My predictions about Trump's legal cases

[AverageOldGuy]

Trump is facing a multitude of legal cases; for what it's worth -- which is not much -- these are my predictions of the outcome in each case.

1. E. Jean Carroll case: $93 million judgement is on appeal; Trump wins appeal, pays $0.
2. NY Fraud case: $450 million judgement is on appeal; Trump wins appeal, pays $0.
3. Stormy Daniels hush money case: Jury finds him not guilty. After the trial, jury foreman is asked by reporters about the jury deliberations, foreman says the only thing Trump was guilty of was paying 130 large for a piece of ass.
4. Insurrection case: Supreme Court rules President is immune for all acts while in office and after leaving office.
5. Classified documents case: Based on SCOTUS ruling in insurrection case, Judge Loose Cannon drops all charges.
6. After charges are dropped in insurrection and classified document cases, Garland wakes up from morning nap long enough to tell Jack Smith to shut down his office, burn all documents, and please close the door, it's time for my noon nap.
6. Georgia judge says, because DA was getting it on with a married man, all charges in every case she brought are dropped.

Trump catches Brooklyn DA on 5th Avenue, shoots and kills him, is not arrested.

Am I a bitter old man? You bet your sweet ass I am. At 80, retired from the Army 30 years ago after 30 years in uniform, too damn long in a place called Vietnam (there's a couple of paragraphs in your high school history book about Vietnam). I put 19-yr-old kids into body bags -- with their whole lives no longer ahead of them.

I have taken responsibility for every action I ever took, no excuses, no appeals, regardless of the consequences.

Last week I reminded my two grandsons they must do the right thing in every thing they do. No more. From here on it I'm advising the to lie, cheat, steal, push everyone else out of the way.

Am I a bitter old man? Goddam right I am. 80 years. For this?

1. What's your prediction about the election though?

The election is in considerably more diverse hands.

4. Biden will win the election

For months following the election, Trump and has gang of lawyers and supporters will try every trick they can devise to overturn the election.

2. Years ago

I had a similar conversation with a guy about our same age. We talked about how we raised our kids to be respectful, be honest and do the right thing even when it's not easy or even when it will cost you in some way. He looked at me and agreed and he said how he sometimes thought he may have hurt his kids because by teaching them to be upstanding he sort of put them at a disadvantage financially/career wise in life because the weasels seemed to be the ones getting higher up the way in life. This was in the mid '90's.

I told him I understood how he felt but that you can't give in. I experienced in my life times when I could have "gone along" but I didn't. Cost me big time in money, personal pain, job loss, lost relationships. Knocked down and lost it all several times. Family turned their back and wanted me to be a "go along" person. But I was influenced by the Beats, the Civil Rights movement and the philosophy of the hippies about peace and love and sharing. It changed my life forever and it saved me from being like those family members who were racist, selfish and self serving. But to this day I can say that having to pick myself up and start again so many times may have been hard but some of the best lessons in life and about people were learned while losing everything and fighting to come back.

The people who most easily shared their food, gave me shelter, listened to my heartbreak and never turned me away were the people who from outward appearances had the least in life. The ones who f'd me had money, control and some just got off on being hurtful to a laid back person. So be it. But at the end of the day those people with the least taught me how to know who the best are. In my life when things were good or bad I always had the approach that if I was sitting with someone and we were down to our last saltine cracker I'm giving them the first bite. I would rather die than be any other way.

I've known decent people with money and things. I've known bad people who didn't. Some of both. But I told my grand-kids over and over the stories of things that happened and how/why I chose doing the right thing and how important that would be to their lives. I would rather have a grandchild who is making minimum wage later in life/struggling who has lived a life doing the right thing than to have them be "comfortable" and knowing they "turned their head"/took advantage of people along the way.

AOG you're a good soul and I enjoy your posts here on DU and I know you are way more like me and my pal from long ago having that conversation. You raised the grand-kids right. The frustration and anger is something we all feel. Always remember there's people out here that will give you that first bite on the cracker.

3. You left out the part...

where Trump get enough Republican swing states to screw around with the votes so he gets a majority of electors.

This time it will be planned from before the election, not afterwards, like the last time.
