Is It ME? Are They Going to Arrest ME on Monday?

[MineralMan]

That's the question that's going to be keeping a bunch of former and current Trumpster folks up this weekend. Flop sweat is streaming down foreheads and extra doses of Xanax are being swallowed. Sealed indictments? Dropped on Friday afternoon? A recipe for anxiety and paranoia, to be sure.

Personally, I'm going to enjoy thinking about all those Trumpster functionaries and their panicky state all day today and tomorrow.

"Whatcha gonna do when they come for YOU?"

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

1. I want to see a perp walk.

I want to see Manafort, Flynn, Page, and most especially Kushner, being marched off by federal marshals with their coat over their head. It probably won't happen that way, but I can dream...

[Pacifist Patriot]

13. One of my fantasies too!

[Hortensis]

21. I'll be satisfied with a successful prosecution. This is,

of course, just the beginning.

One former prosecutor last night believed that, strategically, the first indictment would not be for peripheral crimes uncovered by Mueller team but rather would be chosen to advance their central purpose, investigation of the ties between the Trump campaign and the government of Russia, and what has occurred since.

Hope so.

And thanks, MM. I LOVE the realization that dozens of people are having a very, very bad weekend.

22. Until the real Perp Walk

There is this one:

2. Johnny Too Bad

"Johnny Too Bad"

Walking down the road
With your pistol in your waist
Johnny you're too bad

Walking down the road
With your ratchet in your waist
Johnny you're too bad

You're just robbing and you're stabbing and you're looting and you're shooting
Now you're too bad
You're just robbing and you're stabbing and you're looting and you're shooting
Now you're too bad

One of these days
When you hear a voice say come
Where you gonna run to

One of these days
When you hear a voice say come
Where you gonna run to

You're gonna run to the rock for rescue
There will be no rock
You're gonna run to the rock for rescue
There will be no rock

Note: For many years I wondered what a "ratchet" was. After some research, I learned it was an Okapi folding knife, popular among "Rude Boys" in Jamaica.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ratchet knife in Jamaica is a general type of folding knife, generally German-made, considered easy to open quickly and associated with "rude boy" masculinity,[1] the Okapi being a favourite brand

[War Pigs]

44. love reggae and love this song!!!

You're going to run to the rock for rescue.there will be no rock..... Jarvanka and Cheetolini Jr are my picks. Golf away trumpster

[Kleveland]

45. Glad you enjoyed it, and the gist of the posting!

I thought that it seemed appropriate on multiple levels.

John being middle name and all.

I would love to write a parody, change the name to "Donny too bad", and fiddle with the other words a bit.

Cheers!

[Merlot]

3. Trumpstgers think they are above the law

and only the stupid (or those without friends with pardon power) get indicted.

They're to arrogant to worry. They're probably popping popcorn while waiting to see which "low-level" pawn gets taken in.

[PearliePoo2]

4. Are they going to sing like little birdies?

Flip like little fishies?
We're witnessing something extraordinary in history. Our Republic is being tested like never before.
Sure hope we survive it and justice prevails.

5. I hope its a slow, painfully agonizing weekend of terror for these f*cks

Sort of like this:


Or even this:



(Kudos to the first DUer who names both movies...lol, it’s my Halloween treat to you!!)

[Iggo]

6. Night Of The Living Dead and The Hudson Brothers Movie.

Me and my brother still do the "We're doomed. DOOMED" thing.

EDIT: Dangit! I just looked it up. It's called Hysterical. We've always called it The Hudson Brothers Movie.

[Docreed2003]

7. Close but no ceeegar....

The first is NOTLD!

[Iggo]

8. Hysterical. (I looked it up.)

We've always called it The Hudson Brothers Movie.

Loved those guys. Their show and their movie. Nothing but the dumbest jokes. They were great.

[Docreed2003]

12. I havent thought about that in years....

I really need to rewatch that movie, here’s the reference for anyone who doesn’t know:

So freaking funny and they were well ahead of their time in the horror/pop culture spoof genre.

[Leith]

14. I Got Them Both Immediately

but I was on the downstairs computer and not logged in.

Night of the Living Dead as said above

Friday the 13th - the first one. I got it because I watched it 2 weeks ago.

Can I have my kudos now?

[Docreed2003]

15. Lol...

No kuddos for you...NOTLD is correct, the second you were sooooo close but not quite. I will give you kuddos for your screen name! Leath is on of our family names...so maybe we’re kin.

[Leith]

17. "Leath" Is a Really Cool Sounding Name

Too bad it isn't mine.

