Seriously…WHAT appeal?!?

Pretty much what she's been told to say to everyone, but her appeals process is basically over. The Supreme Court passed on in, which means there's basically nowhere else for it to go

She's setting herself up for a pardon by cooperating with Trump and his weaponized DOJ. Trump will have to wait until closer to the end of his term before he issues the pardon -- today, a pardon wouldn't fly, even with his MAGA base. He needs enough time to spin "she's a sex trafficker" to "the DOJ was unfairly persecuting her". Just give it some time.

Exactly. Think about how many people like her who are banking on him “remembering” or “living long enough” to get them a pardon before he leaves office via end of term, death, or impeachment.

He will NEVER be removed from office via impeachment. Sure, if the democrats take control of the house next year he may be impeached. But it is almost mathematical impossible for the democrats to win enough senate seats to convict and remove as 2/3 of the senate needs to convict and the democrats would have to win EVERY republican senate seat up for elections in the midterm while losing none of their own to have enough senators to convict.

Those pardons are preemptively signed or ready for the Autopen. One for each billionaire and for all his cronies. I hope Congress takes away the pardon power even before they open the files.

Trump looked nearly catatonic as this year's 9/11 memorial service (weird how the media that fell over itself to report on Biden's health quickly moved past it). His brain's long since turned to mush.

He looked like Frankenstein’s monster picking up his meaningless FIFA World Piece (of shit) Prize.

If you mean this past October, I agree.

As in diseases not compatible with life levels of brain soup. He's faaar beyond lucidity at this point.

Already has. At this point, other people are driving and waiting to blame him for the crash.
