Somebody doesn't like the fact that one of their own flagrantly BROKE the law and is FINALLY being held accountable for it. The Basket of DEPLORABLES are showing us who they are. "FUCK YOUR FEELINGS, MAGAts! Deal!"Source: Huff Post
Rep. Clay Higgins, one of at least two Republicans to use warlike rhetoric over Donald Trump's charges, told his Twitter followers to Buckle up.
At least two Republican members of Congress used alarmingly warlike rhetoric in response to the federal charges filed against Donald Trump on Thursday.
The former president, who faces a 37-count indictment on charges such as conspiracy to obstruct justice and withholding a document or record, is expected to appear in court Tuesday.
Rep. Clay Higgins (R-La.), the tough-talking former Louisiana law enforcement officer who recently manhandled an activist on camera, instructed his Twitter followers to Buckle up in preparation for that day, in a dispatch that sounded like battlefield orders.

Higgins is really just throwing another log at the bonfire.

There is mounting evidence of a civil war being organized in the US.
Our institutions need to mount their surveillance and defences.

(2,047 posts)IMO, there is less need for war and a whole lot more reason for determined deterrence of the radical rights opportunity to cost us many lives and much treasure.

Hard to start a war when people are just not interested anymore.
Did they really think that 75 million people with houses and jobs and families were really going to burn everything down?

We were all too dozy to realize that his bravado wasn't merely a shit-slicked speech of a craze man.
It -really WAS- the announcement of an agenda that is now in its 4th decade

(69,359 posts)They have to blah blah blah to their ignorant base. Fox News has to continue lying because their lie-addicted viewers will stop watching if they don't get their daily dose of lies.
Half the country is addicted to lies and "alternate facts" and there's nothing the GOP can do about it now but go along for the ride.

Mr. Ected
(9,714 posts)The Theatrics group that really wants Trump gone but know that his base would destroy them if they uttered the truth, and the Co-Conspirator group that broke laws on and after J6, requested pardons from Trump at the time, and now will do anything to protect their own asses. There's no real Trump love in Washington, no way.

(49,382 posts)As people see the evidence, Republicans lose power to stir them up with phony outrage. Even those magat fools didn't bother showing up at his last arraignment. Despite the blah-blah chest pounding, they just don't have the will to risk much for Trump.
TreasonousBastard
(43,049 posts)The talk has changed from how Trump is a member of the Trinity, but how if they are going to go after him, what about the Democrats they should be going after?
Btw, I also hear that inflation is terrible under Biden, but under Trump we could afford more shit.
