I’m surprised we’ve made it this far in the thread without “tears in his eyes.” Unless I missed it. ---

I’m hoping he calls the judge an asshole, “unloyal” and actually uses the n-word 7 or 8 times so some possibly decent pubs can turn their back to him. Who am I kidding? That might make him more popular than ever. ---

The only thing I would add to all of the above is some kind of weasel-worded, plausibly deniable incitement to violence, a la “my people won’t stand for this” or “I know the great folks of America will protect me,” or, “The DA will have blood on his hands.” Something to encourage his base to take to the streets with guns and baseball bats, without directly telling them to do it. ---

A li’l OT, but why would Soros ever give Bragg any money? On the off chance he may someday prosecute one of his enemies? That’s not a very good investment. If PAB had elaborate mechanisms to hide his payments to Stormy, how is Soros paying off all his thousands of operatives? Even Goone’s whistleblower was paid by Soros. How did he get paid? If Soros ever dies the MAGAts will be lost. ---

Let’s call it what it is: Soros is simply the Republican version of Emmanuel Goldstein, perpetual enemy of the state a la Orwell’s _1984_ Edit: That book is starting to read like a documentary. ---

I suspect that he will call for his supporters to take the streets “peacefully” (_wink__wink_). ---

This was put together from his own words from the last couple of days. I think it will be pretty close. Our once beautiful USA is now a Nation in Decline. Radical Left Insurrectionists, Extortionists, Crooked Politicians and Thugs have taken over our Country, & are rapidly destroying it. After 8 YEARS OF POLITICALLY MOTIVATED INVESTIGATIONS, HOAXES, SCAMS, AND WITCH HUNTS, they have weaponized the FBI & DOJ to Interfere with, Rigg, and Steal our once SACRED ELECTIONS. THIS IS AN ATTACK ON OUR COUNTRY THE LIKES OF WHICH HAS NEVER BEEN SEEN BEFORE. THE RADICAL LEFT DEMOCRATS HAVE LIED, CHEATED, AND STOLEN IN THEIR MANIACAL OBSESSION TO “GET TRUMP,” BUT NOW THEY’VE GONE TOO FAR, INDICTING A TOTALLY INNOCENT MAN who is the most successful president in history and the leading candidate, by far, for the Republican nomination. This is AN ACT OF OBSTRUCTION AND BLATANT ELECTION INTERFERENCE. CRIME STATISTICS ARE OUT IN MANHATTAN, THE PLACE REIGNED OVER BY RADICAL LEFT, SOROS BACKED, DISTRICT ATTORNEY—ALVIN BRAGG. THE NUMBERS ARE A COMPLETE AND TOTAL DISASTER. He has repeatedly allowed violent criminals to walk the streets yet now he wants to spend precious taxpayer dollars on this outrageous case. The Judge “assigned” to my Witch Hunt Case, a “Case” that has NEVER BEEN CHARGED BEFORE, HATES ME. Why aren’t they prosecuting Crooked Hillary and the Biden Crime Family with the Laptop from Hell? _10 minute word salad ramble which may or may not include tangents about his uncle from MIT, airplanes during the revolutionary war or the size of his hands. And at least one “sir story”._ No other world leader in history has been as persecuted as Donald J. Trump. HOW MUCH MORE ARE AMERICAN PATRIOTS EXPECTED TO TAKE? I AM THE MOST HONEST AND HONORABLE MAN ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD, believe me. I want to thank everybody for the tremendous support you have given me against this assault on our Nation. We have to take back our Country and, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! ---

Are you a time-traveller? I think this might just be the actual transcript from the April 4 speech given by Trump after he is fingerprinted and posed for his mug shot. ---

Thank you so much for posting that! Of course, I’ll be staying up late to catch the news Tuesday evening/Wednesday morning Beijing time and I will definitely play this Bingo. I’m also indebted to you because I will be using this for some of my classes (not this event, but for other things). I’ve been looking for such a link for ages! ---

In putting that together, I realized that Trump is very smart in framing all of this as an attack on the country, while also proclaiming how honorable he is. Any of his “patriots” who might have a shadow of doubt can assure themselves that they are fighting for the country and not just for him. And, of course, it lets him deflect from engaging with any actual facts.
