"A nice country you have there.... be a shame to lose it".

Donald Trump threatens the country with unknown violence if he is indicted. It would be big troubles if that happened, he says.

From one shocking comment to another, people are taken aback by the brazen lawlessness of the former "president". (He was never a president) Now he is down to his last cards. He will incite his people to take to the streets and commit unimaginable crimes if the law attempts to hold him accountable.

Also, you don't know what secrets he is still holding and he is not going to tell you. He is above the law. He is bigger than the United States of America. He will make your life miserable.

He has assaulted the senses of Americans of all stripes and dares them to do anything about it.

IOW, would TFG still get minions to show up to reek mayhem after the prosecutions of January 6? And if they did, would the Government actually shoot at them. I mean, more than Ashley Babbitt? Are they delusional that TFG will bail them out? He hasn't done anything of significance other than symbolic gestures regarding January 6.

was also a promise to pardon them for anything they do to get him reelected. Voter fraud. Voter intimidation. Fake electors. Insurrection. All chaos & violence will be pardoned if they can get him back in the White House again.

And if that happens, America is over. "How much damage can he do in four years?" a friend of mine asked when she saw how distressed I was when he "won." We're finding out now, with the likes of Judge Cannon.

1. Show up when I tell you.
2. You will get me back in charge.
3. You will be rewarded for getting me back in charge.
4. No harm, no foul.

A common result of capitalism.

His attitude about the documents is the same as everything else, “give me all your stuff, then we’ll talk who it belongs to.”
