In a Truth Social post earlier today [LINK HERE], President Donald Trump announced a leak from the Manhattan District Attorney’s office indicates he will be arrested next Tuesday.
While there has been some attention to the “protest, take our nation back” element to the statement, in totality that reference point appears to be misinterpreted. President Trump is not calling for a protest in response to his arrest per se’; to me, he appears to be calling upon “protest” in relation to the totality of the corrupt and manipulative state of our nation as a result of the radical leftists tearing our nation apart.
“THESE are the times that try men’s souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman.
Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph.
What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as FREEDOM should not be highly rated.”
~ Thomas Paine, The Crisis No. I (written 19 December 1776, published 23 December 1776)
We are engaged in a battle that is much larger than a modern political conflict. Behind the lies, manipulations and schemes of the corrupt political class, there is a spiritual battle on a larger dynamic. There is a spiritual war among all people. A conflict between light and dark, morality and corruption, right and wrong, truth and lies, decency and incivility.
The opposition arguments are weak and based on lies and deceptions. Steel your resolve to the landscape that surrounds us, but do not let yourself become victim to dark imaginings. There is protection around Donald John Trump that even he could never explain.
Steadfast in this conflict, we will not fail.
Amazing.
Here’s a thread talking about Trump being arrested NEXT Tuesday on bogus charges.
With 987 comments so far.
And not one mention of the 2nd Amendment.
And that’s why I think the nation is probably lost.
please read my comments in this thread. While I DO SUPPORT 2A, there would be no reason to get up in arms over a state misdemeanor charge that is likely to fall flat on its face.
Yes, President Trump is being attacked. But there is no reason to go ballistic over a nothing burger…
NOT YET!

