Politics Won’t End On Election Day. Next Up: An Indictment Of Donald Trump

Election Day is here. Tomorrow, all eyes will be focused on the election returns. We’ll be up late because a lot of races are close and many of those close rates are happening in the West, including Arizona, Washington and Nevada.

It may take days to find out who actually controls the Senate because Georgia forces a run-off election (December 6) if neither candidate gets over 50% tomorrow. Pennsylvania has litigation pending about whether to count mail-in ballots that are unsigned or undated as required by law, and Arizona doesn’t even begin to open mail-in ballots until after the polls close.

Other elections may be close enough to permit recounts. So, all things considered, the election day results may take days or weeks to sort out.

In the meantime, the 2024 presidential election campaign will begin the day after the 2022 polls close. It will be a long two years.

We could have 2024 election campaigning even as the 2022 votes are still being counted. As usual, Trump will be the center of attention whether you love him or despise him (and there are plenty of people in both camps).

Here are two big events that will be coming in a matter of days after the election. Trump will announce he’s running for president in 2024. The announcement is expected on November 14, 2022, although that date could move a few days one way or the other.

The Democrats will stop at nothing to destroy Trump. (We know that because they’ve been trying so hard for the last seven years including the Russiagate hoax, two impeachments, a criminal investigation of the Trump family businesses, fake news, tax return scavenger hunts and a lot more).

The next tactic, as reported in this article, will be a criminal indictment of Trump personally. The Democrats did not want to do this before the mid-term elections because it would be too blatantly political. Likewise, they can’t wait until too late in the election cycle for the same reason – it looks like the Department of Justice interfering in a presidential election. So, the window for an indictment is probably the 120-day period from December 1, 2022, to April 1, 2023.

If both stories play out, we’ll have the spectacle of an announced candidate for president standing as a defendant in a criminal case probably based on the “insurrection” of January 6, 2020, which was nothing more than an unruly riot and far from a real insurrection.

If you’re tired of hyper-partisan politics, you might want to consider early retirement in Polynesia. That may be the only place that isn’t saturated with the “go for the throat” brand of politics we’re about to witness.
