This is a pretty safe play for DeSantis. His proclamation is meaningless, but it sounds good. He could do more (that might touch off a Constitutional crisis of sorts), but the fact that Trump wants the spectacle of being cuffed complicates things. I started predicting years ago that Trump would die in prison.
What should happen is that Florida and/or The People should arrest any New York or federal agents who enter Florida to arrest Trump. If they resist, then extreme stuff would need to happen. It won’t happen. There has never been a successful peasant uprising, and there never will be one.
At least maybe “conservatism” has gotten past tax cuts and “I DON’T CARE ABOUT WHAT IT IS THEY’RE A’DOIN’, SO LONG AS THEY AIN’T A’DOIN’IT IN MUH FACE.” So, at least there’s that. Maybe it’s 40 years too late, but it is what it is.
Since most of the rich are now liberals, I say "Tax the crap out of the rich!"
“This is a pretty safe play for DeSantis. His proclamation is meaningless, but it sounds good.”
That’s what I was thinking.
“ There has never been a successful peasant uprising, and there never will be one.”
Our country was founded by one.
Trump enjoys Secret Service protection. The Secret Service is tasked with protecting the President, even from himself.
I do not believe the Secret Service will permit Trump to be handcuffed, even if he wants to be. They won't permit him to be jailed. They might not permit even his mugshot to be taken.
They wield wide authority and they do not answer to Alvin Bragg.
