Speaking at a Texas rally, former President Donald Trump called for nationwide protests if prosecutors investigating him and his businesses "do anything illegal."

In the speech, he appeared to link the investigations to his baseless claim that the 2020 election was rigged, which led to the January 6 Capitol riot.

"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," Trump told the crowd in Conroe, Texas on Saturday night.

"nationwide protests if prosecutors investigating him and his businesses "do anything illegal." I guess Jan. 6, 2021 was just a warm-up?

1. I didn't read this post..

Any tRump headline is poison ....Flaimbait and free advertising for the insurrectionist ex dictator of America.

[Walleye]

2. So of course the TV media hangs on every word

[maxsolomon]

50. he's inciting civil unrest

idk what is the correct amount of attention that deserves.

[Walleye]

51. Of course it should be covered. But he shouldn't be treated as just another normal candidate

[maxsolomon]

52. Objectivity is a flaw of the "unibased" journalistic style.

A story on his rally can refer to him as "twice impeached former president", and that's objectively true. Asshole didn't literally say "riot", he said "protests", which are anyone's right to organize and participate in anywhere over anything.

Trump knows instinctively how to maintain deniability in his inciting, and only opinion pieces can call that out.

The press handicaps itself with it's "we report, you decide" approach.

[Walleye]

53. They should cover him like the mob boss that he is

[elleng]

3. We're working on those radical, vicious, racists, 'thank you' very much.

[Baked Potato]

4. T***p will attempt to define what is "legal" in T***p World and

apply that to his many problems.

It won’t mean a damn thing to those living in the real world.

[Escurumbele]

42. Its actually very simple. Anything that uncovers criminal behaviour from him, his "business" and his

kids is "illegal" to him and the MAGAts, nothing more.

[global1]

5. It's Pre-1/6/22 All Over Again.....

he's inciting his minion base to riot again.

He saw and was pleased at what happened on 1/6 and is thinking that the second time is a charm.

This has to be nipped in the bud right now or the 1/6th insurrection at the Capitol was only a precursor for what will be unleashed in the next riot he incites.

He and his accomplices in his coup need to be held accountable - and soon.

"The night of the long knives" 2.0 Hitler playbook down to the incitement of his rabid base of 1/6 veterans...

43. don't think so ? cat is out of the bag !! tried anything now would be huge problem!

[Traildogbob]

6. But but

Why is Biden not filling his promise to unit? Doooooosseeee wants to know why, as do most of MSM.

[Faygo Kid]

7. He wants to kill us. And his supporters.

And he expects to be dictator after the dust settles.

I for one do not think so.

31. I'll be watching the Texas COVID stats for the next month, expect a big spike.

This will be the worst superspreader event of the year so far. There wasn't a single mask in sight. Meanwhile, everyone I know is in isolation to prevent spread. They literally are killing us.

In my demographic, over 5% of those who test positive die.

great if there were coordinated arrests - that they all get locked up for something and folks are unable to do anything without their cult leader.

10. Why isn't this considered Mass Elder Abuse?

Shaking down America for power and money ... large segments of the population and Congress over the age of 60. Elder Abuse is a Federal crime that is taken very seriously.

15. The treasonous asshole says what? /A New Report Adds Evidence That Trump Was a Russian Asset

March 2021 report: A New Report Adds Evidence That Trump Was a Russian Asset


https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2021/03/trump-russian-asset-election-intelligence-community-report.html

Donald Trump was a tool in a long-running Russian campaign to weaken the United States. That’s been documented in Republican-led investigative reports, and now it has been updated with new evidence, thanks to the U.S. Intelligence Community’s assessment of the 2020 election. The report, drafted by the CIA, the FBI, and several other agencies, was released in unclassified form on Tuesday, but it was presented in classified form on Jan. 7. In other words, it was compiled, written, and edited during Trump’s administration. It destroys his lies about the election, and it exposes him as a Russian asset.

snip

During the campaign, Trump, his national security appointees, and his allies in Congress insisted that China was meddling in the election to help Joe Biden. They even claimed that China’s interference was more dangerous than Russia’s. The report shreds that fiction. China “did not deploy influence efforts intended to change the outcome of the US Presidential election,” says the assessment. It finds no attempt by China to “provide funding to any candidates or parties,” and it challenges the Republican spin that China feared Trump because he was too tough. It argues, to the contrary, that Beijing saw Trump as a weaker adversary because he “would alienate US partners,” whereas Biden “would pose a greater challenge over the long run because he would be more successful in mobilizing a global alliance against China.”

As to Russia, the report leaves no doubt: In 2020, as in 2016, “President Putin authorized, and a range of Russian government organizations conducted, influence operations” to help Trump and hurt his Democratic opponent. For example, “Shortly after the 2018 midterm elections, Russian intelligence cyber actors attempted to hack organizations primarily affiliated with the Democratic Party.” Then, in late 2019, Russia’s military intelligence service, the GRU, “conducted a phishing campaign against subsidiaries of Burisma holdings, likely in an attempt to gather information related to President Biden’s family.” Throughout the 2020 election, agents “connected to the Russian Federal Security Service,” FSB, planted negative stories about Biden. Internet operatives working for the Kremlin, including the troll farm that had boosted Trump in 2016, continued to promote “Trump and his commentary, including repeating his political messaging.”

