This is why we should never “ignore” or turn away from #Trump. He’s a real and present danger. (That doesn’t mean we should post his rants, regurgitate his words without context and major pushback. It only means don’t pretend this isn’t happening. Confront it and end it.)
2-parter.

2/ Via Andrew Weissmann:
This is PRECISELY why a gag order is needed - when you joke about a near-fatal violent attack. Normalizing criminal conduct on 1/6, on DA Alvin Bragg and many others. Simultaneously denying any responsibility for the same.
Trump: We had no terror during my administration. The only terror we had was Nancy Pelosi. Crazed lunatic. What the hell was going on with her husband? Let’s not ask. She had a wall around her house. *laughs* It didn’t work very well.
Trump has billionaires backing him.
Bernie Marcus recently announced his support. He likes what Trump says.

Bernard Marcus, the billionaire co-founder of Home Depot Inc. and a Republican megadonor, announced he’s backing Donald Trump for president, pointing to the likelihood that the GOP frontrunner will win the party’s nomination.
And so do people in our friends and family groups. They shouldn't be treated as quirky or understandably bamboozled. They are actively supporting harm to innocent people.
Is he doing this on purpose to force judges to throw him in jail? On first look it sure seems that way.... but it's Fulton County Inmate P01135809 and there's no way, for ANY cause or effect he would allow himself to be put in a cell in an orange jumpsuit"
Which is what I've been thinking... what's his game?
Sure, he's a freaking moron but doesn't he know what might happen?
If he gets jailed he can fundraise and pay bills like crazy off it but he'll be in a jail cell
@kbsez You answered your own question.
I doubt he WANTS to be thrown in jail, but his game is power and money. And pardoning himself.
I guess I'm looking for some reasoning in batshit madness....
I should should have said RATIONAL.... because I just can't help but think there's some plan/idea behind this in his mind.
@kbsez @GottaLaff
I see no downside to the multiply-indicted twice-impeached racist misogynist fascist idiot mobster going to jail.
- Sure, his retail fundraising would increase. But he mostly seems to be embezzling fundraising paid directly to him. If it goes into his pockets, it's more money for civil forfeiture to seize later.
- His billionaire wholesale donors spend money based on potential returns. If they see a candidate as hopeless, they'll spend money elsewhere.
- He can't issue threats as readily from behind bars.
- He can't host campaign rallies from behind bars, except through proxies.
@FrankConniff
NY Times headline in 1936:
Hitler Takes Crowd On A Wacky Ride In Latest Nuremberg Speech.
@GottaLaff The other part, other than what is actually said etc, is the quiet of it all.
The media/public/political establishment either doesn't see this or actively wants it and is slow walking everyone one to the end zone.
It's the screaming and no sound coming out or everyone trying their hardest to not hear you that kills.
Bet he does the posing in the mirror…
His Hitler obsession was uncovered by Vanity Fair, September 1990.

@GottaLaff this feels thinly-veiled to me.
I'm pretty sure that he didn't write the speech himself. Could this be intentional?
