It's Trump Indictment Day here in the Neon Fun Jungle. And in your location, too. Even if you live in the Alternative Facts Universe because reality doesn't care about your fantasies. I really don't have to say more but I have to, anyway.
Or else my Editors will fakely and dishonestly say it's too short.
So, I will add: Yay. It was about time and Yippee. And, "Whew!"
And I will remind all the people who said, "Sir, nothing will happen. He won't go to jail and he won't even be arrested," that they can't say that anymore.
They can still say he might not go to jail but not the arrest and "nothing will happen," part.
I will have much more to say on this issue as things develop but not right now. Because this champagne isn't going to drink itself.

All I can say, along with all the other sane people is that it is about high time. I can't stand that B. and I really do hope he spends some time behind bars. Lord knows he deserves it. You can be sure if he doesn't, he will be spending the rest of his days in court..and will probably end up bankrupt with barely a roof over his head. It will be his karmic retribution.

@xander6464 That would be something! I wouldn't shed a tear. Now if we could only get to his buddy Putin...not that they are in the same class...Trump as far as we know, is not a mass murderer.

----------------As far as we know. That's the key phrase.

@TheHorse You may be on to something!
-----------I think so, too. It's not what I want to be on but you know what they say, if you can't be on who you want, love what you are on.

Never is still on the table for a couple of issues but it is getting increasingly dangerous to say.

@TheHorse Many Americans are breathing a huge sigh of relief right now.
---------------I am remaining cautiously optimistic. Despite all the negativity that people keep throwing at me.

Trump still might not be arrested. His private, donation-funded, plane is on stand-by to possibly allow him to flee the country before he can be taken into custody. It all depends on whether his Secret Service detail is made up of corrupt agents loyal to him or trustworthy agents loyal to the Constitution.

That could happen abd if it does, he can be tried and sentenced in absentia and at least that would prevent him from running for President again. Jail won't even do that so it would have an upside.

@TheHorse I had not heard this. But does he really want to commit MORE crimes against the US? I still think he's going to get off with ankle bracelets for the rest of his life.
--------------Home confinement is a very real possibility and I can live with it if it comes to that, A guilty verdict is the primary goal. Actual prison would be icing on the cake.

@evilamericans You are right, being arrested and to go to jail is not exactly the same thing. Usually politicians never go to jail, he could be an exception.

@xander6464 @evilamericans is perfectly right and I should have known, it is the same in my native language you can be "arrested" and "released" without being put to jail.

@LadyDuck According to European newspapers, he will be escorted in front of the Judge, his fingerprints will be taken he will be immediately released and he will never be arrested.
----------------A lot of people here are saying the same thing but as @evilamericans pointed out, it is an arrest.

It's a very big step and it's in the right direction for once.
And this is just the first one. More are coming.

There should be at least three. And the next two are far more important.

@xander6464 although if a conviction comes to fruition in a state court proceeding, it isn't subject to a federal pardon down the line.

@divalounger That is the best thing about a state conviction(s). Even if he gets elected again, he can't pardon himself.

What?! It’s a national holiday (Opening Day). How dare they upstage the Cubs’ first win of the season that way!

@xander6464 — yes. Aaron Judge hit a home run. Of course, this is hardly news.
I called the DA in New York and he said that, since only the Yankees matter, they would postpone the announcement until after the game.

If Trump had been a Democrat and been indicated of the same exact thing that he is being indicated now, would you still be excited about his indictment?

@TheHorse I know this question was not directed at me, but I am not excited. I feel a sense of resignation. But also of relief.
---------------I feel a lot of relief, too.

If he were a Democrat and doing good things for America, he would have been impeached, removed from office, tried for his felonies, convicted and sent to prison before he had been in office for two years. I don't like the Republicans but I admire how they are able to get things done when they are properly motivated. I wish Democrats had their killer instincts.
All things being equal, if he were a Democrat and guilty of the same crimes, yes, I would be in favor of sending him to prison.

It took forever and the next stage is going to take forever, too (6-18 months) and this is just the first indictment. More are coming.
But I still believe that our patience will be rewarded.

@TheHorse Dang it! You stole the headline for my MyLot post about this. I just got home from Guitar Center and heard about it on KCBS news radio.
-----------------------This is why you pay your Headline Department so much. They're going to have to work overtime.
