This was a planned coup from tRump’s first tweets in March or April that he would accept no other results than winning. The Mango Monster is absolutely the most dangerous threat the Republic has ever faced.
Just a preview of what tRump and his Brownshirts will be trying from Election Day onward, November, 2024. Brace yourselves, people, it will be far more uglier than 2020.
He is the front man for a part of the American polity who believe that they alone are fit to rule, are the 'real' Americans, and should take matters into their own hands to guarantee that what they/he believe(s) becomes fact.
Agreed. Stone add a prison tat of Trump on his lower back (right above his rump.
I remember seeing some excerpts from "A Storm Foretold" about Roger Stone. One scene showed him seeing the J6 riot on TV. And he immediately packed up with his people to get of DC.
Awww... the ultimate "bro" gesture from Stone - right below his idol, Richard M. Nixon - a similar criminal except Nixon understood that if you get caught, you're done. A lesson TFFG will only learn when the prison doors slam shut behind him.
WOW! I only have one fear: "A Trump Campaign employee had exchanged text messages WITH AN ATTORNEY" Like the good mob boss that he is, he never directly tells anyone to commit a crime. I hope he can't wriggle out of this.
"“If an election is worth winning, then there is someone willing to steal it,” Roman wrote in one introductory post, unintentionally foreshadowing his activity for Trump."
Is amazing how we onlookers continually may think we have heard the whole story, only to find out more tentacles went out than previously thought.
Trump really truly went all out and in all directions, to subvert democracy and to self coup, and his campaign to do so clearly predated the election itself.
Turtles all the way down, and no doubt more more more to be uncovered still. Astonishing and terrifying and wow.
Only good thing is how repellent Trumpian and its results are to voters since 2018. It would be scarier if it wasn’t.
Yes, 2024 is going to be another hard slog, but at least democracy is still here for another hard push in its direction.
There are lots of things that are "bad news for trump." We need that bad news to become a guilty verdict. Because right now Lindsey Graham is saying that trump's talk of being a dictator is "just a joke."
It amazes me that anything that comes out of Senator Two-Face Graham’s mouth is still worthy of reporting on. As slime-ball apologist and appeaser in-chief, one has come to expect those kinds of comments from Graham.
(1) The fact that some Trump/Campaign rep, possibly Mr. Roman, organized a riot in Detroit, is no surprise. It will definitely strengthen Smith's "intent" argument.
(2) However, I'm finding it increasingly difficult to focus on yet more detailed evidence against Trump, when the US Government is paralyzed by the overt, intentional MAGA House members refusal to legislate, i.e. compromise. Yesterday, Senator John Cornyn made MAGA's strategy clear: "I support funding for Ukraine, I support funding for Israel. but this is an opportunity for us to force the Biden administration to do what they should have been doing all along."
(3) Doubtless loud cheers could be heard in Beijing, Moscow and Budapest.
Just before I read deeper in your piece, Jay, I turned to my husband and said "Just like the hanging chad's recount in Florida, where well-dressed young men (I forgot the reference "Brooks Brothers) were banging against the glass doors, trying to disrupt the count.") Wasn't Sandra Day O'Connor somehow influenced by that dirty trick? I forget...
Sadly, she was though perhaps not by that specific dirty trick.
From Wikipedia: "Bush v. Gore, 531 U.S. 98 (2000), O'Connor joined with four other justices on December 12, 2000, to rule on the Bush v. Gore case that ceased challenges to the results of the 2000 presidential election (ruling to stop the ongoing Florida election recount and to allow no further recounts). This case effectively ended Al Gore's hopes to become president. Some legal scholars have argued that she should have recused herself from this case, citing several reports that she became upset when the media initially announced that Gore had won Florida, with her husband explaining that they would have to wait another four years before retiring to Arizona.[68] O'Connor expressed surprise that the decision became controversial.[69] Some people in Washington stopped shaking her hand after the decision, and Arthur Miller confronted her about it at the Kennedy Center.[69]"
My husband recalls a story that someone overheard O'Connor walking into dinner (restaurant? Someone's home?) that reflected her negative thinking about the presidential race - although I forget how my hubs put it. Whenever it was that he told me that story, I felt like all my faith in the Supreme Court had been stripped away. That, in fact, justices could have motives other than following precedent and the Constitution. I have had little faith ever since. And now?! With 3 (!!!) appointees from whatever right wing association that told tfg what to do, I have been bereft. I talk often about moving out of country, but I am no longer financially able. 😔
It seems by now that the prosecution has amassed mountains of evidence, binders of evidence that loom over Romney's binder like a collosus, each bullet point spelling trouble for L'Orange...
Isn't there sufficient material 100 times over- the needle should be well into the red zone....let's spend that evidentiary capital....

Absolutely correct!
Isn’t it crazy that such a slippery, unintelligent, blowfish has garnered this amount of power...???
He is the front man for a part of the American polity who believe that they alone are fit to rule, are the 'real' Americans, and should take matters into their own hands to guarantee that what they/he believe(s) becomes fact.
It is concerning to me how quiet Roger Stone has been. If anyone belongs in prison, along with tfg, it is Stone.
Well, and Meadows, and... yet so many are still walking about making threats, spreading lies, and just being generally a blight.
Him and Bannon. Bannon's podcast is called "The War Room." I mean, he's blatantly wearing the insurrection on his sleeve.
He's even been convicted and sentenced, and he's still loose!
Agreed. Stone add a prison tat of Trump on his lower back (right above his rump.

The crime fraud exception would apply here, I’m pretty sure.
With tRump "crime-fraud" is not the exception, it's the rule, so to speak.
We are soon to be at the FIND OUT part of the story!
I certainly hope so!
Fingers, toes, arms, legs crossed!
That reminded me of the ancient Paul Harvey radio broadcasts my mom used to listen to...
"And now, for the REST of the story." Or something like that.
Used to listen to him, too. “Now you know…the rest of the story,
That's it, lol thanks
….”and now you know the rest of the story “….(we use to listen religiously)
Bingo!
We hope.
Right??
"“If an election is worth winning, then there is someone willing to steal it,” Roman wrote in one introductory post, unintentionally foreshadowing his activity for Trump."
Every accusation is a confession.
Every. Single. One.

He’s a pimple on the ass of Dixie.
Yes, yes he is.
You are not wrong!

When TFG tells a "joke" we know it isn't!
He could not tell a real joke.

Coryn seems to forget that the Constitution delegates
CONGRESS, not the President with Immigration reform and laws. The President just signs/makes
the laws legal or vetoes them. He can also send them
back to the House and Senate for further work.
It's their job, we the people
pay them to do, to bring about fair and equitable
Immigration reform. Too bad
we can't withhold their pay
and refuse to allow them to
adjourn, until they do their
jobs.
Hi Chris...is this for me Victoria or another poster?
Can we all start a GoFundMe campaign and buy Jack Smith a hellaciously wonderful holiday gift?
He would probably have to return it!
Jay, Is it appropriate to send Jack Smith postcards to cheer on him and his staff? Would they go c/o DOJ?
Sure - but AFTER he gets a conviction. Don't want to jinx anything...

Woah. Thanks for tying this all together, Jay!
Ooo, the plot thickens! I have trusted Jack Smith all along. Going to make popcorn and keep watching.👍
Oh wow. The plot thickens! Every day it thickens.

Soon!
I bet he had someone on every swing state doing this.
The swing state AGs are starting to draw the ropes in.
You know.... Trump keeps threatening riots if he is arrested and imprisoned. All things considered, I am convinced there will be riots if he is not.
