A federal grand jury indicted an Alabama man for allegedly threatening the sheriff and district attorney in Fulton County, Ga., over their involvement in former President Trump’s criminal case.

The indictment, unsealed on Monday, charges Arthur Ray Hanson, II, 59, with two counts of transmitting interstate threats. Prosecutors say he left voicemails on Aug. 6 threatening the officials.

The alleged calls came days before Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis (D) indicted Trump and 18 others in a sprawling racketeering case, accusing them of engaging in a conspiracy to keep Trump in power following the 2020 election. It is one of four criminal indictments Trump faces. He has denied any wrongdoing and pleaded not guilty to all the charges.

“When you charge Trump on that fourth indictment, anytime you’re alone, be looking over your shoulder,” Hanson said, according to court filings.

    It’s fascinating, sad, and terrifying that people are so dedicated to a man who is obviously, to anyone outside the cult, a lying grifter and con man.

        This was years ago and from a very surface level class, but I think historically Jesus never wanted a church in his name. It was Peter who used Jesus’s martyrdom to spread what was a political message at the time.

        It has since snowballed a little.

          We can’t be sure, honestly. There’s not many (or any) third-party writers who were contemporaries of Jesus who wrote about him. Even if we’re generous, the earliest NT writings were penned some 40 years after Jesus died (more than enough time for people to misremember or fabricate memories of events).

          It seems probable to me that the historical Jesus probably had no designs for a church, since he regularly talked about how some of the Apostles wouldn’t die before the apocalypse. And given that messiah figures were typically political/military leaders who restored Israel’s sovereignty against a ruling nation, it seems likely that the Apostles didn’t see that as a goal (at first) either.

        Jesus is the greatest. There’s no one better that Jesus. Or better looking—except maybe his father God amiright? His charity? Huge. Sometime they say he’s got big hands. I don’t know. Are these big hands? You tell me. Muhammad, now there’s a good guy. Always knew how to throw a party. He threw the biggest parties. Not as big as Jesus but very big. They always had beautiful ladies and girls and babies. Very kind, you know, they’ll sit on your lap. Good girls. Quality stock.

        None of his “miracles” were even original. People had been doing magic tricks like turning water into wine and walking on water and rising from the dead. The loaves and fishes is simply sleight of hand.
