    Without persecution and martyrdom, they’ll lose support. Trump has to be strong, but constantly under attack so that they can keep the mob foaming at the mouth and ready to attack anyone they want.

      If you don’t punish people accoriding to the law because you “fear retaliation” means the law isn’t really worth the ink that it’s written with or the paper that it was written on. As well as showing there is no punishment for intimidating judges or for insurrection.

      my dude you’ve rationalized yourself into believing anyone with insane rabid fans should get to break the rules. This is a bad precedent to establish.

      this is in fact one of the better ways to look at this, they know he’s going down on at least some of the charges he’s facing in his 4 different criminal cases (lol) against him, in order to spur actual armed revolution to save that man from an orange jumpsuit which I might add will clash with his skintone, but I digress, they need to stoke the flame into a conflagration. but this statement does tell me his camp knows he can’t win the election, which is not nothing.

        So you can incite an insurrection and the constituion is not valid because people could get violent? Nah dude, this is what is wrong with how the American justice system works, they carve out execptions for the so called rich and powerful.

          absolutely right, this is all fucked, and trump should have been imprisoned a very long time ago, and at the very least barred from participating in every ballot in every state, but we live in a partisan nation, where judges political livelihoods hang in the balance of their decisions, and a great many of them are not the upstanding patriotic jurists we wish they were
