Donald Trump announced plans to hold a press conference next week to present a “conclusive report” proving that the 2020 election in Georgia was rigged. This comes after Trump was recently indicted by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis for attempting to overturn the election results in Georgia. Trump claims the report will show election fraud and lead to “a complete exoneration” of all charges against him. However, critics argue it has been over two years since the election and Trump has not previously provided evidence of widespread fraud. The announcement also comes just hours after Trump lashed out at Willis for indicting him now rather than earlier. It remains to be seen whether Trump’s promised report will actually contain new evidence that could substantively challenge the prior investigations.

Holy shit he actually said “the report will come out next week”. Like his healthcare solution. Or his infrastructure plan. It’s all coming out next week.

Or his “stolen election” claims leading up to Jan 6th. People forget. But the whole thing was initially advertised as a reveal of damning proof.

Amazing how he “suddenly” has proof of the fraud that could have made him President.
He… lost it until now?
Did he finally find it while looking for more TOP SECRET documents in a box in another bathroom?
He will literally open his mouth, commit more crimes, and be in more trouble. I hope he gets himself jailed!

I believe that coercing people to die from alcohol poisoning is a criminal offense.

Hey trump, why not give your “proof” to a court of law? Where it might actually be useful?? I mean what good is it showing your evidence to faux “news” viewers?? What are they gonna do, they cant get your out of an indictment.

So not only is he going to say the things he’s been told not to say- but he’s announcing when and where he plans to do it.

He no think good.

We’re literally watching a civil war / military takeover in realtime getting set.

The plan is to make it a week from today, so he can’t be jailed before then for violating his court duties without Republican’s claiming it’s proof Biden is using the court system to silence him.

Then after he announces rubbish on Monday, he’ll instead claim he’s being silenced for revealing “the truth”.

The only move that can be taken to counter this would be to move to trial sooner / almost immediately or for the normal republican’s to make a signed letter acknowledging that trump is a psychopath

I’m an Aussie, but I wish you guys all the best dealing with this dictator-wannabee (and ya’ll welcome here in Australia to counter the growing nonsense we’re seeing Trump spread here too).

No way. The American brass (i.e., military leadership) is well aware of these games and can see right through them. They’re not going to move against Biden, certainly not for Trump.

If this becomes a civil war, it will end very very quickly. I guarantee the National Guard, FBI, CIA, NSA, Homeland, and the collective US armed forces have made to plans for the coming weeks/months and are paying very close attention.

My concern is that your general army grunt is not a great thinker and tends to be quite pro-Trump to begin with. How are they going to act if they think that they have been asked to oppress him?

This is why right wing ideology needs to be targeted as soon as it appears because it’s like a disease that infects weak-minded people.

Think about the capital riots and how some of the police officers were accused of basically letting the rioters in…

I think this article would be a good read: https://www.military.com/daily-news/2021/11/05/what-happened-members-of-military-accused-of-storming-capitol-january-6.html

I guess what I’ll say is, that’s a valid concern, but they’ve been working on it. Keep in mind, there may have been a lot of folks compelled to go, but there were a lot more that had absolutely nothing to do with it.

Kind of related, there may have been police there, but police officers as a whole have gotten the job done investigating and processing Trump.

Based on my experience with the navy, it seemed like all the lowest rungs of the ladder are 18 year olds who barely care about their own jobs, let alone politics. You’d see fox news in the chiefs mess but surprisingly little demagoguery below e-3.

The Georgia case hasn’t even been turned over to a judge yet, forget about a trial.

The 8/25 deadline is for the defendants to be turned over for arrest and arraignment. That’s when he’ll get a judge and we’ll learn next steps.

Willis wants a trial within 6 months, so before 2/15/2024.

Put it to you this way… In the U.S., there are a lot more real gun carrying patriots than the trash that follows Trumpism. That shit would be squashed quickly if things broke out. Also, most of those people are old and fat. They make for easy targets. I’m not worried.
