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.

www.yahoo.com

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?

TFG..."our friends". The Russians.

(And it's May 9 not 8)

This is so stupid. The US doesn't really celebrate VE Day because we were still at war for three more months.

And "Veteran's Day" on Nov. 11 is statutory. The president can't just rename it with an executive order.

Stupid is a feature for MAGA.

Actually, in Europe the Soviets did much more. Roosevelt needed the Soviets to do the bleeding and bleed they did. I recalling reading somewhere that the Soviets had more casualties in one week than the U.S. did in the entire Pacific theatre.

Victory/Liberation day is different across Europe. In Denmark it is May 5th. And the last part of Denmark was only "liberated" a year later when Russia finally left Bornholm (a danish island in the Baltics that they wanted to keep)

Did not know that about Denmark. Thank you for the info. I am not a fan of the Soviets but too often in the U.S. people run around saying “we defeated the Nazis” as though nobody else did anything.

Actually the british "liberated" Denmark. The Germans signed the surrender statement on May 4th promissing to surrender at 8 AM on May 5th. So technically the resistance movement took control over the country in the evening/night of May 4th which is also the time when Danes celebrates by putting candlelights in the windows to celebrate.

Montgomery arrived a day later

Yep, once the tide had turned it became a race to declare victory over Germany. The way one of my college profs put it was Russia carried the football down the field, and the U.S. ran out and scored the touchdown.

FULL TEXT:

The Democrats are really out of control. They have lost everything, especially their minds!

These Radical Left Lunatics are into the “Impeachment thing” again.

They have already got two “No Name,” little respected Congressmen, total Whackjobs both, throwing the “Impeachment” of DONALD J. TRUMP around, for about the 20th time, even though they have no idea for what I would be Impeached.

Maybe it should be for cleaning up the MESS that they left us on the Border, or the Highest Inflation in our Country’s History or, perhaps, it should be the incompetent Withdrawal from Afghanistan, or Russia, Russia, Russia/Ukraine, Ukraine, Ukraine, or the Attack of Israel on October 7th that only proceeded because they allowed Iran to regain Great Wealth.

These Congressmen stated that, they didn’t know why they would Impeach me but, “We just want to do it.”

The Republicans should start to think about expelling them from Congress for all of the crimes that they have committed, especially around Election time(s). These are very dishonest people that won’t let our Country heal! Why do we allow them to continuously use Impeachment as a weapon against the President of the United States who, by all accounts, is working hard to SAVE OUR COUNTRY.

It’s the same playbook that they used in my First Term, and Republicans are not going to allow them to get away with it again.

These are total LOWLIFES, who hate our Country, and everything it stands for. Perhaps we should start playing this game on them, and expel Democrats for the many crimes that they have committed — And these are REAL crimes. Remember, “Shifty” Adam Schiff demanded a Pardon, and they had to use the power of the Auto Pen, and a Full Pardon, for him and the Unselect Committee of Political Thugs, to save them from Expulsion, and probably worse!

President Donald Trump used the National Day of Prayer to attack Joe Biden, perpetuate election lies and brag about his administration’s first 100 days in office.

“We're bringing back religion in our country and we're bringing it back quickly and strongly,” the president said in a rambling speech in the Rose Garden on Thursday afternoon.

Minutes into his speech, Trump mentioned his faith advisers’ work in the White House. “No other president allowed that. They said, 'separation between church and state.' I said, ‘Alright, let's forget about that for one time.’”

In fact, his address Thursday marked a second time.

While hosting the National Day of Prayer, the president, for the most part, breezed past faith and instead bashed Democrats, praised his administration’s efforts, and repeated his 2020 “rigged election” claims………

Trump uses National Day of Prayer to insult Biden and claim he was sent there by god

‘This is a religious ceremony but that's part of the religion, because if your taxes go up 68 percent you might give up your religion,’ the president told the crowd

Trump licensing his name. He builds nothing. Which sums him up quite well.

well, with all the insider trading and cryptocurrency he could afford it.

"Lets forget about that (THE CONSTITUTION) for one time" - djt.

That statement, alone, puts him in breach of his oath to office and all Republicans will do is laud him with applause.

The point often overlooked is that Russia bombed Rønne and Nexø (the main cities on the island) on the 5th of May AFTER the german surrender, killing many civillians before "liberating" the island and really did not want to leave afterwards.

President Donald Trump has posted an AI-generated image of himself in papal regalia, just 11 days after Pope Francis’ death.

The image, posted on Truth Social, shows President Trump dressed in white wearing a papal hat, known as a mitre, with a large crucifix hanging around his neck.

