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

Donald Trump's many legal problems – and calls for protests – have generated new fears of political violence and anxiety about the 2024 election.

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?

Jack Smith's Request GRANTED

Jack Smith asked the court for permission to exceed the page limit for his immunity brief, and Judge Chutkan granted it while denying Trump's request to toss out the case entirely.

This is what Thiel and Musk have in mind - if Trump wins, they will use the 25th amendment to get him out and install Vance as POTUS.

Donald Trump started his career at the end of the 1970s, financed by his father Fred Trump. Over the years this transfer of wealth added up to around $500m in today’s money in gifts.

My rough calculations say that, had he simply taken the money, leveraged it not imprudently, and passively invested it in Manhattan real estate – gone to parties, womanised, played golf, collected his rent cheques and reinvested them – his fortune could have amounted to more than $80bn by the time he ascended to the presidency in 2017.

And yet Trump was not worth $80bn in 2017. Instead, Forbes pegged him at $2.5bn – which, given the difficulties of valuing and accounting for real estate, is really anything between $5bn (£4bn) and zero (or less).

It is in this sense that Pulitzer prize-winning New York Times reporters Russ Buettner and Susanne Craig call Trump a “loser”.

He is indeed one of the world’s biggest losers. By trying to run a business, rather than just kicking back and letting the rising tide of his chosen sector lift his wealth beyond the moon, he managed to destroy the vast majority of his potential net worth.

How he did that is what Buettner and Craig chronicle in a book dense with facts and figures, but punctuated with moments of irony and dark humour – particularly when contrasting Trump’s public bravado with the often pathetic reality of his money management.

The combination turns what might have been a rather boring tome, of interest only to trained financial professionals like me, into something of a page turner.

and Craig paint a picture of Trump’s businesses as “mirage, built on inherited wealth, shady deals, and a relentless pursuit of appearances over substance”.

And yet, Road Runner-like, he runs off the edge of the cliff, looks down, shrugs – and keeps going until his feet touch the ground again on the other side……

What is a "tourbillon" you ask? Well here is an explanation - pay attention to the very first line of explainer. I dont think it could be any more appropriate LOL

The tourbillon is a complication whose function is to separate a client from as much money as possible.

Okay, seriously. Gather 'round, children, and hear the tale of watchmaker Abraham Louis Breguet: Swiss-born, did biz in France with the aristos before and after the French Revolution, and invented more stuff before breakfast than most other watchmakers could in a lifetime (he made what was at the time the most complicated watch in the world, for Marie Antoinette, which she was unable to collect when it was finally finished, on account of by then having no head).
Breguet, and every other watchmaker then and now, knew that watches tend to run a little fast, or a little slow, depending on the position of the watch: Gravity tugs on the regulating components (mostly the balance and balance spring) differently whether the watch is crown up (as it would be in a pocket; wristwatches didn't exist 200 years ago) or in some other position.

His idea was this: Put the balance, balance spring, and escapement inside a rotating mechanical cage, and instead of a bunch of different rates in different positions, you'll get a single average rate in all positions. The average rate is the average for all the so-called vertical positions, and if you then adjust the rate of the watch when it's lying flat (on your ormolu-decorated dressing table in your château, par exemple) to match, why, theoretically you should have a perfect timekeeper. And this rotating gizmo is the tourbillon – the name refers to the rotation of the cage; it's French for "whirlwind." [\quote]

Donald Trump’s mass voter turnout program in crucial battleground states is now largely outsourced to America Pac, the political action committee backed by the billionaire Elon Musk, according to multiple people familiar with the situation.

The Trump campaign gambled with its general field operation for the 2024 cycle and outsourced it to Super Pacs, while it targeted its focus on turning out Trump supporters in rural areas who typically do not vote.

But while the Trump campaign once predicted having multiple Pacs drive the rest of the vote, with six weeks until the election, only America Pac has a material presence of 300 to 400 paid and part-time people knocking on doors in each of the seven battleground states, the people said.

