What does the future hold for Donald Trump? - threadbans in OP

Blow their trumpet? I live in Scandinavia mate, and I have yet to see people blowing any instrument on the matter, festivly or otherwise. For someone who says that they are not a Trump fan, I am getting a very MAGA vibe from what you are writing.

You keep declaring him the 47th President in your posts, suggesting that the MAGA-crowd aren't racist (but many clearly are alas) and now I detect some kind of Pro-Choice Hollywood Conspricacy in the tone of this text. We have Trump fans here, you wouldn't be alone, but please be honest about it if you are.

yeah this lawyer Trump has put up seems a red herring to try and discredit Cohen. Problem for Trump is there are reports saying the grand jury found Michael Cohen to be a compelling witness and prosecutors were pleased they asked him back for testimony a second time and they spent a couple of hours asking him questions about his testimony. Prosecutors said a grand jury being engaged to that level is a good signal for it to go to a full trial.

Have also read that when he is arrested he will do a perp walk but he wont be handcuffed. Probably as he would use those photographs to say look at what the Democrats have done to me, first they stole the election and now this blah de blah. He'll play the victim so no point cuffing him to help him play it even better.

I think the cops are taking this too seriously anyway, there wont be the mass scale protests Trump is hoping for as there isnt a central place for them to gather. I can see MAGA heads protesting outside the various state parliaments but only in small numbers, we are not going to see any repeat of Jan 6th as his supporters are littered all over the country. Im more interested in the Georgia charges anyway, this Stormy Daniels stuff is small compared to actually trying to steal an election.

Gravy Seals... Hahahahhahahahah

The fact that the Wall Street Journal and Washington Post have both published editorials from people who want to convince others that it wasn't an insurrection doesn't mean that the papers support those opinions. As to the "many millions" those same people think that Trump actually won the election, so I don't think I'm going to put any stock in their opinions. An insurrection is a violent uprising against an authority or government. The idiots in question stormed Congress to try and stop them from confirming the winner of the election. With weapons. And people died. The fact that it failed doesn't stop it from having been an insurrection. And if it isn't punished then it will just have been a practice run.

Though I do agree that it is unlikely that Trump will ever actually have to pay for his crimes. The justice system in the US is stacked very much in favour of the rich and/or powerful.

Looks like ye will have to save the mountains of popcorn for another day.

Both of those publications publish far right editorials all of the time.

The 6 January insurrection was literally an attempt to stop the duly elected President from being able to take office. That is what the people who were doing it said at the time that they were doing it. They were there to stop Congress from declaring Biden the winner. Trying to pretend after the fact that it was "just a protest" is laughable.

You've literally posted opinion pieces and delivered them as fact. People have been charged and convicted for sedition, all the rest is moot

And you are welcome to hold your opinion. Your insistence on trying to obscure the basic facts of what actually happened that day denotes an opinion based on ideology rather than fact.

I'll go ahead and stick with the facts. You know, things like them screaming about wanting to kill the sitting Vice President because he wouldn't go against the will of the people and declare Trump the winner. As well as screaming about wanting to kill several other highly placed members of the government. All of whom were in the building they were breaking into at the time. A number of people have already been convicted of Seditious Conspiracy over their participation in the 6 January insurrection.

Well, the far right fringe would like everyone to believe that they were just tourists that might have gotten a little bit out of hand. Which interestingly includes people who on the day were begging Trump to call them off. And now want to pretend like nothing happened.

That's the thing about a failed attempt to overthrow the government. If it doesn't get punished it is just a practice run.

None of them have been convicted of the specific crime called Insurrection. That doesn't change the fact that what happened that day qualifies as an insurrection by the definition of the word. Even the narrowed definition that you posted. Insurrection is a lesser crime than seditious conspiracy. Seditious conspiracy is a serious but lesser counterpart of treason. They weren't convicted of Insurrection because the prosecution decided to go with the bigger charge.

So why did the peaceful protesters choose to break windows to get into this entirely public place where they had a right to be?

Never fear, they're coming. This one is the tip of a very large iceberg for Trump. It'll be a fine day for law and order around the world when this cretin is brought up on charges, and he really has nobody but himself to blame for any of it.

I think is fair to say that the only people who believe they were not insurrectionists are the insurrectionists themselves and their supporters or trump/GQP supporters. Some on this very thread believed they were tourists and getting a guide tour.

So, you say to-may-to, we say to-mah-to. You say tourists or bystanders we say insurrectionists or domestic terrorists. Let's call the whole thing off...

Guess it was another lie from Trump. After all he was the one who said he'd be arrested on Tuesday.
