Donald Trump may have a card up his sleeve for an "October surprise," and J.D. Vance should be worried, a conservative columnist said Saturday.During an appearance on MSNBC over the weekend, columnist Jennifer Rubin — a loyal conservative until Donald Trump came along — was asked about the impact ...
There are never any consequences. Until there are, his whole circus will continue and get worse.
At this point he has to. He has to get elected. If he doesn’t, he’s very likely going to jail, facing many more charges, and will have to avoid going near windows above ground level for the rest of his life.
I…don’t believe it. Just not going to happen.
We’ll revisit this when he falls out a window or ends up in jail or a free pass.
We can hope for 2 of those 3 but no chance they’re going to happen.
Yeah, his only out at this point is to get into power again.
Failing that, I think he’s probably going to try something that forces Biden’s hand simply to cause chaos. Like, outright telling the proud boys / 3%ers / etc to execute whatever violent terroristical plans they may have come up with, so Biden is forced to choose between arresting him and his co-conspirators outright (thus activating the “political prisoner” trap card for all of the wingnuts who are still ride-or-die for him, thus causing more chaos and violence) or letting it slide (thus implicitly giving him carte blanche to do whatever the fuck he wants, regardless of legality).
And I do want to underline that the situation evolved to where it is now specifically because Biden’s AG pick was a fox in the henhouse - genuinely, I expect history books to regard Garland as perhaps the most catastrophically awful pick for AG in the context of the January 6th aftermath. This happened because nobody in charge took the threat fucking seriously, and now we’re all going to have to pay the price for that myopia.
The threat this time will be taken very seriously though. I’m not that worried. I’m concerned, but not that worried. I don’t think people want to die for him as much as they did. He’s looking weak and like a clown.
