Trump expects to be arrested next week

Like I said, as an born and raised American I'm bound to have a little of that American libertarianism in me that wants some "law and order"

 

Why are MAGA people so bad at trying to be funny? I mean you guys are funny to laugh at quite often, but the jokes.... I mean did Dennis Miller retire or something? Say what you want about John Stewart, John Oliver, etc. but at least those dudes can crack a freaking joke.

 

It's a symptom of who they are in their core. Humor requires dynamic thinking. By definition, the GOP is conservative and doesn't like different thinking, change, etc. They're boring.

 

They're pretty creative when thinking of ways to punish their opposition.

 

Pretty creative too at exploiting legal loopholes, corrupting government, and getting away with overall white collar criminality.

 

I can't think of a 'creative' thing they've done. What have you seen?

 

Pretty creative with ethnic and racial insults also from my experience in the Marine Corps.

"Sand ******" requires some creativity right?.... Right?

 

The 6 week abortion bounty, independent legislature theory, forced arbitration agreements, grifting for the border wall, sponsoring hateful legislation in general around the country. Yep, they can be maliciously creative when warranted.

 

A map of the legislative districts in Texas is pretty damn creative.

 

toush

 

My congressman's district map drawer is pretty damn creative

 

Glad we were able to have a bi-partisan moment today to praise the talents of the GOP.

 

I'm in the 24th. It is almost as screwed up

 

Trump is a menace to society. All of his enablers and supporters (aka today Republican party) are also a menace to society.

Russian Emails Behind DA Bomb Hoax Amid Trump Probe - Law360

Russian email accounts sent a series of hoax bomb threats targeting the Manhattan district attorney and court buildings for three straight days this week amid a grand jury investigation of former President Donald Trump.

The unsubstantiated threats, now under investigation by the New York Police Department and FBI, were emailed to local government officials at a Manhattan community board, according to police. They came from Russian email addresses in the early morning hours on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, listing government buildings and schools as the targets of alleged pipe bombs, according to the local board official who received them.

"The FBI told me that they appear to be coming from Russia," said Susan Stetzer, district manager of Community Board 3, who read the emails to Law360 Friday. The board received four email threats over the three days, often sent from @mail.ru domains under different names, she said. The NYPD confirmed the board was the recipient of the original bomb threat on Tuesday.

The threats did not mention Trump or the grand jury mulling indicting him for an illegal hush money payment allegedly designed to tip the 2016 election in his favor, the local official said. Still, they used language that echoed his recent attacks on the case, referring to "the downfall of our country" and stating, "You people are destroying America."

...

Beginning last weekend, Trump called for protests of DA Alvin Bragg's investigation with increasingly heated language as he criticized the possible charges against him and incorrectly predicted he would be arrested on Tuesday.

Among a dozen posts on Truth Social about Bragg posted Thursday, Trump called the district attorney an "animal" and "human scum," compared him to Joseph Stalin and the Gestapo, and said, "He is doing the work of Anarchists and the Devil, who want our Country to fail." Trump also posted a link with an image of him holding a baseball bat beside an image of Bragg's head.

"You're still allowed to self-defend in this Country!" Trump posted Wednesday, additionally claiming that anti-fascist "lunatics" are infiltrating conservative gatherings.

Early Friday morning, Trump said that "potential death & destruction in such a false charge could be catastrophic for our Country? Why & who would do such a thing? Only a degenerate psychopath that truely hates the USA!"

The New York City bomb threats used similar rhetoric.

A threat sent Thursday that targeted the district attorney's office and schools said: "You people are disgusting degenerates. **** you and **** everything you stand for. You are responsible for the downfall of our country and you will die," Stetzer said, quoting from the email.

One threat Wednesday read: "Evacuate before the bombs go off. You people are destroying America so we will destroy you," according to Stetzer.

...

Meanwhile, a Manhattan federal judge presiding over a writer's civil defamation and rape suit against Trump on Thursday ruled that jurors in the case will remain anonymous, drawing a link between the former president's recent rhetoric and threats to public safety.

"Mr. Trump's quite recent reaction to what he perceived as an imminent threat of indictment by a grand jury sitting virtually next door to this court was to encourage 'protest' and to urge people to 'take our country back.' That reaction reportedly has been perceived by some as incitement to violence," U.S. District Judge Lewis A. Kaplan wrote. "And it bears mention that Mr. Trump repeatedly has attacked courts, judges, various law enforcement officials and other public officials, and even individual jurors in other matters."

Judge Kaplan noted, however, that "it matters not whether Mr. Trump incited violence in either a legal or a factual sense. The point is whether jurors will perceive themselves to be at risk."

 

Which will happen first?

Truth Social goes out of business

Trump is arrested

 

I'm going with arrest. Trump can start charging for Truth Social and his followers would gladly sacrifice their child's Happy Meal.

 

Fearless leader.

 

Reportedly, he raised 1.5 million dollars in the 3 days after his announcement.
Grifting bigly as usual.

 

Trolled by Trump, Again
Thoughts after a week of waiting and waiting for the indictment that the former President promised.

https://www.newyorker.com/news/letter-from-bidens-washington/trolled-by-trump-again

excerpt:

You’d think that we would know better by now, but here we are, being trolled again by Donald Trump. Whatever else the disgraced, defeated, and possibly soon-to-be-indicted former President is, he is a master when it comes to setting the terms of a media frenzy. Trump knows not only how to get our collective attention but also how to keep it. He flourishes in the absence of hard information to contradict his claims, and he has years of experience using the silence of the legal authorities to focus the debate on their actions rather than his own.
