Lindsey Graham says there will be riots in the streets if Trump is prosecuted (Original Post) Nevilledog Aug 2022 OP
Today's Russian talking point? Just read Josh Hawley said the same thing Walleye Aug 2022 #1

Notice how today EVERY Reoyblican is saying this same shit?

It's telling that they're all reduced to the same juvenile threats. Very telling. Not only are they fucked. They know they're fucked.

They have nothing else on this, no strategies, no arguments, no hope.

I'm with OP. If it's war they want it's war they'll get.

My estimate is that some of them will end up in cornfields waving their shiny new AR-15s at SWAT teams one time too many. Not a large number, as the results will deter the rest.

Considering that his base is the reason for strange fruit, they have always ignored the law, justice, and truth. His base was terrorist before he was born. Seriously what are his base going to do? Burn crosses, kill the innocents and wear hoods while doing it? This time, lets track these terrorists down as they expose themselves for who they are. This time, let them serve the time they have needed to serve since the beginning of our nation.
