The Rubicon has been crossed...

[kentuck]

...and there is no going back.

Trump and his advisers were shocked to hear that he had been indicted. They have been in reaction mode ever since. They are angry and lashing out at everyone not on the Trump train.
They are vindictive and accusatory and defensive.

They believe the power of their propaganda and PR will outweigh all criminal charges. They will blame it all on Joe Biden and the Democrats and take no responsibility. They never declare their innocence, only their victimization.

Tuesday is coming quickly and Trump would have liked a few more days to organize a mob to defend him against the criminal charges, much like he did on January 6th, 2021.

By Tuesday evening, he will have been charged with several crimes and his world will never be the same.

1. I do not believe nor trust anything coming from the lying mouths of.................................

shithole and his comrades.

[2naSalit]

2. And never any...

Evidence or proof of anything they claim.

[kairos12]

3. Might I suggest it is crossing the

Rubi-Con...job.

[kentuck]

4. Good one!

He cons the Rubes.

[kairos12]

5. Even better!

[whopis01]

37. Would that make him the Rube-icon? n/t

[JanMichael]

8. Rudy-con?

[kairos12]

11. Outstanding!

[ashredux]

6. Exactly..." They never declare their innocence, only their victimization. "

They know Trump is guilty. So as the old attorney saying goes,…. With no facts, they just “…pound the table.“

[Evolve Dammit]

7. Hope other indictments drop soon. Bury the SOB and let the wheels grind him to a greasy paste.

[kentuck]

9. I agree.

They need to put more on his plate. Give him more to think about. Overwhelm his bullshit. I would like to see Jack Smith charge him with seditious conspiracy and obstruction of justice.

[MyOwnPeace]

10. My thoughts exactly......

just bury him in his own S**T - to the point that he won't even know which way to turn and his speeches will turn into bumbling babble!

[Evolve Dammit]

14. those are the biglys. Not that 30 plus folders marked Top Secret are EMPTY isn't... Or the perfect

GA attempt to overturn the results. What an f'ing criminal. I wish Ms. Carroll well in her rape case too. He probably raped 100's so good for her persistence. May he be convicted in all of them.

[PatSeg]

26. And add to that

Trump is being sued by injured Capitol police and Democratic lawmakers for inciting the insurrection on January 6th. It would be fitting if whenever he catches his breath, he is hit with another indictment. All roads in the man's life have been leading to this moment - when it rains, it pours.

[Evolve Dammit]

28. I had forgotten about those, which could grow if he is indicted for 1/6. May it be so.

[PatSeg]

29. I was having a hard time keeping up

with all of them, so I'm sure there are others that we've forgotten about. You know, I have a feeling indictments might just propagate more investigations and indictments. Kind of a snowball effect. This is a very litigious country, Americans love suing people.

[Evolve Dammit]

33. True. And to Drumpf, it is a way of life. His family feeds on law suits as Mary Trump had described.

And he loves chaos. Attack, delay, obfuscate, deflect, gaslight, and project. Always deny and attack. Roy Cohn and KKK Fred taught this one well.
History may show him to be one of the most fucked up powerful people of all time. Course there's lots of competition....unfortunately.

[PatSeg]

34. Yes, to paraphrase

"Live by the lawsuit, die by the lawsuit", metaphorically speaking. The Trump family has used our legal system for decades to their benefit, it is only fitting that the same legal system will be the one to bring them down.

True, the world has seen many fucked up powerful people, but few are or were so in-your-face outrageous as Donald Trump. He never really pretended to be anything other than the dishonest slob that he is and apparently that appeals to some people. We live in world where everyone is exposed to the same movies and television, so where did the MAGA crowd see the heroes that reminded them of someone like Trump?

