    Some how I don't see nationwide violence if Trump is indicted?!! And if there was violence it would be put down quickly too?!! Trump seems to be trying to intimidate DOJ with threats of violence?!!

    I don’t think the National Guard has much to worry about with Christian nationalist and gravy seals.

    But it would be interesting to watch.

    I hope he finally rips up nondisclosure and rats out all the bullshit that goes on in our government... Both parties were scared stiff he was going to reveal how things really are in Washington!

    And the response to Cantaloupe Caligula's threat is clear and simple:

    Did you read his WHOLE post??

    The only problems we'd see would be a week of massive work absences due to nonstop celebrations...

    I mean it really could end up impacting the US GDP....

    “Trump seems to be trying to intimidate DOJ with threats of violence“

    Absolutely right, this is saber rattling by tRaitor tRump. His supporters should remember how he threw the January 6th insurrectionist’s under the bus and the extent of some of the sentences they received before they start any more **** over their phony orange seditionist.

    Really? I think you're reaching with that one..... Caligula was only in charge to fill his own coffers and attend to his own pleasures...

    Oh....

    Nevermind...

    I'm sticking with Mango Mussolini... It rolls right off the tongue, and it's generally closer to coloration and political stances...

    Yeah! He could start by exposing how easy it is to over bill for presidential protection.

    I fully intended on throwing a celebration myself if he's indicted for his crimes. And a bigger one if he's convicted. And, there may be more than one such celebration depending on how the criminal investigations into his attempt to overthrow the government go. I think we are more likely to see movement on the classified docs case, though.

    But another gingerbeard put it better than I ever could.

    Please paste up the "threats of violence" from Trump.

    I can't find them.

    I live on the Front Range of Colorado, if he’s convicted there will be a celebration like when the Bronco’s won Super Bowl 50.

    The only problem I can foresee is a temporary break from his constant whinging and whining.

    Oh wait...!

    Good point. Much of what claims to be a "progressive" movement is still no more than semi-Nazi.

    I'm still waiting for them to explain how facing a possible indictment over a warrant approved by a judge based on probable cause (which ended up completely verified by the evidence gathered), then facing the possibility of going to court where he would be tried by a jury of his peers and where any guilty verdict could be appealed all of the way to the Supreme Court . . . where 3 of the judges were personally appointed by him and where the majority leans his way politically . . . is "the Nazi treatment."

    @Steve N , my grandfather told me lots of stories about his time as a prisoner of the Nazis, but none of them sounded like that. Weird.

    Yet he revealed nothing, maybe they were just afraid he was corrupt and incompetent

    I'll take your word for it when you say you didn't call cons Nazis like we heard for 6 years and especially during the virus fiasco. At the same time, I never, not once, ever said 'lock her up.' Whats' happening is we're all being blamed for things we didn't do just because of how we align ourselves.

    How did he try to overthrow an election? He used legal methods, methods, by the way, JFK used. I didn't know that until I saw it on Tucker Carlson's show. What Trump did the the same exact thing JFK did in Hawaii.

    Carlson was lying to you (which is how he makes his living, of course). No, he didn't do the same thing as JFK in Hawaii. First of all, JFK didn't do anything in Hawaii. The GOVERNOR of Hawaii was faced with a predicament. You see, his state's law said that the EC votes should go to the candidate that won the popular vote of his state, which is common. However, there was a recount underway . . . a recount of an election that was not only close in the state, but one of (if not THE) closest in US history. Nixon was was originally counted as the winner BY LESS THAN 200 ****ING VOTES. Why were there alternate electors? Because the governor signed off on the results (as required by the ECA) WHILE A RECOUNT WAS ONGOING. Then the recount was completed. And it turned out JFK had won, not Nixon. Not knowing how to proceed, the governor of Hawaii signed off on a new slate of electors . . . in compliance with his state's laws. Hawaii wasn't a deciding state, but Nixon (who was VP) didn't pull a what-Trump-wanted-Pence-to-do and congress counted the updated slate.

    So, how is this different from Trump? Well, Trump's original plan involved sending fake, illegal, "alternate" slates of electors that weren't under the seal of the state . . . which violates the ECA. He wanted Pence to pick-and-choose which "electors" to count, refusing to open the legal electors and instead opening and counting the illegal ones. Follow me so far? Because we aren't done. Pence realized that this plan violated the ECA (which Eastman also acknowledged). What was the next step?

    The next step was to pressure Pence to simply declare that 7 states SHOULD BE COMPLETELY REMOVED FROM THE EC COUNT. No, neither JFK nor any other previous US presidential candidate tried something so ridiculously dictatorial to steal an election. Pence was supposed to remove the votes of 7 states and then declare unilaterally that, since Trump had the majority of the REMAINING EC votes, he was the winner. Even Eastman knew this plan was bat **** insane, so he had another, equally bat **** insane back up plan: declare that the EC should simply be ignored due to the "competing" slates of electors (again, Trump's slates were illegal, Biden's were legal) and kick the whole thing to a straight House vote instead. Since each state would get one vote, and since there were more red states than blue states, Trump would be favored to win in such a coup. No, JFK never tried that bull ****, no matter what that **** stain Carlson told you.

    Then you still don't know anything...

    JFK didn't do ANYTHING in Hawaii.... the Governor of Hawaii did what he needed to do to cover his state's close election and recount with the deadline approaching.

    Also, JFK didn't convince people in states he lost to sign their name to forged state documents and put them into the US Mail...
