Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsWill we soon find out TFG was behind these groups of people terrorizing people at their homes?
Organized by his dirty tricksters to intimidate them and prevent others from doing the right thing. TFG is a political domestic terrorist, and the Republican party is complicit . Abuse of power used to terrorize opposition, and to influence election results is criminal , and should have serious consequences, or it'll continue.

"I can tell you I have the support of the police, the support of the military, the support of the Bikers for Trump," Trump said to Breitbart in an interview Monday after reportedly being asked about "how the left is fighting hard."
"I have the tough people, but they dont play it tough until they go to a certain point, and then it would be very bad, very bad," he said.
Trump tweeted out a link promoting the website Thursday night after several Democrats and political commentators raised issues with the comments and whether they amounted to a potential threat of violence.

No, he is not giving people direct orders, but he consistently whips them up to do his dirty work for him, to terrorize his perceived enemies. There has to be something he can be charged with for consistently getting mobs to harrass and hurt people. It's called political violence and it needs to be illegal.
We desperately need laws against domestic terrorism and laws against inciting domestic terrorism. Unless he is forced to shut up, he will continue to foment political violence. And ordinary people just doing their jobs with integrity will continue to have their lives ruined.
I have never in my life hated someone so much.

(58,374 posts)Miller prepared the remarks that Trump delivered at the rally. And he obviously was well aware of the fake electors scheme. On December 14, 2020, Miller described on television a plan to send "alternate" slates of electors to Congress. On April 7, 2021, Miller launched the America First Legal Foundation, a conservative legal organization. Maybe he did that to assure he has plenty of defense counsel on hand.
His parents live in Santa Monica, CA, where he grew up and went to high school. Turns out he Is still on Mommy and Daddys cell phone plan. The revelation came out amidst his lawsuit trying to block the January 6 committee from subpoenaing his cell phone records in March of this year.
