      Well if you or I made veiled threats we would be imprisoned while awaiting trial for violating the terms of our release on personal recognizance. My question is what happens if someone else is injured or killed as his violent rhetoric once again escalates. Will he be held to account for that, or will the court act in an attempt to prevent that? It remains to be seen, but I firmly believe that if he causes any more violence they will be forced to detain him in house arrest at a minimum.

        Any normal person charged with 60+ felonies would be held without bond. Trump unfortunately doesn’t really deal with the same punishment conventions

        To be honest I’m shocked we’ve gotten this far in charging him

          He’s just taking advantage of what’s already granted to people in these positions of power, it’s just more absurd because it’s Trump.
