Trump warns of 'problems' like 'we've never seen' if he's indicted

Trump can go fck himself.

It's the very kind of talk a physically abusive husband says before he commences beating his wife.

I suspect Trump had "all his best people" invade the Capital on January 6th, and most of them have been arrested, indicted, or plead already. How many more are going to be willing to suffer the same fate, for a hopeless cause? And where exactly would they go for a repeat performance? FBI headquarters? I think a large percentage would end up dead, if they tried to invade FBI headquarters. I think one a-hole tried so far and yep: Dead.

It might be an opportunity for the FBI to make a list of people willing to commit domestic terrorism, to be rounded up for "Insurrection Trials, Round 2". But I suspect Trump's "people are talking" contain a thin layer of actual domestic terrorists, mixed in with a lot of windbags and assorted nuts. Some large percentage of Republicans are saying they would vote for him even if he was convicted, but very few would face armed government agents. His minions are going to start facing more and more consequences in the coming weeks. Who wants to volunteer for that?

Trump's life-long criminality will culminate in Trump dying in prison - for one of the many investigations that he's under right now.

This is a pattern, now. It's how fascists operate. Lindsey Graham parroted Trump, and Trump saw he "got away with it", so figured he could, too.

It's a signal to his thugs - "stand by". There will be blood, but more important is to keep/take control of legislatures. It's no longer red/blue or Dem/Rep, it is democracy vs autocracy, pure and simple. To the extent we don't, there will be more blood. Not a civil war, mind you, but civil unrest.

Things in our government and the hardcore partisans who take it to extremes have made it impossible to find the right thing to do. Relevance becomes truth and the win becomes good or bad, depending on one's view of the outcome. Situational results replace honesty or truth. I was part of the damn world for too long and it continues to haunt me. I have no answers, just a lot of guilt.

Neither one is liable to help. And if karma could be counted on, the world would be a much better place.
