On his godawful social media platform that be built because even Twitter thought he was too scummy:

>Page 2: NOW ILLEGAL LEAKS FROM A CORRUPT & HIGHLY POLITICAL MANHATTAN DISTRICT ATTORNEYS OFFICE, WHICH HAS ALLOWED NEW RECORDS TO BE SET IN VIOLENT CRIME & WHOSE LEADER IS FUNDED BY GEORGE SOROS, INDICATE THAT, WITH NO CRIME BEING ABLE TO BE PROVEN, & BASED ON AN OLD & FULLY DEBUNKED (BY NUMEROUS OTHER PROSECUTORS!) FAIRYTALE, THE FAR & AWAY LEADING REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE & FORMER PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, WILL BE ARRESTED ON TUESDAY OF NEXT WEEK. PROTEST, TAKE OUR NATION BACK!

One could argue "take our nation back" was just reinforcing the call to protest, but given the events of Jan 6th, I think it safe to suggest instead that it was another call to a coup.

  • Trump sexually assaulted dozens of young women and girls. And not only admitted it publicly but bragged about it. He was not arrested.
  • Trump used his wealth to campaign for the arrest and execution of five innocent men on no other basis than they were black and he still got away with it.
  • Trump collaborated with Russian government elements to have the election swayed in his favor and was not only not arrested, but was fucking elected president. Then when this was officially investigated later the evidence was ignored by half of Congress on the grounds of the law doesn't matter if they win an election.
  • Trump ordered a missile strike on an ostensibly allied country, extremely close to that country's international public airport, to assassinate a political figure from another nation. And didn't tell his allies he was having missiles launched in their country. And got away with it.
  • Trump refused to go to a ceremony honoring US war dead so he could meet in private with Putin. Without security or staff. And got away with it.
  • Trump publicly supported the Russian invasion of Ukraine. BOTH TIMES.
  • Trump met with Russian intelligence in the fucking oval office and exposed sensitive information about US allies; and nothing happened to him.
  • Trump riled up a mob and directed them to storm the capitol building to force an overturn of the election results; to wit, a coup. And got away with it.

Amazing what you can do when you have money and convince poor rural people you are one of them in spite of being neither poor nor rural.

You don't seem to understand what Wagner is. There is no conflict between Putin and Wagner's Prigozhin. Putin does not need to "smooth" any divide. Wagner Group is an extension of Putin himself. It exists only as a means to deny Russian involvement in the worst atrocities. It's all about the perception of a rogue and dangerously unaccountable military force, when in reality it does exactly what Putin wants.
