Who knows which court will Trump's arraignment be held at? I am assuming it will be in a NY state court
in Manhattan
Come DU take this viral. I want Trump and the court to hear it from the people. I want Trump to see
what the people of NYC really think of him. I want the ground to shake. I want HRC there leading the
people in "the cheering for Trump" and if the sidewalks have too many people around the court the over-
flow crowd can go to the News Corp (Fox News) building. Or maybe meet there around 10:30 AM and then
March to the Court House.
We need to get the pink pussy hat pissed off ladies group on board w/this.

And David Hogg's March for our lives people too.

We are winning. Lets leave it that way.

(138 posts)I dont live anywhere close to NY but the celebrations where I live are just getting started. The call for showing up probably is not necessary.
People will show up. Guaranteed. Lets hope they show up on our side in much greater numbers.
Honestly, if the optics show were either afraid or dont care, weve lost.
This will be an important day.

(15,874 posts)That sends the message that our motivation is the same -- lock up an opponent for political reasons.
Our message should be that no one is above the law. Impartial Justice must be done, wherever the chips may fall.

Keep in mind that Trump is furious and frightened. Hes lost control of events and hes facing real Justice for the first time in his life.
If hes miserable then Im happy.

The picture would have been extremely different if thousands of Democrats (aka "antifa" #BLM "socialists"
) had shown up to confront the insurrectionists at the Capitol on J6.
But because they didn't, the whole world is clear that tRump supporters and RW DVEs were trying to overthrow the government and very possibly would have executed VP Pence and members of congress if they'd succeeded.

(1,983 posts)Trump hasn't been convicted yet, so calling for him to be locked up is premature.

Lock. Him. Up!
