Jurors Believed Stormy Daniels and Michael Cohen, But Not Him<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The subject of Trump&#8217;s potential sentence came up Sunday morning on Fox News. Trump sat for a typically nerf-ball interview by the <em>&#8220;Curvy Couch&#8221;<\/em> potatoes of Fox and Friends. After delving deeply into the tediously repetitive ramblings that Trump disgorges at his cult rallies, co-host Pete Hegseth lobbed one right across the plate, giving trump an opportunity send an ominous signal to his glassy-eyed disciples.<\/p>\n<p>Hegseth asked about the possibility that <em>&#8220;the judge could say house arrest or even jail.&#8221;<\/em> Trump began his reply with a swing at some false bravado saying that, <em>&#8220;I\u2019m OK with it.&#8221;<\/em> Yeah, right! He would be OK with being confined to Mar-a-Lago, rather than playing golf or lavishing in the glow of his devotees at staged rallies in red America. Then he elaborated&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI\u2019m not sure that the public would stand for it. I think it would be tough for the public to take. You know, at a certain point there\u2019s a breaking point.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Trump on possible house arrest or jail time: I\u2019m not sure that the public would stand for it.

The convicted felon crime boss is talking directly to his StormTrumpers that he hopes will launch another January 6th style uprising. He would like nothing more than to see violent riots take place on his behalf. No matter what the sentence actually turns out to be. Trump is not warning about a potential <em>&#8220;breaking point.&#8221;<\/em> He&#8217;s advocating it.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately for Trump, he will likely be sorely disappointed. He wanted there to be massive protests outside of the Manhattan courthouse throughout his trial. They never showed up, even after he explicitly begged them to. He had to be satisfied with some lily-livered members of Congress who turned out in their Red-Tie uniforms to prop up their fallen leader. That, however, doesn&#8217;t diminish the potential for harm by lone wolf extremists individually or in small groups.<\/p>\n<p>The pathetic impotence of Trump&#8217;s unanswered pleas is also reflected in new polls that have been released since his conviction that show him losing significant support among independents and even his Republican base.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">TRUMP IS TOAST! &quot;49% of Independents and 15% of Republicans said Trump should end his campaign because of the conviction.&quot;<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/fff6FXBTMw\">https:\/\/t.co\/fff6FXBTMw<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; News Corpse (@NewsCorpse) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NewsCorpse\/status\/1797197249354912032?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 2, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Now that Trump has been declared guilty, and his punishment is pending, it was interesting that in this same interview his Fox News pals asked him about the chants of <em>&#8220;Lock her up,&#8221;<\/em> that he led during his 2016 campaign against Hillary Clinton. Never mind that she had not been convicted &#8211; or even charged &#8211; with any crime. But even more interesting was Trump&#8217;s reply. He flatly denied that he ever said it.

Trump and his media and congressional minions are all equally culpable for the damage that they have done and are doing to the nation.
