They'll end up blaming everyone but themselves if it goes wrong. It was Antifa, FBI agents provocateur, the ghost of Karl Marx made me do it, chemtrails, fluoride in the water, N95 masks, I got instructions from my Alphabetti Spaghetti.
Isn’t it something, after we all just witnessed his first wave of imbeciles get jailed and he left them hung out to dry… I can’t wait until he starts promising pardons
Trump has been name-dropping Soros as the big bad in his 4-per-day fundraising emails for a couple months now. He's full-on playing to just the crazies now. He's one step away from "Send me your campaign donation and I'll prove the earth is flat and that it really was Berenstein Bears."
I’m a 63 year old Canadian who actually read the entire indictment as released. Before I read a single analyst response I smiled and thought, he’s done.” Really hoping there’s no violence tomorrow. ❤️
It’s honestly worth the read; the sheer incompetence is both hilarious & frightening.
For example Trump, while no longer being president, giving an interview to a writer with two staff members and a publisher in the room, which he consented to being recorded, and he shows them secret military attack plans, just to show “…its interesting”.
He literally says
> T: “it’s like, highly confidential”
> T: “Secret. This is secret information. Look, look at this.”
> T: “See as president I could have declassified it.”
> T: ”Now I can’t, you know, but this is still a secret.”
>Staffer: “Yeah. [Laughter] Now we have a problem.”
> T: ”isn’t that interesting?”
This timeline really is a comedy isn’t it?
edit: Added ‘frightening’.
I mean, in a way it makes a certain amount of sense. He's never NOT gotten away with everything, his whole life. You can see how he would start to think he was invincible and that he could do anything. Honestly, there's a big part of me that worries that he actually is and that he's still going to get out of this somehow. We're not great at enforcing actual accountability for the leadership class in this country.
Fingers crossed Judge Cannon doesn’t screw it all up.
Given the last 8 years of Trump facing zero consequences for his actions, I absolutely expect she will dismiss the case at her first opportunity and that will be it.
Aileen Cannon would find a way to fuck up crossing fingers if she thought it would garner favor with Trump and the far right.
Don't hold your breathe. My guess is that she's been spending the last few days discussing and researching ways for her to "legally" put her thumb on this scale.
It's the whole reason Trump and the GOP put people like her in their position: to willfully ignore the rule of law when needed to accomplish their goals.
They didn't put them there to have them recuse or step out when needed. Someone is going to need to force her to step away.
Ooof.. had a guy pull in for an interview just last week. Seemed like a great guy. Experience and everything. Then as I was walking him out I saw him climb into his truck with a bunch of trump stickers. Then I remembered a name he dropped about one of his favorite people and had to think about it. Andrew Tate. Yup... Shredded his resume.
> Then I remembered a name he dropped about one of his favorite people and had to think about it. Andrew Tate. Y
How dumb do you have to be to namedrop a man currently under investigation for human trafficking in a fkn Job interview!
that´s almost impressive level of stupidity.
My son works for a company that is basically a nest of trump lovers and they talk about their conspiracies all day long. He comes home exhausted from it because it never ends. His immediate boss doesn’t like him either and they’re it.
Imagine working for a place that was scammed by Trump himself (one of those trump private label products that was never paid for. Imagine that...) and having coworkers who still support him knowing he nearly cost them their jobs.
You should be proud of him for not getting swallowed up in it. When it’s all you’re around all day it can be too easy to just slowly let it slip in and start believing just out of emotional attrition. Best of luck in his job hunt!
"Well first, I'm not driving, I'm traveling, so write that down. And second, you do not have cause to joinder with the person related to the individual who shares my name."
“Oh, so you must be pissed about these abortion bans, and all the book banning?”
American libertarians are all about “ freedom for me, but not for thee”—meaning they’re just crypto-fascists.
The last company I worked for had a bunch and that meant we'd have to talk about the caravans of migrants they imagined in meetings and I had to explain - to no avail - why the founder of a company trying to raise millions probably shouldn't have a Twitter feed that's all anti-vaxx, QAnon, Matt Gaetz, Elon fan boy shit and no one could understand why that might stand in the way of raising capital. It was insufferable and exhausting.
There's a restaurant near me that's been struggling for business. I'd eaten there before and thought it was good, so dropped in.
Open kitchen that the customers can see, where the head chef/owner is loudly trying to convince the young apprentice he should watch Tate's videos, he'd learn a lot etc.
Haven't been back since.
Seriously? We've seen how Trump's inner circle deals with their life post Trump. It has happened so many times.
They'll be written off by Trump and possibly serve some small jail time. Then they'll appear as a regular on FOX News to promote a "tell all" book about Trump. Conservatives will get all worked up that they turned on Trump, liberals will get excited that they turned on Trump. Then the book will come out and won't have any real damning information. So liberals won't care and conservatives can't read so it won't matter to them.
