NYC battens down the hatches and NYPD prepares to mobilize 700 'disorder control' riot cops ahead of ex-president's possible arrest - as MAGA supporters descend on Trump Tower

The Big Apple is ready to batten down the hatches and mobilize 700 riot cops ahead of former President Donald Trump's anticipated arrest early this week.

State, city and federal law enforcement agencies have been meeting in recent weeks to discuss how to deal with expected widespread protests following Trump's arrest, as his supporters have already started descending on Trump Tower.

The New York Police Department is even considering stationing hundreds of riot cops, the Daily Beast reports, fearing that Trump's arrest may cause both MAGA conservatives and anti-Trump protesters to face off outside Manhattan Criminal Court as he is arraigned.

Trump is set to face criminal charges for $130,000 payments his former lawyer, Michael Cohen, paid to porn star Stormy Daniels towards the end of his 2016 campaign. Prosecutors say the payment violated campaign finance laws, and was made to silence Daniels about an affair she had with the mogul.

Several MAGA fans have now descended on Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida in a brazen attempt to prevent his arrest.

At this point it’s all anonymous sources and silence from the DA. They wanted to cover/distract for something and needed these headlines.

You would think they would make some sort of official statement.

I know thats its already been said here...now its my turn. This has got NOTHING to do with PDJT breaking any laws. It has EVERYTHING to do with liberal left woke globalist democrats attacking their biggest political opponent. The left will do anything, ANYTHING to silence Donald J. Trump. In Russia, Putin tried to kill Alexei Navalny (his most threatening political rival) and then eventually had him thrown in prison over bullsht charges. If anyone needs a comparison as to how corrupt the USA has become, fascist Russia is more and more a good place to look.

Dunno. You know how often they pull out the “can’t comment on an ongoing legal case” card...

it’s a distraction of the utter bank meltdown occurring as we discuss this.

see how quickly the bank collapses and bank runs got buried?

Careful

The riot cops may be dressed as MAGAs and have to arrest themselves.

The Democrats have gone totally nuts. I guess they believe any unrest this causes will be to their benefit.

Trump should tell them to, "Come and arrest me"? Trump could have his own camera crews going with patriotic music blaring in the back ground, (Proud to be an American) and he could exit Trump Hotel through a gauntlet of American flags. Force these evil corrupt SOB's to show what they're capable of. Get lots of video/pics of these neo-Nazis.

He may just do that prove this entire case is a Stalin show in Freedonia as performed by the Marx Brothers (a reference to the movie Duck Soup).

I marvel at the open disparity with the MSM reporting on the Trump case.

IF the situation was reversed, and a Conservative (Right-Wing) DA, from wherever, was going after a notable Democrat Politician...the MSM would couch each story by framing it as “The Right Wing DA” (or, “The Conservative DA”...)

But, with the stories about Trump, except for maybe Fox, all the rest of the MSM’s stories “just” say “NY DA so and so...” and would NEVER consider framing their story with “Liberal DA....” or, “Left-Wing DA...”

I actually walked by there on Friday (St. Patrick's Day) and the supporters there were a nice as can be. Many of the parade participants were giving them the thumbs up.

I work just a few blocks away from there so I'll take another walk up there today to see what's going on. I doubt there are going to be many people. I'll just play pedestrian and walk on through whoever is there.

Ukraine is worse

Putin tolerates a prickly press in Moscow

Zelensky has purged his

We even do that largely through control of the info allowed on the info dissemination highway

That’s the truth but sucks

Putin takes harder questions that Biden dies from a captured press

Look how they treated that African yesterday at the presser

They attacked him for pushing that nutty spokeswoman

You have been wrong on everything since the war started. And now you say “Putin tolerates a prickly press”. Yeah, ask Yulia Latynina and Alexei Navalny. His conferences are staged.

Back in July you were saying that Putin had achieved about all he originally wanted (obviously wrong) and the only question remaining was whether he would take Odessa. Sure, he would like to take Odessa, but he could not and he is further from it now than he was then.

Why do you persist in making idiotic statements about Ukraine when you don’t know jack about it?
