Georgia for that show just to make it more believable.

  4. Life is going to hit trump hard when he loses the election and all these lawsuits come due

  5. I didn’t think it wouldn’t get to this stage. This is good.

  6. How many times is Trump going to get away with violating the terms of his bail?

  7. Stochastic Terrorism – there were no bomb threats to schools before Vance and Trump

  8. Summoning literal Nazis to a small town because you can’t stop spreading hateful lies ought to put you under the jail.

  9. It might be hard to get these to stick for political reasons, but it should be easy to have these charges pursued against Musk and other well known names spreading this misinformation.

  10. Trump could (insert the worst thing imaginable that a human could do) and 70 million sociopaths would still vote for him.

  11. “Ohio law includes a rarely used mechanism that allows private citizens to pursue criminal charges.”

    I have a strong suspicion this was put in place by Republicans…. I fully expect major backpedaling for Glorious Leader.

  12. Top reasons why Trump should not be president.

    Also, just regarding some of the Trump administration that have been convicted of crimes:

    Donald Trump was charged, convicted, and is awaiting sentencing.

    Trump’s former campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, was charged, convicted, and sentenced to prison.

    Trump’s former campaign vice chairman, Rick Gates, was charged, convicted, and sentenced to prison.

    Trump’s former personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, was charged, convicted, and sentenced to prison.

    Trump’s former adviser and former campaign aide, Roger Stone, was charged, convicted, and sentenced to prison.

    Trump’s former adviser and former White House aide Peter Navarro, was charged, convicted, and is currently in prison.

    Trump’s former campaign adviser, George Papadopoulos, was charged, convicted, and sentenced to prison.

    The Trump Organization’s former CFO, Allen Weisselberg, was charged, convicted, and sentenced to prison.

    Trump’s former White House national security advisor, Michael Flynn, was charged and convicted.

    Trump’s former chief strategist, Steve Bannon, was charged with wire fraud and money laundering, in addition to a conviction in a contempt case similar to Navarro’s. He’s currently awaiting sentencing.

    Though he was later acquitted at trial, Trump’s former inaugural committee chair, Tom Barrack, was charged with illegally lobbying Trump on behalf of a foreign government. (Elliot Broidy was the vice chair of Trump’s inaugural committee, and he found himself at the center of multiple controversies, and also pled guilty to federal charges related to illegal lobbying.)

    Two lawyers associated with Trump’s post-defeat efforts, Kenneth Chesebro and Sidney Powell, have pleaded guilty to election-related crimes.

    And if your vote is based strictly on economic achievements, here is a TikTok video comparing **Trumps economy by the numbers**. [Tiktok link](https://www.tiktok.com/@zak.kimball/video/7401166766178635039)

  13. Anyone else would already be in jail, so sick of this entitled turd.

  14. Charges include:

    – Making False Alarms
    – Committing Telecommunications Harassment
    – Committing Aggravated Menacing
    – Violating the Prohibition Against Complicity

  15. The article says the court found no probable cause to issue misdemeanor warrants. The prosecutor’s office is reviewing charges brought by a **private citizen**. 

    So…

  16. Unfair to WE THE PEOPLE to Not sentence him before the elections.

  17. It was my understanding that much like taking $1,000,000 and simply throwing it all over the street, that you **also** **can’t** intentionally cause panic via any *other* method, either.

    This reaaaally should constitute being considered as having created societal panic. The violence and bomb threats are clearly the results of said panic being caused.

    Which is, obviously, extremely against the law.

  18. When I was sentenced in 1984 they immediately revoked my 500k bond and put me in a van for 6 days travelling to another hole to travel 2 more weeks ‘Diesel Therapy’ . I wasn’t allowed to vote until last year in Florida. But fuck me I was just a poor dumb kid .

  19. Dumb fucks picked one of the only states where private citizens can pursue criminal charges to lie about

  20. Let’s face it, we tiptoe around this guy because we’re scared of the domestic terrorist organizations which support him. By not holding him accountable for his crimes in the same manner as any other defendant, we are trying to placate the violent thugs in our country. We’re no better than the people in the Middle East just trying to get by with ISIS in the neighborhood. While understandable to a point, this soft peddling only emboldens them. Lock him up

  21. They both belong in prison for life. Along with Musk and any other traitor like Kennedy and Tulsi.

  22. I’m all for free speech, but like we all know we limit such freedoms when it can incite others to do criminal behavior or endangers others. Why we don’t have laws preventing politicians from spreading hate, racism, and outright lies that harm communities as in this case, but on a federal scale, is beyond me.

    These individuals with too much hate and lots of money can use there words to cause untold damage, and have already done so…. Its scary to think what happens if Trump gets power again.

  23. Not gonna lie “Both candidates arrested and tried for Felonies in small Ohio town for spreading racist lie” was not the October surprise anyone expected.

  24. Nothing will happen. Politicians are immune unless you are a Dem

  25. Ooh ooh. I’ve seen this one before!

    Spolier. They get away with it in the end. 

  26. Making False Alarms
    Committing Telecommunications Harassment
    Committing Aggravated Menacing
    Violating the Prohibition Against Complicity

    This is the Trump – Vance playbook

    The Republican Party chant is:

    MAWA

    Make America White Again

  27. A lot of Trump’s accomplices are old and extremely self-interested. Go after them and watch them turn on Trump to save themselves.

    Rudy Giuliani belongs in prison for helping to incite a riot.
