Someone is going to get hurt before Trump's trial!

I don’t mean to be so worried, but the Trumpsters goons are going try something and I fear it will be deadly or something as bad?

Trump is backed into a corner and push for his base to start some trouble somewhere!

They seem to have dropped the ball on J6 itself.

With guns being as easily obtained as they are in this country, it's imperative to be aware of what extremists are up to.

Those people who showed up on J6 eventually had some serious consequences. Not so sure they want to take that chance again. Where they were allowed to walk away (arrested later), I don't think the feds will be so casual if something happens again.

He's a lot of bluff and bluster. Just like his followers.

Very few want to die for this "cause", or go to jail, or even be named in front of their neighbors lol.

..... is his birthright. If he feels it was unjustly taken away from him he will burn it all down to the ground. If he can't have complete and absolute control of the levers and reins of AmeriKKKa - nobody will. A smoldering pile of embers and hot ashes is all that will be recognizable if he has his way. This Mafioso Goon does not like to lose.

that there will be some violence. I don't know how bad, but it will happen. Too many people are invested emotionally in him and easily angered on his behalf for us to get through this period without some kind of violence somewhere. Plus, of course, Trump keeps amping up the threats and violent rhetoric.

I don't remember any specific violence caused by tfg.

What is it that you think will happen?

Think like Putin, or Kim Jong. The time is ripe for an attack. False flag, of course, but still.
The US will fall from within, but a little push from the outside will ensure it.

trump has been pushing the envelope of tolerance on the part of the judges (now including Judge Chutkan) for some time. Eventually, he is going to put them in a position of no options. But I think he WANTS to get put in jail. He WANTS to be able to incite violence in his maggot supporters with this move. If he is remanded into custody before the trial, I think he WANTS this to happen. He WANTS his crowds to force confrontations with police, democrats, any authority figure they can get to and harm. He WANTS to see chaos. He WANTS to see blood in the streets, all done in "honor" to him.

I believe that he WANTS Judge Chutkan to remand him. And that concerns me.

P/S Loved your post from the diner.

Or maybe it's wishful thinking on the Dotard's part that he can rile up his nutbars into action.

I'm not so sure that they're all that eager to risk what the J6 crowd has. I think even they know that, next time, the government won't be on its back foot if they go rogue. They must know that the feds and various state LEOs are monitoring them closely for any violent chatter.

Even without that, his rallies barely get attendees who aren't MAGAheads. They can't even turn out in significant numbers to show support for their dear leader at an arraignment in FL. If the enthusiasm to support him was there, we'd be seeing them show up at the usual places.

They aren't.

If anything happens, it will be a lone nut who slipped under the radar, or a very small band of them. Not anything wide scale.
