choose. August 3 is literally a week from today. AND, I might add, I asked this as a question--rhetorical, not a declaration.

This would be a GREAT Late Show fake commercial for them to do. They start most shows with one. They're usually hysterical.

i look as little as i can stand to these days but i gotta look every day to see if a new indictment has dropped, or someone dropped dead, or you know, the world has changed.

here's hoping it's a whopper, all the defendants, RICO, you name it. Life plus 90 years if convicted type of thing. Arrest and BAIL, no OR for the fucker. all these things start roiling through my PTSD brain with news like this.

come on Fani do it. There's been a whole lot of wrong, needs a whole lot of justice.

I forgot about Congress being in recess in August! (Or rather, that fact was stored in a separate compartment in my brain from the ongoing indictment watch, and I didn't make the connection until now.)

How perfect would it be to have both the GA and J6 indictments land one right after the other, while Congress is out of town? Can't you just imagine the frantic phone calls flying back and forth between various Congresspersons and Senators?

Please let it be so!

Let's hope they have them but don't need them.

Getting TFG on trial anywhere is going to be a three ring circus complete with freak show, I"m afraid, as his most rabid followers travel hundreds of miles to support their Lard & Savior.

59. Has Trump given up on J6 Part II?
Fri Jul 28, 2023, 01:03 PM
Jul 2023

I think he actually believed a crowd of thousands was going to show up in downtown Manhattan to shut down his first indictment. He has tried several more times to dogwhistle his troops to places that were going after him. Will be interesting to see if he suggests some action in downtown Atlanta.
Maybe he finally realizes that even the true believers don’t think that joining the 1,000+ J6ers for a 3 or 4 year jail term is worth the pointless demonstration.

Without the President on site impeding a proper response there won’t be another January 6. Local police would respond aggressively, and Biden would have federal troops in place and ready to respond.

But I doubt that very many of his fanbois will go near downtown ATL. That part of town is way too close to way too much "woke" for them.

I give a Spelman art major 5 seconds to take them all, and not break a nail.
