Rules for us (incl. #TFG) & rules for you. Don't cross that line or Republicans will make you pay the price. SCJ Alito, & likely, all the GOP SCJs, would rule accordingly:
"Just asked Speaker Johnson if Hunter Biden’s conviction undercuts the GOP narrative that there's a two-tiered justice system designed to hurt Republicans.
“It doesn’t,” he said. “Every case is different. And clearly the evidence was overwhelming here. I don’t think that’s the case in the Trump trials.”
-M Raju
Republican Senators & Reps & the DOJ have allowed #TFG, through his enablers & directly from him, to operate as a criminal enterprise. They conduct business as mobsters:
"Yesterday, Michael Fanone — the former police officer who was nearly killed by Trump rioters who actually believed the former president's lies about the 2020 election — called Trump an "authoritarian" with "a violence fetish."
Hours later, his mom was swatted."
-R Reilly
#TFG has used mob tactics for >50 yrs. Republicans now employ them: MSM is still ignoring the threats.
OH GOP SOC says he will keep Pres Biden off the Nov election unless the DNC moves its convention up to early Aug. So when it came to Trump being barred from ballot by way of the #14A the GOP went ballistic but now the Ohio GOP is going to do this & nothing!
-D Obeidallah
Biden could face challenges getting on OH gen. ballot.
Where is the Justice Dept? These threats are serious & MOC are inciting them:
Rep Becca Balint: "Witnesses that have appeared before this committee (Judiciary, run by CHM Jim Jordan) have testified that House Republicans have spread dangerous conspiracy theories about them, and it has led to threats against their families and against them. Regular people, regular Americans."
#TFG /allies have taken threats to a new🚨level:
A WI SC judge says the public must be made aware of harassment faced by officials: "We're at a moment of time where our democracy literally is on the line -have to figure out if we're just going to turn it over to a bunch of insurrectionists who think it's... OK to use violence & intimidation to get the rulings that they want." In recent years a harassment campaign against public officials & insts.⬆️common-.

"We are at a moment of time where our democracy literally is on the line," Karofsky told The Washington Post about the wave of threats toward institutions.
Republicans' mob rule has escalated threats:
Several state Capitols evacuated after bomb threats
The state Capitol complexes in Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, Montana and Michigan were evacuated Wednesday after bomb threats were made, officials said.
Republicans' mob rule:
Threats against public officials have risen, 83% of Americans are now concerned about risks of pol violence -coming from across the pol spectrum *most -emanate from #MAGA/#TFG.
TFG’s followers have created a situation where challenging him carries not only pol risks but also personal ones. Elected officials who dare defy TFG face serious threats to their well-being/families -R officials -changing the way they behave bc they fear it.

Republicans are self-serving mobsters, use threats, extortion, revenge... like #TFG.
"A McCarthy critic told Axios last month that the former speaker will likely use millions in PAC funds to meddle in the races of his GOP foes.
Since his short-lived speakership ended in Oct, McCarthy has repeatedly taken aim at the 8 Rs who voted to oust him. He's known as a master fundraiser, called himself a "free agent" who's now able to endorse primary candidates.

Bullying, death threats, strong arming...
"Some Jordan holdouts are refusing to meet with Jordan or take his calls, sources tell me — a sign of the uphill climb Jordan faces in winning 217.
One of the Republicans who voted against Jordan had to have a sheriff stationed at their daughter’s school because of threats." -Melanie Zanona
GOP MOC use mob tactics, #TFG: #J6:
"When one senator, a member of leadership, said he was leaning toward voting to convict, the others urged him to reconsider. You can’t do that, Romney recalled someone saying. Think of your personal safety... of your children. The senator eventually decided they were right."
If the R MOC hadn't been threatened, TFG may have been convicted, changing everything.
#MAGA Rs are normalizing violent threats:
