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?

It’s what I keep hoping for, it’s what I hoped for once he left office

Didn’t happen then, we’ll see if it happens in the future

A second Donald Trump presidency could spell the end of democracy in America and prove “devastating for the world order”, Adam Kinzinger, a Republican former congressman, has warned in an interview with the Guardian.

Trump, the frontrunner for the Republican presidential nomination, is vowing retribution against his political enemies in a second-term agenda more radical than his first, including mass deportations and a purge of the justice department. Kinzinger, one of the most prominent Trump critics in America, is sounding the alarm.

“The best-case scenario is a completely inept, ineffective government,” he said by phone. “The worst-case scenario is look, in his four-year term, he did not understand what he was doing. He was just trying to survive and he actually listened to people around him until the end. Now he’s going to put people around him that share his views, that will only reaffirm his views and, frankly, some of these people are pretty smart and they know how to work around the constitution or around the law to bring these authoritarian measures in.”

He added: “Is it going to be the end of the United States of America? I don’t think so but I’m going to stress: think. But it certainly will set us way back in the progress that we’ve made.”……..

“Are we going to have an election four years after Trump? Probably. Is the person who gets the most votes going to win? Probably. But the only thing self-governance needs to survive – you don’t have to agree on jack squat except that you can vote, your vote counts and whoever gets the most votes wins – that’s the only contract you need among Americans.

“He’s already convinced 30 to 40% of Americans that the system is rigged and so there’s nothing that makes me think for his four years in office he’s not going to continue to undermine faith in that system. And when that is permanently undermined, democracy’s over. It literally cannot survive that way.”……..


Kinzinger is appalled.


“I’m convinced that there’s not a single Trump supporter who in 10 years will ever admit they supported Donald Trump. He’s going to be seen eventually as a stain on this country. I don’t think there’s a single one of their kids that will ever be Trump supporters in 10 years. But that said, it means we have to win because if they win and they write the history books, they write the rules, then my prediction will be wrong.”………..

Lara Trump says she thinks GOP voters would like to see RNC pay Donald Trump's legal fees

Lara Trump said Wednesday while campaigning for her father-in-law ahead of the South Carolina primary that she was not familiar with the RNC's rules about paying Donald Trump's legal fees in a multitude of criminal and civil cases. “So yeah I think that is a big interest to people, absolutely.”

So, yeah, those who vote for Trump are gullible fools. He is supposed to be a billionaire. He can pay his own bills. But, no, the fools will keep sending him money or demand that the RNC pay his bills. Just flocking stupid.

Trump took the party of personal responsibility shirt on it 20 times and flushed it 200 times.

Imagine if you're a Republican candidate not named Trump. What kind of support will the RNC give you? This is a clown show and the masses are in the crowd clapping and cheering.

"...very tall son." What? What the hell?

Very tall. That's all you've got? Can Trump even get the kid's name right three out of five times?

This was a vast improvement over the last time. Last time he referred to Barron as being "her son," not "his son" like he did this time.

It'd be the last interview they did with him, but what a way to flame out if someone were to ask Cheato "You take great delight in insulting people about their spouses and insulting the spouses themselves so I'd like to know why you think it is that your wife Melania is disgusted by you? She wears a look of revulsion whenever she's forced to touch you." Then, when he blusters and denies, just hold up some of the many, many photos of her looking like she's just swallowed a maggot after being near him.

And that famous clip of her smiling at him, the split second he turns away the smile drops

Edit: this one

I have watched him deny he is lying while watching a video of him lying I doubt that would be effective.

 

[Bayouboy]

Is it just me, or does it look like Trump is playing an invisible accordion when he talks lately? I'm sure there's a gif out there somewhere with this same thought. lol

 

[Taurus]

Oh, you'll never get him to stop repeating the lie he tells himself. He can't. I mean that literally. It's why they call it a mental illness.

But what you can do is force him to repeat it when it's clearly delusional.

You can't expose a narcissist to themselves. They'll never admit it out loud. The trick is to make them expose themselves to their followers/lackeys/enablers.

That WOULD be good

They continue to tell us what they want to do.

 

[Taurus]

They continue to tell us what they want to do.

I really hope Biden is smart enough not to take the bait. Women are over half the electorate, they come in all colors, a vast majority of them are livid at having their bodily autonomy taken away. Abortion/reproduction rights is an excellent place for Biden to concentrate his time and message.

Medicare, too. Though this will take a bit more explaining and is thus not as attractive for soundbites as abortion, it's a very important subject for a large percentage of voters.

Marriage equality? Only relevant to a few. Can only be truly fixed by removing from legal challenges. Not where you put your effort if you want to win. Thusly, it's where the DNC will focus almost exclusively. Then they'll probably narrow it down further by explaining how same-sex minority couples would be especially hurt. Gradually winnowing down the number of voters who give a shart to a bare few thousand nationwide.

By occupation, Donald Trump is a salesman. In 2015, he shifted from selling products and condominiums bearing the Trump label to selling Trump directly: himself. And he has proved to be very good at it.

One of the main pitches he makes when selling himself is to present Donald Trump as a bulwark against the world’s evils. To a general population, that means that he focuses on how Democrats and President Biden and the media and communists and whoever are hellbent on uprooting American traditions and values. Every action is offered as a step toward the apocalypse, even as the apocalypse remains stubbornly distant from Americans’ daily lives.

To a religious audience, this presentation is more potent. A struggle between good and evil over the fate of the world is essential to many religious traditions and certainly to the right-wing evangelical Protestants to whom Trump most often tries to appeal. So when speaking to Christian conservatives — as Trump did on Thursday evening — the apocalyptic rhetoric and warnings of imminent doom carry an additional weight. Especially when Trump’s focus is on the threat to Christianity itself.

Trump’s speech carried familiar doomsdayism. The audience was told, for example, that the whoevers had “unleashed mobs of foreign jihadists to praise Hamas in our streets — they’re praising Hamas while they slander law-abiding Americans as domestic terrorists.” They were told that there existed legislation allowing newborn babies to be killed in an extension of abortion rights. They were informed that a second Trump administration would “take back our education system from the communists and the freaks that are destroying it.” The “freaks” here presumably include those advocating the “transgender insanity” he mentioned in the next sentence.

But his pitch was focused centrally on the need for Christians to rally around him and his candidacy.

“How any Christian can vote for a Democrat — Christian, or person of faith, a person of faith — how you can vote for a Democrat is crazy,” he mused at one point. “It’s crazy. They’ve got to stop.”

After all, he said later, Christians were under attack from the left. It was something he pledged to stop.

“I will create a new federal task force on fighting anti-Christian bias. It’s become a very big term anti-Christian bias. Not believable that you have a term like that, is it? When you think about it, it’s like, where did that come from? And it’s very, very recent phenomena,” he said. “Its mission will be to investigate all forms of illegal discrimination, harassment and persecution against Christians in America.”...........

This is the essence exposed for all to see. The Religious Right does not care about democracy. They do not care about our allies. They care about nothing beyond political power. They are, at their heart, a nihilistic group that seeks the end times believing they will rule. They do not care who they have to destroy to achieve their hate-filled vision. Most importantly, they are not Christian. Just as Islam has those who pervert it so does Christianity. They are American Taliban. They know it and they embrace it completely.
