Lock 'em up! Maybe I'm being petty, but I would especially like to see Rudy fall.

A big +1. Like there is some sort of justice for trying to orchestrate an overthrow of ]my government and the traditional peaceful transfer of power. My only reservation is at the state level, this sort of action will be weaponized juxtaposed to the federal level, where the stakes can be forgiven by a corrupt executive branch monitored by henhouse foxes in Congress and questionable courts.

Oh, the irony!
The attorney running the Republican National Committee’s “election integrity” effort has been criminally charged by the state of Arizona for her efforts to help Donald Trump steal the 2020 election. This turn of events highlights the Orwellian meaning of the phrase “election integrity,”

Yes but these people are criminals. We can have the actual president associating with actual criminals who tried to steal the election back for him.

Seriously though you play with trump you get burned. That people aren’t seeing it is truly baffling .

If you look at many of the stories around the gullible fools that invested heavily in Truth Social, yes they are.

I'm sure there were, but there are a ton of stories about Trump loyalists who bought in and are losing money hand over fist.
To Trump's most diehard supporters, investing in the scam is akin to making a political donation to his reelection campaign.

Meanwhile, Trump and TMTG's executives are already making moves to cash out, likely leaving investors out to dry.

Despite an ocean of red flags, investors are sticking to their figurative — and possibly literal — guns, treating the plummeting stocks as a fire sale.

"I think daddy Trump has some surprises for us, we just have to be patient and wait for it," one Truth Social user wrote. "[No further action] but I'll buy more tomorrow. Gotta love the price."

9 Felony counts in Arizona for Meadows!
The Associated Press reported first on Wednesday that the state’s attorney’s general office confirmed Meadows was being charged with nine felony counts and has been served.

Rather, I'm telling that little part of myself that got excited to shut up and go back to its room until I tell em' it's time to come out and celebrate.
