A lot of ppl just pretend that the Supreme Court already made up their mind, but honestly I'm not sure.

No honor among thieves.

Trump is now on the other side of the power imbalance and if they stick to Trump they can't trust him and might eventually go down with his ship.

There's a good chance they say "fk it, let's get rid of him" so they can formerly make it look like they actually wanna be neutral and just stay in power, which in my opinion is the better move rationally (thinking as a psychopath).

So for me, there is a real choice to be made and I will stay invested. Also, the bond issues on his civil trial still stand iirc, so he's got very slippery pockets and a few vultures are getting acquainted with his situation.

Nah, they know that he's still useful to help them further their goals. Trump is on team Trump, sure, but he got them a lot of what they wanted with just one term. If they let him go to jail, it's practically guaranteeing a second Biden term. Though, voter turnout would probably be pretty low if that were to happen, so they'd likely keep control of the house and be able to force horrible "compromises" with the Democrats for not blowing up the country at that particular moment in time.

He's not useful to anyone. He has no principles so you can't predict what he'll do.

thinking as a psychopath

That's the key to understanding people like that.
