1. He better be punished for his latest stunt or else

the judge’s orders are meaningless. There is no other way to interpret “If you go after me I’m coming after you.” It’s a threat. I can’t believe that he is walking free this morning.

[KewlKat]

2. Especially true since the previous post showed an array of

People he stated were the fraud squad. 10 mins after fraud squad he posted the “threat.”

[livetohike]

3. His attorneys should bleed him of every penny he

owns. As long as Trump has his cell phone, no one can shut him up. I’ll be surprised if Trump isn’t apprehended today. They can’t let him continue bashing and threatening people.

6. They are all grifter ticks

Effin parasites.

[Arkansas Granny]

14. Grifter ticks! I can't think of a better name.

19. Feasting off the blood of innocents

Detestable creeps

[gab13by13]

9. Trump isn't paying his attorneys out of his own pocket,

he is using campaign money because he doesn't need campaign money for the primary.

[Jarqui]

27. It is starting to taper off

As the truth comes out, it will go down.
There will be a fatigue factor - folks getting sick of the self-inflicted drama.

Barr obliterates Trump’s defense: ‘He knew well that he had lost the election’
https://www.cnn.com/2023/08/03/politics/bill-barr-trump-arraignment-2020-election/index.html

But recently, other GOP contenders flip:

Mike Pence (Aug 4, 2023 report) "The American people deserve to know that President Trump and his advisers didn't just ask me to pause. They asked me to reject votes, return votes, essentially to overturn the election"
""While I made my case to what I understood my Constitution to require, the president ultimately continued to demand that I choose him over the Constitution."
"What the president maintained that day, and frankly, has said over and over again over the last two and a half years, is completely false," he added. "And it's contrary to what our Constitution and the laws of this country provide."
“Today’s indictment serves as an important reminder: anyone who puts himself over the Constitution should never be President of the United States.”

Hurd: “Let me be crystal clear: Trump’s presidential bid is driven by an attempt to stay out of prison and scam his supporters into footing his legal bills. Furthermore, his denial of the 2020 election results and actions on Jan. 6 show he’s unfit for office.”

Ramaswamy & Scott have not flipped ... yet.

This is a time they can have 'fun' with the rhetoric "weaponizing the government".
But when the cases start, the prosecution goes first. There will be weeks of facts, testimony (by many Republicans), audio, video, etc and the weaponizing claims become more hollow against the proven facts. We know there is little defense to come. Trump funding will fall off further.

Before that, we'll have more "Eu Tu Brute" moments.
As people find out, his funding will drop off while the GOP scramble to find someone that might help restore the Oval Office to their control.

Some MAGA will still donate when he's in jail. So it is not going to completely stop.

[allegorical oracle]

29. Impressive work you've done, there. Thx.

[William769]

4. Don't forget his army of lemmings.

[malaise]

5. Oh my goodness! So good to see you😀

How are you post-hurricane my friend?

His lemmings leaders are in prison and others have no plans to join them for Slobby. ;hi:

[William769]

7. Still waiting for insurance.

[malaise]

8. Damn

And peak season is approaching again. How about your health?

[William769]

10. Tell me about it.

Health is a sore subject right now. Maybe in a PM.

[malaise]

11. Yep

It’s really good to see you😀

[MerryBlooms]

30. 💕🌻🤗

[Old Crank]

12. Time for an initial change

When referencing him.
TCR... The Cornered Rat.

[malaise]

15. Oh I like that

TCR, RFG the Slobfather😀😀

[doc03]

13. He should be put under house arrest and confined to Mara Lardo. That would kill his

campaign, no more rallies.

[gab13by13]

16. His primary campaign is basically over,

[malaise]

18. Agree

😀

[malaise]

17. It will come to that - he cannot help himself

Take that to,the bank😀

[usonian]

31. House arrest plus

[paleotn]

20. Lock him up in his own section of a Fed pen.

There he can have his secret service detail, eat his meals in silence and have supervised visitation every 2 weeks. Actually locking him up isn't as impossible as many believe.

Why he even needs a SS detail is beyond me. He's not a security threat anymore. Everything he knew and saw, every secret document he absconded with is now common knowledge among our adversaries.

[gab13by13]

21. #1 - Get him to trial

#2 - Get him to trial
#3 - Get him to trial

The judge could give Trump a choice, publicly apologize for his threats or go to jail, then it would be his choice, except Trump never apologizes.

[Ferrets are Cool]

22. Yes, but it "could" screw with the jury pool. IT MUST BE STOPPED NOW.

[gab13by13]

23. For sure the jury pool will have to remain anonymous.

I agree, his threats are meant to taint the jury pool.

[jaxexpat]

25. All played against fear which is real only if he regains power, a long odds likelihood.

Would that be enough that he could paralyze the justice system into compliance with his bluster? He should be behind bars already. It's the proper course for such behavior and I'm pretty sure there would be a universal hue and cry for such if he were a Democrat.

[bluegopher]

24. Wow. I learned a new word today

Thanks! And I agree totally. The megalomaniac just won't stop digging.

[czarjak]

26. Bluster and Bullshit? Air B&B.

[malaise]

33. Nicely played😀

[Hermit-The-Prog]

28. 5 stages...

34. Fabulous

32. Bluster and bullshit is pretty much all he ever had...
