Are they actually going to have the spine to throw his ass in jail if he misses the payment? How long do you have to be poor before they start enforcing the law?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 9 months ago

Property seizure, I think.

[–] Madison420 7 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Didn't throw him in jail that would cause riots. Start seizing property and auction it publicly.

[–] ghostdoggtv 19 points 9 months ago (1 children)

He's going to incite riots either way. Let's be honest.

[–] Madison420 6 points 9 months ago (3 children)

Doubtful, the easiest way to collapse a cult of personality is to have cult tear them apart. In this case his fanatic fanbase will bleed him dry to own something he owned, imagine if a neo Nazi could have owned Hitler's brush while Hitler lived. They would legit never shut the duck up about it and would brag to everyone, same things applies here.

Sure, that's a different claim though. This person claims riots to have already occurred because of it, to wit - where?

[–] ghostdoggtv 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

That other person argued that the riots already occurred and you falsely dismissed them. It was my position that he's going to call for riots whether his property gets seized or not, and I'll add that he can't do it as effectively if he's in a 6x10 cell without any of his personal possessions with him.

He might call for them, he does for everything. The difference being people will go to the auction to buy his shit, can't do that at a riot and say for instance it does turn to a riot or would be at his property and they would be stealing his shit. To wit - have at why even wait for the auction, that fucks kids got over 2billion while he was in office so take it back if you feel like it.

Really? That's an easy answer...

[–] Madison420 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Presumably you mean Jan 6th which a. Happened before b. I'd a different situation though both could likely be disarmed the same way.

[–] HoustonHenry 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

You presume correctly, anything else you have to say is irrelevant

[–] Madison420 1 points 9 months ago

Well thank you for your input however wrong it might be.

[–] ghostdoggtv 1 points 9 months ago

No offense but that argument is goofy at best

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

I don't think jail is on the table because it's a civil case. Instead, they would begin to seize property and assets.
