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.

They'll stand with their backs turned.

They would have to ask Florida to arrest and extradite him.

United States Constitution, Article IV, Section 2, Clause 2:

A Person charged in any State with Treason, Felony, or other Crime, who shall flee from Justice, and be found in another State, shall on Demand of the executive Authority of the State from which he fled, be delivered up, to be removed to the State having Jurisdiction of the Crime.

Have fun with this in court.

Walked by Trump Tower about an hour ago and there were not too many people there. I will post a couple of the photos down below. Looks like mostly tourists snapping pictures. No protesting that I could see but a few obvious Trump supporters in the crowd.

Don’t be obtuse

Is there any point you feel resistance is warranted

I see your view here a lot

My views support the US constitution, the Rule of law, and dovetail with opinions by Jim Jordon, James Comer. Mike Huckabe, Tucker Carlson, Jesse Waters, Jeanine Pirro. Meet Gingrich and other conservatives, since I joined Free Republic in 1999.

We haven't had the Rule of Law since the Clintons. The Constitution went AWOL in the 2020 election.

wardaddy, is there a reason you don not abide by the general convention of punctuation in your posts?

I find your posts are like poetry, and not in a good way.

I do not read poetry, hence I ignore statements without punctuation as the ramblings of a poet.

I am beginning to think Democrat Liberals are NOT Americans at all—They are, as some admit, Citizens of the world, not simply Americans. Their President is Zelenskyy in Ukraine. Or Dr. Fauci. Obama is their Founding father and Greta their pope. Trump is a fool con man who thinks he speaks for America. They speak for the WORLD GOVERNMENT. They would be pleased if the UN Ran things (as long as they could kick out Hitler-Putin and the backward Ruzzians).

“I am beginning to think Democrat Liberals are NOT Americans at all—They are, as some admit, Citizens of the world, “

That fits the political and corporate elites of both parties. They have more in common their social and economic class in other countries than they do with other Americans.

That’s why a split between nationalism vs globalism has become the big dividing line.

That’s not an answer

It’s a specific question

Let’s try another one

Do you think they held open polls in 2020 and counted votes in black urban precincts to put the over the top electorally via purple states?

That’s fairly simple a question no?

I think 55,000 votes nationwide did the trick

I live in the heads of too many here

I’ll try to do better

It’s such a meat and taters place

Nuance is vastly under appreciated

But I bet I know what you’re thinking

Vocabularies can sure be overrated

And you’d be right

Have a good evening in my favorite state where btw I’m headed in two weeks
