  2. The entire GOP seems like a toddler mid tantrum constantly.

  3. Funny how if I threatened to intervene in a free and fair election I’d be in prison. And I’m not even rich or famous.

  4. Yes we’ve known since Jan 7th 2021 that it would happen again.

    I’m still not convinced it won’t happen even if Trump wins. When people settle into a personality of being perpetually angry on behalf of a fat old coastal elite former billionaire it’s tough to change gears.

  5. I bet he’ll try to launch an actual civil war when he loses again. I don’t think it will succeed by any measure but I bet he’ll try 

  7. It’s not happening again. All the Maga idiots that fell for that bullshit are either in jail, too tired from long covid, or have achey joints and can’t climb walls and break windows anymore.

  8. This time around he is a private citizen with no levers or controls of the US Military… and President Biden, is by Trump’s position, totally immune

  9. So, Joe Biden will incite a riot and Kamala Harris will refuse to certify the election and…wait…I’m confused.

  10. Trump also called for massive protests of his trial. *yawn*

  11. All the more reason he shouldn’t be allowed on the ballot at all.

  15. I mean, I’m sure this monumental pox upon the nation would *try*. But it wouldn’t be successful at all.

    The reason the previous one was almost successful was because *he* was in the Oval Office. He sabotaged internal protocols at the Letter Agencies, blocked off multiple state contingents of the National Guard, hamstringed the DC Police, and personally incited the insurrection himself.

    If he thinks any mere *echo* of the same event will occur when Biden is in control of the same enforcement bodies that Trump previously caged up until it was clear that his putsch was faltering, then he’s even more mentally unhealthy than I thought.

    However, I could see a legalistic insurrection attempt from the House with fake electors if the GOP manages to win it. So… Gotta win the House, too.

  16. Wait Biden has Presidential Immunity so he no longer has to leave the WH

  17. The sequel to 1/6 is Plan A for him. There’s no reason to pretend otherwise.

  18. It only got as far as it did because Trump’s goons were in power and prevented the National Guard from going in.

  20. Trash talk while he shivers and farts in a criminal court in NY. Don’t worry Donny warmer criminal court appearances are coming in Georgia and Florida.

  21. Did he threaten an insurrection against the USA again?
    If a normal citizen threatened the government like this, I’m sure the FBI would be knocking on their door and confiscating their personal files.

  22. no because he won’t be sitting in the white house failing to defend the capital

  24. Wait, is this the January 6 that was a peaceful protest? Or the January 6 that was a secret Antifa riot? Or the January 6 that was full of undercover FBI agents? What is MAGA’s story this week?

  25. I don’t think they will wait until congress rubber stamps the electoral college votes. Trump will be raging election night probably before it gets called by the major media companies. If they call it for Biden, he will get worse and worse and worse as the days tick by.

    His trial hasn’t brought much protest at all other than Guliani’s spawn, but the election will probably bring more. His true believers are still around. Some will answer his call to violence, the question is where and how.

    The counting locations are the first target. They were subject to protests in some states last go around. Arizona had a lot of protesters. Just like in Succession, attacks on these locations could fuck with an election.

    The electoral college members for specific states could be another target for violence or intimidation attempts. If it is a close election, a couple faithless electors could flip it and we live in a time where Data Brokers are happy to sell all your info with no questions asked.

    When the electoral college meets to officially cast their state’s votes, there is another avenue for an attack. These meetings usually happen at state houses so there is significant security, but the enemy could be inside the house like that rep in Oregon who [let far right protesters into the building](https://www.npr.org/2021/05/01/992713857/oregon-lawmaker-who-opened-state-capitol-to-far-right-protesters-faces-charges).

    Hopefully, it all results in nothing, but the relevant authorities should prepare for any of those possibilities.

  27. It’s possible, though this time not only Babbitt would learn the taste of lead

  29. He might *try*, but Pres Biden will still be in control of the federal government and can respond appropriately.

  30. The wannabes need to know that this time the POTUS will not take 4hrs before deploying the National Guard

  31. There’s a different occupant in the White House, doubt if there will be any hesitation in calling on various agencies putting it down harshly next time.

  32. I mean, a key reason January 6 happened was because Trump decapitated the defense department and put in sycophants who crippled the law enforcement response.

    Moreover, I promise you that this time, the Capitol is going to be locked all the way down.

  33. Does he sleep at all? he sure doesn’t look like he does. Those are bruises under his eyes.

  34. I think Donald is issuing a lot of hot air and there is not much indication his base will go to war for him when he loses. Oh, I’m sure there will be some violence, but nothing on the scale of J6. Everyone willing to go to jail for Trump is in jail.

  35. Only difference is that this time the current administration will call in the National Guard.

  36. Yeah, but this time the national guard won’t be hamstrung. Won’t that be interesting.

  37. “I’m innocent of the crime of insurrection, but I’ll do it again if I lose.”

  38. It’s no hint, it’s a call to arms. It’s the ‘standby and stand back’ of 2024.

  39. Nothing a couple snipers can’t handle tbh 🤷🏻‍♂️

  40. The difference is the President will be the one they try to remove, not install. That’s a key fucking difference that too many of these idiots keep forgetting.

    If these fascist dicks think they’ll enjoy the benefit of a commander in chief who won’t call up the National Guard A 2ND FUCKING TIME, then let them see what happens.

    I’m sick of our country being held hostage by the idle threats of the fattest fucking terrorists who ever congealed on the world’s stage.
