I do not think he will be kicked out of the country, but he might end up in prison. Most probably would be in home arrest, because of his political past. I would not be surprised if they take most of his property, even though most of his properties are run down enough to have them torn down. His towers could be used for other things.

One of the most insidious things of this era Catherine, specifically Trump, is the extent to which the overton window has shifted.

james wheaton (Jay)'s avatar

Daniel - great point. What makes this political war so personal for me is that our political opponents (most of my family included BTW) think so little of us and our views - to the point of visceral hatred - that they will continue to throw their support behind such an obviously vile excuse for a human being, quite literally an American fascist, rather than let a progressive government continue until the next election. That is un-American, and is a personal slap in the face of anyone with progressive views. Were the Republican candidate a person with some modicum of honor and compassion, and largely truthful, then it ceases to be personal. Now it is just a good honest difference of opinion. Big diff to me. I guess though that such persons who are Republican are few and far between.

The woman wouldn’t file a police complaint due to Trump supporters harassment. She was scared of that and I don’t blame her.

Now with RFKjr using Kennedy‘s last name is as well known, and if people don’t read that his family denounce him they’ll think Kennedy is behind him that worries me.

Also, Federal Gov should charge all that were in that picture as the know full well no pictures to be taken their and campaign should know the laws if not what a sad campaign (they still owe millions of dollars to airports across the United States that Trump campaign refuses to pay that’s a hell of note.

I sick of him getting away with his blatant laws. He is CITZEN not above the law. Are police, Gov and Feds afraid of him? If so to many are working for his cause not America Laws. When does it end. I am worried about the attacks in Texas on Latino’s communities & LULAC as 1mil were deleted from voter rolls!

Ken Paxton sent out 9 men to harass 87y women keep her out side in her nightgown while’s searched everything took her phone, computers all Dr appt were on her phone. That’s just one. I truly believe Republicans in that state have won by large numbers for a reason. Corruption. To attack Latino is because 39% voters in Texas are Latinos and 1mil are unregistered this woman was the one who sent people out to get people registered to vote. All because Harris is running. I hope Texas will see what these evil White old men are doing in Capital and their house. They just as soon as cheat because most Texas work and pay no attention to elections. Will see. Ken Paxton is A corrupt as they get. He should’ve stood trial but went to the right Judge in Texas. Same thing in Georgia.

If I could afford it I would go many state to help get people to reg to vote. Tell them what DJT HAS done to people throughout this Country to cheat.

I get so mad I vent in typing. This last weekend TRUMP Supports drove threw our little Town yelling at other that were for Freedom they were so ashamed they covered their own face with their hands. I thought that was funny. 3 TRUCKS ONLY and one point there were abt 30 so that a good thing.

I am not sure how I can help here in the foothills of CA others States or Harris Campaign donate is one but other? If we could all chip in just maybe we can beat down to a MEGA LANDSLIDE where no doubt who won

Thank you! This movement should have been addressed quickly and certainly, but (I believe) the horrors of the pandemic were too great to ignore. The DOJ, led by Merrick Garland (who I personally really like) is too timid and self-reflective to be effective against an enemy of this magnitude. So many of us saw this coming years ago! And too many people said we were crazy, reaching, clinging to conspiracy theories... but here we are.

Vote! Vote Blue, and please remember to check your voting status. Texas in particular has or is in the process of purging voter rolls, as much as 12% of total voters, and the Republikkkans' reign of terror is nowhere near over.

If the government takes action on this incident, the employee will be called as a witness and then her desire to remain anonymous will go up in smoke. She can be called against her will as a witness by either the government or Trump's lawyers.

Im curious on how ANC is classified. It's a National Cemetery but also a military monument administered by the Army(I think). Does that make ANC a military facility? Wouldn't Uniform Code of Justice apply?

Apparently the Army oversees this cemetery and it was their employee. While they defended her against the lies that have come out since, they said since she didn't press charges, the matter isn't going to go any further. So looks like they won't be seeking justice without her decision to press charges. Doesn't seem right.

