1. The real humiliation for DJT.

It was all about turnout for his cause. Big stinker for him. Emperor will be arraigned with no clothes. It will be an ugly sight to see.

[Rhiannon12866]

2. And to "sound off" now would only result in even more trouble for him

But you can bet that he wants to - his "supporters" are letting him down...

[PortTack]

3. They like their recliners and beer too much to be bothered...

[Rhiannon12866]

4. Not to mention, he called for "death and destruction"

And anyone who's half awake has seen what happened to those who followed his "instructions" on January 6th...

[PortTack]

7. Yes..that is very worrisome. no doubt his most extreme cultists are listening. It only takes one!

[Rhiannon12866]

8. Exactly. We've seen little to no turnout so far, but, like on J6, his supporters are likely armed

[PortTack]

10. Right! They fume and plot, then act on their pent up hatred. I sure hope they are prepared!

[Rhiannon12866]

11. We heard that the entire NYC police force was told to show up early

At least they are prepared for the worst. Even if it doesn't happen, they're prepared to avoid another January 6th.

[PortTack]

12. Yes...let's hope if there's trouble the NYC police can subdue it without violence!

[Rhiannon12866]

13. At least they won't be outnumbered which happened during the insurrection

Since TFG refused to call in reinforcements for the Capitol Police.

5. While the slow roll political train wreck drama distracts, Rule of Law prevails.

Thanks for the post! His whole show tonight was a law class that I'll bet Trump's lawyers watched.

[Rhiannon12866]

6. We can hope that they watched, these lessons might prevent them from needing their own lawyers

MAGA=Making Attorneys Get Attorneys.

9. LOL You're so right!

Astute observation! Mine is a laugh of recognition!

14. Tennessee Kids..

TY.. it was interesting watching LO'D talk about it & the Not a lot of trump fans paid any attention to what he asked for.

[Rhiannon12866]

15. I'm hoping that they learned something from seeing what happened to the Jan 6 "protesters"

[Cha]

16. I was thinking about that,too..

why take a chance when dt Incites the shit and can't even pardon them.

Now he's being arrested.. maybe they had bigger fish to fry than do his dirty work?

[Rhiannon12866]

17. You're right, he's a "private citizen" now

As he was when the January 6th insurrectionists faced charges - and they're being tried and sent to jail.

18. "One!" LOL!!!

19. New Yorkers hate him.
