Reacting to a report that Donald Trump is likely to be indicted next week in a Manhattan courtroom by District Attorney Alvin Bragg, and the former president's claim on Truth Social early Saturday that he will be arrested on Tuesday, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) flipped out on Twitter and called for the defunding of the Department of Justice.
On Truth Social, in a two-part, all-cap post littered with misspellings, the former president wrote, in part: "NOW ILLEGAL LEAKS FROM A CORRUPT & HIGHLY POLITICAL MANHATTAN DISTRICT ATTORNEYS OFFICE, WHICH HAS ALLOWED NEW RECORDS TO BE SET IN VIOLENT CRIME & WHOSE LEADER IS FUNDED BY GEORGE SOROS, INDICATE THAT, WITH NO CRIME BEING ABLE TO BE PROVEN, & BASED ON AN OLD & FULLY DEBUNKED (BY NUMEROUS OTHER PROSECUTORS!) FAIRYTALE, THE FAR & AWAY LEADING REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE & FORMER PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, WILL BE ARRESTED ON TUESDAY OF NEXT WEEK. PROTEST, TAKE OUR NATION BACK!"
That led to the controversial Georgia Republican to demand "Enough of this!" and attack the DOJ.
"If the Manhattan DA indicts President Trump, he will ultimately win even bigger than he is already going to win. And those Republicans that stand by and cheer for his persecution or do nothing to stop it will be exposed to the people and will be remembered, scorned, and punished by the base. President Trump did nothing wrong and has always fought for the American people, and we all know it, which is why we love him. And any Republican who thinks the Democrats will stop this madness once Trump is out of the way is fooling themselves," she wrote. "Weaponized Government and Political Persecution are new chapters in their playbook and they will use those methods against anyone who stands in their way. And we are absolutely fed up with the two-tiered justice system or rather INJUSTICE system in America. The base has had enough of Republicans that wont stand up for the people and against the Democrats war against Trump, his admin, his supporters, and traditional values."

Going to go kamikaze MTG? I see you want to defund the police. You also identify with Trump because of his belief in traditional values like cheating on one's spouse.

(64,827 posts)First, 80 million people voted AGAINST TFG, in a huge turnout I believe was heavily influenced by Americans' desire to see him gone.
Arresting him won't change those minds.
Second, when a guy loses by 7+ million votes, the notion that he was "already going to win" is delusional.
Third, people who still by letter will turn out in big numbers in the primaries because they don't want a criminal at the top of the ticket.

(2,357 posts)The Queen of Hearts is a fictional character and the main antagonist in the 1865 book Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll. She is a childish, foul-tempered monarch whom Carroll himself describes as "a blind fury", and who is quick to give death sentences at even the slightest of offenses. One of her most famous lines is the oft-repeated "Off with his/her head!" / "Off with their heads!"

(82,849 posts)Unless you're lying when you say, "Trump . . . will ultimately win even bigger than he is already going to win," shouldn't you and your hero welcome criminal indictments? Unless you're lying, which is always a possibility if not certainty whenever you pop off.
