This is no longer an "FBI pick". It's a choice to try and use people to circumvent the laws to enact revenge.

Call me spooky, but I 100% believe that once the ceremony is over, Trump will try and have Biden in cuffs and/or executed right there at the inauguration. He's been saying it is something he wants to do. There is literally nobody to stop him.

Tell me I'm wrong here.

I just took a look at the list and it looks like a pretty tall order to me. I think the targets are so high profile that there’s a chance that if he goes after even one, it’ll drag out for a long time.

We’re talking about people who currently control pro Republican news networks and stuff like that in some cases. How’s he going to get anything like that done with a wing of Republican propaganda suddenly turning against him?

These networks are a large part of why Republicans escape accountability. Like it or not they have to work within that framework - especially if they decide they don’t want to work within a legal framework. Consent of the governed isn’t negotiable, and while they’ve proven they can get that through propaganda, they haven’t proven they can do without it.

I’m not saying you’re wrong though. I’m just saying if he tries to follow through it’ll be far more of an undertaking than he imagines, and several of those targets could actually sabotage Trump if they thought it were necessary for self preservation.

Far more likely that targets get taken out in accidents, and not anyone on any well known lists.

Your wrong, it's a big club and Biden is in it.

bet? they'll at least arrest Hunter.

The dogs need meat. Red meat.

No the media will steer everyone to next outage/diversion until the public coffers are empty and the planet burned.

Nah man. He's got to feed the beasts. You don't feed dogs before a hunt (the election), if you don't feed them after, they hunt you.

[-] droporain@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 3 weeks ago

Lol ok how long is your hypothetical hunt for hunter going to end in an arrest?

[-] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

The MAGA base came for blood. They'll get it one way or another.

If you believe your thesis to be true, return to my first comment.

Bet.

Remind me in 3 years. Biden will not be a big deal just "thanks Obama"

[-] figjam@midwest.social 3 points 3 weeks ago

Biden is old news and in Trumps eye a loser. He will pivot to a more relevant target like Chuck Schumer or AOC.

[-] Maggoty@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

A list of enemies. It's the fucking 1950's all over again.

[-] aramis87@fedia.io 4 points 3 weeks ago

The most notable names I saw they're were Paul Ryan, Bill Barr, John Bolton, Pat Cipollone, Mark Esper, and Jeff Sessions.
