    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?
     
    Nearly a decade after his twitchy Twitter fingers helped him shock the world by defeating Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential election, Donald Trump’s social media habit is playing an even larger role in his messaging and governing during the opening months of his second term.

    Since returning to the White House on Jan. 20, Trump has taken to the social media site he owns, Truth Social, for a total of 2,145 original posts, which he has used to announce hirings and firings, launch an unprovoked trade war with China (and most of the world), roll out policy changes and threaten friend and foe alike, often with the curt sign-off: “Thank you for your attention to this matter!”

    Over his first 100 days, The Independent found he had posted to his site more than 1,600 times, or at least 15 times a day on average through the end of April with the most frequent subject being illegal immigration.

    A Washington Post review of his Truth Social output that includes his “retruths” — reposts of content posted by another user on the platform — brings his total to 2,262 posts and reposts starting from the day he was sworn in until this past Sunday.............

    PITTSBURGH (AP) — Pittsburgh Steelers legend Rocky Bleier called an audible when he presented President Donald Trump with a Steelers jersey with the No. 47 during a rally in western Pennsylvania last week.

    Not everyone was thrilled about it.

    Several fans emailed the team expressing their anger at the gesture, which was not authorized directly by the team. The club responded to those who reached out, writing that the viewpoints of current and former players do not necessarily reflect the view of the organization.

    Trump was joined on stage at the rally to announce he was doubling tariffs on imported steel by 50% by quarterback Mason Rudolph and safety Myles Killebrew.

    Rudolph said he saw some of the blowback but did not take it personally.

    "That’s the nature of social media,” Rudolph said Tuesday after the Steelers wrapped up a voluntary team workout. “That’s the nature of why America is so great. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Speech is free. Par for the course.”.............

    Now, since Trump never reads the intel briefings and Gabbard is so bad at her job they are thinking of making the briefing look like a Fox News show so Trump will pay attention.

     
    TACO hitting home

    Let's not abandon it like we did with 'weird'
    ===============================================

    JD Vance slammed Democrats over a taco truck they deployed to mock President Trump on Capitol Hill.

    The Vice President responded to a post about the Democratic National Committee’s (DNC) taco truck on social media platform X. The post showed the food truck, which was commissioned by the DNC, featuring a depiction of Trump in a giant chicken costume with the words “Trump Always Chickens Out.”

    The taco truck will be parked outside the Republican National Committee’s Washington, D.C., headquarters today, handing out free tacos. In response to the news, Vance wrote: “We have the lamest opposition in American history.”

    DNC Chair Ken Martin released a statement on the food truck’s message, saying, “Trump always chickens out - we’re just bringing the tacos to match.”

    “Instead of realizing his tariff chaos is wrecking the economy, Trump continues to drag America towards more economic pain, and the rest of the world sees Trump for exactly what he is: a chicken.”

    Martin also said in a statement to Axios: “With his idiotic trade policy, he talks a big game, caves, and then leaves working families and small businesses to deal with the fallout.”.........

    SHE CONNECTED THE DOTS BEFORE THE REST OF US EVEN FOUND THE PENCIL
    Heather Cox Richardson just handed us the clearest, most unflinching blueprint of how the U.S. government is being dismantled under the second Trump administration—and she backed every word with receipts. Her March 27, 2025 dispatch isn’t analysis. It’s evidence. It’s a field report from the front lines of a soft coup.
    The scale of what she wrote felt too outrageous to be real.
    Venmo payments with eggplant emojis tied to a Signal chat about bombing the Houthis?
    A Department of Government Efficiency that’s already cost the U.S. $500 billion?
    The IRS gutted. HHS torched. Social Security collapsing?
    Surely this was speculative—some dystopian metaphor.
    It wasn’t. Every detail she cited came from real reporting by real journalists in Wired, The Washington Post, Reuters, NBC News, The New York Times, and more.
    Richardson didn’t theorize—she documented. And the result is devastating.
    Here’s just a fraction of what she laid out:
    • DOGE, Elon Musk’s “Department of Government Efficiency,” has cost $500 billion—10% of all IRS revenue from last year.
    • 20,000 IRS employees fired, especially in enforcement. Billionaire audits? Gone.
    • HHS cut $12 billion in mental health and disease tracking grants, then laid off 10,000 more workers, including 3,500 from the FDA and 2,400 from the CDC.
    • Social Security’s website crashed 4 times in 10 days. New rules require in-person ID checks for people without internet.
    • A Tufts student was detained by ICE after writing a pro-Palestinian op-ed.
    • The Department of Education is being shut down.
    • FEMA is next.
    • Columbia University had $400 million withheld until it complied with Trump’s cultural directives.
    • Mike Johnson is openly floating the idea of eliminating federal courts.
    • Words like “climate crisis,” “diversity,” “segregation,” and even “peanut allergies” are being purged from federal communications.
    • And J.D. Vance is now in charge of purging the Smithsonian of what the administration calls “anti-American ideology.”
    This isn’t dysfunction. It’s doctrine.
    It’s Project 2025, written by Russell Vought, now head of the Office of Management and Budget, and championed by Vance, who once said:
    “Unless we overthrow [the current ruling class]… we’re going to keep losing."
    and
    “We really need to be really ruthless when it comes to the exercise of power.”
    Heather Cox Richardson took that ruthlessness seriously. She traced it from the eggplant emoji to the ICE van. From the IRS to the Smithsonian. From the layoffs to the list of banned words.
    She didn’t write a warning.
    She wrote the truth.
    And she deserves our full attention.

    Heather Cox has described herself as being a Lincoln-era Republican, and having no affiliation with any political party.
