If you're not going to carry out your threat, why make the call anyway?

 Nearly two weeks ago, Abigail Jo Shry of Alvin, Texas called in a death threat directly to Judge Tanya Chutkan. Shry, after being arrested, told investigators she probably wasn't going to carry out the threat after all, which suggests she wanted to scare Chutkan into dismissing the case against former president Donald Trump.


Shry also threatened a Houston Democrat, Sheila Jackson Lee, and the entire LGTBQ community.

This is what people who bow at the altar of Trump will do for their false god. If it can be proven that Shry was just looking to scare Chutkan with her threat, and, essentially, knew what she was doing, a prison sentence would be likely. A lot of Trump supporters are being characterized in the media as being unhinged and deranged, much like Trump himself has been portrayed. As he puts on an act, so do they, such that it's hard to tell who's really got their marbles in place or not.

What Shry and others like her don't realize is that they're blindly following a con man who won't spend a dime, despite claims to the contrary, to help them if they get into legal trouble. Take, for example, the financial quagmire lawyers Jenna Ellis & Rudy Goofiani have gotten themselves into after their indictments earlier this week, if you believe some of those clickbait channels.

At this point, there are two kinds of Trump supporters. The gullible types who need to justify their own gripes with the government and will blindly follow Trump, and the ones disengaged from reality who potentially are a danger to themselves. Those are the ones who need psychiatric treatment yesterday. A deprogramming center would be needed to open in virtually all 50 states, including here in NY, to bring these people out of 8 years and counting of brainwashing.

Now, we just have to figure out how to classify the Washington Idiot Squad, whose membership includes the likes of Empty-G, Fibber Jordan, Goofy Gosar, Rusty Gaetz, and Screwy Louie Goemert. Are they blindly following Trump to further their careers? Or are they just that gullible?

I think the politicians know what they are doing and know they have painted themselves into a corner unloess their guy wins in 2024. It is sort of a hail mary pass on their part. Politics is not a game for the feint of heart.

Politics is cultural. I should be a Trumper. I'm not. There are many I have grown up with who have seen him as morally corrupt and unfit to be President. And there are those that feel he is being picked on and buy into his rhetoric. Trump is able to tap into something with these people. Many of them of are truly good people. Trump has also gotten a free ride with many conservative Christians. As Shylock said in Shakespeare's Merchant of Venice, "the devil can quote the Bible for his own end."

Those that call in threats are nothing but criminals. I have more sympathy for their families than them. A bully has to be stood up to.

A local pastor I know talks about leaving baggage at the cross when one becomes a Christian. Trump hasn't, and yet has bamboozled so many into believing he is God's chosen one when he never was. Now, after a carefully cultivated public image collapsed while he was in office, Trump has been exposed as an insecure little boy who never grew up. A Negative Peter Pan, if you will.
