Summary
Mike Davis, a Trump adviser and possible nominee for attorney general, issued a threatening warning to New York Attorney General Letitia James, who sued Trump for business fraud, not to continue her legal actions against him in his second term, threatening to put her in prison.
Davis’s inflammatory remarks, including personal insults, come as James has vowed to defend Americans against any unconstitutional actions by the new administration.
Known for his extreme rhetoric, Davis has previously suggested punishing journalists and Trump’s political opponents harshly, though it’s often unclear when he’s serious.
Trump has hinted at a significant role for Davis in his administration.
First they came for…
Fuck it, you want this.
I get where you’re coming from, but I don’t and voted against it. And tried to get as many people to join me as I could. I tried.
Only so much you can do when the majority of the country actively wanted a nightmare.
It’s hard to motivate people to show up when the platform has been “it puts the neoliberal on its skin or else it gets the Trump (again)” for 8y. Couldn’t we have talked jobs and material improvements for the lower and middle class or something?
Edit: if anyone’s curious how the Democrats lost this election just scroll down this comment tree. Instead of asking how we can do better everyone’s consumed with finger pointing and “you deserve this!” as if we just shame our own voters enough we’ll surely win next time. Take a beat and really think about this: what do you do to win a popularity contest? If you lose the popularity contest how do you do better next time? It’s not this.
No. Just no.
The Democrats did not fail us. WE DID. We failed. The threat of Trump 2.0 was apparent to all. If that’s not enough motivation to at least show the hell up to vote and kick the can down the road on better things, then nothing is. Every democratic voter who stayed home or voted 3rd party was derelict in their civic duty to prevent something worse.
She did. A lot. You weren’t listening. You were too busy trying to both-sides this shit.
You got Trump. Congrats.

Two of my favourite characters that have to put up with… people like Calvin and Ford.
Very professional and normal, not fascist at all.
This is the same guy who, earlier in the week, tweeted that he wanted to drag Democrat politician’s “bloody, beaten bodies” through the street.
THOUGH IT IS OFTEN UNCLEAR WHEN HE’S SERIOUS???
Can we just have a tiny little fucking bit of real journalism for one godamn second?
If you thought journalism was bad before, when they were only compromising their standards for money, just watch now that it’ll be money and threats.
Add him to the next case as knowing accomplice with criminal conspiracy to obstruct justice. He’s publicly calling for a criminal act on an individual.
If someone makes threats you have to assume they’re serious and not just wave it away as “unclear”.
