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?

Massive, massive corruption.

A key factor is the structure of the U.S. political system. It is effectively binary, dominated by two parties, which creates strong incentives for loyalty over accountability. When something like the January 6 Capitol attack happens, breaking ranks comes at a high political cost. As a result, many politicians choose party alignment over institutional responsibility. In multi-party systems, like those across much of Europe, power is more fragmented. Governments depend on coalitions, and that makes it easier—though not guaranteed—to hold leaders accountable when norms are violated.

There’s also the broader issue of accountability at the international level. The U.S. has chosen not to fully commit to institutions like the International Criminal Court. While that decision is often justified on grounds of sovereignty, it also reinforces a perception that American leadership operates with fewer external constraints. That mindset can carry over into domestic politics, shaping how accountability is approached—or avoided.

Finally, the calls for “unity” after the January 6 Capitol attack weren’t just about avoiding justice—they were also political calculations. Some leaders argued that strong accountability would deepen divisions or risk further instability. But in reality, the absence of meaningful consequences has already weakened respect for democratic norms. When serious violations are met mostly with words rather than action, it doesn’t de-escalate—it normalizes the behavior.

And history suggests that figures like Donald Trump don’t change course because they’re told “no.” They change when there are real, enforceable consequences. Without that, the message isn’t restraint—it’s permission.


So the push for unity may have reduced short-term political friction, but at the cost of reinforcing a far more damaging precedent: that even direct challenges to democratic institutions may go largely unpunished.

We’ve heard of the 2 faced liar, Humpty gets the dubious award of being a multi-dimensional habitual liar. The thing is he’s only successful because of the quality of his victims motivated by whatever shortfalls, lack of intelligence, bigotry, corruption, self interest that allows them to fall under his spell. I’ll propose that for any normal, average intelligence human, able to pay attention to Donald Trump since at least 2014 and is aware about his opportunistic history of leaning Democratic in professed statements and sentiments, prior to crusading for King enabled by Cult Member victims, wealthy co-conspirators, his string of (unprecedented?) 6x bankruptcies, slum lord, sociopath, narrcasist, etc should want to have nothing to do with this human poison.

As I’ve speculated previously, the primary elements of his success involve The Capitalist End Game that includes stupid, disenfranchised, racism, white privaledge, and wealth gluttons, people either victims, unhappy, greedy, (name the flaw?) and they want advantages for themselves at the expense of others. Of course they don’t generally see it that way thinking in terms of “me”, not “we”.

America has gone rogue with Trump's second term. The harm being done to our country is incalculable. If the United States of America starts bombing Iranian power plants and bridges, we will have crossed into a totally different sphere in the world. We will be no better than Russia invading Ukraine. A line will be crossed. And our representatives in congress are standing by idlily.

WASHINGTON, April 6 (Reuters) - The White House is proposing to cut more than 9,400 workers and just over $1.5 billion from the 60,000-employee Transportation Security Administration that handles airport security operations, according to budget documents.

President Donald Trump on Friday proposed requiring smaller airports to drop TSA and use private security as a first step to privatizing the agency created after the September 11, 2001 attacks. The White House said privatizing the smaller airports would cut the TSA payroll by more than 4,500 jobs. The TSA proposes to cut another 4,800 jobs by improving efficiency, ending staffing at exit lanes and eliminating redundancies...........

A store dedicated to selling merchandise related to President Donald Trump and his MAGA movement has been forced to temporarily close its doors, with the owner blaming the war in Iran for the lack of footfall.

Lisa Fleischmann, owner of the Trump Truth Store + Hangout in Crystal Lake, a suburb of Chicago, Illinois, announced her decision on Facebook with a note that read simply: “Sorry, the Trump Truth Store is closed until further notice.”

She has since explained to The Chicago Tribunethat sales of her range of political T-shirts and memorabilia have fallen through the floor since the president launched his Operation Epic Fury airstrikes on Iran on February 28, killing off public appetite for red caps, flags, and “God, Guns, and Trump” shirts.

“Sales were really slow,” she said. “It all started with the war. It was dead as a door nail the minute that happened.

“I think [customers] are unsure what’s going on. Not everyone. But I think a majority of people are unsure what’s going on… And if you wear it, they feel someone might come up to them and ask them questions.”………