18. "... Was a Russian Asset" ...once an asset, until plutonium do we part.

Forget the past tense ..... if it walks like a duck, and if it quacks like a duck ......

[Botany]

26. In the late winter of 2020 US intelligence had evidence that Russia wasworking to help Bernie ...

.... and told the senate intelligence committee about it and what did TFG do? He fired the intelligence
officials. The GOP has been well aware of the Russian rat fucking of our elections since @ least 2015
and have never said word one about it.

[choie]

19. Insurrection 2.0

2nd time's the charm

[SouthernDem4ever]

20. I will stage a protest if they DON'T prosecute trump

winner of the Charlatan of the Century Award.

[Turbineguy]

21. Does he know?

Prosecutors who do things illegal risk getting their case thrown out?

[bluestarone]

22. PROOF that he KNOWS what's coming to the RUMP FAMILY!!

If his base DOES what he's asking, THEY should be met with FIRE HOSES or whatever else is needed!

[Snackshack]

23. This is

a straight up threat to the United States of America and should treated as such by the DOJ and every other institution that has a mission to protect the country and constitution. DT already had the capitol attacked so this must be taken seriously.

No one is above the law and to threaten violence if you are investigated is a clear and present danger to the country. DT should be arrested right now.

[Grokenstein]

24. I don't think dim donnie OR Unca Vlad can pay enough idiots to show up.

COVID-19's been busy thinning the ranks of volunteers with death and long-haul, and then of course there's the ghost of prison time haunting the rest--but don't worry, dim donnie's gonna pardon all y'all!!

Just remember, seditionists, if you decide to show up: dim donnie's not going to be holding off the National Guard this time. You are going to wind up bagged and tagged. There will be no statues in your "honor." Your children will spit on your graves. You will fall somewhere well below Timmy McVeigh on the list of traitors. All because you followed the con man who used you like a sheet of toilet paper.

[TeamProg]

25. He's nervous. Trump is GOING DOWN !!

I'm sure of it.

[mahina]

36. I feel sure too but it's not coming cheap.

At least we aren’t the poor saps that are actually giving him money.

[Maeve]

27. "racist"?????? IMAX sized projection, maybe?

[NCjack]

28. I hope WDC, NYC, and Atlanta deny him permits. Otherwise, I am sure that

TFG's gang of fascist thugs will be met by counter protestors.

[monkeyman1]

44. could be met with Stricker's & a hole lot of canned whoop ass ??????????????

[discntnt_irny_srcsm]

29. re: "...radical, vicious, racist prosecutors..."

Right out of the psychological warfare playbook.
Radical??? Really? After 6 January and the various high crimes that led to it, he calls someone radical. That's incredible.

Vicious? Well I hope so. I hope they are all so vicious that if he somehow at his hearing gets bail may it be in the exabuck range all cash.

Racist?????????????? HE is the racist sack of crap more so than most others I've seen. Insane... very much so. Doesn't have all his dogs barking for sure.

[padah513]

30. He still thinks he's got all his lackeys in high places

To block any kind of response.

[IronLionZion]

32. Might have fewer people for the next insurrection

considering how many of them are in prison or died of COVID

[GB_RN]

33. If Prosecutors "Do Anything Illegal"?

If they prosecute him, they're doing it because the evidence supports a prosecution.

His allegations of "radical, vicious, racist prosecutors"*? FFS, what a joke. He's not even doing dog whistles anymore. Agent Orange is going straight for the Klan robes: Fani Willis in GA, the new Manhattan DA, and Tish James as NY AG, and Bennie Thompson chair of the J6 Committee, are all Black. tRump might as well be telling his people to burn crosses in all those peoples' yards right this second - if not find nooses.

Fuck you, Hair Gropin' Furher. Just. Fuck You.

*emphasis added

[Martin68]

34. Dump is trying to organize another insurrection attempt.

Will the government step in? Will Justice take action before it's too late?

[mahina]

35. Why would anyone risk it with the odds against them? There's no sense

In throwing their future away.

Lemmings maybe, and not that many of them either, God willing. Anyone who would bite on this already has I think

[bucolic_frolic]

37. And the brilliant minds of MAGA hear that and know with certainty

that US prosecutors are on a CRIME SPREE! Against TRUMP!!!!!!!

[orangecrush]

38. Grand Prize for Sedition

The Ashli Babbit award




Trump is foaming at the mouth.

[BigmanPigman]

39. Why doesn't he just drop dead and do

us all a favor. I will not rest until he is dancing with the devil.

[onetexan]

40. Inciting more violence, eh?

Lock him up.

[Marcuse]

45. "radical, vicious, racist, illegal, wrong"

[MissMillie]

46. I don't suppose he bothered to tell them all

that peaceful protests don't include bombs, weapons and riot gear

[nowforever]

47. A parade

I am thinking a celebratory parade is more likely, I can see it now led by the Trump baby float...

[Harker]

48. Orange Goering

can't pull himself up by his jackboot straps.

[AngryOldDem]

49. Yes, 1/6 was a warm-up.

Such a cancer on the country and society.

He still has people who listen to him. The threat has not gone away.
