So, it is becoming increasingly clear that Trump is going to eventually be indicted.

Discussion points:

1) IF he is convicted, will he spend time in prison, or will he basically be put on house arrest? I have heard at least one talking head say prison isn't reasonable because he has to be protected by the Secret Service (I think that's a BS point, but what say you?).

2) When will indictment happen? 2022? 2023? Another time down the line?

3) Since this is the Biden thread, I have to include him. Will Biden laugh?

1) If convicted, Trump will spend time in an actual prison. I'm sure they can figure out the security arrangements. I'm not sure if it would be legal, but maybe they just ship him to Gitmo?

2) Indictment happens in late 2022 after midterms. Trial in summer of 2023.

3) Biden will not laugh -- at least not publicly.

Try not to cheer too loud. You might offend the people with newly foreclosed homes in your area (Cleveland leads the country with 1 in every 250 homes entering into foreclosure in 2022). More Biden magic at work.

You Trumpers blamed Biden for the spike in gas prices, so integrity would say you should credit him for the prices going down. Do you have any or not?

No, that doesn't follow. Gas prices almost always peak in late spring/early summer. They are still much higher than normal.

Wait, I think I know this one...I can't be sure, but I'm pretty sure this is right...you're a b!tch!

American citizens don't get sent to Gitmo today, but it would be the perfect place to house Trump.

I don't know if incarceration of an American at Gitmo could be pursued under current law or if we would need an act of congress to make it happen.

I already know climate change costs a lot in theory. But how much of that does *this bill* prevent? and how does it compare to what we would save by not spending money or investing elsewhere?

This bill takes a very substantial amount of GHGs out of the atmosphere and at least gives us a chance to meet our climate goals.

Like I said, the cost of doing nothing on climate is trillions and trillions of dollars. The greater cost is a miserable life for your grandchildren.

but gas prices rising *were* Biden's fault, by your view?

Individuals are responsible for home foreclosures.

I already know climate change costs trillions of dollars. Fighting climate change would also cost trillions of dollars. But *this bill* doesn't save us trillions of dollars.

That sounds nice for them but many people just believe in prioritizing America's interests instead of other country's.

many people believe the 2020 election was stolen. Many people think the J6 commission is a witch hunt. Many people are idiots.

Nope.

Let's suppose hypothetically Biden was responsible for gas prices going from $2 to $4. Then prices went to $5 and back down to $4 due to seasonal trends. That doesn't mean Biden gets credit for lowering them back to a still very high level.