[Evolve Dammit]

35. "Dishonest slob". I'm going back 30 years to Roseanne Barr, Bart (Homer) Simpson and George HW

Bush who used a rented hotel suite in Dallas to avoid taxes and bragged about it. It's hard to say when being dishonest became cool. I had friends that bragged about not paying taxes in the 70's and thought that was pretty disgusting. Probably been there since "the Gilded Age" and the Roaring '20s.
I'm sure there were lots of others, but those are the ones that hit my radar. (full disclosure I loved the Simpsons). The others not so much... I guess it just wasn't advertised or made to be a cool thing until around then. Of course, Drumpf learned it, lived it, and perfected it. Now millions live by it.
And millions of us don't, because we're not dishonest.

[PatSeg]

36. Yes and it is far worse than I could have imagined

I've known people who were proud of cheating on their taxes, but even they cheered for the good guys in the white hats - Indiana Jones, Superman, Atticus Finch, George Bailey (who doesn't love George Bailey?), Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, Robin Hood, Han Solo, Erin Brockovich, etc.

Who the hell are these creeps cheering for? Mr. Potter, Darth Vader, Gordon Gekko? When they watch World War II movies, do they root for the Nazis to win?

[Johnny2X2X]

12. Tuesday is all gets real

The indictments are going to be devastating and I bet surprising. All the pundits and politicians guessing about the indictments are engaging in theater. The reality is we have no idea what they say and they’re going to be shocking.

For all the media knows there were 34 crimes each associated with 34 different women he paid off.

David Pecker provided concrete proof IMO.

[Model35mech]

13. Didn't the TFG get something like 37% of New York's 2020 vote?

Seems like there are plenty of people in NY that could drive to Manhattan in hours.

If nobody shows up to try to put the arraignment on trial in the streets it'll be a tell for Trump support in '24

[Captain Zero]

15. If 20,000 pick up trucks are streaming into Manhattan

On Tuesday morning they are idiots. One of them is getting hit by a taxi cab.

[paleotn]

19. Other than the super nuts, much of his base has moved on.

They're in the DeSantis camp or just don't care all that much anymore. Add the distinct possibility of spending significant time in prison if things get out of hand, and I doubt there will be many if any wankers in Manhattan. Other than the usual wankers that is.

[The Wizard]

20. In NYC it was 8%

[RevBrotherThomas]

38. Let'em come

They'll get the same that the Proud Boys got and more when they pulled their BS in our city a couple of weeks ago. We've known about trump in NY since the 70s... and we've never been impressed with that brand of BS.

[Joinfortmill]

16. Well said. And, we don't know how dangerous this will make him...

He could come out charging or whimpering like the coward he really is.

[PatSeg]

27. He is getting older and clearly is not healthy

I think his "charging" days are waning, but I'm sure he has a whole lot of whimpering and whining left.

[Ligyron]

17. Once a few indictments become a fact, the GOP and teevee pundits will back off I think.

The PTB in the Repug party and more importantly the Murdochs want him gone. We'll be lucky if he is somehow their candidate in '24.

I say lucky because I think he'll be beaten even worse than last time. People like deSatan are more worrisome I believe.

[AllaN01Bear]

18. the trump train schedule is annulled . track and time expired and didnt pay rent on loco.

[SouthernDem4ever]

21. They should have perp walked him while making the annnouncement

That would have avoided anything that might happen on Tues.

[dchill]

22. "We're through the looking glass, here, people."

[gulliver]

23. This one could fizzle, but it could give a nice contrast to the DOJ and GA cases.

I can't wait to see what's in the indictment. I hope it has some shutter-uppers for Trump and his fellow performance artists in the Republican Party.

[Orrex]

24. He could make this all go away simply by throwing himself into an active volcano

[Unwind Your Mind]

25. Snort!

[onethatcares]

30. or shooting himself on Fifth Ave

the options are endless.

[dmr]

31. This sentence is profound and very true:

"They never declare their innocence, only their victimization."

[Initech]

32. White collar crime is crime, whether Fox News cares to admit it or not.

And hey, don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time, right?
