The former guy is right … if they can come after him they can come after you. But first, you have to commit multiple crimes, in multiple states that include rape, tax evasion, the theft of top secret documents, multiple incidents of obstruction of Justice, election meddling, inciting violence, money laundering and conspiracy to defraud the United States.

You have to admit, regardless of your political beliefs, that a guy going to federal prison for years because when he himself was president he signed an order to increase the minimum sentence for the exact crime he committed is hands down the funniest shit that could ever happen and we are nanometers away from that once-in-a-lifetime hysterical occurrence from taking place. You have to want this to happen if you have any appreciation for comedy.

One thing that strikes me about the Trump documents case is that it's almost entirely a sequence of unforced errors that yielded almost no obvious benefit to him. It's just narcissistic recklessness, lies, doubling down, obstruction, conspiracy, rinse and repeat. He could have simply returned the documents he knew about and cooperated in the recovery of the others. But he can't help himself.

Just a PSA, if you are a neck-veiny conservative white man just absolutely raring to do right-wing terrorism right now because you made a blithering cretinous fuckwit your messiah because of how poignantly his racism spoke to you and he turned out to be a pretty incompetent criminal and not enough of a dictator to get away with it, please be sure to yell about it on your standard Dogpatch Fascist Yayhoo social medium that I am sure is in no way being monitored by the feds because of how much smarter you are than them. #TrumpIndictment #RedneckTet
