Go look it up if you like.
I'm so tired.
Golf fans everywhere are super upset to learn that Trump has invited Alvin Bragg for a friendly game of catch to settle this like best buds
I'm up late... just wondered to myself... wouldn't it be sweet if they just went in and arrested him right this minute... no time for hair and makeup... time for media.... no time for prep... no publicity or public statements. Just a tired, flabby, cranky old man getting dragged out of his penthouse and put in the back of a patrol car in the parking garage. News only breaking on the morning shows... I can imagine his unmanaged hair in the mugshot... dreams are free I guess.
More like "Trump sets Tuesday as date to see how much shit he can stir up outside of New York courthouse". But it's too late, at this point. If Trump is indicted, he'll drag the legal process out until past the 2024 election. He'll campaign and fundraise on it. Already is. If he or another republican wins, he'll get a pardon, provided he's even charged and sentenced before then. This is all so fucking pathetic. I have lost essentially all faith in the justice system. The "takes time to build an airtight case" excuse is garbage. Cohen served time for this. Presidents are above the law. A very appropriate observation on the 20th anniversary of the war on Iraq.
I wonder what percentage of actual Trump supporters would unironically propagate that. Probably a solid 4% or so.
"punches me right in the Poe's Law" I've been watching some livestreams from Bragg's Manhattan courthouse. There's probably about as much media as supporters, maybe a couple hundred of each. They're probably already locked into some stupid feedback loop wherein random losers show up to get mic time and then more media show up to cover the growing crowd. Jim Jordan & co. are wading into some dangerous territory today. And Kevin McCarthy made sure to assure people in a presser that Trump doesn't really want them to protest, physically, Trump probably just means, like, complain about things on twitter. Dude luckily we already solved inflation, all of the banking crises, and passed a bitchingly awesome budget so we can focus on the important stuff
I used to have something riding on this question so I looked it up. Took several clicks to get the whole rambling shout. What do we think the probability of an arrest by midnight Tuesday is? Despite the strangely specific time, I put it at 1%. Also, 0.1% chance of political violence leading to any human death within a week if not arrested Tuesday, 1% if arrested.
I predict Bragg waits a few days for the folks outside his office to get bored with it. The number of capslock "truths" will still steadily increase. Free speech! Anyway, I'm split on thinking that there probably won't be any violence, might give it a 5% chance, at least nothing organized, but I'm also imagining that people on e.g. telegram are circulating floor plans and shit.JIMBO SUMMERS, FROM WATERVILLE, TENNESSEE, YOU'RE A TRUE PATRIOT ALREADY BUT YOU COULD BE 100% MAGA HERO FOREVER IF YOU DID IT WITH A GLOCK TO ALVIN AND HIS CHIPMUNKS INSIDE AFTER RICKY JOHN AND BILLY FREED MAKE A RUSH ON THE POLICE AT THE SOUTHEAST ENTRANCE
