Marjorie Taylor Greene Warns Against Donald Trump’s Protest Demands

Quote:
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) cautioned MAGA-diehards who plan to protest against Donald Trump’s possible indictment after the former president repeatedly called on his supporters to take to the streets.

In a rare move, the MAGA-loving congresswomen split from Trump’s call for nationwide protests, worried that such events could be hijacked and turn violent.

“There are a lot of concerns about protests because of people like Ray Epps and Scaffold Commander,” Greene told The Daily Beast on Sunday afternoon, expressing worry about a repeat of a Jan. 6—which the Georgia congresswoman remains adamant was infiltrated by federal agents. “There are a lot of reasons to believe there were feds or fed assets instigating the riot at the Capitol on January 6th.”

A generation or two ago and marriage failure greene would have already been locked up in an insane asylum a while ago so we wouldn’t have to keep hearing what her whackjob thoughts are.

One this one issue you probably agree with her, even if it's just broken clock effect.

Trumpsters rioting won't help anyone. Not them, not their opponents, not their nation and not the rest of us.

There is also evidence of disguised antifa agitators mixing with Republican protestors.

The BLM rioters didn't help social harmony, either.
And, yes, there would have been far-right infiltrators there also.

Please don't introduce unrelated speculation - it's off-topic.

Ron DeSantis breaks his silence on a possible Trump indictment

Quote:
After remaining silent over the weekend, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis took shots at the "Soros-funded prosecutor" in Manhattan involved in an ongoing hush money case against former President Donald Trump.

“I have no interest in getting involved in some manufactured circus by some Soros-DA,” DeSantis said at a news conference Monday, referring to Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg. “He’s trying to do a political spectacle. He’s trying to virtue signal for his base. I’ve got real issues I got to deal with here in the state of Florida.”

"I don't know what's going to happen but I do know this: the Manhattan district attorney is a Soros-funded prosecutor," he added.

DeSantis accused the district attorney of weaponizing his office by going after Trump, charging that the prosecutor had overlooked other, more recent crimes in the meantime.

But even as he echoed the criticism Trump's defenders have leveled at Bragg, DeSantis, the strongest challenger to Trump for the 2024 Republican nomination, took great care to repeat the salacious allegations facing the former president.

“I don’t know what goes into paying hush money to a porn star to secure silence over some type of alleged affair, I just, I can’t speak to that," DeSantis said, to laughter in the background. Then, referring to the prosecutor again, he added, "That's an example of pursuing a political agenda."

Combination of midterm election results and deterrence. Elections matter. All of the 1/6 rioters being arrested and convicted matter. Law and Order :D

If the political calculation were different I have no doubt her and McCarthy would be egging on another insurrection. While these statements turn down the heat they far from turn it off because they still are undercutting trust in election results.

Still good news even if it is for the wrong reasons.

Because of all of the arrests I never expected anything massive. These statements increase my confidence somewhat. I can’t discount that a few things may happen but for the short term we are in a less bad place then on 1/6.

Of course there is your buddy Jack Smith investigating purloined documents in Florida.

Some news clip said it would either be Monday or Wednesday.

Apparently trump’s guess was Tuesday and he was just trying to get more official info/get his cult members fired up and ready to do a terrorism and go to jail for him.

They were trying to make her look bad so the whole female president thing wouldn't happen.
