My question is whether the first major targeted violence will be at the DOJ, or at any of the GOP rivals who dare to speak out against Mandorin Mussolini. I think that's already starting to happen.

Andrew- I agree the question is not If there will be MAGA terrorist attacks, but where?

Dean, do you think the next big attack will be against GOP rivals? Desantis got kind of Desalty the other day when he said "Of course he lost." That's got to sting.

Wherever it is, it's going to backfire. Unless he's President and then God help us.

We all want the trial televised, but it is imperative that they do NOT show the faces of the jurors for their protection. Perhaps they need to be seated behind a one way mirror or wear disguises. Sad state of affairs.

Right. No need to see the jurors. Everyone needs to see this trial. Can you just imagine how it will be spun if it isn't?

Wearing disguises - do you remember the “The Unknown Comic?” He wore a paper bag over his head while he did his routine

We have learned that the FBI and others had plenty of information that J6 was going to be a violent shitshow but did nothing about it. Do we have Chris Wray and Bill Barr to thank? Or was the bureau paralyzed by fear of Dump and the Dump supporters in their midst? The question applies now as well. There is more than enough reason to believe that MAGA will strike violently at DoJ, at one of the judges not named Cannon, at witnesses, and certainly at jurors. Will the FBI be ready? Have they ramped up security to a level that meets or exceeds the obvious threat? If not, why not? (Looking at Chris Wray and the Dump supporters that still occupy many positions in the Bureau)

Final note - it's easy to trace online threats back to the drooling MAGA moron making the threats. Maybe it's time to lock some of them up.

MAGA (Republicans, one of the 2 MAJOR political parties in America) is something to be feared.

Just stop and think about that for a moment. Seriously, I’ll wait . . . .

The “man” who served as President of the United States behaves/speaks in a way that necessitates extra security measures for people he perceives as “against” him, extra security for courthouses and surrounding roads, a need for total anonymity for members of juries. We have become so immersed in this garbage that we have just accepted it as “this is just the way it is.” But when you take a breath, and stop to really think about what it is, it is beyond believable. I seriously can’t wrap my mind around how far the country has fallen, it is beyond comprehension.

Sadly enough the term “Revenge Tour” tells people everything they’ll ever need to know about maga asshats & their motives & beliefs: they don’t care about this country, democracy, the truth or much else aside from their pathetic & chronically unsuccessful attempts to “own the libs”
