trump shouldn't know what day it's happening. This pisses me off to no end.

And yeah, neither should we. We should wake up to the news of it, or it should be breaking news during the day, when without notice, authorities do what needs to happen.

Now that piece of shit is trying to cause violence.

I get it, trump's lawyers are talking to authorities and that's why we know that trump so graciously agreed to not personally "resist" but either from such conversations or unwarranted courtesy, it's clear that he was informed of the day and that is fucked up.

It it were someone with less of a platform or influence, fine, but this is reckless.

I bet law enforcement told the SS to keep them in the loop and one of his Uber-loyal SS gave it up to #Traitor

because there has been no indictment yet. And if it had happened he would have been told in advance because that's how it's always done.

And that’s where this rumor started.

A professional courtesy call was made and one of his loyalists spilled the beans on the likely date

Competitor in the election, would help him stay away from law enforcement? Only way that would happen is if Ronnie was sure y the law would storm Mara Lardo and kill drump.

so that his thugs could organize another riot. It's common procedure for prosecutors to arrange for a particular future date and time for a defendant to turn himself in after an indictment has been issued, so there's nothing special about that - if it's what actually happened. But AFAIK there hasn't been an indictment yet because one more witness is testifying on Monday. If so, it's possible that an indictment could come out on Tuesday and arrangements are being made in the normal course of business for TFG to appear in court on that day for booking. Whether or not that's true, his announcement that Tuesday is the big day was clearly made for the purpose of stirring up the MAGAts.

People say believe half of what you see
Son, and none of what you hear
But I can't help but be confused
If it's true please tell me dear
Do you plan to let me go
For the other guy you loved before?

They’ve already negotiated his surrender and we’re told when to expect the indictment. This is normal in high profile cases.

As such, I would expect that the indictment and surrender would be choreographed. This might be him wanting to be the one putting the story out. However, if he thinks people will think he is controlling the narrative, he's crazy. The BIG story will be the indictment and hopefully any secondary stories of disturbances will be small.

Then again, this could just be Trump causing chaos. Then when Tuesday comes and goes, he claims that it was because of support he has.

My first thought was that he's making it up. Tuesday was always his go-to day for lying when he was in office.
