Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Not really, because he's not in power this time.
He can't hold a protest in DC without approval and given how 1/6 turned out, nobody will give him approval if he loses.
I mean, he could tweet about how people should show up anyway. I don't know if it would be effective or not, but knowing how rabid his fans are, it could lead to something. This is just more of his plausible deniablitity shtick. "Oh, a juror I don't like very much lives here. It sure would be a shame if a bunch of folks harassed or threatened them into doing what I want"
Dude lost 4 years ago and still has a fanatical base that swears it didn't happen.
Last time Trump ensured that police and so on couldn't prepare. Plus denied any assistance on the day. That alone is a huge difference.
I hope so. The alternative is they show up armed this time.
Yeah, and then you get stopped and arrested on gun charges before you even get there.
It might be good if something like that were to happen - if thousands and thousands of them were to get arrested on the way to some dumb insurrection that donnie egged on long before they are able to get anyone killed. Get more of them in the prison system to help cripple their movement.
Unfortunately, last time a lot them were simply allowed to go home.
Yes and then where hunted down and arrested later on. 600+ convictions is not nothing.
True. I wonder how many they missed, but yes.
It's interesting to note the difference between the way an insurrection is treated vs. the way someone selling loose cigarettes...
I believe there is a whole website dedicated to jan6 people that the FBI would like to talk to.
So if you have time, scroll there and if you know one of the people, the FBI has a contact us form.

Well over 500 people still on the list. That including the 600+ convictions means over a thousand people wanted. I would imagine that half these peoe could be found if ran through a dmv database check.
And this time around he can’t prevent deployment of the national guard
