So he wants to pardon the people prosecuted for the last insurrection and he wants another insurrection if he’s prosecuted
Video thread about Trump's Saturday night rally in Conroe, Texas, begins here
I started to get worried that it had in about May 2016. I went to bed on election night before it started to turn in his favor and spent the next three months quaking in my boots about what this might mean for America.I spent all of 2016 confidently assuring y'all that America had not lost its cotton-pickin' mind
Could you please make a mural of that and send it to me so I can hang it on my wall to point at instead of posting on SM?
This sad little paragraph is the sum total of his "call to violence." It isn't one, but, if you speak trumpanzee, it kinda is.p0rtia wrote: ↑Sun Jan 30, 2022 1:16 pm I. Just. Can't. Watch the videos, and I can't find a transcript that pertains to the "asking MAGA to do violence if he's arrested" part.*
If anybody knows the actual language he used, and can post it, I'd appreciate it.
*I have visions of Zombie Merrick Garland in 2025 saying "we just can't prove that he told that large army of insurrectionists to break him out--look, here's where he said he didn't want violence, so I guess it's okay."
If these radical, vicious racist prosecutors do anything wrong or illegal I hope we are going to have in this country the biggest protest we have ever had ... in Washington DC, in New York, in Atlanta and elsewhere because our country and our elections are corrupt.
Just like Gore shoulda made himself POTUS....

Consecutive terms remain the same number.
Actually, he's only the 44th person to hold the office. As others have pointed out, Grover Cleveland was the 22nd and the 24th.Suranis wrote: ↑Mon Jan 31, 2022 4:47 am The stupid thing is that he is, again, showing that he is a complete idiot. If he did win again, he would NOT be 47. He would still just be 45. 45 just means you were the 45th person to hold the title, it has nothing to do with losing and then regaining the title.
He is just trying to be an Alpha man again by having a bigger number than Joe Biden, the man that beat his pimpled rashy ass.
Gee, I wonder what they will decide?
Trump Says He Would Consider Pardons for Jan. 6 Defendants if Elected
In a speech in Texas, the former president also urged supporters to stage protests if prosecutors in Atlanta and New York took action against him.
By J. David Goodman and Emily Cochrane
Jan. 30, 2022
CONROE, Texas — Donald J. Trump said on Saturday that if elected to a new term as president, he would consider pardoning those prosecuted for attacking the United States Capitol on Jan. 6 last year.
He also called on his supporters to mount large protests in Atlanta and New York if prosecutors in those cities, who are investigating him and his businesses, took action against him.
The promise to consider pardons is the furthest Mr. Trump has gone in expressing support for the Jan. 6 defendants.
“If I run and I win, we will treat those people from Jan. 6 fairly,” he said, addressing a crowd at a fairground in Conroe, outside Houston, that appeared to number in the tens of thousands. “We will treat them fairly,” he repeated. “And if it requires pardons, we will give them pardons, because they are being treated so unfairly.”
