Democrats who led probes into Trump's role in Jan. 6 Capitol riot expect to face arrest if he wins: "Anybody who has testified against him...should be worried."
Right.. I mean, to be quite honest... if Biden/Trump in 2024 is the best they can come up with, maybe something like that will waken up the Democrats to actual consequences when they continue to run such shitty candidates.
Biden is worried, it's fairly obvious. However, he is trying to be a leader, which is foremost the job of the President: To lead. I don't envy him either. We are a very divided country right now. Yeah, some of you will talk about the war. Others about his bipartisanship. Someone will want to throw their hat in about other issues, perceived or otherwise. Let's be real though: Dude has had his work cut out for him. So while he hasn't been perfect I honestly and truly feel it could have been much worse.
At the very least he has completed, and is working on, many of the promises he initially made. Gotta give props where they are due. Though he was never my first choice.
He did, and he is framing it as if it was illegitimate to go after him as he was "innocent" and they did it anyways, so when he locks them all up for no reason, it's all good, because and eye for an eye...
Yeah, the favorite tankie mantra of "hey let's bring the genocide/civil war here so the sheeple will finally wake up and we'll have the utopia we've always dreamed about, ya'll!"
...that's even if these people are actually leftists in the first place (as opposed to Russian trolls and right wing hacks). In any case, you have be deeply stupid not to realize the difference between the two choices we actually have before us, and the consequences of fascists in the White House.
They won't waste time on sham trials when Trump is already convinced they're guilty.
They'll skip the judge completely and be given a cigarette and a wall to stand against while they smoke it.
One side is a racist idiot who just wants to rape prostitutes and Hollywood starlets and eat McDonalds dinners with basketball players and Kanye. The American Dream!
The other side supplies a foreign army with ammo to kill women and children in Gaza and fuels a war in Eastern Europe. Kissingers’ dream!
Whoa whoa wait now. You forgot to apply Paragraph #2 to the first as well, in addition to the fact that the first also seeks to enable genocide in Ukraine.
I mean, he said he would. He's also become a better asshole since the last attempt, and now he said on day one he's gonna fire everyone who's loyal to the united states and replace them with people who are loyal to him personally. That's how you put yourself in a position where the military actually listens to you when you tell them to "crack the skulls" of, "beat the fuck out of" and "just shoot" peaceful protestors.
The military is not going to do any of that. The US Joint Chiefs have made it clear on multiple occasions that they take their oath of office to uphold the US Constitution very seriously, including at least 2 times in direct opposition to Trump's bullshit.
They basically are the unofficial 4th branch of the US government, and their checks and balances are effective against fascists.
Rep. Pete Aguilar, who chairs the House Democratic Caucus and was a member of the Jan. 6 committee, told reporters last week that he takes Trump's threat of jailing seriously.
"Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, Liz Cheney, and the Corrupt Democrats on the sham January 6th Committee have lied to the American public for years, denied key witnesses from testifying to the truth, and covered up evidence that proved President Trump, nor any of his supporters, ever engaged in an alleged 'insurrection.'
Their entire narrative is a lie and Americas know that Joe Biden is the true threat to democracy," a Trump spokeswoman said in a statement to CBS News.
The committee spoke with hundreds of witnesses, including Trump's top White House aides, as it reviewed his efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election.
The committee voted to refer criminal charges to the Justice Department for Trump and accused him of threatening the future of democracy and inciting the violent Jan. 6 insurrection at the Capitol.
In remarks to reporters last week, Aguilar said Trump's ongoing rhetoric raises the risk of continued harassment, threats and danger to public officials.

The most important would be the discrepency in treatment between the Jan 6th people and the George Floyd riot people. Also I think almost all of the trump cases are just targeted prosecution.
They should be worried. With the political show trials going on, if this all doesn't work and he does get back in the White House, the gloves are gonna be off. Yeah I know this'll piss people off, but they've literally decided to weaponize the judiciary against him for being president. Guy does think his term did throw a wrench in TPTB's plans and they don't want that happening again. The states these trials are happening in and the timing is not fucking subtle. If this was not politically motivated, these trials would have been happening in 2012 or 2005.
If this was not politically motivated, these trials would have been happening in 2012 or 2005.
Trump's criminal charges involve his handling of documents after his Presidency, his attempt to illegally hold on to power at the end of his Presidency, and his financial records from when he ran for President in 2016. Do you think Antifa has a time machine?
Could I have made it more obvious what I was talking about than by stating those years and using the words "trials" instead of "charges"? like did you really think I was talking about those? JFC.
They haven't weaponized shit. He's still being handled with kid gloves. TPTB are still protecting him for the most part. The reason he wasn't investigated in the past is because TPTB are mostly rich assholes like him that protect each other from being treated like us peasants.
Most of the opposition still isn't willing to hold Trump to the same standards as most people because even they're rich, corrupt, conservative shitheads. The prosecutions are politically motivated to be weaker than they should be for his crimes because all prosecutions against elites are weak. Most of them would spend life in prison if justice was blind.
