"SNIP.........
Donald Trump on Tuesday threatened unrest if the criminal charges against him cause him to lose the 2024 election, the Washington Post reports.
Speaking to reporters after an appeals court hearing in which Trumps lawyers said he should be immune from prosecution for trying to overturn the 2020 election, Trump claimed without evidence that he was being prosecuted because of polls showing him leading President Biden. He warned that if the charges succeed in damaging his candidacy, the result would be bedlam.
.........SNIP"

Let's do January 6th again and this time, let's make sure the National Guard is there and ready to handle business.
Fascists want us to be afraid.
We are not afraid of them.

badly.
On edit: Nail his ass for making terrorist threats. If one doesn't call this a terrorist threat, which by the way, I've seen hundreds of his moronic followers get nailed for making such similar threats. And he is at the center of all of these people/threats.
Hell, when they track murderers and the like (crime solvers) and pin up all of the events on a geo map, and all of the paths run through a center point (in our case here, tRUMP and all of his BS threats, texts, etc.), they nail the culprit as a result, you have tons of his texts as evidence. You have tons of recovered top secret materials in his possession (but a crappy, un-American judge) to back up the terrorist threats against us.

(66,527 posts)Actually, I much preferred it up in the turret, rather than down in the driver's hole (although the driver does have the best place to sleep!).
Riding head and chest out of the loader's hatch, manning the machine gun, feeling the wind in your face, enjoying the sensation of invincibility that crewing a tank creates.
Nothing else like it...

There is a place called "Tank America" where you can rent a tank! We were going to do this for our son in law, but we're afraid he might try to drive it to Tallahassee.

The hospital is closely associated with King's College London and, in partnership with the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience, is a major centre for psychiatric research. It is part of the King's Health Partners academic health science centre and the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) Biomedical Research Centre for Mental Health.
Founded in 1247, the hospital was originally near Bishopsgate just outside the walls of the City of London. It moved a short distance to Moorfields in 1676, and then to St George's Fields in Southwark in 1815, before moving to its current location in Monks Orchard in 1930.
The word "bedlam", meaning uproar and confusion, is derived from the hospital's nickname. Although the hospital became a modern psychiatric facility, historically it was representative of the worst excesses of asylums in the era of lunacy reform.

(2,772 posts)Last year he said charging him would lead to riots in the streets of NY. Lawrence ODonnell went to the courthouse the day DJT was charged. Very few folks were there. Trump threatens, but Im no longer frightened. Im not sure I ever was, but now I believe hes just a bag of wind. The danger is that a lone MAGA wacko will sneak through the cracks and successfully pull off an act of terrorism. But Trumps dream of a war over him? Rubbish. Hes a loser.

Warpy
(111,456 posts)and the cult you have left is a lot less likely to turn violent in any organized manner no matter what you post online or squawk at your pep rallies for hate. It's not that they're particularly deterred by prison, they're just lazy. While they're waiting for The Turner Diaries to come true, they'd rather dream about being a hero than actually do it.
We can cope with the lunatics who act out in the wee hours, a snootful of Ole Popskull propelling them to greatness. We've always had those around, you didn't make it that much worse.
So dream on, Motherfucker. The rest of us are going to VOTE and with the continued fear and revulsion you're drumming up, we will win. Again.
I_UndergroundPanther
(12,508 posts)When I was younger I wondered what the big deal was about the turner diaries .So I saw it at a flea market,paid 50 ¢ and I read it.
Worst written book ever,its racist fantasy and totally unrealistic. And because it was such a badly written book I could not finish it,and it was disgusting too.There were little line drawing illustrations who ever drew them sucks at drawing,looked like something a 6 year old would draw.
Warpy
(111,456 posts)I found some excerpts online years ago and got maybe a quarter of the way through and all I could think was "Shit guys, read porn, the characters are much more carefully delineated."
Definitely for people who can barely lipread and skip to the gory parts.

The saddest thing is that he has seduced such a large number of Americans to engage in this destructive, hateful behavior.
If any of you watched Rachel last night, she talked about how utterly messed up the Republican party actually is. And Trump is only the symptom. When leaders in the GOP started to embrace immoral behavior just to win, a great tragedy began to unfold.
It is sad that we are all forced to live this tragedy - because if Trump does win again...well, you know.

No one has come to save him at any of the court houses he's appeared; no one's coming for him post primaries or post Nov 5 general election.

ShazzieB
(16,645 posts)The only thing he knows how to do is threaten and bully. When that doesn't work, he's got nothing else to fall back on.
In your psychedelic orange tinged dreams, Donnie Boy.
You know damned well that no matter what your goons may try, the U.S. Government is more than able to handle it. Things are a lot different when there's not a psychopath in the White House keeping the National Guard, law enforcement agencies, et al., from stopping them.
I know bullying is your go-to tactic, but for it to work, the parties being bullied have to actuLly be intimidated by you. It's a shame you never learned any other coping strategies, but them's the breaks, dude!

(2,986 posts)I guarantee everything you do is completely monitored in an active counter-intel operation, and all your lackeys too. Biden is President, you are a national security threat. He has enormous powers to address national security threats and you would know nothing about any of it. Do the math and keep talking and keep digging your own grave traitor.

He is simply not capable of taking ANY responsibility for his self authored losses. It's ALWAYS someone else's fault and ALWAYS some horrible injustice done to him.
If he isn't an addict, like he claims, he is a frikken dry drunk.
