24. You keep saying that. Trump is threatening them with death & destruction. Hasn't that gotten thru to you at all?

Trump’s insane MAGA’s — my gods, do the names Ruby Freeman and Shay Moss ring a bell?

People in this country who get pointed out by Trump find themselves doxxed and SWATed. They have to go into hiding, change their kids’ schools. Is there any 15 minutes of fame that’s worth that?

The jury did the right thing. The jurors were brave. Now they should keep their heads down, invest in some home security devices, and hope nobody leaks their names.
