Trump will do anything to avoid jail, even throw his kids under the bus to save his skin, and it seems like he already threw Eric Trump while testifying under oath in New York Attorney General Letitia James’ case against the Trump Organization.

When he was asked if he is the one with the “ultimate decision-making authority” at the Trump Organization, he responded, “No. My son Eric is much more involved with it than I am. I’ve been doing other things.” This immediately caught the eye of New York Times correspondent Maggie Haberman, who said on CNN that it’s “notable” that Trump threw his own son Eric to the wolves by “making Eric the front person in the context of this lawsuit” and fingering his son as the “responsible party” in the Trump Organization’s fraud.

Seems like a pathetic ending to Trump’s criminal family enterprise.

His back bone is as sturdy as wet spaghetti.

Is there an organism in the universe that is surprised he'd chuck his kids under a bus?

Trump may or may not wind up in the clink -- but these guys certainly are:

Quote:Enrique Tarrio, former national chairman of the right-wing Proud Boys, was sentenced Tuesday to 22 years in prison after being convicted of spearheading a plot to stop the certification of the 2020 election results, culminating in the Jan. 6 Capitol attack.

His sentence is the highest handed down to anyone in connection with the riot by four years. Before handing down Tarrio’s sentence, U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly said he would not grant the full 33-year sentence sought by federal prosecutors but would grant a higher sentence than other extremist members in the hopes it would act as a deterrent.

Oath Keepers leader Stewart Rhodes was sentenced in May to 18 years in prison, and Proud Boy Ethan Nordean — one of Tarrio’s lieutenants — received the same sentence last week.

It's not life in prison, but it'll have to do.

With what is going on with those cases against him, it looks like Trump is now using social media to attack people and threaten them. He must be desperate, but I can't help but feel his threats are mostly empty, and that he is just trying to move people to do things for him rather than actually delivering on his threats and attacks, if you know what I mean.

Just thought I would mention this kind of thing in a thread like this.

I'm hoping the outfall of the Jan 6 participants getting jail time will be a deterrent. The chump called for other misbehavior (drawing a blank on the details, atm) and his faithful are hesitating because of this. But it only takes one...

So, you are saying his supporters are starting to become hesitant about his calling for misbehavior?

I mean, that could change, and as you said, it only takes one, but in the meantime, if that is what you mean, good.

Probably not.

And, unfortunately, not going to hell, either...

I heard today that one prosecutor has filed for a stricter gag order because of the threats/attacks.

That is exactly what I've seen reported in the news. And yes, that is a good thing.

Perhaps as the Jan 6th crew falls one-by-one, some of the other ones will realize that another fit like that would be a bad idea.

Not that I give the Trump Cult a whole lot of credit for having sense but surely a few of them don't want to end up in prison.

As for a gag order - I am thinking an actual gag on Trump would be a good idea - as well as entertaining.