I came up with it when I was joining another message board. I was listening to the Proclaimers' album Sunshine on Leith at the time. And that's the whole story.

And.... I hate to be a stickler, but...

Edited to add: If this is part 2, why would Ralph be warning the same girl about doom again?

[Docreed2003]

23. Dang...Im gonna have to check that one, lol

My memory banks were that that scene was from 2...

Ralph is in both movies, he’s killed with barbed wire in the second movie.

[Hoyt]

9. As much as I would like the whole bunch to sweat, the indictee's attorney(s) has probably been

notified to prepare them for formal arrest next week.

I'm betting it's the ones we already know about -- Flynn and/or Manafort. Would love for it to be someone unexpected though.

[mopinko]

10. i love the smell of flop sweat in the morning.

[Nevernose]

11. A whole lot of panicked phone calls

Are being recorded this weekend.

[lindysalsagal]

16. Gonna be a run on Depends in all virginia/DC drug stores....

Lots of domestic workers being sent out on errands....don't forget the Pepto-Bismol....

[George II]

18. The bottom line is, if you don't want to be arrested don't do anything illegal.

[calimary]

19. Got visions of handcuffs and orange jumpsuits dancing

in my head, for sure, MM!

The finest in prison wear and chic coordinated accessories for treason weasels and enemy collaborators - on full display! Bring on the wrist jewelry!

My bets are on Paul Manafort as the first model to step out onto the catwalk.

[DinahMoeHum]

20. Heh heh. Pass the popcorn and place your bets.

[relayerbob]

24. Yes, Mr President

We know you are still President until you are impeached, but you'll still have to ask the warden to use the phone.

[erronis]

25. Anti-anxiety remedies? How about some real Sackler pharms?

It's so passe to recommend Xanax.

Get your meds from your local dispensary. Librium? So past its prime.

Oxycontin for everyone!

Now got a new name. Same wealthy family reaping the harvest.

Not that I'd mind having most of the most anxious orange tribe taking some pretty powerful meds.....

[HAB911]

26. I guarantee everyone being investigated is under surveillance tonight regardless if they are charged

I guarantee everyone being investigated is under surveillance tonight regardless if they are charged yet

Let's see who starts acting guilty

Link to tweet

[onenote]

30. I bet you're wrong

There is no reason to do that. The target of the indictee almost certainly has been informed. Notwithstanding what you see on tv, most arrests of this kind are pre-arranged -- the person is told, generally through counsel, and he/she then is given a couple of days to get things in order before surrendering to custody.

[HAB911]

33. "you're"

I think it's a joke anyway

[onenote]

36. Thank you for your service.

[colbertforpresident]

27. A Trump Spokesperson

Thinks that it is going to be John Podesta getting arrested. Let's hope they are wrong.

[barbtries]

28. after watching the news this morning

i think it's more likely that they already know and are making arrangements to turn themselves in with their attorneys.

my fantasy: it's trump, pence, ryan, mcconnell, rohrabacher, nunes, page, sanders, conway, bannon, both kushners, manafort, flynn and his nazi son, miller, and on and on.

and putin for good measure.

a woman can dream.

[onenote]

31. Exactly right. That's how it typically happens

Reality, not TV.

[onenote]

29. I'm sure the person who's going to be arrested has been told in advance.

Arranging for him to be taken into custody on Monday as a courtesy.

[Not Ruth]

34. Why wouldnt they flee to Russia?

[onenote]

35. Because this is the real world, not some fantasy

[First Speaker]

42. Seems to me the distinction between "real world" and "fantasy"...

...has pretty much been lost the past couple of years. These are incredible times. The thought of Trump himself, or any of that crew, fleeing the US to go to Russia seems utterly fantastic--and also, somehow, inevitable. The perfect coda to a surreal epoch...

[cwydro]

43. I know. This whole announce on the Friday thing...

Then waiting for Monday.

I’m not impressed.

[Sunlei]

32. LOL @ "Whatcha gonna do when they come for YOU"

whatever you do don't logon twitter this weekend! I heard kellyannes 13 million troll bots plan a prison riot

[lagomorph777]

37. Mueller played this well.

He's probably listening to numerous frantic phone calls about it tight now, and learning a ton of great shit.

[louis-t]

38. Please wait until Sunday...or Monday...or Tuesday...

And buy stock in the company that makes Maalox.

[MineralMan]

39. I'm bullish on the company that makes Imodium AD.

I think that's a better bet.

[louis-t]

40. Tee Hee.

[C_U_L8R]

41. What if it's all of them ?

be still my heart