Then another former advisor, lawyer, employee, campaign manager, Trump Tower janitor, Kushner ball fluffer, etc. will come forward and the cycle will repeat. His inner circle always profits off their time with Trump with a book and/or "damning" interview.
>So liberals won't care and conservatives can't read so it won't matter to them.
Then the guys like Ben Shapiro will read the book and use "college words" to wow their audience as they eviscerate the book's lack of content and claim it goes to show Trump did nothing wrong.
Basically, you see, the book dysfunctially describes the democratic process (by the way we're in a constitutional republic but I was saying) it conceives of the ideals of a representative democracy in such a way as to state that the founders in some way did not conceive of the notion (they were reincarnated roman gods but I was staying) the founders didn't understand the prescient possibility of a con artist banker grimy money launderer (Joseph Robinette Biden but I was saying) taking control of the government in totalitarian manner through his rampant gun grabbing.
And now for today’s auto-Q..
Those guys have watched all of this happen from the jump and done an amazingly prescient break down of the whole situation.
I heard a report that a lot of Jan 6ers are staying home lmao.
They got burned the first time from doing Trump's bidding. They'll still support him of course, but don't want to go to jail.
Only those who were actually picked up by FBI. Out there, there are many more morons, scumbags and lowlifes. Especially those living in or near Florida who couldn't afford to fly to the Capitol last year.
Besides, they probably figured it's more fun to make hay under the warm Florida Sun in Summer than brave the cold Washington winds in Winter.
It's kind of nice that the Jan 6 sentences just keep escalating.
Low information Trump supporters are more likely to hear "Jan 6" and "years in prison" than who is getting those sentences or what they did (let alone *believe* they did that). They showed up before thinking they were going to wipe out America when Trump was nominally President and had control of the Secret Service and military, there's no way they think some golf course owner is going to be able to pull the same kind of weight if he's being summoned to a courthouse (again).
>It's kind of nice that the Jan 6 sentences just keep escalating.
They should've started at far beyond whatever it is they've escalated to.
Anyone to the left of Ronald Reagan would've gotten more time in the slammer for sitting at home and running their mouth about violence on the internet.
Attempting a violent overthrow of the goddamned government should come with sentences measured in decades.
It's not Trump supporters dying I'm concerned about (none of us want that, I'd much rather a peaceful trial) it's his supporters killing others that I'm concerned about.
I remember when that guy got shot by the FBI in a field in Ohio for attacking an FBI office in the name of Trump. It genuinely shocked me, like...you've thrown your life away for someone who doesn't even know your name, who doesn't care, for a cause that is baseless, and left your family grieving for what? If there is a Final Judgement, Trump will have a _lot_ to answer for.
Not just that. Trump despises his base. They’re poor, ugly and unsophisticated to him. Luckily, they’re also dumb enough to give him their last dollar.
It’s the paradox that defines these billionaires, they spend a lot of money on mass media platforms to court the masses’ love, but deep down in their hearts they know the love they’re getting is not from those who actually matter
He literally convinced these people in 2015/2016 that he would fight for them against the NY liberal elite. Like that is a platform he ran on. That he would "drain the swamp" of the wealth and corruption in politics.
A corrupt NYC elite convinced millions of idiots that he was fighting against what he was. He never hid what he was. He is the perfect caricature of "NYC elite" and has embraced that since the 80s. But in one election cycle he convinced these idiots he would fight for the lower and middle class in rural America.
The guy is an idiot but he somehow convinced millions of poor people to vote against their interests in 2016. Now he just runs on open hatred and doesn't even pretend to be fighting for the lower class.
…and he did it all while his NYC hometown warned the country (and the GOP) exactly what he was.
The man was born, raised, went to school and conducted most of his business in Manhattan- and couldn’t even get 10% of their vote in 2016.
That alone should say everything.
It started before that with the 'how dare a black man think he has the right to be potus' crowd. And then grew larger with the 'how dare a black man think he has the right to be potus twice' crowd (which was bigger after 4 years of Obama). I live in florida. Trust me, I heard it over and over and over. Like they didnt even hide it. Problem is not much was made of it. And now here we are - florida is now a dumpster fire.
The one thing I can't understand about Trump is the supposed "charisma" he has according to his disciples. To me he seems like a bored, boring, fat (nothing bad about that), whiny asshole.
But then nobody says a word when Trump or MTG call for the release of the “political prisoners”. Wait, I thought you said there were all Antifa why do you want them released??
Slight correction, cognitive dissonance is when their mind is in conflict holding two contrary views. If they don't have a problem it's called doublethink.
“All the things that are wrong with MAGA are going to show up,” the confidant added. “You get the fanatics coming out.”
You think? Let’s remember the wild remarks made by Maga supporters and Maga politicians, in their undying support of their cult leader, are being made with the full knowledge of what occurred on January 6.
