1. K&R...

2. good

3. Great news!!

4. This is why Trump is the Charles Manson president.

He didn't give the direct order to kill. He just said, "Enemy of the state," and any red-blooded true believer would want to defend the country from an enemy by any means possible.

5. When Trump loses...people are going to die at the hands of christofascists.

6. Trump is going to get people killed before he leaves office.

[Different Drummer]

11. That is my fear.

[llmart]

12. He already has.

Have you forgotten Khashoggi?

[stage left]

14. And Epstein.

I'm convinced Trump orchestrated that "suicide."

[llmart]

17. +1

I think so true. He never does the dirty work himself. He has stupid morons do that - Jared Kushner being one of them.

[Initech]

16. Or Heather Hayer?

That is true.

[gratuitous]

7. Whaaaa?

Those rogue federal prosecutors again! How can following Dear Leader's orders be illegal?

[Hermit-The-Prog]

8. This needs publicity to protect the next one that turdface targets.

[marble falls]

9. Trump should have been indicted, too. I'm willing to wait till Jan 21, 2021 for it.

10. Americans are stepping up

to defend something larger than themselves - the rule of law, the Constitution, Democracy, freedom. Patriots will not let this country falter.

[RVN VET71]

13. Grossly unfair attack on a patriot, Trump will say

"Whatever happened," he will continue, "to that thing called the One Amendment? I'll be watching this case and so will my Attorney General!" he will say, spittle spraying out of the corners of his mouth as he prepares to board the helo.

[Python boot]

15. Stochastic terrorism

Is there a law against stochastic terrorism?

18. Don't know if this has been reported on DU yet,

but a man from the Rochester, NY area was arrested for making death threats to Adam Schiff and Senator Schumer.

Salvatore Lippa left a threatening message on January 23 for Schiff and on Feb 4 for Schumer that they would die. When arrested he said he was upset over the impeachment and trial.
