Trump says he expects to be arrested on Tuesday
-
I think they continue making the same mistake as during his term - trying to turn him into the boogeyman. All that does is make him look some perversion of noble and keep him in the public eye.
He should be ignored. It would precipitate increasingly outrageous behavior on his part and accomplish their aims far more effectively.

It's really surprising how stupid politicians can be.

If you assume their goals are not their ideology but rather their personal advancement in the social hierarchy, their behavior might make more sense.

So it's a choice between stupidity and sociopathy. Great.

On another note, one might think he'd have learned that encouraging protests was not a great strategy.

A motivation for social advancement, and an inability to disentangle one's personal ambitions from alleged ideological motivations, is way too normal to be considered sociopathic or aberrant.

Adding my bit: A good thing would be for Tuesday to come and go with nothing happening. No arrest, and protesters standing around holding their peckers and their posters of outrage dragging in the dirt.
Agreed. But, as Scott Adams said, "If Trump ends up in handcuffs, he will be your next president."
Not sure how that'll work out, but it will certainly rile up his base.

Question of the hour: How widespread is his base nowadays? We hear glancing references to fans falling away, but what's the reality here?
Tell you what, a good barometric way to answer that would be to watch Trump himself. The more he spins to push himself into the public eye, the more worried he is, maybe.

I would think he lost at least half of them the afternoon of January 6 when he told them all to go home.

He's not really the brightest bulb, either. From time to time, I've wondered whether he is genuinely stupid, but I suspect it's more of a personality disorder.

It's not stupidity. It's a disease. TDS.

And Trump himself also suffers from it.

If a primary were held tomorrow in Florida, he'd beat DeSantis.

Making for a nice symmetry. Maybe they can score matching courtrooms.

It was a perfectly good joke until you posted that horrible mental image.
