Trump to his cronies: "Don't be rat finks or squealers youse guys!"

[MineralMan]

When does loyalty to that washed-up failure end, I wonder? When do those who supported TFG and got abandoned later decide that he is a toxic spill and blow him off?

Instead, Bannon is crowing about a mythical 20,000 man "strike force." No such thing exists. So, those morons are all going to stick with their guns and keep silent about TFG's illegal activities.

WTAF? Lock 'em all up!

1. I think that Mike Pence has some sort of serious affliction

[MineralMan]

3. Maybe. Or maybe Trump has dirty stuff on Pence and others that he could reveal.

I don't know. Trump may be holding some information on people that would destroy them. That wouldn't surprise me. That's just his style, and could explain the strange loyalty people have for him, despite being abandoned by him at some point or on multiple occasions.

Trump would have been fine with Pence being hung at the Capital on January 6. He didn't care one bit. He blew off Steve Bannon more than once, yet Bannon still has his back.

Trump expects everyone to have his back, even though he has nobody's back. That leads me to believe that he has kompromat on those people. Perhaps that comes from his buddy Putin. I don't know.

The loyalty makes zero sense in any way to me.

12. True,I have thought that.But what could be more humiliating than prostrating himself in front of TFG

[Cracklin Charlie]

2. 20,000 man strike force?

What were they gonna strike?

Joe Biden won’t give them all $600 bucks to travel to DC like TFG did.

Who is paying for this “strike force”? There must be some money there to follow. Journalists?

[MineralMan]

4. There is no "Strike Force."

There are a bunch of disgruntled guys, middle-aged and older, who like to march around carrying their AR-15s and wearing "tactical" gear. When push comes to shove, though, they're nowhere to be seen. It's more comfy in their recliners at home.

It's a threat with nothing to back it up. Bannon, himself, is a coward and a weakling, too. Blowhards, one and all.

6. "Strike Force"

Idiots.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

7. It is getting colder outside too.

More layers slows a person down.

[MineralMan]

9. Well, blubber is a pretty good insulator...

Just saying...

Remember that recent "march" on the Capitol? What, maybe 200 people showed up? There is no "Strike Force." It does not exist.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

5. Nothing to hide, guys?

Yeah right.

The way Bannon and his ilk are behaving, they have MUCH to hide.

[MineralMan]

8. No doubt. And then there's Pence.

Pence, who Trump was ready to abandon to his mob. Pence, who is not defending the orange blob, as if nothing happened.

Dirt. There is dirt on Pence. Serious dirt.

[onethatcares]

10. aren't they supposed to take over

all the departments and create new rules and tax codes in the first 24 hours?

FFS, they won't even make it through the beltway in 24 hours let alone find a parking space near the Capitol.

[Silent3]

11. They probably have a lot of personal dirt to worry about besides protecting Trump

Beyond that, many are betting (not without reason) that they can survive all of this until a successful Republican coup takes place, and then be richly rewarded for their efforts.

13. TFG sounds like a crime family boss

This is a clear case of obstruction of justice
