...If their cult figure is not perp-walked or formally charged, I'm worried some of these crazies will do some seriously stupid shit. I hope what the FBI took from MAL is serious, and leads to criminal charges because anything less I fear will get someone killed. They're seriously losing it out there in MAGA land.

(25,816 posts)That alone is evidence of a crime. Even though he did return some of the boxes he stole, the crime was
already committed. If you robbed a bank and later returned some of the money, you're still guilty. Add to that
the stuff he did not return, and was negotiating through his lawyers and there is plenty of reason for a search
warrant, even if there are not hugely important docs among them.

He is in "EX" mode.
If I can't have what/who I want, I will destroy it.
He's got money. He can run and hide. He's going to torch the country and laugh while watching, just as he did 1/6.

(19,204 posts)he has enough flying monkeys who want to die for him. Sure, he has a few and if they try something they'll be dealt with.
Mostly, I think they're internet keyboard warriors, full of sound and fury, signifying......nothing.
My apologies to Bill Shakespeare.

(12,403 posts)but of the 30% who are hard core MAGAt's, a very small portion will pick up weapons against the American people, IE: the Govt and fight, of that very small percentage, most will either be killed/wounded/arrested or crap their pants and run home to mama's basement and cower in fear once the shooting starts and rounds start coming their way.
Most are wanna be warriors who were raised on video games such as Call of Duty, Medal of Honor, etc, and think that's the real deal and have never experience actual combat, while those that actually have will be put down PDQ.
IOW, most Trump supporters are all hat and no cattle other than taking to the internet and expressing their faux outrage.
I believe this is very close to the actual truth.

(412 posts)The Jan 6 insurrection would have been quelled in a few minutes. The de-manned the capitol police and held back the national guard, without that they had no chance.
I think they know that.

(5,125 posts)10 of the crazy force does about equal Congressional DEMs and DEM Governors etc... Like Jan 6th.
So once OUR elected leaders are decimated, the Donna goes to Washington and bull in a china shops himself back into White House and our Democracy is over.
With Desantis taking out an elected Judge in his state and replacing it with a proxy.... the precedent is set.
They are already stocking up ammo.

(19,204 posts)Yes, a few might try something like that, but governmental law enforcement already knows who these people are, and they're keeping tabs on all of them.
All of this is not happening in a vacuum. Since 1/6/21 every channel in governmental law enforcement has been trained on these traitors. These guys can't change the channel on their TV without the government knowing about it.
Like I've said in other posts today, relax and enjoy the show. These guys are not that smart. They can't outwit governmental law enforcement. 😊