Do you really think the apparently impending arrest is really the only reason to protest? Look at it this way, regitiger. You did great work analyzing the WHY of J6. And who has reported that to the public? Effectively, NO ONE. They almost completely control the media and the media will use this misdemeanor to destroy Trump in even more minds. Meanwhile … the clock will be ticking away on fixing the election system. Time is running out and unless this happens, no matter how many votes Trump gets, his opponent will get 10% more. THAT is why we need to get out and protest. Everything else right now is a distraction. And distraction will end MAGA.
Elon Musk: ‘Trump Will Be Re-Elected in a Landslide Victory’ if Arrested
https://www.breitbart.com/2024-election/2023/03/18/elon-musk-trump-will-be-re-elected-landslide-victory-if-arrested/
That assumes that there will even be elections.
Or if there are, the UNIPARTY wouldn’t cheat.
Whatever number of votes Trump gets, his UNIPARTY opponent will get 10% more.
And there will be no authority in a position to do anything about the steal.
We ALL (including Musk) need to stop pretending this isn’t so.
Ya mean 3 billion CITIZENS and 5 billion votes ??? YEP !
if 100 million vote for Trump, Biden will get 110 million. They think we’re stupid
…and they know that nothing will fix their corruption. They themselves in government and our corrupt judges all refuse to follow the Constitution, and these so-called judges legislate from the bench, asserting their agenda or flat out refusing to hear credible cases …
Musk’s prediction about this turning into a victory for Trump sounds like an example of that old expression: “there’s no such thing as bad publicity”. Additionally, these would-be prosecutors seem to have forgotten that Trump has, over the course of his career, perfected the fine art of turning lemons into lemonade.
Trump didn’t exactly turned lemons into lemonade during his first term because he came face to face with reality … a reality which basically undid everything he accomplished his first term. And now they are pulling out all the stops to make sure that he doesn’t run again. Or if he runs, to ensure by cheating that he can’t possibly win. I view most statements like Musk’s as hopium. They do nothing concrete to make sure the steal isn’t repeated. They are exactly the same sort of statements that RINOs made by the hundreds prior to the 2020 election.
Musk has a powerful influence with a voice heard worldwide that few on our side, if any, have.. and whose statements reach a massive audience influenced by the corrupt left yet will hear what he says and may even ponder his underlying messages, so don’t kid yourself. He may not be a savior but he’s an ally for freedom
any media source that says anything critical of the U-Party should be commended and encouraged not minimized and rejected.
Well let’s be honest with ourselves. We commended Lindsey Graham for all his positive sounding statements. Likewise a dozen other top Republicans. Only to realize later that they were all controlled opposition, squarely in the enemy’s camp. Their purpose was to string us along, offer *hope*, delay delay delay, but never do what they could have done to fix the system … to hold the bad guys/gals responsible.
Even Sundance pointed out that they knew the gig was up with regards to Twitter and while Musk did expose a lot regarding how it was used, he didn’t name the FBI people still working for Twitter, and no-one has been held accountable for clear violations of the laws. And he’s made a lot of statements that suggest allegiance to DeSantis, rather than Trump. Encourage, yes, but watch your back.
He may be an ally but is his statement true? Will Trump win by a landslide if they arrest him, when the system is still rigged to give any opponent to Trump 10% more votes than Trump? What is being done to prevent that? Very little that I can see, mostly because every organization that could do something about that has been coopted by the UNIPARTY. And when it happens, what recourse is there that can nullify or punish such cheating? Nothing that I can see there either. That’s my point.
There is stuff that can be done. There is stuff that will eventually be done. The only real question is how tight the noose must be before one fights back and whether one will prevail in that fight when it arrives.
Musk is NOT our ally. Musk is owned by China just as Biden is. Musk is controlled opposition at best. Brighter in his approach than the delay, delay, delay or Biden compatriots.
It is up to us, the voters , to ensure the vote is secure. I will stand outside the vote counting place all night to secure it. Tech guys and gals can watch the internet all night, they know how. Forget the TV. This is REAL.
Unfortunately, standing outside the vote counting place isn’t going to make a difference. And you’ll be standing there for weeks as they adjust the vote so Trump’s opponent … indeed any opponent to MAGA … wins. But it is up to us. We just need to do something effective rather than relying on more hopium.
In some cities, counties and states, standing outside the vote counting place WILL be effective. In other places, other tactics will be/are needed.
honestly, even if he did win, they would cheat him to defeat. There in no way in the worldbthe powers that be, will ever let him take office again. do you really think they would let that happen.
So, you negative Nellie’s, if I follow your line of logic to it’s ultimate end, are saying PDJT should not even bother to run, and WE should not bother to vote for him, or even vote at all, because “you know they will just cheat and steal it, again.”
I ain’t buying it.
I WILL vote for him, every time he is on the ballot, and write him in if he’s not.
They sure seem to be trying, every way possible to keep him from getting the nomination, and keep him off the ballot.
Seems like a lot of work, when all they have to do is STEAL it, doesn’t it?
Almost seems like they really don’t WANT to have to steal it.
Yes, Dutchman.
Yes, don’t overlook what he showed you can be done. Keep the faith, trust “All That Is”.
Agree and with each subsequent election the cheating will need to be more blatant and obvious. And to those who say its already blatant and obvious – ask an independent or dem/lib.
Perhaps you could explain to us how AZ, GA, MI, NV and PA are going to allow Trump to win? Those are all critical battleground states whose election apparatus (and judges to maintain that apparatus) are either in the firm grip of Democrats, or in the case of AZ, the firm grip of Juan McCain RINOs.
https://compactmag.com/article/they-can-t-let-him-back-in
The problem is that none of these folks are listening, Maximus-Cassius.
They won’t give you an answer because they have none to that question.
“So, you negative Nellie’s, if I follow your line of logic to it’s ultimate end, are saying PDJT should not even bother to run, and WE should not bother to vote for him, or even vote at all, because “you know they will just cheat and steal it, again.””
I don’t think that’s what AddisonDeWitt was saying and it certainly isn’t what I said or implied. I’m just warning you that with the system now in place, Trump is not going to win. His opponent will get more votes, no matter how many people show up to vote for him. Seriously, do you think Biden got 80+ million votes? No, but Trump did get over 70 Million … largest number ever. And didn’t win.
That how bad the cheating was and so far very little has been done to prevent that from happening again. So if what I’m saying is true, we need to fix the system to have any hope of winning. Not get complacent because of the hopium statements of people like Musk. As for the other side putting a lot of work into making sure he can’t run or get the nomination, why wouldn’t they make sure … have a plan B and C? Besides, those things give the cheating plausible deniability.
You do not know that. You do not know what Trump voters will or will not do. Quit discouraging people. It does not help anyone. By the way, Trump did win. January 6 was a coup d’état.
Every time they do something BLATANT, they lose power over the people. People lose trust and if people no longer trust their government because it has blatantly broken the social contract, how will they nudge them into compliance with mandates? This is the broken Humpty Dumpty dilemma.
There are not enough police to put us all into cells and keep us there. They know that. They know their power over us is hanging by a thread. Plus, we are a hard knock country born of criminals and rebellious souls. It IS our birthright and they know that too.
They did not get the needed 70% shot compliance for their destructive purposes. They only got just over 50%. In other countries, the compliance numbers were much, much higher. Why was it different in the states?
Believing that Trump can win does not mean people are being complacent about anything. Many, many are working to lock down and ensure voting integrity all over the country. Even more people are making themselves more self-sufficient every day. People can and do do both.
TY
“You do not know that.”
Actually, I do know that the election system hasn’t been fixed. One need only look to the results of 2022 to see massive cheating still happening in multiple key states. Tell me what’s been done since 2020 to prevent the cheating that got Biden 81 million votes (at least 20 million of them probably bogus) and 306 electoral votes? What’s been done to prevent democRATS from winning the same 306 electoral votes they won in 2020? Name a state Trump is now expected to win that he lost in 2020.?
“You do not know what Trump voters will or will not do.”
But it’s not about what Trump voters do or don’t do at the ballot box. It’s about an election system that is rigged to give the UNIPARTY candidate 10% more votes than Trump will get no matter how many voters come out and vote for him.
“Quit discouraging people. It does not help anyone.”
And hopium is not going to get us out of this mess either. I’m not discouraging people from voting. I’m just being honest about the chance of their vote mattering GIVEN THE CURRENT ELECTION SYSTEM. We need to focus not on getting out more vote, because that’s going to happen given the state the country is in, but on getting the election system fixed … rather than ignoring that’s it’s still rigged.
And as I’ve pointed out over and over, we aren’t going to fix it with more sunshine, more lawsuits, more appeals to GOP leaders, more mocking of Biden, more ridicule of the media, more MAGA candidates, by primariying out RINOS, or with more money sent to Trump or the RNC. All that’s been tried now … and it’s failed. And we’re out of time.
We have at most a year and a half to do something. That’s not enough time to change the election process by any established formal means, even if those means weren’t now in control of the UNIPARTY. So I’ve offered an alternative, though few here seem to want to discuss it. They’d rather go on pretending that hopium can win for us.
“By the way, Trump did win. January 6 was a coup d’état.”
Yes, it was a coup d’état. You’re speaking to the choir. But Trump did NOT win. Don’t delude yourself. Biden OFFICIALLY won. Biden supposedly got 10% more votes and there were even many top Republicans (Trump’s own running mate!) who said so. And THAT is what the American people for the most part have heard. They don’t visit CTH or listen to Tucker. They’ve been brainwashed.
Now you and I know that Biden didn’t get 81 million votes, but you’re not suggesting anything that’s going to prevent that same thing from happening again. The ONLY way we are going to fix this without a bloody civil war is by doing something that will force the next election to be conducted fairly. Then we can simply vote them out. That’s what I’m suggesting.
“Every time they do something BLATANT, they lose power over the people. People lose trust and if people no longer trust their government because it has blatantly broken the social contract, how will they nudge them into compliance with mandates?”
I’m sorry, but you’re being naive. They don’t care about the people’s trust. That should be obvious by now, given the number of things they’ve enacted that polls show the people don’t believe or want. Look at their behavior vis a vis Covid. They view power over the people the same way the Communist Chinese do. The same way the old Soviets did. They don’t need the people’s trust. Just their compliance. To the Chinese and Soviets, power comes/came from the military and local/federal police. From their surveillance state and intelligence agencies. From controlling the media and communications. From propagandizing the populace. From controlling banking and job availability. And intimidation and Gulags. And that’s true of the UNIPARTY regime. Even the Gulag part.
The only obstacle to the UNIPARTY establishing the same type of dictatorship the Chinese now have and the Soviets had is the fact that there are still 500 million guns in the hands of American civilians. And we are an unruly people. But if we don’t use those guns for the purpose the Founders intended, they might as well not exist. And the longer we wait, the more time the UNIPARTY has to take those guns away from us bit by bit.
And the more time they have to isolate their leadership and their families from the people. That’s what the Chinese and Soviets did. They built cities for their leaders, created supply chains independent of the people and put walls, checkpoints and the military between them and the people. Once that happens here our guns will be essentially useless. Then America will look like that dystopian image that Sundance posts now and then. They’ll be behind the walls and we’ll be on the outside.
“There are not enough police to put us all into cells and keep us there.”
The whole country is going to be a cell before long. Don’t you get it?
“They know their power over us is hanging by a thread.”
What thread? We can’t vote them out with the current election process. We can’t take them to court. The GOP clearly isn’t cutting that thread. Musk is not doing it. DeSantis is not doing it. We can’t out propagandize them. Many of us can’t even get our children to look at democRATS rationally because they’re too brainwashed by years and years of *eduKation* and media indoctrination.
The only leverage we have over our would be ruler tyrants now is the 500 million guns in our possession. Which we seem to be afraid to use for the purpose the Founders, in their wisdom, added the Second Amendment to the Constitution.
“It IS our birthright and they know that too.”
Do they? They aren’t acting like it at all. They are acting like it’s their birthright to rule us.
“They did not get the needed 70% shot compliance for their destructive purposes.”
Fact is, 81% of the American population received at least one Covid vaccine dose. If this was a test of compliance, we pretty much complied. But what this has to do with our discussion, anyway? The issue is who is going to win the next election when they’ve rigged the system to give them 10% more votes than us … not whether the Covid vaccine was a success for them or not.
“Many, many are working to lock down and ensure voting integrity all over the country.”
That may be true but like I said, name one state that Biden won that Trump is now expected to win?
BeAChooser is unfortunately, totally correct. Nothing has changed in these key states.

