  Remember it's okay for a supreme court justices wife to be a literal traitor, but it's not okay for wives of government officials to have private political beliefs. They truly can't understand a world in which a wife does not just submit to her husband and take on all of his beliefs and demeanors.
context: It must be really sad to be such a pathetic, worthless piece of shit. >
  
  What do you think is worse being a sad pathetic worthless piece of shit or those believing and following him? >
  
  He’s just a garden variety lunatic with money and a microphone. His followers are more dangerous. >
  
  Donny Jones, cult leader of The Peoples Maga Church. >
  
  Nothing ever happens to him.... >
  
  Nothing ever happens to him because he goes right up to the line but has others cross it on his behalf, like Cohen, Weisselberg or Manafort. Imagine being 70 something Weisselberg and sitting in Rikers for 5mos because of Trump. WTF >
  
  Weisselberg is probably still on the payroll which reeks of hush money, bribery or blackmail. >
  
  Fall Guy. That was his job all along, and he was or will be handsomely rewarded for doing a stellar job. >
  
  Maybe Trump will give him cufflinks. >
  
  Thanks for the reminder. It epitomizes how fake he is. >
  
  Isn't the special  counsel a war crimes  prosecuter ... like Trump"s whining  would  worry him. >
  
  Smith looks like the kind of guy who’ll take this threat at face value.  Also looks the kind of guy who’d do his own wet work. >
  
  The dude looks positively terrifying, seriously. >
  
  Had to look it up and yep this guy is not to be fucked with. >
  
  Coach Beard’s evil twin. >
  
  [You sure he’s not in the Wagners Group?] >
  
  I just don’t ever see this working out in his favor. >
  
  It's about raising the cost of prosecuting him, keeping the grift going to forestall a financial reckoning, and making sure a MAGA juror is there to save him when this inevitably goes to trial.
  By keeping in the headlines and feeding a steady stream of vitriol to his supporters, he keeps them agitated and ready to defend him.
  That gives him leverage, because to prosecute him is literally to invite violence should he order his supporters to take that step. I think it's this, plus the reality that he might release classified info, that has prevented charges so far.
  And at the end of the day, Trump's approach increases the chance that he can get a hung jury via a line juror that is a true believer who refuses to convict no matter what he is charged with or what evidence is presented. >
  
  
  It's about raising the cost of prosecuting him,
  
  It's also about getting his cult to threaten the special counsel and his family so much, he might decide It's not safe to stay on the case or to find Trump guilty >
  
  The Special Prosecutor is a War Crimes Prosecutor who takes down dictators after they flee their countries. The guy probably has a bingo card of threats he runs for each suspect now. >
  
  Yeah I'd be shocked if Smith is worried about that. Plenty of other reasons this could go nowhere but that isn't one of them >
  
  In 2016, the Electoral College gave us the worst of us to serve in the highest office in the land. He has caused so much trauma. I lost my entire family to his cult.
  Edited: A word >
  
  He truly has brought out the worst in so many people.  I too have family that now won't talk to each other because of him and how 1/2 feel he's nuts and the other 1/2 worship him over everything else. One cousin in fact said back in 2020 that they believed everything Trump says because he would not lie and if anyone disagreed then don't ever speak to her again.  Its insane. >
  
  I do in-home estimates for my dealership. The corporate sales trainer was here running estimates with me. He had a rental car with CA plates. He met me at this customer's house because it was easier than meeting at the office, so he had his rental car. She sees his CA plate and says she doesn't do business with liberals from CA. She is a moron, just one of the stupidest human beings I have ever met. I didn't sell her anything, she was too cheap to buy the good stuff. >
  
  You should tell her that there are more registered Republicans in California than there are people living in South Carolina. >
  
  Their feelings don't care about facts. Isn't that along the lines of what they love to say. >
  
  It's what they used to say, I haven't heard them say that for a few years because all facts aren't on their side.
