    This is interesting. Trump wants riots if he is arrested, but supporters not keen.

    Maybe all the J6 rioters being jailed is proving a bit of a deterrence, even to the culty knuckleheads who might have pitched up with the AK-47s previously. Must admit, even I'm surprised how sparse they've been so far.

    I think they've been struggling mastering 1-D chess, not unlike when they persuaded Republicans that the 2020 election was going to be rigged, so loads of them (apparently) didn't vote at all.

    AK-47s? These are True Patriots, they’re not going on a rampage using Commie equipment. AR15s surely?

    Well, at least Johnson didn't tweet something like this about Harriet Harman... jeepers!

    Well this is an odd chart topping record. I took to YouTube to make sure it wasn't a Metallica cover (it isn't, it's just very rubbish)

    Lordy knows where this ends up, but it cheers me up seeing Trump lose his mind over this, and it's only just started.

    From the BBC

    Former porn star Stormy Daniels has described being afraid of violent supporters of former US President Donald Trump, but says she isn't scared of Trump himself, The Times reports.

    In an interview with the newspaper, just published in London, Daniels says she's hesitant to say she's frightened because "it kind of encourages the sharks".

    However, she adds that "it's especially scary because Trump himself is inciting violence".

    The Times notes she was speaking from an "undisclosed location" in the US.

    When it comes to the former president and the prospect of facing him in court, she says "there's no way he could be scarier with his clothes on".

    What intrigues me is that this current case involving Stormy D was brought first when surely, a much more significant case could be brought against Trump.
    If he wriggles out of this one, does that set the tone for all the other charges?
    Which one of the charges is most likely to stick?

    Stormy D vs Sunny D is the headline I’d go with.

    Really interesting that one of Trump’s most immediate legacies is the collapse of 3 mid tier US banks.

    Reality meeting Right Wing Guff on deregulation, desupervision and decriminalisation.

    Basically they loosened the regulatory burden and rules on various banking activities for smaller banks and indeed, poof, the blew up at the fist major hurdle.

    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    it's just the first to get to this stage, these things aren't coordinated, each crime is separate - shows the claims of some conspiracy to get him are nonsense, if there were such a conspiracy it'd be better planned

    he's a long term fraudster and business failure, with decades' of experience using daddy's and other peoples' money to buy himself out of trouble and venal lawyers to drain his accusers' funds until they give up

    amazing that he's lasted so long without being banged up, goes to show there're a lot of suckers out there

    to paraphrase the fat orange liar... lock him up, lock him up, lock him up

    Choosing the jury might be interesting, as I don't think there's anyone in NY who doesn't hate him, given his reputation over several decades.

    yes, otherwise during his years in office trump would have been able to use his swarm of political appointees, including all those judges etc. to prosecute hillary clinton, hunter biden etc., but he couldn't

    the system is robust enough to ride out a few years, though given two terms it might be an another matter

    while he was in office he was immune, once he was out things could start, it takes a while, now cases are coming to the point they are tested

    i'm not saying some involved won't derive personal enjoyment from nailing him, but that's irrelevant, the law is the law, they should follow the process, no exemptions for left or right, rich or poor, not even orange with a bad comb over

    there're plenty on the right that would happily see him behind bars, most won't say it in public, it's to their advantage to join the trump bandwagon chanting 'witchhunt' as get's them coverage from fox et alia and brownie points with trump's base for election time

    You have to smile, the paranoia from tin hat conspiracy theorists about infiltration by law enforcement. Protest legally and you have nothing to worry about. Mind you that’s not as funny as trump taking the oath and being ripped apart by the DA. Is the trial televised?

    I’ll be surprised due to the comments trump has made about the DA and judge hearing his case on Tuesday the judge will issue a restraining order regarding trump from making public comments about the case.

    It seems trump,is becoming increasingly irrational and there’s still the Georgia investigation, conspiracy on the insurrection and the top secret docs he swore he’d returned, all,of which carry more legal jeopardy than the current indictment. And if he thinks his behaviour will shape a decision to prosecute, he’s even more unhinged than previously thought.

    The guy is toast, he just doesn’t realise it yet.

    There was the priceless snippet of Hannity trying to get Trump to deny he'd take secret documents, and Trump saying, nope, that's just what he would do. The guy's a moron.

    The biggest problem is that none of it really matters. Unless he ends up being behind bars during the 2024 Presidential Election, he could still end up elected. Simply because the founders didn't think to exclude convicted duckwits from running for President.

    Unless he's also found guilty for the Capitol Riots. That could prove more of an issue.

    Any news on what the actual charges are yet? I find the US legal system baffling to be honest with the split between State and Federal courts, District Attorneys and US Attorneys. If he gets found guilty of whatever is put in front of him presumably he can appeal it and eventually it will fall in front of a Judge that he appointed.

    Yeah, look at skigate brought against Gwyneth Paltrow.

    I do think making Trump the marter is just going to gain him more support from freedom lovers in America as Ed Balls 'Trumpland' demonstrated.

    It'll be interesting if the judge can resist putting a gag order on Trump, as Trump is going to utterly lose his mind over this. Hahahaha.