Hey, he won the last time. We all know it. The entire world knows it. We’re just China’s and WEF’s bit h right now.
Yes, but once again, they will fake it and take it! They FEAR him more than anyone else and will do whatever they can to stop him from running. Most politicians are nothing more than criminals, pretending to be elected by and in representation of, we the people. What a joke! Taxation without representation is what we have. Thiefs in office, stealing what we work for and spending like it’s their personal checking account, forcing us to support everyone else, while failing to protect our rights, our freedom, our liberties. Thus far, they have gotten away with the most explicit misuse of our justice system and flagrant misconduct and manipulation of power, it is nothing short of traitorous acts against this country and its citizens . All that has transpired, should have never been allowed. Accountability for malicious prosecution and ridiculous lengthy investigations of “trumped up” allegations, the blatant disregard for misuse of taxpayers money, the lack of concern for the quality of life of t his nations citizens first and foremost, should never be tolerated or taken lightly The riots, they called protests and supported?? The protest they called a riot, that they are persistently enforcing the full force of the law, holding participants, “imprisoned indefinitely” to this day?? THE GOVERNMENT IS NO LONGER WORKING FOR US, THEY ARE WORKING AGAINST US. They have shown they will not listen. They do not follow the law. They will not allow democracy, they no longer care what it looks like. Only what they want, no matter how they achieve it, but DAMN sure they will profit from it! If they can do this to Trump, they can do it to anyone! .
It will only stand, if we permit it.
I think this is one way we can take OUR country back from the huckster-fraud-bankers.