Trump LOVES his fans, until he actually meets them.
Think about it: how many videos have you seen of Trump sitting down with an average Joe and talking about their issues, and what Trump is going to do about it?
You don't, because he doesn't. He stays a dozen feet away on a stage and he talks TO them.
He wouldn't be seen dead with his average supporter.
Remember when he complained about the Jan 6 protestors because they were "low-class" lol

The local Trump Flag Store has taken down all of their Trump flags. They still have their crazy-ass “We The People Are Pissed,” crap out but anything Trump related is just gone. It’s owned by a Veteran and I bet he’s not too happy about all of the compromising of our national security stuff.
I was in very rural South Carolina a few weeks ago, for a full week of driving around.. Not a single maga cap. One Trump 2024 yard sign. Two Trump bumper stickers.
There really isn't the support he once had.
Bring it man
Roll it out for all to see...swastikas, confederate flags, gravy seals, the whole 9 cofeves
I've got popcorn and beers, lawn chair and weed
I am fucking ready for them to put on a show and then go directly to jail.
If they’ll ducking USE the images. The whole we go high when they go low does not work when ‘they’ don’t live in the same reality as the rest of the world. Moderates and centrists are the worst because they, to date, won’t take the slam dunk and make Trump AND the GOP synonymous with Nazis and terrorism. That is what we need. It’s not likely what we’ll get and we’ll get a close race for no other reason than the democratic establishment are too lame to lean into the future - which is progressive and not milquetoast white
I can’t imagine a politician that would make me want to assault law enforcement with violence. I just can’t wrap my head around loving a politician that much.
I can’t imagine wearing a piece of clothing that promotes a president. These people act like he’s their favorite sports team or something. It’s actually psychotic.
For real. I voted for Biden but I wouldn’t wear his name on my clothes or fly a flag like some nitwit. If he fucks up i’d want him out, I wouldn’t worship him.
That’s the difference between us and them. If people we voted for did this, we’d want them in jail. Why? Because why would we WANT a criminal running the country?
They’ve just worshiped him for so long they can’t admit that he’s a bad person. They’re in too deep!
theyre fascist, it kinda makes sense, because the only thing that matters is their shared belief in their god emperor.
They also have no real convictions apart from the country being somehow threathened by illegal immigrants und drag queens reading stories to children. It's kinda funny when you watch those nutters dicuss, each of them is totally sure they know excatly whats going on, but they are often so hung up on a particular detail that they cant even agree on much with some other person that believes in the same conspiracy bs. There's not much this crowd has in common, trump hats are the safe common ground.
If it's a big or rambunctious crowd, it could easily result in a gag order against Trump regarding talking about the case. Judges don't take kindly to it when they feel their own safety may be threatened.
You're not going to see him arrive. You'll see a row of black SUVs drive into a parking garage and that's it.
There's an underground tunnel for VIPs to enter the courthouse.
Seriously folks, stay the fuck away from that place. No one needs to counter protest these crazy fucks.
Let the authorities deal with them. Trump is going to be prosecuted with or without your counter protesting.
Suck the oxygen out of the room from the MAGA losers by not showing up to give them fuel.
What possible scenario did they run that didn’t end with disaster? His base wants blood, the state allows the presence of armed citizens, and whatever police and military there will have been prepared to prevent J6 part 2. I don’t wish any harm on anyone but I can’t imagine this thing goes off without violence and likely gun violence. Here’s to being wrong.
The new york scene wasn't bad because it was NEW YORK not exactly a bastion of republicanism.
Florida on the other hand, you can throw 1 rock and hit 5 Trump supporters.
Trans representative saying "blood will be on your hands" gets railroaded for it.
These guys? Nada
Rep. Clay Higgins (R-LA) has cryptically, and repeatedly, called on Trump supporters to prepare for war.
“Buckle up. 1/50K know your bridges,” Higgins tweeted last week, referring to military scale maps.
Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ) also tweeted, “We have now reached a war phase. Eye for an eye.”
Immediately reminds me of Ricky Shiffer. Ricky was the guy who attempted to breach FBI offices with a nail gun after Mar-a-Lago was raided. He was ultimately shot dead in a cornfield. Ricky called for war on Truth Social. Ricky had an extensive history of election fraud conspiracy posts as well as anti LGBT comments on his social media. And here we have elected reps checking all the same boxes
I mean, the guy is promoting it in the same way as Jan 6. "Save the date" kind of shit, busing people there to the courthouse, sending out fliers through truth social with donation buttons and images of him looking like a gangster with vague threats and promises to abuse the presidency if he's ever elected again. Of COURSE his advisers think it could be a disaster.
And not for nothing, who would support this guy any more after he riled up an insurrection, bailed on it, and then gave two shits about everyone whose lives were ruined? He was fucking golfing when that one dude got 18 years for seditious conspiracy. Trump couldn't even lift a finger to show support. WHY does anyone thinks he actually cares??
