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?

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:

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...............

The White House might be getting involved in the battle over NIL.

If only americans were actually taught about the different political systems in school aside from socialist bad - Capitalism - good, they would be able to make a lot more informed decisions.

Agreed a 100% socialist or capitalist soceity cannot survive. There has to be a balance. What that balance is what should be what is debated.

I can’t believe that Trump gets to preside over the 250th anniversary, Olympics and World Cup
=====================

…….,Under an executive order issued in January, the president has started to churn out his own approved version of US history that professional historians fear will resort to the tried and tested authoritarian playbook of airbrushing out inconvenient and inglorious chapters that do not align with his vision of American greatness.

“He is not now and never has been a student of history, but is basically a restorationist,” said Jonathan Alter, a historian and biographer of several US presidents, including Jimmy Carter, Barack Obama and Franklin Roosevelt. Alter described a “restorationist” as a “political figure who operates on the politics of nostalgia”.

“He’s ignorant of economic history, he’s ignorant of political history. And his idea for the 250 is to use it as a way to celebrate him,” Alter added. “We don’t know yet exactly how he’ll hijack that event next year, but he will certainly try to do so.”

As a first step, Trump’s order established himself chair of a White House taskforce 250 and vowed a “grand celebration” to mark the country’s 250th birthday on 4 July 2026 and “other actions to honor the history of our great nation”.

One of those was under way last month when the first of a series of short videos, entitled “The Story of America”, was posted on the White House 250 website. The videos were produced in partnership with Hillsdale College, a conservative Christian institution in Michigan.

In the opening video, the college’s president, Larry Arnn – a former research director for Winston’s Churchill official biographer, Sir Martin Gilbert – drew similarities between Lincoln and Trump, citing the current president’s signature slogan “Make America Great Again”.

“He has a famous slogan that I will not repeat here, but everybody knows what it is, and it ends with the word again,” said Arnn, who did not respond to the Guardian’s interview request. “He wants to do something again, something that’s already been done … And it places him somewhere near the politics of Abraham Lincoln.”…….

You just beat me to it. He took an oath to do just that, of course. But like oaths mean anything to him.

I read that Trump gave the commencement address at Alabama this weekend, and was a little bit ticked off that Alabama would make him the focal point of their commencement. Imagine being a graduate and having your ceremony ruined by that absolute clown. Well, Doug Jones says he didn’t give the commencement address and he basically called up Alabama and invited himself to give this talk at a separate event. News media need to do better.

The news media is frigging incompetent.

Quit worrying about access and do your damn job.

NEW YORK (AP) — President Donald Trump says he is directing his government to reopen and expand Alcatraz, the notorious former prison on a hard-to-reach California island that has been closed for more than 60 years.

In a post on his Truth Social site Sunday evening, Trump wrote that, “For too long, America has been plagued by vicious, violent, and repeat Criminal Offenders, the dregs of society, who will never contribute anything other than Misery and Suffering. When we were a more serious Nation, in times past, we did not hesitate to lock up the most dangerous criminals, and keep them far away from anyone they could harm. That’s the way it’s supposed to be.”

“That is why, today, I am directing the Bureau of Prisons, together with the Department of Justice, FBI, and Homeland Security, to reopen a substantially enlarged and rebuilt ALCATRAZ, to house America’s most ruthless and violent Offenders,” he wrote, adding: “The reopening of ALCATRAZ will serve as a symbol of Law, Order, and JUSTICE.”………

Trump says he's going to reopen Alcatraz prison. Doing so would be difficult and costly

Just so idiotic. We don’t have a problem with prisons not being separated from the people. And reopening Alcatraz is just wildly stupid.

 

[superchuck500]

Also, Congress transferred Alcatraz to the NPS in 1972. Just another illegal Trump command.

 

[MT15]

So, Chuck, or anyone else, who is writing these EOs? Who is behind this crazy barrage of illegal, unconstitutional, immoral, fraudulent EOs?

I really doubt Trump is coming up with them on his own. I don’t think he ever much thinks about anything other than his own ego and his money.
