How bad will the violence be when Trump is arrested Tuesday, or whenever?

If the charges are going to be anything like what John Edwards went through...I wouldn't get my hopes up. Hope it's worth it. Because it certainly won't end Trump's political career like it did with Edwards.

Former presidential candidate John Edwards was accused of funneling nearly $1 million in donor contributions to support his pregnant mistress and criminally charged with a campaign finance violation. Here's how the case played out.

A grand jury indicted Donald Trump, likely over a "hush-money" payment to Stormy Daniels. A similar case unfolded in 2011 against John Edwards.

wtf is it going, and why is it taxiing on a highway?

Bruh...

 

[shortylickens]

By the way CNN doesnt even need to go out investigating any more. They just repost the shit from Fox

For one side, its bragging.
For another side, its just simple information. Good times.
Also every Republican in office right now is an evil stupid piece of shit. And its a good thing Bush & McCain didnt live to see that circus.

So Gym Jordan, Bryan Steil, and James Comer are requesting (demanding) that Bragg appear to testify about why he is conducting what they claim is a politically motivated attack against the former guy. “You are reportedly about to engage in an unprecedented abuse of prosecutorial authority: the indictment of a former President of the United States and current declared candidate for that office,” the three wrote. "In light of the serious consequences of your actions, we expect that you will testify about what plainly appears to be a politically motivated prosecutorial decision." Pretty laughable that GOP members of the House want to inject themselves in a local criminal investigation. A subpoena has not been issued and Bragg, to my knowledge, has not responded to their request. His response options should include any of the following: 1) Completely ignore the request even if subpoenaed, 2) Let them know he works for the state of New York and not the Federal Government, 3) Tell them that he is investigating a crime that has been committed and it's his job to enforce the law, 4) Tell them to pound sand, 5) Tell them to ES&D.

Can Bragg respond to Jordan, “fuck you white boy”?

Someone earlier in this thread was casting doubt about Trump getting arrested on Tuesday. NYT is reporting that barriers are going up around Federal buildings in NYC.

Active investigation is going to be said a lot

Considering how Trump has gotten into so much trouble from simply being the self-serving juvenile-minded crime lord spoiled brat that he is, there's no logical reason why he would still have the support of over 70 million Americans knowing how often he lies, how often he incriminates himself from his own words and deeds.

Worse still, the more he gets himself in trouble, the more tightly his supporters cling to him as their leader and spokesperson. Even if I posed the question that if Trump were a Democrat would they still think of him as the "tell it like it is genius" that would Make America Great Again or would he now just be another radical left nobody? Meaning, the only reason they like Trump is for no other reason than he picked their side and not the other? That every single good thing they could think about Trump would now simply vanish into the heavens because he's not "one of them" anymore?

Republicans are straight up evil. Look at any country's population and political movement in the last 150 years that went straight up nuts whether fascist or dictatorial on any side of the spectrum, That is today's Republicans.

We can learn from history and know what is coming. Or we can choose to ignore it and think people like meatball Ron and others are going to respect our institutions.

Maybe we should get guns instead of being pro-gun control

JFC that microphone sounds like shit.

I would recommend any liberal to get a gun and learn how to use it and keep it in a gun safe with ammo. If you don't want to own a gun just yet at least learn how to shoot one.

I look forward to another riot because #1 it would be funny to watch even more maga arrested, tired and sent to prison all while Donald Trump cuts a deal to free himself.
#2, adding to the current number of jailed and imprisoned maga just has to be a good thing, right?
#3, it would be funny to watch convicted maga pleading stupidity, and exhibiting their buyers remorse as to why they did what they did for Donals Trump. "I MUST HAVE BEEN OUT OF MY MIND," Yes, you are out of your mind.

Donald Trump is pure poison and everyone Trump comes in contact with pays the price for dancing with the devil. You'd think those maga people would at some point figure this out for themselves, but I doubt that. Trump will call his maga to riot, they will, they'll be arrested, and they will end up serving prison terms. Actually, it's all quite amusing to watch.

I don't know why I feel this way, but I do believe the entire Trump Republican Party is about to self destruct starting with the maga house of reps all the way down to the Trump deplorable's. This house of cards is looking pretty shaky.

Makes the case that nothing will happen of consequence in New York City by virtue of indictment of Donald Trump:

NYC has 36,000 badge and gun toting cops and the courthouse is easily defended. The violent wackos for Trump are already under arrest, in jail or in prison after Jan. 6.

Trump won't be indicted on Tuesday. Wednesday on the other hand...

But how many of those 36,000 cops are Trump supporters?

And of those Trump supporters, how many dont want to lose their jobs or face jail time?

I mean that could just be in response to lots of people threatening to turn up to protest.

Imagine the place turning into a warzone coz of Trump.

And the Biden administration being forced to negotiate with Trump for a ceasefire.

Unlikely scenario but IF it happens, the world is screwed.

I don't know, but 85% of the voters in New York voted against him in 2016 IIRC. I figure not a lot of cops on the beat in NYC support him.

 

[sdifox]

I want to see meatball's anti protesting law used against any magats that show up to interfere with the traitor's arrest. Protesting ain't allowed in Florida, don'tcha know? Wouldn't want to get run over now would we?

DeSanti can't wait to sink Trump.

That says a lot. New Yorkers having lived with him for decades know him best.

You would not be correct. First, lots of NYC cops don’t actually live in the city. Second, they are big Trumpkins.

Most of the cops don't live in NYC. Try Staten Island and LI. Those 2 areas are heavily MAGA.
