Exactly! And as we learned in Watergate, it wasn't the break-in, but Nixon's obstruction of justice, abuse of power, and contempt of Congress that led to the articles of impeachment.

As Sparko alluded to, even if it's too late for Trump to attempt to prevent Weinstein from flipping, attacking the judge "for leaning on Allen" let's Trump prepare the soil for continuing to claim and fund raise on the never exhausted well of "victimhood" his cult falls for, if Allen does.

And, right on cue, Trump confirms what every talking head predicted yesterday after the indictment, that despite his lawyers pleading with him not to, Trump is already begging for a gag order of some kind, like the one slapped on Roger Stone after he distributed a picture of his judge's face with a target next to it.

And, for the record, as glad as I am that Trump might finally be held accountable for his actions in this or another trial, my sadness that America was subjected to this man who possesses absolutely no character or sense of responsibility, is only exceeded by the fear I feel if he is allowed to go unpunished.
And what’s hilarious is that, in begging for that gag order, he’s begging to give away the biggest advantage he’s got: the bully pulpit.
Exactly, and how is he going to keep fleecing his sheep and inflaming the resistance, if he can't go on the media and "catapult" the propaganda?

He says as he claims that all these investigations into illegal behavior are nothing but a conspiracy to take down Trump. You don't even see that everything you claim that is happening to Trumpers is just being done by Trumpers.

And its just coincidence that it happened when it did, despite him never being suicidal previously in his life?
To my knowledge, Epstein had never previous been in jail facing life behind bars, either. Kinda changes a man's proclivity towards suicide.
Also Trump and his DA controlled his incarceration. Barr even visited the prison before the death. If anything, Trump and his pals were in control of that conspiracy.

But the same people who have been trying to take Trump down for years, have also been trying to bury and suppress evidence of criminal activity within their own party
JFC, just how big IS that rabbit hole?

I especially like the part where Lindsey tells the rubes to go to trump.com and give him some money.

I assume at least some of Lindsey's grandchildren still like him. I think his remaining time would be better spent outside the public eye.

He should probably go ahead and cartwheel out of that closet too

This too will pass.
You're not paying attention.
I'm paying attention, we just have different points of reference for what a shit show looks like. I was seven years old and standing on the corner of 55th and Lawndale when a real fuckin shit show went down. My grandfather was one of the guys in leather jackets and blue riot helmets with a shotgun in his hand hiding behind a car looking up at windows for snipers. I could see the smoke from the fires from my grandmother's apartment. It looked at times like the whole city of Chicago was on fire from where we were.

And that too passed.

The difference is the people starting the fires in Chicago just had their leader murdered. They had no hope and they had nothing to lose. Your never want to get in a fight with someone who has nothing to lose, burning it all to the ground while getting shot is the best they can hope for.

The realtor who chartered a private jet to fly to DC for Jan 6 realized she had something to lose after the feds came for her. And her "leader" was heading off to Mara-Lago to ask the rubes for money to pay for his "revenge". I just don't see Richard Spencer and Enrique Tarrio grabbing guns and running through streets knowing that in prison they won't have access to personal stylists or proper grooming products. And I'm not envisioning another hard hat riot heading to the DA's office in NY.

But we will see.

Can’t do my own research right now but the socials says a governor refusing to cooperate with extradition is a no-no.

There’s also this…

The current president will spend his last days visiting his remaining son in prison. The next president will be charged with a felony. Senators, Congresshumans, governors (not from Illinois) will go to prison. And none of it will be based on anything real (except Hunter). It'll be tit-for-tat partisan political abuse of prosecutorial power. You fucked our guy; we'll fuck yours.

This isn't about riots or civil war or "the people" at all. It's about the shittiest ruling class in history and their desire to enact Schmitt's "total state" and total war within it.

And then, in time, a savior will arise from these streets...promising to end all the bullshit and the chaos.

And he will.
