but still nothing. Georgia, Manhattan, Jan 6.
News media upping their coverage of a Presidential election just under two years away. No mention of any consequences for crimes.

(17,532 posts)Just any second now, I expect to see an avalanche of charges from New York, Georgia and the DOJ...After all, look at the great job they have done prosecuting all of the J6 pawns. This is what I believe is really happening:
"Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
Fritter and waste the hours in an off-hand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way
Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun
And you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death"

(4,516 posts)There IS a deadline here, at least in my mind. Election day, 2024.
A) Trump wins and the coup is completed.
B) Trump loses and we get January Insurrection part deux. They WILL be armed this time.

(4,516 posts)And who is going to shoot them?
I was near a TV when the news of 1-6 was breaking. And any second I expected there to be a fire fight. I keep waiting for it. Yet, throughout the entire ordeal, only ONE shot was fired. Amazing discipline there, I don't know anyone who would have stopped with one shot if there was a lynch mob trying to break into their house. I was always under the impression, apparently mistaken, the rooftops in DC were full of snipers to stop just such an incident. Surely, they don't need a direct order to engage a threat of that magnitude.
Next time? Who knows. How many MAGAt police and military officers would be willing to fire on their buddies? Their family?

(11,631 posts)They keep saying the 4 $35000 checks signed by Trump were to Cohen for legal fees. So what sense does the rest make? Cohen decided for no reason to donate his salary to a porn star??

I do hold out some faint hope myself, but, yes, it always seems that our "justice" system never runs out of i's to dot and t's to cross, which we're all supposed to accept this as "due process" and the only thing standing between us and lynch mob vigilantism.

Isn't this just a distraction?

(3,845 posts)Covering Desantis throwing a ball to a reporter on a baseball field somewhere in Iowa, speculating on how many votes he may get between trips to the toilet?
Nikki Haley breathed and said something unintelliglible. Let's see how that helps her against Trump. Can she take some of his base or is it too solid to break?
Trump moved ahead of Desantis by six hundreths of a percent in the boondock poll from the northeastern tip of Maine. How is that going to translate over to his base and give him a margin over Biden?
Blah blah blah.
We'll talk after there's been a real indictment for seditious conspiracy against the United States Government. Until then, all this election talk is pointless chatter.