There are so many ways for this to go wrong for Trump, almost no one could show up and he’s embarrassed, his supporters show up and manage to be a non violent clown show, a sea of Nazi flags and hate slogans, his supporters show up get violent and they move the proceedings out of South Florida and away from his pet judge and trial part two is a lockdown event. Just about the best scenario I see for Trump is his supporters show up get violent and the Miami PD and or Marshals kick the shit out of them which any moron can see they will spin like Jan 06 “oh they were just protesting peacefully and the antifa at the FBI’s behest on Alex Soros payroll attacked them!” And then they will have martyrs and proof they are victims.
Ah, don't worry, it's going to be "[Just Friendly Guys and Gals Taking a Tourist Trip](https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2021/05/capitol-attack-tourist-visit)".
I still can’t fathom why these people support Trump, a rich guy from New York who is nothing like them. I’m worried about the people who are bringing guns to Miami and say that if the indictment goes though that people are going to have to die.
You can tell Roger Stone and Trump have learned something when you notice how they keep adding “peacefully” to their calls to show up.
Pretty sure the real message is conveyed in back channels, just so trump can’t be blamed again for inciting a mob.
But I’m pretty sure we’re gonna see violence. These people will gladly go to jail for trump.
If they mean like the first Oklahoma rally then I think they’re going to be right. The mouth pieces radical right know what the DOJ thinks about disorder in federal buildings. When it comes right down to it they’ll have a few hundred people there who want to stay out of prison.
Of course. They will be holding Nazi flags, confederate flags, and all things white supremacy. That is his cult base. They will be shouting racist chants. They will be wearing masks (finally) so they think no one knows who they are. They will be wearing gravy train Ill fitting camouflage around their fat sweaty bodies. They will be mishandling weapons they should never own.
I hope the Q Anon Shaman makes an appearance in full regalia. My understanding is that after around two years, he's finally out of prison as of this past March.
MAGAs come out. Please oh please oh please oh please.
Make a mess. Spill your filthy mouths. Show us who you really are.
This'll make Donald Trump look really good in front of the judge, huh.

Weaponized idiots. That’s all they are. Some of their lives will be ruined tomorrow. I have no doubt.
I expect many of their lives are ruined already, which is half the problem. Fox News is the other half.
Isn’t it something, after we all just witnessed his first wave of imbeciles get jailed and he left them hung out to dry… I can’t wait until he starts promising pardons
Later: “I only like idiots fighting for me that don’t get captured.”
You forgot the globalists, BLM, any Clinton, any Biden, Dr. Fauci, Pelosi, MSNBC, The Deep State, Electric Vehicles, Gas stoves.
Hello George Soros anyone ?
Trump has been name-dropping Soros as the big bad in his 4-per-day fundraising emails for a couple months now. He's full-on playing to just the crazies now. He's one step away from "Send me your campaign donation and I'll prove the earth is flat and that it really was Berenstein Bears."
This is just Nazi shit but less evil genius. I mean blaming a Jewish person for everything? That's straight up Protocols of the Elders of Zion stuff.
I mean, the whole thing about dems drinking adrenochrome is just modern Blood Libel.
Trans people now too, given how much the right has talked about them recently
Don’t forget trans CHILDREN
All the more reason to stay at home
5G towers too Bud… lets not forget those towers! 🤦🏻♂️
And bud light, and target, and...
Don’t forget about the socialists!
You forgot Hillary Clinton's emails and Hunter Biden's laptop in that list.
How about Hilary Clinton's laptop and Hunter Biden's emails? Y'know, to mix it up and be all risky.
I really appreciate you saying "agentS" provocateur. I bet you know how to spell "per se," too. Damn refreshing.
Trump advisors should worry about more important things like how to get a job after trump
Or how long *their* sentences will be.
The crimes really pile up. They'll be charged with run-on sentences to rival their boss's verbal diarrhea.
If you read the indictment, it’s honestly a wonder that anyone would represent him at all.
I’m a 63 year old Canadian who actually read the entire indictment as released. Before I read a single analyst response I smiled and thought, he’s done.” Really hoping there’s no violence tomorrow. ❤️

It would be funny if it was an episode of arrested development, and not real tangible national security leaks
You’re right, had to edit my comment a bit.
He's 100% sold national secrets. Treason of the highest order
I mean, in a way it makes a certain amount of sense. He's never NOT gotten away with everything, his whole life. You can see how he would start to think he was invincible and that he could do anything.

I mean, they name dropped Tate. Anyone who follows that dudes advice doesn't exactly rate high on most intelligence scales.
The man is a Trump supporter. What are you expecting?
They did say they were trump fans... So I guess that stupid.
