Trump's photo of himself brandishing a baseball bat next to New York DA Alvin Bragg

[Atticus]

sure reminded me of how, in "The Untouchables", Al Capone was shone literally beating the brains out of a man with a --- baseball bat.

Just a coincidence, I'm sure.

1. Yep. that was the intended analogy.

[Walleye]

2. I don't think anybody thought he wanted a baseball game

[orthoclad]

3. It was a bad photoshop, too

Made him look skinny.

4. There's all kinds of BS posts about Bragg on twitter.

For example, Trump talked about how Bragg only got 10% of the Manhattan vote.
Bragg got 86% of the vote when he won.
But that was only 10% of the Manhattan population including children. (not as many turned out for that election - particularly since it was a landslide for a less prominent role)

Of course, Bragg joins Biden and a number of Democrats as a target of smearing - a badge of honor I guess.

5. Think of the great 'images' of Presidents of the past:

*Washington crossing the Delaware
*the amazing, courageous men (including Jefferson and Adams) signing the Declaration of Independence
*Lincoln on the Civil War battlefield
*Teddy Roosevelt on San Juan Hill
*FDR with Congress - Day of Infamy
*Eisenhower as Commander-in-Chief with his troops
*JFK's Inauguration - "Ask not........"
*Nixon talking to Apollo 11 astronauts
*Carter - Arab-Israel Peace Treaty
*Obama - starring down Putin
*tRump batting right-handed with DA Bragg on the T-ball stand!

Yeah, THAT'S making America great again.......

6. Not going to intimidate Bragg and he knows it. Always the cowardly bull

He’s trying to incite violence among others. It’s always his method and there always seems to be plenty of fools ready and willing to do his bidding. I’ve never understood that. You’d think after seeing an unending prelcessions of followers he’s abandoned they’d wise up.

7. There may be some reaction coming ...

I am requesting that the Office of the New York County District Attorney issue a warrant for the immediate arrest of Donald Trump for explicitly threatening harm to DA Bragg & generally calling for violence.

He looks like he's been around the block a few times, is familiar with many of the laws Trump would have broken and would know the right buttons to push in these circumstances.

Having said that, Bragg has probably got something underway.

If part of what Bragg was considering was tampering or obstruction, Trump's behavior might have sealed the deal on that conviction.

This will only piss off Bragg, and I'm sure Fauni Wilis, Letitia James, Jack Smith, and everyone else who is dealing with this fucker is watching, as well. I can't imagine any of them like what they're seeing.

Goddamn, Trump is stupid.