Professor Turley:
‘Legally Pathetic’: Jonathon Turley Shreds Alvin Bragg’s Potential Case Against Trump…
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2023/03/18/legally-pathetic-jonathon-turley-shreds-alvin-braggs-potential-case-against-trump/
And this has what to do with Trump supposedly about to be arrested?
Again, what does this have to do with reports that Trump is about to get arrested?
to provide clarity about the specifics of the Manhanttan DA case against President Trump, for those that are not fully aware of the details:
a. President Trumps’ company had a phony retainer agreement with cohen that President Trump KNEW ABOUT, which would establish a falsified records violation in the state of NY. This is a misdemeanor charge. NOT A FELONY
b. potentially, the manhattan DA may charge President Trump – “That separate crime, prosecutors may argue, was a violation of state election law. Authorities could make the case that Trump paid off Daniels to benefit his campaign.”
if they use cohen as the centerpiece for this case…it’s unlikely the case will be successful. Cohen is not a reliable witness. He has twice lied before congress and at least once before NY DA prosecutors. So we can expect the court to recognize cohen’s testimony as nothing more than garbage.
in both possibilities none of these so called crimes climb the ladder beyond misdemeanor state crimes.
therefore, there would not be any reason for an arrest in the sense of handcuffs or raiding a home or anything like that. “Arrest” in this case is just the media exaggerating the process of a formal charge approved by a judge. Nothing more than that.
other notes: former manhattan prosecutors have declined this case and some have resigned in protest. Some of this has also been exaggerated to narrate and inflame the agenda.
In my estimate this:
the case will go to trial.
it is unlikely the case will be won by prosecutors…both witnesses are unreliable: cohen and daniels.
at best the prosecutors may be able to find the Trump organization violated campaign finance laws in the state of ny, a state misdemeanor, however even this will be difficult to prove because 1. the records do show that cohen was paid this money as “legal expenses”….the prosecutor has the burden to prove that cohen was directed to use this money as legal expenses to pay the national inquirer with the intent of not just quashing the lurid story..but that it was done WITH CAMPAIGN MONEY.
so they will have to prove there are some documents material to trump or his campaign not just intermingly campaign money to the legal expenses, but also that the campaign money for legal expenses was to block a media story and thus influence an election…which is a violation of NY state campaign finance law.
I doubt either of the two possible allegations will be proved in court.
God Bless America
You actually believe our judicial system still functions? You’re willing to trust the outcome will be remotely fair? That a jury in NY will even care if the witnesses are unreliable? And it’s ok for them to disrupt Trump’s campaign efforts in such a manner? Sorry, but I think we need to get out and protest this by the millions and stop it. Send a message.
sadly, like the 2+ year russia hoax. or ukr phone call…

