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

Surely he's going to pull shenanigans after awhile. I cannot envision this "meek court Trump" persona lasting long. What will the judge do if he's in contempt? He's an ex-president, he can't be sent to jail. And like you mentioned, it's unlikely he'll have the patience for any of this.

I genuinely have no doubt how all this will unfold, but I do see so much potential for an absolute circus.

The €64000 question is, was Thomas involved? You can't be on the SCOTUS if you are in prison...

As DuploeLabs says, certainly through his wife. Ginni is up to her eyeballs in the effort to keep Trump in office and to subvert democracy. It also paints Thomas's sole dissent in the WH Jan 6 docs case. There was near zero legal basis for his dissent that didn't involve an immense stretch of exec privilege and indeed so big a stretch? That not a single other justice could agree with his dissent.

I actually think at this stage he wants to start an actual Civil War.

Some needs to take his phone of him and give him corner time.

Another Legal Eagle, about the Jan 6 case & indictment

Yeah, that will be about enough of Vivek 😂

Oh…if only. It would be a fitting application of karma that his treasonist attempt to overthrow Capitol Hill in order to hold onto office, would itself forbid him from ever holding it again.

I guess for that to stick, they’d have to find him guilty of insurrection, or giving comfort to insurrectioists. Question is, can that done or is there some legal way for him weasel out of being found guilty of it?

It isn't like making dumb statements is anything new for him, but yeah it is up there.

But you have to take into account who he is issuing/appealing to when making them.

"perfect phone call" is something easy for his minions to remember and parrot

Its just Trump's very limited language skills showing. It suits his base to be fed simple phrases, especially phrases that are so unlikely as to be recognised as his. 'Like they have never seen before' 'like the world has never seen before' and other slight variations, is another one. Equally as asinine and not literally accurate. Just the same as all the childish name calling, his base recognises and relates to it, its easy for them to understand, it doesn't matter if the story or accusation that goes with it is complete rubbish, its like the chorus of a patriotic song, easy to repeat and identify with.

Will you indeed?

When he finds out who flipped on him, we will see if he has the restraint to not attack them.

I anticipate compliance with the directions given will be near impossible for him.

Well, he's basically a very small toddler with attention deficit issues in a 77 year old man's body. So as you said, it's not realistic that he'll be able to keep a lid on his bullshit. I give it a week before the judge is issuing warnings.

Gaetz with another call to arms.. "only through force do we make any change in a corrupt town like Washington, DC" while talking to Trump at a rally.

This is a guy who was caught on camera running like the real coward the last time his ilk used force and stormed the Capital buildings.

MAGA really does want a Civil War.

Where in the footage did Trump, currently facing charges for involvement in previously instigating and fanning the flames of physical force to prevent the results of the election from being certified, denounce what Gaetz (his guest at the event) said and make clear that he does not support such actions?

I think if you stand beside the guy saying those things, while nodding, and then don't say anything to the contrary, it's pretty reasonable to suggest he endorses the message even if he didn't say it himself.
