Why we can't cut a deal with Trump.

[CanonRay]

The short answer? He can't be trusted.

Bandied amongst the talking head set, I hear speculation about Jack Smith cutting a plea deal with Trump, along the lines that he agrees never to run for office in his life and wears an ankle monitor or some such shit.

Imagine if this was done. Along comes the Iowa primary and the liar-in-chief decides he's just what the country needs. He cuts the ankle monitor and off he goes to his first rally and announces his candidacy for President. . Now the government is in the position of having to arrest him for a parole violation solely because he's running for elected office. Exactly what the Magats are screaming.

So please, cut the fairy tales of dealing with this psycho. A hard fought trial and life in prison is the only option.

3. No deal

4. Exactly!

This is exactly why I was so dumfounded when Rachel floated pardoning him. It would NOT work, no way in hell will he keep his word. All he does is lie and hurt people and steal for himself - that is it!

5. "WE" don't have a say in the matter

High up government officials in the DOJ, courts and other arms of government will make the decision to make a deal or not. After what the NY AG said the other day, it seems a deal somewhere down the line is not out of the question. That, along with dump being scared shitless, and the fact people are sick of him make me think it's a good possibility. That and decades of watching repub traitors get away with crimes against this country.

We can yell and cuss all we want but in the end that won't matter. It didn't with Nixon, Agnew, Hastert, and on and on. dump is worse by a long shot but with these criminals it doesn't matter what they did, but who is doing it.

6. He is running for pardon, not presidency.

7. Trump wants public executions and mass imprisonment.

Insane that the right wing media is idolizing this shit.
