Somebody rightly pointed out that my linked article is a year old. I simply didn’t remember the Nevada State GOP Chairman having directly implicated Trump in the ‘alternate slate of electors’ conspiracy. Suppose I should have searched the thread first. Suppose I still will 😉 ---

> Donald Trump and his allies have begun mapping out specific plans for using the federal government to punish critics and opponents should he win a second term, with the former president naming individuals he wants to investigate or prosecute and his associates drafting plans to potentially invoke the Insurrection Act on his first day in office to allow him to deploy the military against civil demonstrations.

True, but if I happened to be the one who wound up as Trump’s cellmate, I’d take great pleasure in telling him every day exactly what a [censored] he is in all the ways Dopers keep bringing up here. He’s never had to listen to that kind of verbal dress-down ever in his life. I hope he gets a cellmate like that. ---

I absolutely support the use of my tax dollars to build him a special prison, or buy him a secure but terrible house for his house arrest. I would like to humbly suggest that acquiring one in the worst neighbourhood in America and staffing it locally would be good for the economy in that area.
