20. There will be a Night of the Long Knives

Mon Jan 6, 2025, 08:20 PM

Monday

Despite the quiet surrender of most Democrats in the Congress, Trump will have his Night of the Long Knives. It might not be abductions and executions, as it was when Hitler consolidated power, but it will come. With luck it will just be in the form of using the “justice” system to meet out punishment. You know, charge everybody with everything. Use the courts to tie up and bankrupt Schiff, Pelosi, and every other outspoken Dem.

It’s said that a good prosecutor can get a grand jury to indict a ham sandwich (Merrick Garland not withstanding). I look for spurious felony charges that will allow the Rethugs to arrest and arraign their enemies. I wonder how many House Dems and other prominent Democrats see jail time in their futures? You can be sure they won’t get the kid glove treatment Trump got when he was arrested and mug shorted.

Yes, the Night of the Long Knives is coming. We just don’t know exactly what it will look like yet.
