So Trump's campaign manager tweeted this out, and if you want to kick him and Trump in the nuts, now's the time to do it by supporting one of the Dem candidates especially Biden with some fundage.

@TheAbbotTrithemius The only thing trump will be able to use that money for... is for attorneys from jail

@catlynne333

Unfamiliar with RICO laws, but could those be applied to Trump's assets in proportion to damage wrought?

If so, he'd have to settle for a public defender I figure..

@TheAbbotTrithemius

@MisterE

Guess Trump is safe from RICO as it only applies to *organised* crime... 🤪

@catlynne333 @TheAbbotTrithemius

@stark Not necessarily as it has been used on politicians before.

I really think the Southern District of New York will be able to get him after he leaves the presidency, which he will do one way or another.

@catlynne333 @TheAbbotTrithemius

@MisterE

I hope so, and that they RICO him and his entire criminal family into the ground leaving only a smoking crater. Figuratively speaking.

@catlynne333 @TheAbbotTrithemius

@TheAbbotTrithemius

Never Biden. If he’s the nominee, yes, I will vote blue, etc.

But I don’t like him one bit.

@Kitty62862

Really? JOOC, why?

I'm not asking to start any ruckus; frankly, I see him as...a fairly inoffensive candidate.

To be clear: I would LOVE to see a woman in office (& see America join the ranks of...well, the rest of the civilized world), however, I fear we're just so very backward, a female candidate running against a male candidate would hand it to the repubs.

@TheAbbotTrithemius

@netspionage @TheAbbotTrithemius

First and foremost, he’s wayyyyy outdated.

More palatable than angry grampa, but that’s not saying much.

@Kitty62862

At this point, I'd vote for a damned legume over Trump, frankly.

That said... I can't really disagree with you there.

To be clear, if (say) ten years from now, AOC runs for POTUS, she'll likely have my vote (assuming I'm still above ground); my fear - which seems alarmingly accurate - is this country is too damned puritanical & misogynistic to have a female president :(

Ten years not needed.

Baby girl reaches constitutionally mandated minimum age in October of 2024. Prior to Election Day.

(I call her baby girl out of affection and admiration. She’s a Bronx Latina. They’re made of steel and firecrackers 😎)

@Kitty62862

I stand corrected (why do I keep thinking she's 26...? That was the reason I was thinking circa 10 years; 9; whatever. I'm not getting brighter with age).

Well, if I'm around in 2024 (fingers crossed), I'll vote for her then.

@TheAbbotTrithemius

@netspionage @TheAbbotTrithemius

I spent many years in what is now her district. She is such a true representation of the majority of her constituents.

I’ve known many women like her.

They are the nicest, kindest, most enthusiastic, sincere people.

Do not ever cross them, or try to make things difficult for them.

Pure steel and firecrackers.

@Kitty62862

That does my sick, black, evil old heart some good to hear :)

@TheAbbotTrithemius

@netspionage @TheAbbotTrithemius

They forgive.

They don’t forget.

Ever.

The teenager who sweeps the hallway, just because she thinks it’s the right thing to do, she knows about that time you pissed off her Abuelita.

Even though she wasn’t born yet.

I kid you not.

@Kitty62862 @TheAbbotTrithemius

While I can't prove this, I had a conversation with my mother about this in the 1980s, and I said at the time (and she actually agreed) that America would see a "black *man* [as POTUS] before a *woman* would ever be elected".

So...while I was overjoyed to see Obama in, I was kinda saddened as well, as it...well, it kinda made my prediction right.

Iceland, the UK...I don't care to list every single country that's evolved past us; it's kind of a bummer :(

@netspionage @TheAbbotTrithemius

I said it in the spring of 2008.

I’ve never shared this, but my daughter and I watched that official nomination festivity, in 2016. I held her close to my face and whispered “No more limits. Dream it, work for it, have it”. It’s the closest I’ve come to tears since I don’t remember when. Maybe 2009.

The election results took my major depression, and threw a molotov cocktail into it.
