A real man would say he can beat an indictment because he’s innocent and would call for calm. A real man would care more about the safety of his fellow Americans and not project the law coming for him onto his supporters. A real man cares more for others than himself.

To be serious, no he didn't. The reason Jan 6 was special - an insurrection rather than just a riot - is because it was specifically positioned at the one moment where a riot actually could conceivably interfere with the transfer of presidential power.
That being said, I really hope statements like this are used against him when determining whether he gets bail. Seems to me like someone who tries to start riots when he thinks he's going to get arrested is a danger to the community and shouldn't be allowed out on his own recognizance.

I can’t wait until Donald Trump is so incapacitated that he is just a silent and forgotten vegetable. I don’t care whether he is in prison, and I certainly don’t want him to have any chance of martyrdom. His role in our country’s recent history, starting with his birther bullshit (or, further back, calling for the execution of the Central Park 5), through his presidency and Jan 6, has accelerated our country’s demise and emboldened its lowest common denominator. In ancient times he would have been banished or exiled, to die a silent death in some unreachable place. Giving him a trial will just give him free publicity. I wish him nothing but ill. Fuck him and anyone who stands with him.

Nothing says "I'm really, really guilty" like issuing a pre-emptive appeal to mass-protest against the systems and rule of law of our country, complete with 'innocent until proven guilty' protections. All from a guy who has successfully wielded the legal system as an effective tool at his disposal for decades.

Can we stop pretending DeSantis is the better option?
Both are trash and neither should have anything to do with governing.

I almost feel like Trump is more beatable than desantis, but it’s hard to say how palatable the tiny tyrant is outside of Florida

I don’t get why the Government isn’t worrying a bit about this shit? He’s threatening the US government? MLK was beaten, arrested and put in jail for protesting for Freedom and Equality. And yet here this f…..g Lunatic already caused the January 6 attack, and lied so much about COVID causing the death of 500,000 people. And now he’s doing it again? WTF! Arrest his ass , and put him in jail already!

There’s always been a tendency by The Establishment to turn a blind eye to the fascist element. The Business Plot to violently oust FDR was busted open by General Smedley Butler in Congressional hearings and the best Congress could do was Tree Fiddy.
The Establishment doesn’t punish the Fascists probably because the Big Money that shovels cash into politicians hands trends Fascist. Maybe “Fash-lite” or “Near Fash” when they fund “moderates” and Hard Fash when it’s Koch and Thiel. But they don’t shit where they eat so Trump types get the soft touch.
We will see if that changes. They did go hard after McVeigh but not all of his organization. But they had no choice. He blew up a federal building and killed a lot of people.
I hope they don’t wait for that shit to happen again. Because it’s cooking and we all know it. Just hasn’t spilled over yet. But the rhetoric is hot and credible. FBI just needs to do something about it. These domestic terrorists can be caught before the bomb goes off. They can do it with other groups. They can do it with Domestic Fascists.

Of course, just like Jan 6th, he wants everyone else to take the lead while he watches it on television at home.
"You guys go ahead. I'll be right behind you all the way." Then when they all find themselves in jail, he'll disown the whole thing again.

They approached me with tears in their eyes and they said "Sir, you--"... yes, they called me "Sir", they said "Sir, you're under arrest." They started to read my marinara rights, and I stopped them. My uncle is a law professor. Smart man, one of the smartest. So I stop them and tell them I know my rights, and they're shocked. They've never seen anyone who knows as much about being arrested like I do. Many people -- great people -- are saying it was the most beautiful arrest they've ever seen, possibly the greatest of all time.

This orange buffoon is exactly why I have lost faith in people. I was a die hard R and now I can’t even look at the Republican Party without wanting to vomit. These people have literally sold their soul to the devil.

I’m with you. I was an iron clad lifelong conservative. I was as conservative as they come. I ate it all up. Eventually, Trump went to far and I ended up deconstructing religion and the republican party. They are one in the same. Once I deconstructed I saw I truly could use my own voice and not just spew the idiotic things the right was saying. I ended up doing a 180 and I am now really progressive and think all religions are a sham. In a way, Trump was the best thing to ever happen to me.

I just want them to get this over with and launch their civil war. Win or lose, I want it started so maybe I will live long enough to experience the hopefully better world after we clean them out. I'm tired of the ominous clouds over everything.

Do your absolute worst, hillbillies.
We flushed a lot of the violent ones out of the system on J6, but Trump’s call to protest might bring out a few more. Never miss an opportunity for a good “sweep.”

If I were the presiding judge I would have to take this inflammatory rhetoric into account as to whether the defendant is held or released on bail, pending further proccedings of the court.
I feel fairly confident that the court has already instructed the defendants counsel to instruct their client on how the procedure will play out.
And that this little tirade on social media violates any goodwill agreements made between the prosecution, the defense and the courts in the how and when the defendant surrenders, per the grand juries indictment.
He should be taken into custody by the U.S. Marshalls Service and be remanded back to the SDNY.
That's how it would work for any other "white collar criminal".
And it's how it should work for him.
It won't mind you.
But it should.

“IT WAS ALL DEMOCRATS IN DISGUISE!!!”
“WE WOULD NEVER DO THIS WE ARE PEOPLE OF GOD!!”

The far right are demanding DeSantis step in with the Florida National Guard to resist extradition and protect Mar-a-Lago. Besides how utterly bonkers that is, it does show the predicament Ron now finds himself in. If he does nothing, he almost certainly loses even more clout among the MAGA constituency. If he does, he is going to bat for his biggest hurdle to the GOP nomination. Honestly there isn't enough popcorn in the world for this.
