Tapes suggest Trump knew the insurrection was coming, but carefully avoided having his fingerprints on the planning

    No. Trump didn’t keep his fingerprints off anything. If you were looking, insiders and moles were leaking the entire plan in real time. Things didn’t get mainstream media documentation, but they were not big secrets.

      Seriously. They hyped it up on social media. They went on news broadcasts and bragged about their plans, all before the act on Jan 6th. It was all done in broad daylight. If they get away with this shit, nothing matters anymore.

        Yup, I heard about it in advance myself; and I stay far away from those types of groups.

          I guess it’s a good thing he can’t stop breaking the law and has plenty of other charges coming down.

          I think the only thing, legally, that would prevent him from running is a treason conviction that isn’t under appeal. Which, I think, means has been appealed as high as the courts will allow, and the guilty judgment is upheld.

          While I want this desperately, it would take years. He’d delay as much as possible.

            I dont think anything will stop him from running besides the grip of grim death

              And so far, Death has been like, “Eww, he has cooties. I don’t want him.”

      February, 2019:

      Michael Cohen, the man who infamously said he would take a bullet for Donald Trump, has raised the spectre of political chaos and even violence if the man he once served failed to win re-election in 2020, telling Congress he feared there would never be a “peaceful transition of power”.

        Trump was saying the 2016 election was fake because he didn’t win the popular vote. It had been set up since at least then.

    Roger Stone is the guy I want to see go down. He emanates the most evil of all these psychopaths.

    Fuck the American mafia. Break the bosses down to their knees then tap their heads from behind. (Figuratively.)
