My mail box was immediately bombarded with solicitations. I unsubscribed, and the messages stopped. Until earlier this week. I suddenly got an email about all the unfairness, such drama. Says to me he is desperate.

At least, not in great numbers. They saw how it came out last time and that Trump did nothing to help them after they were arrested.

1) 1/6 took weeks of planning
2) the idiots thought they were going to start a revolution they'd win. They know better now.
3) After 1/6, Trump left his army to fend for themselves against the charges against them. Some have been sentenced to as much as 5 years.
4) all kinds of police and federal agencies are prepared now, including the huge NYPD.

I wouldn't show up. I wouldn't spend money on a train/bus/plane ticket to get there.

...TFG's minions had the power to tell coos & NG to stand down in advance.
No such power exists and any sedition monkeys might fear being fodder.