America Pac also remains the only entity – Trump campaign or otherwise – with a target to do three “passes” of homes of likely Trump voters in every battleground state before election day.


Turning Point Action, run by the rightwing activist Charlie Kirk and touted by the Trump campaign, for instance, has a smaller footprint; it has a presence in Arizona, Wisconsin and two specific districts in Michigan and Nevada, after dropping Georgia from its initial list.

The situation means America Pac now accounts for an outsize proportion of the unglamorous but critical work of door-knocking and canvassing Trump voters in battleground states to get them to return a ballot.

Since the Trump campaign does not have its own mass field program – it has a new model of “Trump 47 Captains”, volunteers targeting likely Trump supporters who do not typically vote – the campaign has little backup if America Pac hits snags.……

Donald Trump, who earlier this month threatened to jail his political opponents, upped his authoritarian rhetoric during a campaign rally at Indiana University of Pennsylvania.

When speaking to supporters from the swing state, where both Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris have doubled efforts to capture the election count in November, Trump lamented the criticism aimed at the Supreme Court's conservative supermajority and said it should be "illegal."

"They were very brave, the Supreme Court. Very brave. And they take a lot of hits because of it," said the former president. "It should be illegal, what happens. You know, you have these guys like playing the ref, like the great Bobby Knight. These people should be put in jail the way they talk about our judges and our justices, trying to … sway their vote, sway their decision"

Trump, who appointed three of the Supreme Court's six conservative justices, specifically praised the Supreme Court for overturning Roe v. Wade and allowing states to ban abortion, saying it "took a lot of courage." He said abortion will forever remain a state issue, not a federal one, and complained that Democrats are upset about it. "All they can talk about is abortion. That's all they talk about, and it really no longer pertains," he said.

"The issue of reproductive freedom certainly ‘pertains' to women all across this country, especially as we learn women are losing their lives under Donald Trump's extreme abortion bans," Harris campaign spokesperson Sarafina Chitika said in statement after his speech.

The former president also slammed Harris' support for Supreme Court reform and baselessly claimed her efforts were an attempt to "rig the system." The push for reform arrived after a series of ethics scandals involving some of the justices' failure to disclose luxury gifts - private jet flights, superyacht trips, and more - from conservative donors. Trump claimed Harris "wants to pack the Supreme Court," and add up to 16 seats; the vice president has not endorsed such a policy.

Trump's remarks about jailing those criticizing judges and justices align with his previous sentiments that he would be a dictator if re-elected but only on "Day One" in office. His desire to squash any hint of opposition if he were to return to the White House was again on full display in a Truth Social post made in early September, during which he threatened to jail people "involved in unscrupulous behavior" this election.............

A prominent House Democrat is introducing legislation Friday that would prevent former President Donald Trump from dismissing his ongoing criminal prosecutions if he were to win the presidency again.

The new bill, shared exclusively with TIME ahead of its release, is being led by Rep. Adam Schiff, the Democratic nominee for California’s Senate seat who has been a leading Trump antagonist.

He says his bill, which would prevent a sitting President from quashing a criminal prosecution against him or herself, aims to ensure that no President can use their position to evade accountability.

“This is about protecting our democracy and ensuring a President can’t place themselves above the law,” Schiff tells TIME in a statement. “There is every indication that Donald Trump will use the Justice Department to do away with any effort to hold him accountable.”

There’s a reason Schiff feels urgency to introduce the bill now. Trump is currently facing multiple criminal prosecutions, including charges related to his alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election results. “The need for swift passage of this bill could become even more pressing,” Schiff says, “depending on the outcome of the election.”……..

It’s DOA unfortunately.

 

[LA - L.A.]

It’s DOA unfortunately.

It's unlikely to pass, but if Schiff can get it to the floor for a vote, then Republicans there will be a record of the Republicans who voted against it. That could help in some of the close House races.