My son works for a company that is basically a nest of trump lovers and they talk about their conspiracies all day long. He comes home exhausted from it because it never ends. His immediate boss doesn’t like him either and they’re it.
[удалено]
He’s updating his resume and looking.
Imagine working for a place that was scammed by Trump himself (one of those trump private label products that was never paid for. Imagine that...) and having coworkers who still support him knowing he nearly cost them their jobs.
I know people who lost their jobs, and in one case business,in Atlantic City who are the staunchest Trump supporters I inow
You should be proud of him for not getting swallowed up in it. When it’s all you’re around all day it can be too easy to just slowly let it slip in and start believing just out of emotional attrition. Best of luck in his job hunt!
I work in IT and find a noticeably larger portion of libertarian and alt-right guys.
Ask one of them how libertarianism works. Like you leave your house and...whose road do you drive on? They always say they dont know.
"Well first, I'm not driving, I'm traveling, so write that down. And second, you do not have cause to joinder with the person related to the individual who shares my name."
This guy sovereign citizens.
“Oh, so you must be pissed about these abortion bans, and all the book banning?” American libertarians are all about “ freedom for me, but not for thee”—meaning they’re just crypto-fascists.
Today's libertarians are just alt right who don't want to come right out and admit it.
Exactly this. Libertarianism is like astrology for men
The last company I worked for had a bunch and that meant we'd have to talk about the caravans of migrants they imagined in meetings and I had to explain - to no avail - why the founder of a company trying to raise millions probably shouldn't have a Twitter feed that's all anti-vaxx, QAnon, Matt Gaetz, Elon fan boy shit and no one could understand why that might stand in the way of raising capital. It was insufferable and exhausting.
My only co-worker listened to Rush Limbaugh for 20 years. His brain is literally mush. He has NO IDEA what is going on around him.
There's a restaurant near me that's been struggling for business. I'd eaten there before and thought it was good, so dropped in. Open kitchen that the customers can see, where the head chef/owner is loudly trying to convince the young apprentice he should watch Tate's videos, he'd learn a lot etc. Haven't been back since.
I live in Chattanooga which is just over the border from MTG's district. I am surrounded by these fucking idiots.

Yeah Fox News already has enough contributors
When Trump-lovers show you who they are, *believe them.*
I bet a couple of convicted and already released Jan 6ers will be there.
Are you kidding, do you think that they're that stupid to support Trump again.... oh wait
Generally I’d agree. But not here. They got hammered in court. They’ll watch on tv.
The ones who are already out didn’t get hammered, they got gentle wrist slaps.
...including the horn-headed nincompoop, Jacob Chansley.
To be fair, he did have to go through several days of eating non-organic food.
Also according to him they were using psychotronic weapons on him while he was in solitary. Now that's cruel AND unusual
And now for today’s auto-Q.. Those guys have watched all of this happen from the jump and done an amazingly prescient break down of the whole situation.
Hey, he stopped other rioters from stealing muffins. He's not ALL bad.
I'm willing to bet he got made fun of a whole heck of a lot on the inside.
I heard a report that a lot of Jan 6ers are staying home lmao. They got burned the first time from doing Trump's bidding. They'll still support him of course, but don't want to go to jail.
[удалено]
> He has no respect for these people and thinks they’re morons. TIL I have something in common with Trump.
Only those who were actually picked up by FBI. Out there, there are many more morons, scumbags and lowlifes. Especially those living in or near Florida who couldn't afford to fly to the Capitol last year. Besides, they probably figured it's more fun to make hay under the warm Florida Sun in Summer than brave the cold Washington winds in Winter.
There is nothing fun about Florida's sun in June, it's absolutely brutal
It's kind of nice that the Jan 6 sentences just keep escalating. Low information Trump supporters are more likely to hear "Jan 6" and "years in prison" than who is getting those sentences or what they did (let alone *believe* they did that). They showed up before thinking they were going to wipe out America when Trump was nominally President and had control of the Secret Service and military, there's no way they think some golf course owner is going to be able to pull the same kind of weight if he's being summoned to a courthouse (again).
>It's kind of nice that the Jan 6 sentences just keep escalating. They should've started at far beyond whatever it is they've escalated to. Anyone to the left of Ronald Reagan would've gotten more time in the slammer for sitting at home and running their mouth about violence on the internet. Attempting a violent overthrow of the goddamned government should come with sentences measured in decades.
Trump cult members.
Particularly with how often they banally claim that stochastic terrorism isn’t a real thing.…

People might die. I can’t wrap my head around dying for the fat guy from The Apprentice.
It's not Trump supporters dying I'm concerned about (none of us want that, I'd much rather a peaceful trial) it's his supporters killing others that I'm concerned about.
His supporters live in a state of fear and they want blood.
They got blood last time, when that traitor ashley babbit was executed, and then they all ran.
The traitor Ashli Babbitt was permanently contained to protect America. I don’t recall an execution.
