DO NOT buy into any of the rank BULLSHIT that Trump and his bobblehead cultists

[Atticus]

are spewing and the "liberal press" is dutifully reporting.

This nation will not "die" if Trump is prosecuted, convicted and punished for any of his many crimes.

There may well be isolated incidents of violence by some of the deranged whackjobs who worship him, but talk of "civil war" is too silly to bother discussing.

Trump may run, but he cannot hide. He can delay his convictions---plural---, but he can't prevent them.

Now's not the time to "go wobbly". Keep calm and carry on.

1. But Alex Whitt sez that we don't see people handcuffed behind their backs any more.

The host on a major cable nooz channel says ...

"Hang on a second. Wait, wait he wanted his hands behind his back? We don't even see that anymore, don't we see people with the hands cuffed in front?"

2. The Nation will metastasis and rot at the root, poisoned by GOP waters without ethics

The Nation will metastasis and rot if the maga-cancer is not incised and irradiated.

3. Marlins 2 Mets 1 yesterday

That is in the books. As is the 2020 election and his indictments. In the books.

5. If he didn't do anything wrong then he has nothing to worry about

Right?

6. As their little American bubble bursts, they'll see that a whole 'nother America was there all along

If they can wipe the crusty outrage from their eyes instead of imagining fellow Americans as enemies.

7. I came in to the family room to find hubby

watching CNN. I've sat here for a little while, and then had to turn the channel. It's all *rump, for the most part, and the same stuff over and over and over again. Enough, already! Geesh! The world will actually continue to turn when he is arrested and charged. And who cares if he's in handcuffs or not... and if they're in the front or the back? His hands will still slip out of them! And his mouth will still be going full tilt on lies.

I just want to be rid of him... put him under a gag order, lock him up when he can't keep his mouth shut. Most of our trouble is caused by his mouth. So, shut down that WMD.

12. I want to see him with a ball and chains.

Screw handcuffs.

8. Advice worth heeding at this point.

There will be plenty of fools seeking his favor hoping for a few pieces of silver. The media will carry their tales ad nauseam. It's but the wind.

9. Who's not calm?

Other than that embarrassing hack at the NYT, Peter Baker…

10. I don't think most people think that.

In fact, I think most Republicans could care less. Donnie is more a liability for them than anything else. They'd be happy to be rid of his stinking ass, regardless of what they may say publicly.

11. I'm WAY more concerned about the fascism that will be encouraged if Trump is not convicted.

We need to confirm that nobody is above the law, or else we will have more Trumps.

[wryter2000]

13. I am not worried about civil war

After his failure to help out the people who revolted for him and all the people who have gone to jail, there's no way he's going to raise an army again.

[Martin Eden]

14. If we let the would-be fascists intimidate us into abandoning the rule of law

Then we might as well give up any hope of saving our democracy, and accept living in a fascist state.

15. like the posting

agree

16. And the New York Slime shows its cult cred

Just a screen snap. They don't even deserve a click.

18. Who wrote that OP? The Grey Lady is ...

17. the media overestimates Trump's call to arms..

members of "stand back/stand by" fame are in prison, awaiting trial, or harassing drag queens..

Granted, indicting a former president is unprecedented but then again the American Civil War/Viet Nam/John Kennedy*Martin Luther King*Bobby Kennedy/Nixon and the Watergate break-in/ 9-11/George W. Bush's unprovoked war/Trump's craven response to a global pandemic/January 6, 2021..all unprecedented, and yet, we as a nation survived..

Trump's indictment is not an OMG the sky is falling moment, it's a reckoning, a collective cleanse....hopefully, more indictments will follow, and then maybe the media will finally get their heads out of Trump's fat ass.
