Gee, you think?

And, you have to imagine there is a segment of society out there that, already angry, have seen what was done to J6ers, and figure if they're going to be jailed merely for peacefully protesting injustice, they might as well make it worth their while and take care of the offenders, threats of martial law, nukes, and F15s notwithstanding.

Not good all around, but I suspect especially for those identified as the offenders.

“But Neama Rahmani, a former federal prosecutor at West Coast Trial Lawyers, exclusively told Daily Express US that Trump being sent to jail would likely cause “mass protests and civil unrest.” “

This is a gross understatement.

He’d be in some city holding pen, not Riker’s Island.

I don’t think much would happen.
People are angry, but they would wait until after the election.
If Trump goes back in, the Judges in NY will have to answer for election interference and sedition. Yes, I think they should be aware that this is a real possibility. They should dot the I’s and cross the T’s, because the will be examined after the election.

Really, the justice system in NY makes 3rd world nations look advanced. Says a lot about NY.

Trump would also be the most popular guy on Riker’s island.

Trump is popular among the inmate population.

No it wouldn’t. Conservatives have been told to stand down time and time again. And we have no master astro-turf demonstration machine to fund and coordinate protests.

Paulie was cruel but consistent and that means he was fair.

I would agree except that I would expect Brandon's regime to send provocateurs to incite enough violence to justify a draconian crackdown. They need a "Long, hot Summer" to cancel the election and jail all opposition.

We are entering VERY explosive times and Judge Merchan is about to light the fuze.

It was December the sixth 1983
I was doin’ time for armed robbery
At four in the morning, I was sitting in my cell
I heard a whistle blow, and I heard somebody yell

There’s a riot going on
There’s a riot going on
There’s a riot going on
Up in cell block number nine

Our warden said Come out with your hands up in the air
If you don’t stop this riot you’re all gonna get the chair
And Scarface Jones said It’s too late to quit
Pass the dynamite, don’t you give me any sh$t
There’s a riot going on
There’s a riot going on
There’s a riot going on
Up in cell block number nine

On the 47th hour the nerve gas got our men
We’re all back in our cells but every now and then

There’s a riot going on
There’s a riot going on
There’s a riot going on
Up in cellblock number nine
Up in cellblock number nine
Up in cellblock number nine

If that colombian beyotch attempts to jail the presumptive republican candidate for President it WILL!! be heard before a high court. One way or the other. Guaranteed. My money is on USSC.

And that snotty corrupt little wetback knows it.

Would need large cell to accommodate the Secret Service detail that is required to protect him.