Yes, people know. But when dealing with a communist regime, just knowing is not enough.
We will get there soon enough.
Where, specifically?
Let’s say they indict him, why arrest him? Is he running from them? Has he EVER indicated he will not cooperate with their “investigation”? The only reason to arrest the President is to provide ammo for their sycophants in the media and on the twatter machine… and of course there is 2024…
Everyone with the smallest degree of intellectual honesty and decency knows EXACTLY what is going here…EVERYONE. That includes the creep occupying the WH.
The powers that be threatened Cohen’s family just Like they threatened Flynn’s family.
And there are many people who have died already for speaking out.
I don’t want my President arrested by murderers.
Ashli Babbitt. Roseanne Boyland and others. I sniff murder in the deaths of Brian Sicknick and other Capitol police. I don’t think Seth Rich was robbed. I don’t think Jeffrey Epstein killed himself. There are more recently who have been discovered “Suicides” shot with no gun nearby.
This is not a time for complacency. I agree about caution and care but these are awful unlawful people after our President.

None of the allegations against President Trump of wrongdoing over the years has been proven in court, but I’d argue that every one of them has been successful in damaging him politically.
The only solace I can take in the latest episode of “We’ve got him now!” is that it looks like the Matrix is finally out of ammo and had to reload a squib. They’re *desperately* trying to make it to the finish line before we do.
May God continue to bless us all…….especially President Trump.

“None of the allegations against President Trump of wrongdoing over the years has been proven in court, but I’d argue that every one of them has been successful in damaging him politically.”
Yes. If nothing else, those bogus allegations, repeated over and over and over, gave those voters already in the UNIPARTY camp reason to continue to hate Trump and look no futher. They keep them voting for the UNIPARTY rather than dropping out … which would be a problem for them. Because when it came to cheating, they UNIPARTY only had to add another 10 to 20% of the vote to win … instead of having to add 30 to 40%. The first was a close enough margin that they could get away with the cheating, the other probably not.
And may we turn back to God, repent, and pray!!!
Define success. They have not stopped Trump yet. Why? He is just one man.
1) NYS Grand Juries, only deliberate Felony Charges. Any Indictment by or any Evidence presented to a NYS GJ, pertains strictly to Felony Charges. Misdemeanor Arrest Charges are arraigned before a Judge…
2) IF, the GJ returns an Indictment the charges they agree to must be a NYS-PL Felony. Or they will decline to Indict and the DA may charge the suspect with a Misd Charge…
3) Whether or NOT, the suspect is Charged with a Fel or a Misd. The now defendant will be, Fingerprinted, Photographed and in a Felony, I believe a DNA sample is also taken…
yes, this ^ after I wrote and posted I went back and looked at another aspect of the case and there IS a definite flaw in jurisdiction. How this will be presented by the defense and how it will be managed by the judge is yet to be seen.
good catch Rightfield! helps complete the full story here.
ps. in terms of collecting biological samples, I would presume that has already happened several times at least once when President Trump was treated at Walter Reed for covid.
I think at this point peoples are being bullied into submission.
Thanks regitiger.
Perhaps it’s time to do a little bullying back? Protests by 10-20 million might do it.
When the time comes and not before.
We have at most a year and a half to fix the election system.
So when is the time, Lolly? Care to offer a deadline?

