This will quietly die off after Jan 20. Nothing to see here.

Yep. Even if there were a case, it would be litigated in the courts for years.

  The case is over. Are you even paying attention? They were found guilty. This is "sentencing" basically, the penalty phase.

They need to pay their tithe/donation to the administration first.

  Trump is a lame duck. Donating to his campaign is useless. They have one path for political redemption, and it’s to acquire Trump annd his allies’ companies and/or invest in their funds.

    How is he a lame duck?
    - wmf 2y ago
      Technically he can't run again so he doesn't need any money for his own campaign. However, he might reward donations to his friends in the MAGA Cinematic Universe.

        I’m sure the constitution will be changed to allow Trump to remain President, one way or the other way.
        JumpCrisscross 2y ago
        Almost certainly not. If he runs it will be by ignoring the Constitution, and at that point we’re legitimately in civil war territory.

        Exactly. He is not going to and he will not. By the next election and after his second term ends, we'll see that all the extremely wild claims of: "Trump is ending the constitution!" "This will be the last election if Trump wins!" "Trump will be a dictator!" "Civil war is going to happen under Trump!" All of this repeated ad-nauseam, will be forgotten and dismissed as complete hysterical nonsense.

        > If he runs it will be by ignoring the Constitution He's already done that—section 3 of the 14th amendment should have prohibited him from becoming president. It went to the Supreme Court, and they decided they didn't care. If the 14th amendment could be ignored, why not the 22nd?

        The US constitution would allow him to "run" ( usually it's coast ) as Vice President to the next POTUS .. and that would also allow him one day less than two years as POTUS should the VP be required to take over for the sitting President. Realistically Trump most likely lacks any interest once his various and sundry pending felony and other charges have been quashed or voided by immunity grants, etc.

        The past 8 years have been a nonstop stream of "he can't" and "that'll cause a civil war." I'm not sure why people are still expecting normalcy.

        Where’s Warren G Harding when you need him!

    I wonder if a big enough ad spend at X would be enough.

Not necessarily. The state of Colorado is one of the plaintiffs.
