This is your GOP America. They will do anything to win! It’s Par for the Course now because their leader has been Cheating his whole life and getting away with it! He’s their Role Model.
Following Tuesday’s election results,
Heather Cox Richardson wrote: Yesterday in Mississippi, where at least nine precincts in Democratic-leaning Hinds County ran out of ballots. The most populous county in the state, Hinds County is 70% Black and includes the city of Jackson, which is almost 83% Black. Officials rushed to print more ballots, but the lines ballooned. After a judge tried to remedy the situation by extending the voting hours in the county by an hour, the Republican Party of Mississippi fought that order. Needless to say, Jonathan Tate Reeves was re-elected Governor of Mississippi.
Trump's plan is right out of the 'playbook" of "How to turn a democratic republic into a fascist dictatorship." (OK, I made up that title) As his niece has said, "He'll burn the entire government down to keep himself out of jail." What his corporate puppet masters don't seem to understand is after he's "burned it all down" and the American economy is in "tatters," they will be part of the "residue." It's already going to take years to recover from "Trumpism," although, so far, President Biden has done a good (probably great) job of countering Trump's first four years (It will take a generation to recover from the additions to the Supreme Court as it is) although if "we the people" are STUPID enough to give Trump another four years (he will interpret it as a lifetime appointment) the result, in my view, beyond the attempt at a fascist "takeover," will be the next "great depression," (Now that I think about it, Trump is likely viewing his outcome in 2024 to be a "lifetime appointment" one way or the other)
Trump has to be elected first. That is unlikely to happen. If Biden moves for immigration reform he will remove the only reason people would ever think of for voting for Trump. Biden is already tightening up the southern border. Furthermore, the anti-immigration chorus from the Blue North (NYC, Massachusetts, Illinois) will give Biden the cover he needs to revise the Immigration Act. Also, most Americans are unlikely to support a person convicted of trying to subvert the US Constitution. This is where the Georgia trial comes in. Trump is likely to be found guilty. Finally, those Americans who respect only power and wealth will desert Trump when New York State revokes his business permits and fines him for fraud. This will happen shortly.
Trump doesn’t need to plan. He expected to lose the first time but would gain a bump for his retainer for The Apprentice.
But damned if he didn’t win anyway. He knew he could do his main job, be a dickhead and lie a lot. But he had the Heritage Foundation and other rightwing players choose his judges, justices, and cabinet so he could spend more time playing golf.
This time he’s only running so he can end DOJ cases against him in the nick of time. The Heritage Foundation will again stock his cabinet and administration full of yes-men.
Somehow, however, he’s gonna have to come up with new catchphrases because “rigged elections” and “four more years” won’t work
Glad you’re on the job, Robert. Definitely terrifying looking at the devious minds plotting to place their puppet back on his pedestal. Please keep reminding us of the danger ahead if we splinter our sanity coalition.
Bannon, Flynn and Stone are peripheral players. The architect of " the final solution" is that Nazi Stephen Miller and I do not use these words lightly nor to drum up an emotion reaction. When VP Harris was still a Senator she tried to expose and hold him accountable for his virulent white supremacist ideology and connections to hate groups. He wrote all of trump's speeches btw and wisely got cosy with Kushner becoming his BFF.
Hiding behind his lineage as a jew his own family denounced him. He is the most dangerous and effective maga. The fact that he walked away with no accountability is as revolting as Kushner walking away unscathed and vastly wealthier.
It looks as though an important part of the Democratic campaign for 2024 will be to discourage complacency, and encourage potential or actual supporters of Biden to make the effort to get out to vote and save their country from Fascism!
The third party idiots who are going to help Trum win are the scary ones. Now we have Manchin, who makes me sick. He and his corrupt family.. the Democrats have got to be fighting harder. Biden is a wonderful president.
How can the decent people preempt this plan? trump takes everything to court. He lies, delays, cheats... How is trump not in jail right now for the classified documents scandal? A future with Stone, Flynn, Bannon thinking and planning terrifies me. Extremist Theocratic tyranny? With the uber-rich oligarchs and wannabe plutocrats plotting and supporting a coup where they gain at everyone else's expense. Argh! Scary to me that the players and pieces seem to be coming together! In broad daylight except for what we cannot see...
"He will also pardon himself from any and all federal criminal charges, even though it’s far from clear that the Constitution permits it."
See, it's equivocating phrasings like this one that add to the gaslit smog the public is forced to walk through daily. By saying it is "far from clear" you appear to leave room for doubt of your own statement, some credence to the illogical notion that the Constitution might allow for an individual to put himself above itself. No sir. "No one is above the law" is our given. Let me rephrase your statement: "even though it would be unconstitutional and unlawful for DT to try to pardon himself." That would amount to arrogating for himself the powers of a king. We don't allow kings here. Repeat to his face.
A second trump presidency would be the end of the United States as we have known it. Chaos, as Mr. Reich so soundly stated, will be the norm and not the unusual. Federal employees will be fired if they do not support the lunatic and untrained people will re place them, if the government can find replacements.
I'll take Grandpa Biden over the lunatic and his minions for Gramps has the experience, the knowledge and compassion to govern the United States in a democratic way.
We can’t even think there’s a possibility TFG could win re-election! I can only think about all his trials & hope he is convicted & sent to n prison where he certainly belongs. I think we need to be more worried about those 3rd Party candidates accidentally causing tRump to win the Electoral College & especially now that fake Dem, Joe Manchin will resign from the Senate & pursue something along the lines of throwing his hat in the Presidential voting ring!
Hopefully, more Blue states will seek to keep tRump off the ballot via Amendment 14 which will take away many votes that could possibly return him to the White House!
IMHO, every effort must be taken to keep him away from DC forever! I won’t let myself think about him winning a Presidential bid & everyone else should think positively in that regard!
Basically, Trump wants to make the US government his own private corporation. Now that we know Trump isn't as rich as he says he is, the first thing he will do is get "his" people in Congress to ratchet up the President's pay to several million a year. And start accepting bribes for presidential acts. Then, try to make the FBI his own private service to go after people he doesn't like. Sounds like the Dark Ages of Europe.
However, the more he says these unhinged things, the more he drives away people who might have supported him, even staunch GOPers who realize they would be electing a vindictive, spoiled child.

I am sorry but I truly do not understand why a convicted rapist (or anything else) can run for President.
Work on that before everything else.
Trump is Putin’s useful idiot!
