WHO WOULD HAVE BELIEVED IT? I thought he'd turn himself in peacefully and quietly, but instead, we're looking at the possibility of a new January 6, waking up MAGAt sleeper cells all across the USA. Such uncharacteristic behavior from a former one-term twice-impeached president who usually carries himself with a humble, gentle sort of dignity.

(18,837 posts)You're right, the numbers have dropped, but I think the number of MAGAts who are willing to fall on their swords for him has plummeted. It was always about "Patriot CosPlay" anyway...dressing up in reflector shades and camo and lots of flag waving and chest-thumping but no actual time behind bars.

(3,494 posts)Remind all of the MAGA types that while they went out and did TFG's bidding, they were the ones who suffered the full extent of their actions; TFG and the Republican party bailed on them (and protected themselves).

(11,296 posts)What is becoming increasingly evident - is that the country has absolutely no interest in his delusional BS. Expect - little or nothing to transpire on Tuesday - or any other day next week.

No one is going lose everything for him anymore.

(545 posts)I have been busy. Have there been any official confirmation that an indictment is forthcoming? Bragg has said nothing, declined comment.
It is fucking trump. I would not believe a damn thing he says.
He might want to stir things up and foment a riot as a warning (threat) to justice.
Perhaps his lawyers were informed of an indictment but mayhap it will be Thursday.
When no indictment occurs on Tuesday, trump can claim that Justice is afraid to indict him and that will further embolden his mindless zombies. And shit will hit the fan again when (and if) he is "arrested".
It is a gamble... but what has he got to lose? He is all in. Win or die. All or nothing.
My optimism disappeared sometime in 1967. Or was it 1968? No, it was November 1963... I am sure.
Edit to add: Fuck McCarthy too, is he in on this preemptive bullshit? I smell a huge rat fuck.

(111,245 posts)and the ones who have gone to jail for short enough sentences that they're out now are not going to be eager to go back because jail in not a nice place. What I expect to happen is a few circles of chainsmoking idiots who will soon repair to sports bars to drink and talk big.
Personally, I think he's going to gum up the proceedings by forcing them to extradite him from FL, something DeSatan will probably drag his feet on allowing. The fight between them is just publicity grabbing theater.

President Biden must have extra security detail protecting him. As well as the VP, those in his Cabinet and in Congress, and maybe other well-known liberals.
Fox, and other right-wing media have lied constantly and consistently for a very long time preying on the hearts and minds of hard working Americans to the point of turning their brains to mush. Many now have little or no critical thinking skills, or are too plain lazy to think for themselves.
Through the years they have demonized Democrats, and anyone else who honestly and seriously believe in We, the peoples' inalienable right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. You know -- the people (you & I) that TFG has now declared the true enemy of America. How dare he!
I mean, I honestly and seriously believe in equality in life, Liberty, and the pursuit of happiness - literally. TFG and his cultists mouth their beliefs in being true Americans and patriots, yet they don't walk the talk. Many of them are extremely dangerous. Those we have to watch out for.
