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?

An official White House news release has gained attention for the choice of language used in it.

In a government website article titled ‘Yes, Biden Spent Millions on Transgender Animal Experiments’, the White House claimed former President Joe Biden spent millions on ‘making mice transgender’.

‘The Fake News losers at CNN immediately tried to fact check it, but President Trump was right (as usual),’ the White House wrote.

The press release came just hours after President Trump’s speech to Congress, in which he focused on what he called ‘wasteful’ spending of American tax dollars.

But the language used in the White House’s official release about this ‘waste’ has raised a few eyebrows. ‘Does a middle schooler run the White House website?’ one X user wrote.

Another added: ‘Never have I ever read such an atrociously unprofessional sentence. Not even feigning professionalism or unbiased at this point.’

Past US governments have had their own forms of language – with President Bush, ‘frank and folksy’ language was normal – but not in official documents and releases, historian and propaganda analyst Ian Garner told Metro.

‘That’s not the case with Trump anymore. The boundaries between institutions and politicians are ‘completely collapsing’, Mr Garner said.

‘It’s fairly well-established fact by academic research that when the state starts to talk in a particular kind of language, ordinary citizens start to talk in that language too,’ he added.

‘People at the “top” start to talk in this language too, often to the point where they can’t tell the difference between their “real language” and the language of the state.

‘We saw that in Soviet Russia, we saw that in Nazi Germany. You name the state, the more control the state has, the more the state can barrage people with this kind of language, the more it changes the way that citizens begin to frame their own perceptions as well.’

Citing the recent White House release, Mr Garner said ‘This sort of language sounds as if it could have come from one of Trump’s own social media posts – and it will become more and more normal.

‘We’re seeing it from the press officers, other politicians.

‘Reality is shaped by that language and I think we’re in for quite a wild ride in that we’re at a point where the American government – at least the institutions of the American government – can’t reliably be expected to publish material that is true and is based on reality.’...............



Asking MAGA to have the attention span to understand the difference between transgenic and transgender is much too tall a task from the start.
 
Fiona Hill, a former National Security Council staffer who served with President Donald Trump during his first term, tells Foreign Affairs that her one-time boss is utterly clueless when he has high-stakes meetings with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

During a lengthy interview on Foreign Affairs' official podcast, Hill recalled Trump talking with Putin one time and being absolutely enthralled with the respect he believed that he was receiving from his Russian counterpart.

"The first time I was in one of the phone calls, I was listening very carefully to the Russian, because the interpreters don't always capture everything, they don't capture the nuances, particularly when it's the Russian interpreter," she said. "And Trump said, 'What a great conversation!' and I thought, 'Not really!' There was all kinds of menace in what Putin had said, he chooses his words very carefully."

She noted that this put Trump at a natural disadvantage when the two men talked.

"Many times when Putin and Trump were interacting, Putin's actually making fun of him!" she said. "It's just completely lost in the translation. I can give you lots of episodes of this, always trying to goad him and urge him on to something, because he's always trying to see how he'll react and the translation smooths over all that and the context is absolutely missing. And he doesn't do a readout afterwards!"

She went on to say that Trump's approach to dealing with Putin was "amateur hour" because he wasn't getting the deep meaning of Putin's statements beyond surface-level talking points.............

There’s really gonna be a large group of people in 2029/2030 that will try to distance themselves from the entire Trump era much like certain people tried to distance themselves from the anti Civil Rights movement.
Unfortunately, The Trump Era happened in the digital age.