The problem is not whether Donald Trump would win or lose this case. The problem is that it’s being brought against him to begin with. It takes blatant disregard for the justice system, the Constitution and human rights, not to mention even handedness in the justice system to even bring these charges. Our Justice System is broken. That is the problem.

Advice to Trump Supporters Considering Protesting His Expected Arrest Next Week, from an Experienced Conservative Street Activist
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2023/03/advice-to-trump-supporters-considering-protesting-his-expected-arrest-next-week-from-an-experienced-conservative-street-activist/
What this article describes is protesting in a world that no longer exists as of January 6, 2021. A world where a conservative can go to a cop and expect fair treatment. A world where protest is “fun”. A world where small groups of protestors might accomplish something … and I say *might* because even back them, for all the protesting she and others did against the Clintons, what did they actually accomplish?
Ask yourself that and whether the current regime/media combine will care about the type of protests she’s describing now, any more than the Clintons, media and authorities cared back then? They didn’t. The truth is that for protests to make a difference against the current opponents, they are going to have to be HUGE.
The area going to have to occur in multiple cities at that same time … each protest numbering in the hundreds of thousands of protestors. And they will have to be armed (open carry or not) to keep the authorities from bullying them, from arresting the leadership of them … or anyone else they choose … willy nilly. Armed well enough that should government infiltrators start something, the regime would find itself on the defensive, not the offensive. Armed well enough that the government will realize they’d be setting off a powder keg.
The current protests also need a single, very clear message … not the vague nonsense of the Clinton protests. They should only demand (and I mean DEMAND) a revised election process that will guarantee cheating doesn’t affect the 2024 election. Who could be against that? Get that, and all the rest that we want will follow. Fail in getting that and nothing else we want will matter ever again. And the protests should continue and grow larger until we get that … eventually moving on to interference in the economy and lifestyle of the blue cities in blue states where the UNIPARTY voter base resides.
The author is right in saying “rights must be exercised or they will be taken away.” That goes not only for First Amendment rights but for the Second Amendment right too. And that right states that “the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” Protestors have every right to defend the protests from government abuse. The Founders used that right to secure a free country. We should to … after all, the Founders added it to the Constitution for precisely this situation.
Unfortunately, most people will keep trying to find a painless and safe way to protest until the hammer of Communism comes down upon them full force. This is the way free nations fall.
I fear you may be right. The Founders would be very disappointed in most modern Americans.
Here’s a never Trump repub for you…

I say this as his most fervent supporter, but Ron DeSantis is making a massive mistake by not speaking up on the Trump prosecution issue.
All he needs to do is put out a statement similar to this suggested by Cernovich.
The clock is ticking… ⏰
These DeSantisites have a blind spot to their man’s connections to the GOP Establishment donor class. He’s not going to do anything that will help Trump because his GOPe handlers won’t let him do it. Is that too hard for the DeSantisites to comprehend?

