1) how is that relevant?
2) not that he cares, but that blood is on his hands
3) perhaps that is what is needed to destroy this coward once and for all
4) and will he not speak out to halt threats of violence? (sorry stupid question)

I don’t know about everyone else but I’m celebrating every indictment he gets!
If he gets two in a week, I’m popping out a bottle of bubbly!

The only turmoil I will see is people partying and celebrating his actual arrest and jail time!
Lock him up!

Bring it on! They should expect more arrests and prosecution. Immediate. And they bring firearms expect a response. They won't be dealing with Trump running the White House. And they won't be dealing with the Capitol Police. Although this time around they might use a more forceful response if they try it again.

Deception comes at a price. Maybe if FOX started broadcasting the news instead of a redacted version thereof, their viewers wouldn't be shocked to learn most everything that will be revealed at trial (if they watch at all).

Trump didn't get his desired "turmoil" in Miami and he won't in DC. Never believe that Trump or his lawyers know Americans.

And when put into writing, it looks like a threat.

My dad used to insinuate stuff. So I knew to interpret what he meant. And if questioned, he’d deny he ever said any such thing.

As the skilled salesman he was, he knew how to get his intended meaning across without actually spelling it out. You plant the seeds and let the listener grow the real message. You show them a 2 and another 2 and leave it to the target audience to put those two’s together to make 4.

I will combat this with the lawyers you've always paid for in a court of law.
An innocent man has nothing to worry about.
They cannot prove an innocent man guilty beyond reasonable doubt without evidence of wrong doing.
So don't worry about protesting, etc.
You'll just get yourselves thrown in jail like the folks on Jan 6th did.
If we run into trouble, I stacked SCOTUS pretty well."

Making excuses for a criminal instead of finding a way to uphold the law. They must have actually been paid. They're whipping up the FUD Cocktail just in time for Happy Hour. Cheers!

. . ., removed from office, put on trial, convicted, and imprisoned already. Further, he should be about one year into a life sentence for his attempt at an insurrection or a coup.

Trump and his accomplices needed to be locked up yesterday. Trump--though apparently "incandescently stupid"--is still a national security threat. (Does NARA actually have all of its documents back?)
