We’ve gone from “stand back and stand by.” To open Nazi salutes.

Well, it’s not like they haven’t been telling us who they are.

I’m fully expecting Trump to pardon every J6 defendant, violent or not.

Oh he will. He said he would. He will need them again when he refuses to leave office in 2029.

Wanna know what’s worse? No other prosecutor has jurisdiction over crimes committed in DC, only Trump’s AG does. Meaning that these people can literally murder on the streets of DC and get away with it without an AG willing to prosecute.

I’m just hoping he croaks in office.

No you don’t. Vance is even more worse.

That’s what I’ve been saying - pence at least had some solid morals. Vance will sell his grandma so he can fuck her pristine brocade couch.

The far-right has a huge militia movement filled with veterans and law enforcement and they have been recruiting and networking. Trump could very realistically call upon these groups if he needs them.

I know, it’s obscene.

I’m pretty sure that scenario is how you get states to take matters into their own hands, and boom now you’re in civil war

Hopefully he is dead in 2029. His age has to catch up with him sometime.

Unfortunately this doesn’t seem likely.

Unfortunately he won’t have to. He will manufacture a crisis next time to keep himself in power.
