Anxiety surges as Donald Trump may be indicted soon: Why 2024 is 'the final battle' and 'the big one'

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?

President Donald Trump has installed a statue of Christopher Columbus on the White House grounds, his latest effort to remake the presidential campus and celebrate the famed and controversial explorer.

The statue is outside the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, where it is visible from Pennsylvania Avenue NW and 17th Street NW. The White House had considered putting the statue on the South Lawn, The Washington Post reported in February.

The piece is a reconstruction of a statue that President Ronald Reagan unveiled in Baltimore in 1984. After it was dumped into the city’s harbor by protesters in 2020 as a racial reckoning swept the country, a group of Italian American businessmen and politicians, working with local sculptors, obtained the pieces and rebuilt the statue with financial support from local charities and federal grant funding.

“Destroyed July 4, 2020,” reads a panel affixed to the base of the sculpture. “Resurrected 2022.”

The panel also says that the sculpture was gifted to the White House last year and that Trump rededicated it in October.

“In this White House, Christopher Columbus is a hero. And he will continue to be honored as such by President Trump,” Davis Ingle, a White House spokesman, said in a statement. The New York Times first reported Sunday that the statue had been installed.

The Columbus statue is just one of numerous sculptures that Trump has taken steps to place on the White House grounds and on other federal land. Several statues of revolutionary-era political leaders now stand in the White House’s Rose Garden, and the president is planning a large sculpture garden to commemorate 250 famous Americans, a project that he has dubbed the Garden of Heroes — and that could be erected in Washington’s West Potomac Park................

Sometimes it just takes time for it to sink in.

My Grandfather once told me you can't put a 70 year old head on a 18 year old body. I know exactly
what he meant now. I didn't when I was much younger.

Donald Trump’s White House spokespeople have a favorite two-step reply when reporters ask them to comment on one of the president’s false claims.

First: They say, “President Trump is right.”

Second: They defend some related point that isn’t the one Trump actually made.

Trump’s communications team has returned to this “President Trump is right” template again and again during his second presidency. Even in response to his most clearly inaccurate statements.

In September, for example, PolitiFact asked the White House about Trump’s incorrect declaration that the US had “no inflation.” Spokesperson Kush Desai replied, “President Trump is right: The days of (former President) Joe Biden’s debilitating inflation crisis are over. Since President Trump took office, inflation has been tracking at a low and stable 2.3 percent annualized rate and real wages for American workers are up.”

Notably missing from Desai’s “President Trump is right” reply was any attempt to demonstrate that Trump’s “no inflation” claim was indeed right. In fact, Desai’s assertion that inflation was “a low and stable 2.3 percent annualized rate” contradicted Trump’s assertion that inflation no longer existed.

Since Trump’s second inauguration, the White House has sent reporters similarly unconvincing Trump-is-right replies to questions on subjects as varied as his false claims about how many wars he has settled, his false claims that each US military attack on an alleged drug-trafficking boat saves 25,000 American lives, his false claims that Democrats were last fall trying to secure $1.5 trillion in health care funding for undocumented immigrants, his false claims that Biden allowed South Korea to stop paying some of the cost of the US military presence there, and his false claims that he is reducing prescription drug prices by a mathematically impossible 1,000% or more.

The White House did it again last week about the war with Iran.

CNN inquired about Trump’s claim on social media that media outlets worked “in close coordination” with Iran to spread fake videos showing a US aircraft carrier on fire and should be charged with “TREASON.” Asked which outlets disseminated these videos, spokesperson Anna Kelly’s reply began, “President Trump is right – global news outlets quickly amplified the Iranian regime’s false claims about the USS Lincoln.”

The three examples Kelly provided as supposed proof, though, were all to foreign news outlets – one Israeli, one Saudi and one Turkish – that quoted Iran’s baseless claims to have struck the Lincoln; these outlets couldn’t possibly have committed “TREASON” against the US, since they don’t owe allegiance to the US, and none of the examples included fake videos................
