    On what planet does that seem remotely likely at this point? He said it himself, he could shoot an innocent point blank on cam and it would only make him more popular.

      He spent most of this week in a courtroom on trial for falsifying business records to cover for his paying to prevent news coverage of a porn star he slept with, and may well end up in prison if convicted. So yes, it’s possible.

        I’ll believe it when I see it. Doesn’t mean I won’t hope for it though. But something tells me this mfer basically has real life plot armor. At least until now.

        He’s not going to prison. You know that. Besides, even if he did it’s been nearly a decade since he committed those crimes. Regular people don’t get to run free for 8 years after they commit crimes, all while threatening judges and prosecutors. There’s very obviously a different standard for him than the rest of us and that’s not changing. Justice isn’t coming at all, but for the sake of the argument, justice delayed is still justice denied.