HUGE: “THEY LIED ABOUT EVERYTHING” – 96-Page DC Police Report UNCOVERED – Shows Govt Knew MAGA Was Coming on Jan 6 and Entrapped Them ALL
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2023/03/huge-they-lied-about-everything-a-96-page-dc-police-report-uncovered-shows-govt-knew-maga-was-coming-on-jan-6-and-entrapped-them-all/
Yeah, we’d be fools to go and protest THE SAME WAY our side protested J6. But we should protest. Only do it in numbers they can’ t possibly control (hundreds of thousands … millions) and with a large number of 2nd Amendment carriers in the crowd so that if they start something, it’s sure to be beyond their ability to control it. Call it deterrence.
I’ll pass, provacatuer.
I keep asking you folks, what makes you think the election system isn’t rigged any longer and all I hear is crickets. Obviously, you know it’s still broken. So how are we going to fix it in the time available … less than a year and a half now … without mass protests? Without making demands and threatening consequences? You call me a provactuer. Well, that’s what Paine and Hancock and Henry were. So I stand in good company and take that as a compliment. But who do you stand with, dutchman?
I’m a supporter of an armed citizenry, but I would pause to consider what would happen if armed people showed up to protest a campaign finance law violation case in New York City. It is not only making a huge strategic mistakes, but one that for certain the secret police state would infiltrate to cause mayhem. It’s just my opinion here, but I don’t think this is a good time or reason to assemble armed people to protest over NY AG misconduct and corruption. Now on the other hand, if this case was about lets say…a direct infringement on 2A, or trying to establish some fundamental attack on natural rights..I would hold a different view.
of course, I do believe in the not so distance future these matters will settled from regional disputes even over the most mundane of circumstances..in the sense that people stripped of rights over a long period and over a broad range of issues, have always created the conditions for kinetics or at least the display of force and firepower.
I would also say this: people showing up at this trial with firearms are in no way going to influence the outcomes and will not create deterrence of any kind. I am not opposed to the idea of an armed protest, I simply think it would be counter productive and give more footing for the narratives of the radicals to reject president trump..as well, it puts president trump in the most weird and unwanted position to either speak out or speak up to that kind of activity. Defending President Trump in this case is important, but it would be more effective strategically to keep the powder dry and at home and spend that energy defeating this case in a way that makes a statement: the NY DA office is corrupt and has become a jackboot stazi for political interests.

“I’m a supporter of an armed citizenry, but I would pause to consider what would happen if armed people showed up to protest a campaign finance law violation case in New York City.”
You and the others are not listening. You keep misrepresenting what I’ve said and suggested. Tossing out strawmen, I’ve never suggested armed protests merely to protest campaign finance law violations. My concern is FAR, FAR more serious … the nation itself is at stake now. Addressing that concern, I’ve made it quite clear, multiple times, what the message of the protestors should be … what the demands of the protestors should be … what the protestors should do if the demands aren’t met. Can any of you tell me what I said? Call this a test.
Now while I wait for your response, tell me, regitiger, do you think Biden got 80+ million votes in 2020? About 10% more than Trump legitimately got (largest number of votes in history). If the answer is no, then what’s been done to prevent that from happening again in 2024? Very little as far as I can see. Only a few times has someone argued that there has been progress but when I challenged them to back up their claim, they ran. Maybe you can convince me that I have nothing to worry about … that this time the vote will be fair.
“It is not only making a huge strategic mistakes, but one that for certain the secret police state would infiltrate to cause mayhem.”
The fact that you agree there is a secret police state in the first place is exactly WHY we need to protest in the millions and why the protestors should be armed. Don’t you think?
The truth is they FEAR we will protest. Look at all the effort being put into dissuading conservatives from doing so. It’s non-stop right now. Just this morning I listened to Pocahontas Warren telling people on CBS not to protest if NY arrests Trump. One politico after another, on both sides of the political aisle, are advising against it. The talking heads are against it. And now there are people on this forum saying that. Heck, the whole purpose of the J6 kangaroo show trials was to make people fearful of being involved in any future protests. To behave like good little sheep. To give up their RIGHT TO PROTEST.
Yes, you’re right, the Feds might try to infiltrate large protests, but this time our side might be a little more aware and suspicious of such provocateurs. Maybe they’d get treated the same way the Antifa folks who tried to infiltrate J6 did? And in crowds of a hundred thousand or a million, occurring in multiple cities at the same time, how many infiltrators would the Feds need? Does they even have that many people they could send in?
And what would be their purpose? You say they might cause mayhem. To what end? To incite the crowds into open rebellion rather than just making demands? Is that something the Feds want, because it sure doesn’t sound like it, listening to Warren and others. In fact, I suggest their worst nightmare is that armed crowds of a 100,000 or more might be incited into violence. Because then the situation would be beyond their control. Then the unrest might grow by leaps and bounds. And there are 400 million guns in our hands.
And if they do cause mayhem, what then? Would the police going to go into action and arrest everyone? Is that the plan? Do you think the police would dare, if even 3% of the crowd were armed? That would be 3000 armed people in a crowd of 100,000. The NYPD only has 50000 employees, TOTAL! You think they’d want to start a war?
Heck, the National Guard only has 400,000 people … and many of them would likely be in the protesting crowds. To incite an armed crowd that size to open revolt would be like lighting the fuse on a powder keg in their own city. The UNIPARTY knows this and fears it. We need not be intimidated. The Founders weren’t.
If they use their J6 plan, they won’t mess too much with the masses. They wait until later and pick us off one by one.
Millions of us?
Thank you for that. When the time comes, we will know without being told.
Don’t protest. Just make it easy for them. Hide in your basement until they come knocking at your door. And they will in due time. Maybe keep a diary or something.
It’s not a dichotomy, where you have to choose between giving the agitators something to infiltrate vs sitting on your hands.
Fools go before it is time.
Like I said, we have at most a year and a half to fix the election system. So when is the time?

