Supposedly they have NEVER played music under Trump’s speech before. Music to his entrance and his exit, yes, but not during the speech. And of course the music they chose was a tune identical to a Q-cult tune. And the audience did the Sieg Heil gesture immediately-------making for a photo to (Trump hoped) make Ron _ **jealous jealous jealous** _!!!1!!! ---

This has the potential for some good Schadenfreude. It’s not just Trump who could be in trouble though, right? > ---

> [@not\_what\_you\_d\_expect](#): > > This has the potential for some good Schadenfreude. > It’s not just Trump who could be in trouble though, right? Unlikely to be Donald directly. If this is about progressing a prosecution, most likely target is Trump Org the business itself. I doubt she’d make a special announcement about Eric. Apart from it being - you know - Eric, they would just go straight to him to escort him away for a little “chat” rather than grandstanding about it. ---

Even if a parody or joke site: RINOs ALL OF THEM!!! SAD. DEEP STATE! SOROS! BLM! ANTIFA! FRAUD FRAUD FRAUD FRAUD WAAAAAAH! “I’ll primary them all (primaries are mostly past), I don’t care. See you in court. Hang Pence.” On a lighter note, I’m sure Don the Con will take this rebuke seriously and upon self-reflection, realize that he was wrong and profusely apologize to the FBI. ---

Here it is on [senate.gov](http://senate.gov): [https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/senate-resolution/775](https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/senate-resolution/775) Note that it doesn’t condemn Trump specifically - it condemns threats of violence against FBI agents in regarding the search of Trump’s property. And the site states “Submitted in the Senate, considered, and agreed to without amendment and with a preamble by Unanimous Consent”. I don’t know what Unanimous Consent is, but it doesn’t sound like a roll call vote or anything like that - if you look at the page listing the daily floor activity: > **[U.S. Senate: Recent Floor Activity](https://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/floor_activity/floor_activity.htm)** > > \_Recent Floor Activity Lots of things pass by Unanimous Consent, like making Sep. 17-24 “National Estuaries Week”.