Americans must see to it that what they pulled there is yet another criminal act to add to his name. The fear of Donald has to be turned around and America, since no one with the authority to do so, must scare the living shit out of that egomaniac. What can he do if we all face him with our loathing for his behavior.

I'm sure they think it's more important to protect this woman, but if they wanted to hold him accountable, they could do it without her needing to do anything more than provide a statement. The least they could do is offer to protect her from their histrionics if she'll agree to press charges.

They have not released her name. It is to protect her. If they pressed charges she will become a witness and subject to threats by Donald. My personal opinion is that they should protect the woman even though it allows Donald to escape yet again. He will escape anyway, given the composition of the SCOTUS. So why endanger her life? It us sad that laws can’t be enforced anymore because of DT.

You make an important point. She shouldn’t HAVE to press charges. That ought to be done by the Cemetery and the US Army, against a political candidate and his staff who belligerently broke the rules and assaulted an employee. It ought not to be on her. Her employer should press charges against the Thug and his gang.

Agree the DOJ HAS to investigate lay charges federally; the employee is a witness only in that case not the person laying the charges and her identity can be hidden by the court so his Magat Morons can t go after her! She shouldn’t HAVE to expose herself to their vileness any further; who can blame her for not wanting to be their punching bag!

Agreed. It’s not up to an alleged, albeit believable, victim to decide whether or how an assailant is prosecuted. It’s solely up to a prosecuting authority to decide whether or how to bring charges. But, it must be noted that a waiver of prosecution asserted by a victim may potentially impair the credibility of the victim.

That is an institutional failure and it needs to be pursued by whoever is in charge of en forcing Federal laws! Not the employee ; the institution has to be forced to enforce the law. Wouldn’t that be FBI to investigate and DOJ to lay charges based on the incident report other witnesses MPs who were called etc ??

My brother was in Army he was hurt in Sierra Vista, AZ Army base while working on a a big generator at the time, HE was unable to go back to duty, so they honorable discharged him. After 21 yrs they offer him free medical so now he a mess pain meds it seem he hooked on opioids & pot. Sad I felt for his kids. After Divorce his kids they move to Conn & mom never seen any child support thu the Army. He’s never seen his kids since they were little ab 10. One just turn 40

I lost touch with him he seemed to stay drunk a lot

I am so sick of SCOTUS writing special immunity that no president has ever before requested, need or had, and everyone else just letting him get away with his crimes — except for E.Jean Carroll and maybe Jack Smith. But remember AG Garland is so afraid of Trump, he didn’t even start investigating Jan. 6 for more than a year — after a legislative committee did most of the work.

Trump violated a Federal law by shooting material that he used in a commercial that has already aired/been shown on digital outlets (TikTok) 32 :CFR § 553.32

Federal law prohibits political campaign or election-related activities within Army National Military Cemeteries, to include photographers, content creators or any other persons attending for purposes, or in direct support of a partisan political candidate’s campaign,” the cemetery said Tuesday. “Arlington National Cemetery reinforced and widely shared this law and its prohibitions with all participants.”

IF the institution charged with enforcing a Federal law refuses to do such enforcement, CAN a Court not issue a Court Order or decree demanding that said institution enforce said law on behalf of the American people??? How would an ordinary citizen or maybe the ACLU set about ensuring that the Federal law is enforced on these two staffers and their boss for breach of a federal law in a Federal cemetery?? It should be possible legally to force the court in the region to do so? Anyone know if the ACLU would take it on?

Because the 6 SCOTUS justices would say that his crimes were connected to and part of his doing the job/acting in the office of the president. Whether the crimes actually had any connection to his being president means nothing. Truth has nothing to do with it.

The thug who assaulted the Arlington employee should be arrested and jailed pending charges and trial, even if she declines to press charges, the crime was witnessed and he should be held accountable. And frankly Trump should be charged with violating the laws against using Arlington for campaign purposes. Enough of the double standard that allows Trump to commit crimes that anyone else would be immediately jailed for.