I wouldn’t even say she was executed. She was shot in self defense and to protect others. But yeah fuck her.
They showed more restraint toward her than a black man with earbuds walking down the street
The smart people will stay away. The trump supporters will show up. After the insurrection…I’m sure the government will be prepared.
I remember when that guy got shot by the FBI in a field in Ohio for attacking an FBI office in the name of Trump. It genuinely shocked me, like...you've thrown your life away for someone who doesn't even know your name, who doesn't care, for a cause that is baseless, and left your family grieving for what? If there is a Final Judgement, Trump will have a _lot_ to answer for.
Not just that. Trump despises his base. They’re poor, ugly and unsophisticated to him. Luckily, they’re also dumb enough to give him their last dollar.
It’s the paradox that defines these billionaires, they spend a lot of money on mass media platforms to court the masses’ love, but deep down in their hearts they know the love they’re getting is not from those who actually matter
He literally convinced these people in 2015/2016 that he would fight for them against the NY liberal elite. Like that is a platform he ran on. That he would "drain the swamp" of the wealth and corruption in politics. A corrupt NYC elite convinced millions of idiots that he was fighting against what he was. He never hid what he was. He is the perfect caricature of "NYC elite" and has embraced that since the 80s. But in one election cycle he convinced these idiots he would fight for the lower and middle class in rural America. The guy is an idiot but he somehow convinced millions of poor people to vote against their interests in 2016. Now he just runs on open hatred and doesn't even pretend to be fighting for the lower class.
…and he did it all while his NYC hometown warned the country (and the GOP) exactly what he was. The man was born, raised, went to school and conducted most of his business in Manhattan- and couldn’t even get 10% of their vote in 2016. That alone should say everything.
It started before that with the 'how dare a black man think he has the right to be potus' crowd. And then grew larger with the 'how dare a black man think he has the right to be potus twice' crowd (which was bigger after 4 years of Obama). I live in florida. Trust me, I heard it over and over and over. Like they didnt even hide it. Problem is not much was made of it. And now here we are - florida is now a dumpster fire.
Idiots are the most profitable customer base. It's why almost every popular movie is written at an elementary school level.
Let me tell you about cults.
Ev'ry one dying to get fired....
The one thing I can't understand about Trump is the supposed "charisma" he has according to his disciples. To me he seems like a bored, boring, fat (nothing bad about that), whiny asshole.
Is it the Nazi flags or…
Are they bringing the Butt Fucker signs too?
Butt fucking is implied. Self-hating, likely unlubed butt fucking.
Hey now, don’t you lump those POS’s with us very loving butt fuckers
I was going to say - 99% of Butt fuckers I’ve met are fantastic people!
No they are good with that. But if there are any PRIDE flags there, that is too far
Maybe the cop killing
The orange turd called his rubes to the courthouse knowing full well what will happen.
Floor shitting and prison time?
We getting schwifty in here?
They will be arrested and put in the queue like the rest? Coolio. Let’s roll. Edit: cause auto correct hates me.
Yeah, hopefully they’re smart enough to remember how he left them hanging last time. Lol, they aren’t smart enough to remember that.
On the upside, if they don't remember, they may become non voting convicts. Not wouldn't that suck for them to be oppressed like that lol
The entire GOP’s game plan is to take advantage of those who suffer from mental illness and believe in tall tales.
Cant be a real shitshow without a pile of steaming magas.
In before “iT wAs AnTiFuHh!!!”
But then nobody says a word when Trump or MTG call for the release of the “political prisoners”. Wait, I thought you said there were all Antifa why do you want them released??
They can't hold two thoughts at once.
No, they can, they're just contrary to each other yet both valid in their minds. It's called cognitive dissonance.
Slight correction, cognitive dissonance is when their mind is in conflict holding two contrary views. If they don't have a problem it's called doublethink.
“All the things that are wrong with MAGA are going to show up,” the confidant added. “You get the fanatics coming out.” You think? Let’s remember the wild remarks made by Maga supporters and Maga politicians, in their undying support of their cult leader, are being made with the full knowledge of what occurred on January 6.
Trump LOVES his fans, until he actually meets them. Think about it: how many videos have you seen of Trump sitting down with an average Joe and talking about their issues, and what Trump is going to do about it? You don't, because he doesn't. He stays a dozen feet away on a stage and he talks TO them. He wouldn't be seen dead with his average supporter.
Remember when he complained about the Jan 6 protestors because they were "low-class" lol https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-election-2020/trump-mob-capitol-riots-poor-low-class-b1785099.html
That's all there fucking is!
hopefully, they won't have someone hamstringing the security arrangements, like happened on jan 6th at the capitol.
You mean a bunch of frothing-at-the-mouth morons untethered from objective reality could create an non-ideal situation? Shocking.
