A dire warning from the bench.

[Billiejeens]

I would encourage you to do some research on the violence resulting from the Floyd protests. That way perhaps you'd stop making specious analogies between them and the 1/6 riot.

There is no real comparison.
The "floyd protests" were a thousand times worse.
Your Cult kept/keeps you ignorant.

 

[jc456]

Wrong.

Trump incited treasonous lawless and violence when he lost in 2020; he’s perfectly capable of doing it again in 2024.

why hasn't he been arrested for inciting? So far you have bubkist of an argument, and the judge can take his sorry ass outside and cry with you!

Read Jack Smith's indictment. Just once, try learning the facts before reflexively spewing talking points.

If you read past, A federal judge in Washington, D.C., then you are consuming bullshit.

Maybe Contreras needs to tell his party and Sleepy Joe to step aside and allow President Trump to assume the presidency uncontested to avoid what he sees as such an atrocity?

That is the remark of a coward.

Wrong.

A few people got a little out of hand and years later you folks are still having a hissy fit. Sad.

There was no deadly siege on the US.
More Cult media.

Listen up idiot -
The Democrats needed chaos at the very moment that the improprieties of the election were about to be discussed on the floor.
They couldn't allow that, so they staged a distraction to ensure that Cultists as yourself would never be appraised of the truth.

yep, and here's the footage of how the police created the violence.

Also wrong.

It’s perfectly appropriate and warranted to be prepared for violence as incited by Trump – he’s done it before.

Trump is a criminal who uses violent rhetoric; Trump’s supporters have demonstrated their propensity for lawlessness and violence.

Federal Judge Warns Of A Jan. 6 Repeat In The 2024 Election

A federal judge in Washington, D.C., warned Thursday that Donald Trump could provoke a Jan. 6-style attack with another call to arms in response to the 2024 election.

U.S. District Judge Rudy Contreras made his comments from the bench during the sentencing of a Jan. 6 rioter. Noting that Trump and his allies had “spurred” the attack, the judge expressed concern that the defendant before him would respond to a similar “call” in the future.

“It doesn’t take much imagination to imagine a similar call coming out in the coming months,” Contreras said.

This is, by my count, at least the third federal judge sitting in DC who has publicly warned of the threat we still face right now – not just the retrospective assigning of blame for what happened in the 2020 election, but actively and frantically sending out alerts that we may face more political violence ahead.

I think it's a mistake to think of a threat in terms of a repeat of the 1/6 riot Trump inspired. I'm sure Mike Johnson will have the Capital Police prepared this time (just kidding on two counts).

The more salient point is Trump maintains control over potentially violent followers who he has proven willing to unleash on any governmental body he sees fit. If not with actual violence, which have been less frequent, then with threats of it.

The reflexive reaction of Trump's defenders no doubt displaying, without realizing it, how the violence associated with Trumpery has been normalized.

Now our courts are engaging in fear mongering?

Well, I guess you have to set the narrative, and judges are now becoming activists.

Trump has enjoyed grabbing women and cheating employees, contractors and investors for years.. He's enjoyed his adultery, his wealth and power. He's had mental health issues his whole life. Leave it be.

Maybe this time he'll go to jail.