It comes after the president joked that he’d like to be the pontiff when asked who he would like to succeed Pope Francis. He said to reporters on the White House lawn: “I’d like to be Pope. That would be my number one choice.”

Trump went on to say that he did not have a preference but that there was a cardinal in New York who was “very good,” likely referring to Cardinal Timothy Dolan, the archbishop of New York……

I just saw this. He takes nothing seriously except himself and his money. Everyone should realize that he doesn’t care about us, this country or anyone’s beliefs, religious or otherwise.

Who jokes about this?

The latest complication in the ongoing fight over how college athletes should be paid could come straight from the pen of President Donald Trump.

The president is considering an executive order regarding NIL payments after a meeting with former Alabama head football coach Nick Saban on Thursday night, according to the Wall Street Journal.

Saban reportedly complained about NIL to Trump, who was in Tuscaloosa to deliver the University of Alabama's commencement address, and said he believed the system has damaged college sports. However, the coach didn't propose eliminating NIL but instead "reforming" it to address an allegedly uneven playing field.

Trump reportedly said he agreed with Saban and would look at drafting an executive order, directing aides to begin studying what such an order would say.

Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., helped set up the meeting with the hope it could be a first step in changing NIL, as he said Wednesday:

"Hopefully we'll get to sit down with Coach Saban. President Trump wants to help on this NIL. I don't know how he can do it through an executive order. But possibly we can sit down and talk some insight of what Coach Saban thinks about it, what I think about it and we can come up with some sort of agreement because right now it's in a tailspin."

What would an executive order from President Trump mean for NIL?​

If Trump follows through, an executive order would potentially upend years of legal fights involving the NCAA and various levels of government. The NCAA has had its restrictions on student-athlete income and transfers regularly struck down in court over the past five years, a process that is still ongoing.

The modern college football landscape now features athletes who can transfer immediately and earn millions of dollars in money from boosters. That landscape could further change soon, as the House settlement, which would open the door for schools to directly pay athletes, is clearing its final legal hurdles.

With the executive order not even drafted, it's impossible to tell how the NCAA, its schools and the legal system might react. The White House does not formally oversee college athletics, so an executive order would usually bear little weight, but a directive from Trump to either limit NIL payments or strike them down would draw attention for at least a couple of reasons...............

Never forget that a young Donald Trump's mentor was Roy Cohn
==========================================

For years, President Donald Trump blamed “communists” for his legal and political troubles. Now, the second Trump administration is deploying that same historically loaded label to cast his opponents — from judges to educators — as threats to American identity, culture and values.

Why? Trump himself explained the strategy last year when he described how he planned to defeat his Democratic opponent, then-Vice President Kamala Harris, in the White House election.

“All we have to do is define our opponent as being a communist or a socialist or somebody who is going to destroy our country,” he told reporters at his New Jersey golf club in August.

Trump did just that — branding Harris “comrade Kamala” — and he won in November. With the assent of more than 77 million Americans who cast ballots — 49.9% of the vote — Trump is carrying that strategy into his second term..........

The word “communist,” on the other hand, can carry great emotional power as a rhetorical tool, even now. It’s all the more potent as a pejorative — though frequently inaccurate, even dangerous — amid the contemporary flash of social media and misinformation. After all, the fear and paranoia of the Russian Revolution, the “Red Scare,” World War II, McCarthyism and the Cold War are fading into the 20th century past.

But Trump, 78 and famous for labeling people he views as obstacles, remembers.

“We cannot allow a handful of communist radical-left judges to obstruct the enforcement of our laws,” Trump said Tuesday in Michigan while celebrating his first 100 days in office. The White House did not reply to a request for what Trump means when he calls someone a “communist.”..............

On Thursday, senior presidential aide Stephen Miller stepped to the White House podium and uttered the same c-word four times in about 35 minutes during a denunciation of past policies on transgender, diversity and immigration issues.

“These are a few of the areas in which President Trump has fought the cancerous, communist woke culture that was destroying this country,” Miller told reporters.

His collection of words offered a selection of clickbait for social media users, as well as terms that could catch the attention of older Americans. Voters over age 45 narrowly voted for Trump over his Democratic rivals in 2020 and 2024.

Smack in the middle of Miller's sentence: “communist.”

“It tends to be a term that is loaded with negative affect, particularly for older Americans who grew up during the Cold War,” said Jacob Neiheisel, a political communications expert at the University at Buffalo. “Appending emotionally laden terms to political adversaries is a way to minimize their legitimacy in the eyes of the public and paint them in a negative light.”............
