Which is why they should make their decision soon. If they rule he has immunity, then Biden will have time to commit whatever crimes against Trump he can and would then be immune from prosecution for it. Personally, I'm hoping for a public caning.

Caning? You are much more kind than I am.

Yeah, everyone shows up with a cane and one-by-one hits him with their cane and then shoves it up his butt. Whoever makes him pop like a pinata gets their picture on his Wikipedia page.

Well that's just the top of the list. I'll leave anything worse for others to write out. 😂

How about if we get The SloMo Guys to film it?

To misquote Destiny's Child: I don't think we're ready for that jelly

You are failing to remember how vain Trump is, a public caning would destroy every ounce of him psychologically, but I think he should get a public caning after he gets the Cersei Lannister walk of shame treatment.

Agreed id do a public blood eagle.

Pick flogging, flogging sounds more fun to watch.

As someone with (consensual) experience with both - caning hurts more (for me, anyway).

Cane someone on the soles of their feet and make them walk afterward? That's good sadism.

Bastinado. Chef's kiss.
