yeah. going into today, the sort of scale it was, manhattan manhattan arraignment to january 6th, right? like, the worst-case scenario, of course, january 6th, was most sort of like humiliating or ridiculous being a and it is basically like manhattan. yeah. and i think there s a few things to think of. one is, donald trump is a con man if he s anything, and it s projecting and competence and confidence that makes him who he is. and this is embarrassing for him as was the manhattan thing. maybe doesn t have the power to just instruct people in the way that he wants everyone to think he does. number two, 1000 prosecutions of the january 6th insurrectionists probably weighs heavily on the kind of person who would be contemplating whether they are going to go to the federal courthouse and engage in mayhem or mischief, and i think we are seeing, in turn of effect, in fact you are seeing it in the channels in which these people speak, you are seeing it in the messages to them fro
assets, resources trusting us and spying for us and putting their lives at risk for us. it depends on that kind of trust. and if the message is that you can get away with this, well, then the whole enterprise collapses essentially. and so, absolutely, you can not hold donald trump to a different standard and allow him to avoid accountability for doing. this. and the fact that he is the person who was in charge, and once again to be in charge of the entire u.s. national security enterprise, i think it makes it important that the rules apply to him as well as anybody else. democracy is a fragile and rooted in trust. clint, donald trump has not been arraigned in new york and miami. today there were protesters, peaceful protesters, but in both the miami and new york we did not see any violence. are they starting to clue into the fact that they do not want to be like january 6th insurrectionists, many of whom are already in jail? i think so.
primetime special coverage of the day that donald trump was federally criminally indicted. you are looking here at some of the images that we saw today in miami after trump had called for his protesters from around the country to come to miami to show strength in response to this. it was more sparse than i expected. yeah. going into today, the sort of scale it was, manhattan manhattan arraignment to january 6th, right? like, the worst-case scenario, of course, january 6th, was most sort of like humiliating or ridiculous being a and it is basically like manhattan. yeah. and i think there s a few things to think of. when it, is donald trump is a con man if he s anything, and it s projecting and confidence that makes him who he is. and this is embarrassing for him, as wisdom and anything. maybe doesn t have the power to just instruct people in the way that he wants everyone to think he does. number two, 1000 prosecutions of the january 6th
desantis who, he has had a deeply embarrassing campaign reload on twitter this week. but also more significantly, and shockingly announced in 30 that he would be aggressive in issuing pardons, yes, pardons for january 6th insurrectionists. forgive me if i am mistaken, but i thought desantis was supposed to be the non-fascist alternative to trump. i guess not. unfortunately, tim scott the other man to formally toss his hat to the ring this week isn t any less trumpian, he s the lone black republican in the senate that s very noteworthy. and by all accounts, he is a friendly, amiable man. he smiles a lot, but he also voted in line with trump s position 96.7% of the time, when the no gop front runner occupy the white house. furthermore, apparently because of how nice and decent and amiable he is, he outright refuses to acknowledge a single one of the myriad of reasons that donald trump is dangerously unfit to be commander-in-chief again. but it is not fair to only slam senator scott for t
