Today is Tuesday…..
The day the ex-President ‘said’ he would be arrested….
Probably won’t happen today….
No surprise….
Donald Trump isn’t someone you believe ….
FYI?
Yesterday the cops where setting up barricade ‘s and camera’s on light poles around 100 Centre Street in Manhattan where Trump will go before the judge….
Trump wants a good crowd for his appearance ….
Yesterday the NY Daily News reports about ‘two dozen protestors’ showed up….
That’s ALL…
Folks?
We’re talking about New York City….
Manhattan….
This is NOT Republican country….
The NY City Police have 30,000 cops….
And there are about 1,000 more other types of cops and Feds there….
There isn’t gonna be another Jan. 6 when the Big Guy is told to show up….
(Gonna be more cops and camera’s then protesters?)
Donald Trump IS gonna be disappointed….
Mug shots….
Printed….
An ex-President with a arrest record….
Yup Donald….
Another sentence in the history books….
Gonna be a whole LOT MORE…..
So far, at least, Trump’s demands for his supporters to rally around him again have produced anemic results, suggesting his power is waning. When senior reporter for HuffPost Christopher Mathias reported from outside the Manhattan DA’s office, he found that the media there far outnumbered the protesters. “So many reporters here I just saw a reporter start interviewing someone but they turned out to be a reporter too,” he tweeted.
As a number of people have pointed out, Trump rallied his supporters in late 2020 around the idea that a key election had been stolen. His supporters are likely to find the idea that he must be protected over financial crimes committed in New York, possibly related to a sexual encounter with an adult film actress, less compelling.
And then there is the issue that those who turned out to support him in January 2021 found themselves on the hook for crimes, all on their own, without his help. Just today, a jury found four more people affiliated with the Oath Keepers guilty of conspiring to obstruct an official proceeding, conspiracy to prevent an official from doing their duty, destruction of government property, and civil disorder. The jury found two others guilty of entering and remaining on restricted grounds. Meanwhile, Trump spent the day “truthing” on social media.
So, if Trump’s influence is waning and he is perhaps facing indictments—remember, there are a number of investigations outstanding, and for all that Trump is talking about an indictment about his hush-money payment, we do not know what any of them will turn up—what direction should Republicans who signed on with Trump now jump?….

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) on Tuesday suggested that the Manhattan district attorney “should be put in jail” amid anticipation that former President Trump could be hit with an indictment today as prosecutors probe payments made to adult-film star Stormy Daniels during Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign.
“A Trump indictment would be a disgusting abuse of power. The DA should be put in jail,” Paul tweeted…..
