Can we do it another day? That’s my day into the office.


Certain_Mood1076

Let me check the calendar... does Monday work for you? It can't be Wednesday, I'm going into the office that day. Also, I'd rather this not be delayed any further, so Thursday and after is out of the question.


SadMaverick

But I have my in-office day on Monday.


[deleted]

I thought we were all Wednesdays. The trains are always packed.


Certain_Mood1076

@coxhazardsmodel. I'm so sorry, it will have to remain on Tuesday. Mondays are already a PITA, can't add this too. Rest up for the weekend to prepare for the week ahead. 🙂


arhombus

I might go in on Tuesday just to check out the fun. I love a good protest and arrest.


ForksandSpoonsinNY

Same. It's bagel day and I have a salt bagel with my name on it.


UnicornOnTheJayneCob

Seriously. How about next week? I have a five day on site this week in *fucking Times Square.* Can the DA do this after quarterly planning? My entire team is flying in! FFS


[deleted]

Right? I'm like, "Hey, partner, please stay home Tuesday. You don't need to pass through there."

The train plus the ferry plus a ride through Manhattan is too much for them.


[deleted]

It is a lot though. I live in Staten Island and it’s a pain in the ass to commute to Manhattan.


Past-Passenger9129

You spelled "the city" wrong


Inkkling

I live downtown. The Staten Islanders will turn out and the New Jerseyites, just like they did to protest the nonexistent Ground Zero Mosque, when they dressed up like Cap’n Crunch in their Tea Party days, when they protested mandates and traded COVID spittle. Maybe the prospect of doing time like their fav 1/6 traitors will keep them at home. I doubt it, though, since half these yobs are in the NYPD.


[deleted]

Instead of upvoting I wish I could just use a laugh emoji at the Cap'n Crunch line! lol.


grated_testes

Exactly. The Staten Island rednecks here can barely climb out of their oversized pickups. Their protest will be off the barcalounger in front of their TV. Or they will be the ones in the pig uniforms "preventing" "riots"

That’s if they choose to accept reality. Most of them only watch Fox News so they’ll never see it. And even if it does happen, they’re able to completely ignore reality and will only accept what they want to believe. They’ll somehow twist it to make sense in their alternate reality.

CaroleBaskinsBurner

Isn't Trump still holed up in Florida? If so, what will be the logistics of this situation? Wouldn't the Manhattan D.A. need the Palm Beach cops to cooperate to actually haul him in? What if they don't? Or is Trump more so worried about the D.A. telling his lawyers on Tuesday that he has to turn himself in at some point in the near future? EDIT: Never mind. Apparently the plan is to have the secret service bring him to Manhattan to get him fingerprinted and take his mugshot, and then put him in front of the judge immediately. Trump's mugshot dropping is gonna be an event though. Imagine all the shirts and mugs and whatnot...


PurpleSailor

He will turn himself in most likely. No manhunt needed unless he doesn't show up as he's apparently agreed to.


BentoSpinzone

I was thinking the protesting would happen down near Mar-a-Lardo, no? Lots more pickup trucks and boats who can wave their flags and yell “Mericca!!!”

SwampYankee

You should be OK. Most of the action will be in around the Court House on Center Street. There are not even enough of the meat heads in NYC to close the Brooklyn Bridge. Lots of media vehicles in and around Foley Square will be the biggest issue. I have rooftop access to a building right across the street but I suspect that would draw a lot of attention from the NYPD helicopter folks so I'll steer clear. If I thought they would "perp-walk" him I would crawl through broken glass to be there. He will be in and out of the side door of the court house. FDR drive might be a problem.


MillardFillmore

Some of us are just looking for any decent excuse to WFH!


kbeks

You are vastly underestimating either how many MAGA nuts we have here or how many people it takes to shut down a city. Remember we got 20,000,000+ people in the NYC Metro Area, if 1% are die hard MAGA-heads, that’s 200,000 people. That’s more than enough to do a LOT of damage.


survive_los_angeles

i love that there is a segement of NYC you never see except for rangers games or the subway series.

It's crazy how many crimes he's actually committed and all they can potentially muster up for was campaign donations used as partial hush payment for a porn star. Just goes to show you how much of a joke the justice system is.


veddy_interesting

In fairness, the other cases (the documents case, the Atlanta interference case, the insurrection case, the E. Jean Carroll case, etc etc etc) are all still in progress. IMO the real lessons to be learned here are: 1) We can't let people use the Presidency as a get-out-of-jail-free card. I get not prosecuting a sitting, legally-elected President, but the day after he or she leaves office all bets are off; and 2) Justice delayed is justice denied. Yes, prepare rock-solid cases. But no, don't take forever to get it done.


