I mean the congresspeople fascist enough to actually partake in the J6 business don’t really have to be afraid of optics because their voting base will either A: not hear of their crimes due to media bias or B: fully approve of their actions. Optics isn’t an issue for these people. The only times it matters is in the legal sense i.e. don’t admit to crimes, let the persecution work themselves to that trophy.

I think we can be pretty confident now that Trump will be indicted for some extremely serious felonies and the DOJ will probably take at least one good crack at a trial before 2024.

"Getting off" at this point would probably be some secret MAGA chud hanging the jury, which unfortunately is pretty likely.

I think it’s fair to say that anyone still close enough to big Don on the 6th that the committee want to talk to them is kind of a garbagy human being.


Anyone who even entertained the thought of working under the Trump umbrella after his extremely public and outright racist birther campaign should be shunned from society.

This is incidentally how they’re all responding to the idea of secession. They all want to form the CSA again but they all want someone else to take that first step, because they know deep down they’ll get yeeted real quick.

Question: would the person being interrogated have to be the one to verbally plead the fifth or can a lawyer do it for them? If not I’d love to see Trump try and stick to a robotic repeat answer for hours at a time without slipping into crazytown.

The best case scenario (which is absolutely not happening just to be clear) is that Trump actually get “rescued” by his chud base and whisked away for his safety to some undisclosed location. Because remember: no one hates his base more than Trump himself.

I went to high school in Germany and in history class they taught us how antisemitic propaganda was effective due to its simple slogans, whereas flyers posted in defense of our friends the jews were often full-page essays.

I guess what I'm saying is, lol.

I genuinely think that Trump's presence on Twitter was enormously helpful in creating his persona, not the least because (at the time) Twitter only allowed a limited amount of characters, meaning he couldn't go on these wall-of-texts tirades.

I mean this is obviously a pdf. posted on the account but the point stands. Giving him *more* space to talk is actively hurting his messaging.

Can the DOJ dangle a plea deal in front of Trump that basically says, "Drop out, never run for anything again, and this all goes away"?

The optics of this would be catastrophic, and easily one of the dumbest things any DOJ could possibly allow itself to do. It would giftwrap “the weaponisation of the DOJ” talking point to the chuds and they’d have actual meat on that bone for once.

Honestly, I think it was losing the character limit. He could be succinctly awful in 128 characters, but once the limit went away he just became crazy rambling grandpa.

Yep, this is key to his political story I think. If he could ramble on on Twitter back in 2015 as he can now on Truther (or Twitter/X for that matter, he got his account back he’s just not using it, lol) I seriously genuinely doubt he’d pick up enough momentum and media coverage to make it to the White House.

Trump on Truther right now comes across as Mike Lindell and that is not a winning strategy.