‘Stand Up or Step Aside’: Republican Presidential Candidate Calls on Governor DeSantis to Take Action Following News of Potential Trump Indictment
Excerpt:

EXACTLY. In FACT, had Trump spent this money from his campaign the accusation would be that he is using campaign funds for personal/business concerns. Candidates can’t pay for hairdos with campaign funds despite it being “triggered” by the campaign. Same thing here.
CREW filed a complaint against the RNC for spending $150K on clothing for Palin. The FEC ruled it did not violate personal use ban because that provision applies only to candidate committees; not party committees. It would be against rules for Trump to use campaign money here!

Statute of limitations in New York 2yrs to bring case for misdemeanor and 5 years for felony “unless defendant continuously outside the state” so we need to understand how they can prove he was “continuously”outside the state if he came back to trump tower periodically?
Legal residence moved from ny to fla in sept 2019. Is that relevant to the statute of limitations?
If he kept and maintained a residence in NYC, no. If he sold NYC Trump tower, then, yes.

It took one week for DeSantis to finally speak out against the Mar a Lago raid.
How long will it take to speak out against the political prosecution of a Florida resident?
Or will he?
He still hasn’t condemned the human rights abuses of non violent Floridian J6 protesters.
Doesn’t matter, he has already missed the window, and in politics there is no going back.
By not speaking out yesterday, DeSantis cooked his political career. He is toast.

The idea that a routine private settlement, unconnected to any campaign activity, is a criminal offense because the settlement should have been paid with official campaign funds is the most preposterous, ludicrous, idiotic, indefensible, fraudulent “legal theory” conceivable. 1/3
Under this “theory,” candidates must use federal campaign funds for private, personal or corporate matters—an exact inversion of federal law. Indeed, DOJ prosecutes those who use campaign funds for expressly non-campaign purposes. Of course, the “theory” is all bogus pretext. 2/3
No serious human believes that Manhattan DA’s office believes any of this. They understand this is a purely partisan exercise in vengefully prosecuting a political enemy precisely as is done is repressive third world nations, despotic regimes and marxist authoritarian states. 3/3

Background:
Congress owes taxpayers answers about its harassment ‘shush’ fund
Excerpt:
According to the Washington Post, there were 235 complainants received compensation totaling $15.2 million between 1997 and 2014. That’s more than one settlement per month for 17 years and nearly $1 million per year.
Source: The Hill
And,
Excerpt:
Amid the cascade of sexual harassment allegations ignited by The New York Times’ exposé of Harvey Weinstein, Rep. Jackie Speier (D-Calif.) told MSNBC earlier this month that the House had paid out millions of dollars over the last decade to settle sexual harassment claims.
Under public pressure, the Office of Compliance, which acts as the House’s rough simulacrum of a human resources department, released documents showing it had paid out $17 million since 1997 to settle a variety of workplace claims, including sexual harassment.

There was a congressional bill to fix this abuse, but it was never passed:

Thoughts:
First, another “leak” from Democrat controlled operatives- in this case Bragg’s office.
After reading through comments I am wondering if this was leaked to test the waters? See how people respond. Trump hasn’t been indicted yet. Was this done to see if it would fly? If not, poof, Trump conspiracy…over-reaction.