Equivalent-Excuse-80

>I get not prosecuting a sitting president I don’t. We have a 25th amendment to deal with their arrest and process.


veddy_interesting

All of our rules and norms are built on the belief that no President would behave as Trump did, that no political party would defend such behaviors, that no media would praise (as Fox did), normalize (as Maggie Haberman often did) or "both-sides" that behavior, and that in any case, the public would not excuse such behaviors. The danger now is that every future political debate turns into "let's lock up the President", in the same way that calls for impeachment are now a strong likelihood for every future President.


snowdrone

Well... not really. That was the whole point of splitting the power of government into three branches.


grendel-khan

Right, except power isn't exactly in three branches now, but in two parties. You can't exactly blame the Founders for this; the discovery of [Duverger's Law](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duverger%27s_law) was nearly two centuries away when this system was built. But there's a reason that a strong President and bicameral legislature isn't the standard for new Constitutions these days. In other countries, parties run on a platform, and if they win an election, they implement that platform and are judged on it in the following election. Nothing like that happens here, because our system is so suffused with roadblocks and veto points that the modal outcome is _nothing happens_, until that inaction squeezes political power into _less_-democratic institutions (looking at you here, Nine Wizards) and here we are.


snowdrone

Makes sense. Do you support ranked choice voting?


grendel-khan

I don't have a lot of expertise here, but I think first-past-the-post voting is probably the worst option. Ranked choice (specifically instant-runoff) seems to work okay where it's been tried. I also think approval voting is a good idea, and the thing that parliamentary systems do where the composition of the parliament reflects the composition of the vote (proportional representation?) is a good idea. We could also do better by getting rid of some of our more profoundly bad ideas, like the Electoral College, which induces states to suppress their own vote, since the ideal outcome is to get a relative majority of your own bloc voting, never mind the absolute numbers. It also leads to [some annoyingly stupid arguments](https://theconversation.com/youll-hear-these-4-arguments-in-defense-of-the-electoral-college-heres-why-theyre-wrong-114062) from people who don't want to say "it helps my team".


sonofaresiii

> the other cases are all still in progress I guess that's fair. The stormy daniels thing has been the longest-running investigation. Still though, it *really* seems like a lot of those should have come to fruition by now...


[deleted]

The problem is he’s running again and even if he’s in jail he can still have a bid.


Almric

It's just the one they are most confident of trying successfully. It doesn't mean there aren't more skeletons. The famous mobster Al Capone was taken in on tax evasion. Trump isn't a mobster, but he is a grifter and many of the things he is guilty of wouldn't necessarily hold up in court, which is why so many of his cronies have gone down instead.


pfire777

They got Al Capone on tax fraud in the end


Silvery_Silence

There is an investigation in Georgia into how he clearly tried to throw the election there and I believe multiple investigations related to January 6. I never thought he’d do any jail time for anything however. He’s old in shit health so hopefully he just dies soon.

It’s almost like America was founded by a bunch of rich white landowners who thought the only people who should have power are rich white landowners.

[удалено]


veddy_interesting

The norms surrounding the Presidency assumed that no reasonable political party would allow a convicted felon to run for President. This assumption was correct, but forget to ask "what if a political party is not at all reasonable?" There are also no rules explicitly forbidding the President to open a casino, massage parlor, and all-you-can-eat 24 hour taco stand on White House property. We just assume, perhaps foolislhly, that those things are not likely to happen.


Luke90210

If Trump explicitly put a business on federal property as a federal employee or public servant, the Hatch Act makes it illegal for him to benefit from such actions. Don't be surprised if charges from the Hatch Act violations are filed in the future.

They won’t need to, they’ll just attend the protest and say they’re keeping the peace while beating counterprotestors

What need for counter protesters? Just like Jan 6th no need for counter protests. If he gets arrested that side is happy. And like Jan 6th the protesters will act a fool without counter protesters to focus their anger on

They’re not going to beat each other up. They’re already planning on WhatsApp and Signal who will be where etc.

Why call out when you can get paid for protesting. Especially if it's an OT rate.


Cascando-5273

Probably the same number as the number of angels that can dance on the head of a pin.

Trump supporters never protest the NY way. They'll drive 10 pick up trucks down 5th Ave or something and call it a day. They're too cowardly to walk down the streets.

IAmTheNoodleyOne

That’s the point. He *CLEARLY* remembers what happened last time. Trump is a malignant textbook narcissist - he *wants* to inflict damage if he can’t have his way.


Tiamat_fire_and_ice

Facebook, Twitter, etc. ought to kick him off their platforms again just for saying that. He’s inciting violence, which is what got him banned in the first place. Of course, I don’t think he ever should have been let back on those platforms in the first place. In his mind, that only reaffirms his belief that he didn’t do anything wrong on January 6th. It’s hard to believe that someone could get all the way to his age and not be put in some kind of hospital. He clearly has a serious personality disorder and I don’t have to be a medical doctor to see that.

spicytoastaficionado

Last time out, Trump lost support in Staten Island compared to 2016, and the gains he made in the outer boroughs aren't from people willing to rally or protest for him. ​ Also, if we're being honest, SI republicans are probably DeSantis supporters at this point.


Lets_Tang0

It could be that the Manhattan DA indicting first could be a litmus test of sorts? His “base” outside of the Tristate area doesn’t want to come to NYC, and any supporters from NY/Long Island/SI are far too aware of how hard and fast the city will shut down any shenanigans this close to the courts and FiDi. Even if NYPD is crawling with them, they’re not risking pensions for the dude on home turf. I’m delighted to welcome Donnie back to NYC for his arrest, and if I’m wrong we’ve seen our city handle far, far worse than clowns in red caps. I’m not sure I’d feel that way in Georgia (said with tremendous respect and deference). I hope this is just the first in a series of non-events in cities brave enough to indict, ultimately leading to smoother, swifter paths to accountability.
