I think marching around with signs is stupid.

I also think that if Trump is arrested for entering into a settlement agreement with Trump Org funds disbursed by his lawyer, that there is no criminal act, and this shite needs to end. IOW we can’t ignore it.

The trucker protest in Canada was a great protest. It was nonviolent and tied to the message.

If people protest Trump’s arrest- what would be your idea for a clever protest, connected to the event, that the FBI can’t infiltrate and instigate? We all know conservatives have no civil rights or police protection in blue shitholes.

(The above summarizes recent Twitter conversation. I’m terrible at thinking up stuff like this. You Baws may have some good ideas).

Whatever happens, happens. I can tell you it won't be coordinated and it won't be the same wherever it happens. People are passionate about the future of the country, and afraid for it and they truly believe only Trump can bring it about. If you eliminate that vehicle it might be a reason for some to go all out because the alternative is our current state of perpetual persecution.

I have noticed a tidal shift in the reporting around this issue. Late last week, leftists were fellating themselves over the coming Trump arrest.

Trump announces he will be arrested.

It's Monday morning and Trump's arrest is now "supposedly imminent" and on NPR is a "Trump claim". That same report included a legal opinion by some friend of the DA who called his legal theories "novel". Inskeep also wants to make sure we know that the DA teaches Sunday School.

This leads me to believe two things: 1) They don't really have the stones to arrest a former POTUS on some BS charge and 2) Trump is baiting them into doing it.

This little game of chicken will be entertaining regardless of the outcome.


ETA link to NPR. ~3 min: the transcript will be available at this link later today.

Is he actually going to be arrested, or is this just Donald Trump talking out of his arse on this one?

I don't know of any organized protests in my area. Even if I did, work would interfere with my participation. I pray daily for President Trump, his advisors, and all who support him.

Or is this Trump playing the media against itself?
He makes this announcement, media pounces in it, then no arrest and Trump appears to come out on top.
Obviously, I don't know, but it's plausible.

I think the shift came with Trump’s weekend post on Truth Social. He encouraged his supporters to protest. That was all the left needed to dredge up the Jan 6 bull poop and once again paint Trump as an extremist.

Trump has many enemies…but quite often he is his own worst enemy.

Correct. And even if turnout were massive, wouldn't get a shred of coverage and the idiots in the group would run to the cameras and make us all look stupid. My experiences anyways.

Please don’t physically protest. The media will spin this around and will hurt his public image
Protest by VOTING

At some point, SOME POINT; we're going to get enough of their shite and stand up and fight back.

It can be done in many many ways none of which involve standing in the cold holding a sign.

I actually do think the above is what's happening. No one is planning on arresting Donald Trump at this stage. This is just another game to have himself front and center in the media, and to get his base supporters riled up.

Remove cash from big banks, and redistribute it to community banks, as long as each account is less than $250k.

The only protests that will work is money based.

What happens when conservatives stop working.

We also really need to work on an alternate economy, but that's hard.

We need to put our money in conservative banks.

What grocery stores are conservative (or just suck it up and buy at local farmers markets).

We need to be smart and not violent.
