one suspects trump wants to be put in jail to become a martyr. AmIrite?

[msongs]

continuous misbehavior with no consequences encourages him to do whatever he wants and why not since he is allowed to get away with crap for which we would all be in jail.

is it worth it to actually find him in contempt and punish him with either fines or jail?

1. Will he feel the same way when the jail door is slammed?

[msongs]

3. he will say he feels like jesus on the way to crucifiction. nt

5. Maybe a cross and spikes are needed.

And then bury him in a cave with the entry closed.

2. Actually I think he's scared to death of it

4. Oblige him. Orange gross fuck Jeezuz.

Tired of people coddling that whiny punk ass and his racist dupes

[elleng]

6. prolly, but

there is a risk (to we the people) of incurring damaging response by his 'base.'

12. see my recent post about kari lake nt

13. *Lake's campaign declined to comment when asked to clarify the point of her remarks

and whether she was implying there might be political violence in the next six months.

While Lake didn’t explicitly warn of political violence, that’s how one of her supporters took her rhetoric.

“They’re gonna do everything they can to disrupt the election, whether it’s another pandemic, whether it’s going to be inciting the civil war,” said Geenee Roe, 63, when asked about Lake’s speech afterward. The event included a raffle of an AR-15-style rifle.'

The effect remains to be seen.

7. Call His Bluff

His minions attacked the capitol knowing that their hero & his hatchetmen controlled the response.
They're not going to assault a secured prison. So, his martyrdom will be in name only, which is not martyrdom.
He'll just be a jailbird.

8. Oh please, let him choose self immolation....will get a bigger audience just as he likes it!

As I wrote on another thread, as much as any judge may want to toss him in jail for violation of a gag order or other contempt, I think the unspoken conundrum for the legal system is just how would one do that with an ex-Prez with Secret Service protection and so forth?

11. I don't think that's a conundrum at all.....

Jails have cells where they can hold certain prisoners apart from the general population and keep them safe. The only problem I see with jail is keeping him supplied with his diapers.

9. Trump relishes the idea of being a martyr

But jail scares him. Dirty toilet seats. Who knows who slept on that mattress. Filthy floors. Bugs.

10. He needs to be stopped from making threats.

Jail alone will not accomplish that. It will not change or subdue him. If jailed, he needs to have all communication devices removed from him.

Focus should be on silencing him. If he is not jailed, he should be in an isolation room where he can watch and hear the trial, but cannot communicate intimidation to the jury through body language. Communication devices removed in that isolation room.

14. I don't think so. That's the last thing he wants to have happen to him.
