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?

Missed this one: summary execution of shoplifters.

Aside from the language, what struck me (and has been over last month or so) is the crowd. 2 or 3 or 5 years ago, the roof comes off. Now? Sure there is some initial cheer, but it's now short lived and not nearly as energetic.

Novelty is wearing off. Good.

True, but we don’t care about his cult. There’s not enough of them to swing the election. We need the R-leaning independents and the more moderate Rs to hear how bad he is.

How can they not know by now? I mean, what more is needed?

I don't believe anybody is truly undecided right now. What sane, logical, moderate, independent, whatever voter is going to vote for Trump after everything he's done? Everybody already knows who their voting for sans some major occurrence or development (namely death).

I personally think this, and Dobbs are the reasons for the disconnect between Biden polling, and election performance. People may not like Biden, but they know who/what they hate. Republicans have ironically created a "Blue no matter what" movement on the left.

I think you are right, but I also think there is a certain percentage who are Fox-adjacent, and all they hear is Biden Crime Family, Joe is corrupt, Joe is senile, Dems are evil Satanists….

Today he had an imaginary scenario where he is on an electric boat (sitting on the battery) and it starts to sink so he knows he will be electrocuted and then he sees a shark circling. Then he says he will take electrocution every time. Comically slurring “electrocution” one of the times, BTW. But what is the point of that story? Good grief - he has no business doing anything but holding these rallies because he is so addled.

He also said the Obama Administration has stats on his border wall and how much of it he built during his term. Does he think Obama is the current president?

his only goal is to make himself look impressive. I knows his followers believe everything he says so what does it matter? he gets what he wants out of it.

I’m not sure this has been really discussed. What Trump is promising to do if re-elected is a hard turn towards authoritarianism. If it were just him, I don’t think I would be too alarmed, because I don’t think he is capable of accomplishing much. But a group of extreme right wing think tanks has started openly plotting how to help him accomplish his (and their) goals. They see they won’t be winning many elections because their policies aren’t popular, so they see Trump as their best chance to cement their ideas into our country against the will of most of the people.

Here is some of what Trump is promising:

“In speeches, interviews and campaign videos, Trump has promised to:

• Use the military to participate in the largest deportation of undocumented immigrants in American history;
• Order the National Guard into cities with high crime rates, whether local officials want it or not;
• Prosecute Californians who protect minors coming to the state for gender-affirming care;
• Impose a 10% tariff on almost all foreign goods, increasing prices for consumers;
• Appoint a special prosecutor to “go after” his political opponents, beginning with Biden;
• Purge the federal civil service of anyone who questions his views.

Some of those pledges may turn out to be illegal or impractical, but they’re more than bluster.”

Column: Trump has a second-term agenda, and it's more terrifying than ever

The former president wants to deport millions of immigrants, send National Guard troops into cities, prosecute political opponents — and that's only the start.

John Kelly has finally gone on the record to confirm several of the disgusting stories about Trump during his presidency. Among them:

--That Trump did not want to visit a cemetery in France where American warriors are buried because they were suckers and losers.
--That Trump, at Arlington, said that he didn't get why they did it, since there was nothing in it for them.
--That Trump told him, at a Bastille Day parade, as Trump was dreaming about his parade, not to have any wounded soldiers at Trump's parade because it was a bad look for him.

Twice in the past two weeks, Donald Trump has suggested violent consequences for those who dare to cross him.

Mark Milley, the outgoing chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, deserves to be executed, Trump charged. Milley’s backchannel communications, intended to reassure Chinese military leaders before and after the 2020 election, amounted to a treasonous act “so egregious that, in times gone by, the punishment would have been DEATH!”

And Letitia James, the New York attorney general who filed a damaging civil fraud case against Trump? He didn’t stop at calling her “corrupt and racist”.

“I don’t think the people of this country are going to stand for it … This is a disgrace. And you ought to go after this attorney general,” he said publicly on his way into the courtroom this week.

As always, Trump walks right up to the line. He didn’t quite say “execute Milley” or “assassinate Letitia James”. But he comes perilously close, and some prominent legal experts think he has moved past free speech and into criminality.

“Trump’s first amendment freedom of speech includes the right to express his racist views about anyone, including attorney general Letitia James,” wrote Lawrence Tribe, the Harvard Law School emeritus professor. “But he has no right to foment violence against her. He crossed the line into criminal threats when he said ‘you ought to go after this attorney general.’”……..

His menacing words toward Mark Milley and Letitia James should not be shrugged off

Getting awfully close to Hitler’s exact words. Essentially no difference at this point:

Another one to add to the “he wouldn’t do that..would he?” column.

Reportedly, Trump shared classified information about U.S. nuclear submarine capabilities with an Australian billionaire, who then told anyone who would listen what Trump told him.

TBF, I seriously doubt that he would actually know any of those things.
