    As much as I’d love to see it, jailing him for contempt would play right into their plan. He wouldn’t see 24hr of cell time before his fanatic base would be whipped into violence, painted as political persecution of the GOP (defacto) nominee

    It’s all paper thin excuses to anyone with critical thinking, but we know it’d be a successful ploy.

      They already do violence who cares. Every mass shooting is almost always a Trump supporter.

      What the fuck is the national guard for then? It’s the correct and legal punishment, and it’s a matter of national security. These concepts are not conflicting.

      I’m prepared to defend myself, my family and my home. Ever fought a bully? They fucking cave with the quickness.

      One silly bitch got shot through the neck and they scrambled out of that part of the Capitol.

      I’m not brave, but if they think I’m harmless, they are free to test that assumption.

      Fuck em. They already sent their best on Jan 6. I’m not impressed. The National Guard can steamroll them and the cops if the cops turn traitor.

      1. It doesn’t even need to be 24 hours. I suspect giving him even a 1-hour time-out would be plenty.

      2. I couldn’t care less what The Base thinks of it.

        That’s a luxury only afforded to spectators.