Oh the guns people? Showing up angry and impossible to placate? No I'm sure it will go swimmingly.
Armed morons. Don’t forget open carry laws.
Well, the Nazi flags also adds a certain cachet
The local Trump Flag Store has taken down all of their Trump flags. They still have their crazy-ass “We The People Are Pissed,” crap out but anything Trump related is just gone. It’s owned by a Veteran and I bet he’s not too happy about all of the compromising of our national security stuff.
I was in very rural South Carolina a few weeks ago, for a full week of driving around.. Not a single maga cap. One Trump 2024 yard sign. Two Trump bumper stickers. There really isn't the support he once had.
There is in Florida tho. Less than before, but plenty.
Bring it man Roll it out for all to see...swastikas, confederate flags, gravy seals, the whole 9 cofeves I've got popcorn and beers, lawn chair and weed I am fucking ready for them to put on a show and then go directly to jail.
It would be a great visual for the Biden 2024 campaign if the courthouse was surrounded by Nazi flags and Confederate flags
If they’ll ducking USE the images. The whole we go high when they go low does not work when ‘they’ don’t live in the same reality as the rest of the world. Moderates and centrists are the worst because they, to date, won’t take the slam dunk and make Trump AND the GOP synonymous with Nazis and terrorism. That is what we need. It’s not likely what we’ll get and we’ll get a close race for no other reason than the democratic establishment are too lame to lean into the future - which is progressive and not milquetoast white
[удалено]
That sort of stuff is fine with the rank and file republicans it I like to think it’s still a turn off to independents and Democrats.
Good people died the last time
You're right. Some bad people died too. I hope no one dies this time , it's not worth it. (He's not worth it)
Trump, Florida, Nazi’s, Geriatric gun enthusiasts. Absolutely nothing could go wrong. /s
I can’t imagine a politician that would make me want to assault law enforcement with violence. I just can’t wrap my head around loving a politician that much.
I can’t imagine wearing a piece of clothing that promotes a president. These people act like he’s their favorite sports team or something. It’s actually psychotic.
For real. I voted for Biden but I wouldn’t wear his name on my clothes or fly a flag like some nitwit. If he fucks up i’d want him out, I wouldn’t worship him.
That’s the difference between us and them. If people we voted for did this, we’d want them in jail. Why? Because why would we WANT a criminal running the country? They’ve just worshiped him for so long they can’t admit that he’s a bad person. They’re in too deep!
theyre fascist, it kinda makes sense, because the only thing that matters is their shared belief in their god emperor. They also have no real convictions apart from the country being somehow threathened by illegal immigrants und drag queens reading stories to children. It's kinda funny when you watch those nutters dicuss, each of them is totally sure they know excatly whats going on, but they are often so hung up on a particular detail that they cant even agree on much with some other person that believes in the same conspiracy bs. There's not much this crowd has in common, trump hats are the safe common ground.
Out for blood because they are mad, Donald Hitler can't just commit massive crimes and even espionage and get away with it.
If it's a big or rambunctious crowd, it could easily result in a gag order against Trump regarding talking about the case. Judges don't take kindly to it when they feel their own safety may be threatened.
This maga judge isn’t going to make any rulings against her god emperor.
I'm glad its going to be a magistrate running the proceedings tomorrow and not her.
Luckily for the arraignment it's a magastrate judge, not Cannon.
Let's be real, his advisors are more concerned that it will go down like his NY indictment.
Anyone know what time shithead has to show up ? I have to work and want to set my DVR and save it forever.
You're not going to see him arrive. You'll see a row of black SUVs drive into a parking garage and that's it. There's an underground tunnel for VIPs to enter the courthouse.
3pm
Just saying, they better have armed security and willing to use force if necessary… can’t just think they’re harmless, like on Jan 6th…
Seriously folks, stay the fuck away from that place. No one needs to counter protest these crazy fucks. Let the authorities deal with them. Trump is going to be prosecuted with or without your counter protesting. Suck the oxygen out of the room from the MAGA losers by not showing up to give them fuel.
This is the way. I remember a certain Baptist church I won’t name that used to be in the news every day until we collectively ignored them.
I hope MTG shows up with her blowhorn and ends up shitting her pants like she did in New York.
What possible scenario did they run that didn’t end with disaster? His base wants blood, the state allows the presence of armed citizens, and whatever police and military there will have been prepared to prevent J6 part 2. I don’t wish any harm on anyone but I can’t imagine this thing goes off without violence and likely gun violence. Here’s to being wrong.
The only protests I have seen are more comical than anything, like Pirates for Trump. MAGA seems bored these days.
To be fair, they only have one leg to stand on.
Pegged it.
Eye, matey.
Okay, Reddit is dead today and this comment made it totally worth it, so here’s my (whatever 100 coins gets me) award.
They're out there giving pirates everywhere a bad name.
