    I said it years ago, after it became clear that punishment for Jan 6th was going to be slow. Trump won. He shat all over our democracy and its people, pillaged the country as much as he could. And by the time any real consequences reach him, he will be too far mentally gone as to be meaningless.

      It will still mean something to him as long as he is mentally aware enough to have any sense of self, as the narcissist is strong in him. Once his cognitive decline rids him of that sense of self he’ll just be a confused angry old man, but he won’t have that drive to be a Dictator and rule anymore.

      It would actually be kind of interesting if he declined in such a way that with that sense of “self” disappearing, if he would actually feel any remorse for being a piece of shit to anyone and everyone around him before it all just slips away.
