    Anxiety surges as Donald Trump may be indicted soon: Why 2024 is 'the final battle' and 'the big one'​


    WASHINGTON – It looks like American politics is entering a new age of anxiety, triggered by an unprecedented legal development: The potential indictment of a former president and current presidential candidate.

    Donald Trump's many legal problems – and calls for protests by his followers – have generated new fears of political violence and anxiety about the unknowable impact all this will have on the already-tense 2024 presidential election


    I’ll reframe this is a more accurate way, Are Presidents above the law? This new age was spurred into existence when home grown dummies elected a corrupt, mentally ill, anti-democratic, would be dictator as President and don’t bother to hold him responsible for his crimes, don’t want to because in the ensuing mayhem and destruction, they think they will be better off. The man is actually advocating violence (not the first time). And btw, screw democracy too. If this feeling spreads, we are In deep shirt.

    This goes beyond one treasonous Peice of work and out to all his minions. This is on you or should we be sympathetic to the idea of they can’t help being selfish suckers to the Nation’s detriment? Donald Trump is the single largest individual threat to our democracy and it‘s all going to boil down to will the majority of the GOP return to his embrace and start slinging his excrement to support him?
     
    Meanwhile Trump is sounding ever more desperate and panicky. Maybe it dawns on his tiny brain that the people trying to kill him are definitely not liberals or progressives. They’re GOP, or right of center.


    Props to Brad for the LEEEEEEEEEEEEEEROOOYYYYYYYYY JEEEEEEEEENNKKIIIIIIIINSSSSSS reference!!!

    This means nothing to the MAGA Cult, but the rest of us knows this more accurately describe trump's alleged assailants:

    Good find - the Secret Service has been asking Trump not to golf on his courses since he was President, and he won’t listen to them. IMO, he wants the money that comes in when he golfs there as opposed to spending money to golf at more secure locations.

     
    So if they don’t find any statements from Routh that he wanted to kill Trump, and he isn’t talking per the FBI, what crime was committed (other than possible gun charges)? I say possible because I don’t know if him having that gun is illegal in FL or not.

    He didn’t fire his weapon, even when fired upon, seemed to have been camped in that spot all night. There was no public knowledge that Trump would even be there. He never got close enough to see Trump. Maybe trespassing and illegal gun possession?

    How will he be prosecuted? (All this assuming there isn’t anything in his devices to indicate a plan).

    Maybe they cannot find anything? I know they need charges to hold him. But they must not have any immediate proof of what he intended to do?

     
    Donald Trump has lost a legal battle with the singer Eddy Grant over using his 1983 song Electric Avenue in a 2020 ad without permission.

    The 40-second clip – an animation of Joe Biden travelling in a railroad cart while a Trump-Pence campaign train passes at high speed – was viewed more than 13.7m times on Twitter before it was removed, according to Grant’s lawsuit.

    The video was originally posted to Trump’s personal Twitter account on 12 August 2020 as the Republican president campaigned in his second, unsuccessful presidential election. Grant’s lawyers immediately sent a cease and desist letter, but the video was not removed until Grant sued on 1 September.…….

     
    The president of the California firefighters’ union slammed Donald Trump on Friday for suggesting he would withold federal firefighting aid if the state didn’t go along with his political priorities.

    “Former President Trump should be ashamed for threatening to withhold federal firefighting aid from California should he be elected,” California Professional Firefighters president Brian K. Rice wrote in a statement on Facebook on Friday.

    “As of today, thousands of firefighters are on the front lines responding to wildfiresthroughout the state, and countless Californians are in harm’s way as they heed evacuation orders,” he added. “Nevertheless, former President Trump expressed that he would play with their lives and their homes if he doesn’t get what he wants.”

    Earlier that day, Trump tore into California and its governor Gavin Newsom, whom the former president refers to as “Newscum,” over the state’s water policies, which have come under fire from farmers in red-leaning areas.……


     
    Don’t worry, he was just joking!

    No, you twatwaffle. Jokes become way less funny when hard men in black suits come to talk with you.
     
    Robert Nix, a 62-year-old lawyer from Philadelphia, was a lifelong Republican before Donald Trump came to office. He’s voted red in every election since he turned 18, and things were no different in 2016 when he voted for the GOP candidate.

    But Nix quickly felt he had made a mistake. He was bothered by Trump’s boisterous comments and attacks on freedom of the press. By the time the next election rolled around in 2020, Nix put aside his ideological differences with President Joe Biden and voted Democrat for the first time in his life.

    “I wasn't happy about it, but I didn't see any choice,” Nix said in an interview with Salon. This year, he’s encouraging others to do the same.

    Nix is one of hundreds of Republicans sharing their experience in the hopes it will resonate with center-right voters in swing states like Pennsylvania. He is part of Republican Voters Against Trump (RVAT), a $3.5 million ad campaign started by Defending Democracy Together, an advocacy organization for conservatives "dedicated to defending America’s democratic norms, values, and institutions."

    In 2020, the same group launched a similar project, dubbed Republican Accountability, to share testimonials from conservative voters on their decision not to vote for Trump and encourage others to vote blue.

    This year's campaign has the same objective: to use personal stories to reach center-right voters in battleground states who are concerned about Trump but hesitant to vote Democratic for the first time.

    “The campaign is a community of these voters who feel politically homeless, who need a new home, who want to reject Donald Trump, but don't necessarily identify as Democrats,” John Conway, RVAT's director of strategy, said in an interview with Salon.

    RVAT’s website has over 300 recorded testimonies from former-Trump voters who are voting Democrat this time around. Voters share the dangers of a second Trump term and encourage other conservatives to vote for Vice President Kamala Harris. Many of the testimonies, including Nix’s, are also on billboards and streaming service ads in Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin.

    Kyle Sweetser, a 35-year-old construction worker and father of two from Mobile, Ala., voted for Trump in both 2016 and 2020. As a small business owner in the South, Sweetser liked that Trump was "business minded" and thought he would bring a fresh perspective to the Oval Office..............