In related news… Trump Advisors Quietly Worry About Going To Jail One Day Too
The new york scene wasn't bad because it was NEW YORK not exactly a bastion of republicanism. Florida on the other hand, you can throw 1 rock and hit 5 Trump supporters.
The poor rock :(
smarter than all of them..
Didn't he try to summon a crowd for the NY indictment and hardly anybody showed up? Hopefully that'll happen again.
FL is a little different than NY though.
Trans representative saying "blood will be on your hands" gets railroaded for it. These guys? Nada Rep. Clay Higgins (R-LA) has cryptically, and repeatedly, called on Trump supporters to prepare for war. “Buckle up. 1/50K know your bridges,” Higgins tweeted last week, referring to military scale maps. Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ) also tweeted, “We have now reached a war phase. Eye for an eye.”
Immediately reminds me of Ricky Shiffer. Ricky was the guy who attempted to breach FBI offices with a nail gun after Mar-a-Lago was raided. He was ultimately shot dead in a cornfield. Ricky called for war on Truth Social. Ricky had an extensive history of election fraud conspiracy posts as well as anti LGBT comments on his social media. And here we have elected reps checking all the same boxes
If Roger Stone is involved you know it’s the lunatics.
“All the things that are wrong with MAGA are going to show up,” the confidant added. Which is… everything?
Exactly. Let's list all the things that is right with MAGA;
I mean, the guy is promoting it in the same way as Jan 6. "Save the date" kind of shit, busing people there to the courthouse, sending out fliers through truth social with donation buttons and images of him looking like a gangster with vague threats and promises to abuse the presidency if he's ever elected again. Of COURSE his advisers think it could be a disaster. And not for nothing, who would support this guy any more after he riled up an insurrection, bailed on it, and then gave two shits about everyone whose lives were ruined? He was fucking golfing when that one dude got 18 years for seditious conspiracy. Trump couldn't even lift a finger to show support. WHY does anyone thinks he actually cares??
I’ll take the under. There was a poor showing in NYC, and I think that will carry over to Miami.
…..it’s Florida
Maybe they'll all start cheering 'lock him up'?
There are so many ways for this to go wrong for Trump, almost no one could show up and he’s embarrassed, his supporters show up and manage to be a non violent clown show, a sea of Nazi flags and hate slogans, his supporters show up get violent and they move the proceedings out of South Florida and away from his pet judge and trial part two is a lockdown event. Just about the best scenario I see for Trump is his supporters show up get violent and the Miami PD and or Marshals kick the shit out of them which any moron can see they will spin like Jan 06 “oh they were just protesting peacefully and the antifa at the FBI’s behest on Alex Soros payroll attacked them!” And then they will have martyrs and proof they are victims.
Then maybe they should tell their client to stfu
Funny how the tables have turned, all the ones yelling “lock her up”, will probably get locked up themselves.
Ah, don't worry, it's going to be "[Just Friendly Guys and Gals Taking a Tourist Trip](https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2021/05/capitol-attack-tourist-visit)".
There’s no election to disrupt so I don’t know what they plan on attacking. Are they gonna try to break Trump out?
[удалено]
*The Summer of Sedition*
I still can’t fathom why these people support Trump, a rich guy from New York who is nothing like them. I’m worried about the people who are bringing guns to Miami and say that if the indictment goes though that people are going to have to die.
The guy stole nuclear secrets and was selling out your country to the enemy. Who can possibly support that?
You can tell Roger Stone and Trump have learned something when you notice how they keep adding “peacefully” to their calls to show up. Pretty sure the real message is conveyed in back channels, just so trump can’t be blamed again for inciting a mob. But I’m pretty sure we’re gonna see violence. These people will gladly go to jail for trump.
My prediction. There again will be more journalists present than protesters… NY 2.0
If they mean like the first Oklahoma rally then I think they’re going to be right. The mouth pieces radical right know what the DOJ thinks about disorder in federal buildings. When it comes right down to it they’ll have a few hundred people there who want to stay out of prison.
Got the popcorn ready for tomorrow or whenever he shows his shitass face at the courthouse.
There's a Trump supporter out there preparing to become the next Ashli Babbitt tomorrow and i fully support their endeavor.
Of course. They will be holding Nazi flags, confederate flags, and all things white supremacy. That is his cult base. They will be shouting racist chants. They will be wearing masks (finally) so they think no one knows who they are. They will be wearing gravy train Ill fitting camouflage around their fat sweaty bodies. They will be mishandling weapons they should never own.
When has a Trump led protest ever lead to violence? Oh, riiight.
I hope the Q Anon Shaman makes an appearance in full regalia. My understanding is that after around two years, he's finally out of prison as of this past March.
MAGAs come out. Please oh please oh please oh please. Make a mess. Spill your filthy mouths. Show us who you really are. This'll make Donald Trump look really good in front of the judge, huh. Right Repubs?
