It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Not after he immediately pardons himself
There's so many possibilities here for hilarious timelines, these trials are a gift no matter what the outcome
he can't pardon a state level offense (That's why Biden's mass pardoning of marijuana possession was so fucking meaningless. How many people have federal small possession charges), the thing would have to be kicked up to federal level for him to do that I think, and no federal judge wanted to touch this. A federal judge may step in now to save his ass, but it's probably not even necessary.
I am fully expecting him to pardon himself, and every lib to go "NO THE PRESIDENT CAN'T PARDON STATE LEVEL CRIMES" and then the courts to do nothing about it.
that would be the funniest outcome
I think the timeline could go like this:
Trump actually goes to jail and runs from prison -> Libs stupidly do everything in their power to make running from prison impossible, implausible, or illegal -> Republicans finally elect a competent fascist -> Fascist uses precedent set of throwing former presidents (or anyone) in jail to imprison opponents -> Liberals:
