Our Constitutional Republic faces a clear and present danger more deadly than that of the Civil War. The danger is the Republican Party, a "political party" that has sold out to white supremacy, autocracy, misogyny, and hatred of everything our Nation stands for. Republicans dismiss any sense of a common American narrative. The "Republican Party" is an outlier in our history – ideologically extreme; contemptuous of social and economic policies that have sustained us for a century; unwilling to compromise; dismissive of evidence, fact, and science; dismissive of the legitimacy of any viewpoint except their own. America needs to face the simple, frightening fact that the Republican Party is a clear and present danger to our Constitutional Republic.
Even with Trump shouting from his loser Russian sponsored TruthSocial for his supporters to “Take America back,” the revolution will not be televised — hell, it will not even happen.
Reason number 1: The most militant wackjobs who might actually do something either are being prosecuted or are already in jail from Jan 6.
Reason 3: Law enforcement is preparing for it, and they are telling everyone they are preparing for it. Trump has no control over law enforcement anymore, he can’t tamper with which police forces will be around Manhattan, or who in the Secret Service will be with him. Even in Florida, the Governor is a snake and his #1 rival for the election.
I know everyone has had little patience for the Justice Department working to make our democracy safe but they HAVE been working. We will see, I think soon, if they have done enough or not. In the end I think all MAGAts are cowards, they only act when anger overcomes their cowardness. Now they know what will happen — they have learned the meaning of “Fuck Around, Find Out.”
” I think that I would qualify as not smart, but genius … and a very stable genius at that!” — Donald Trump, Jan. 6, 2018
The Stable Genius
“Talented and well-practiced in every vice, a stranger to compassion or empathy, a liar and a cheat so complete in perfidy that he has elevated his dishonesty to hold it up as an ersatz moral principle, violent, so long as he can order someone else to do the dirty work, grotesque in body, graceless in action, in possession of a wounded self-regard so colossal as to smother any spark of grace, treasonous, not only to country, but to every ally he has ever had, the poisoned fruit and rankest flower of racism and contempt for women, and utterly devoid of shame for his moral and spiritual bankruptcy.
That is your leader, Republicans, your leader. That is to whom you give your money. That is who you follow and laud. That is whose banner you willingly carry. Why? Because he is a mirror, not a lighthouse. You see yourselves in him. He is what you would be, if you had inherited money and could shed the last vestiges of conscience and shame.
No, I do not “respect your choices,” nor do I admire your loyalty and dedication to this miserific, demoniac vision. You have demonstrated not only a lack of civic virtue, loyalty to the Republic and to the rule of law, but a willingness to engage in violence and sedition at his slightest expressed wish. And you will never, ever admit you were wrong.
Because you see your dark, twisted, resentful dreams in him. And to renounce him is to renounce yourselves.”
The murder rate in the 25 states that voted for Donald Trump has exceeded the murder rate in the 25 states that voted for Joe Biden in every year from 2000 to 2020.
Over this 21-year span, this Red State murder gap has steadily widened from a low of 9% more per capita red state murders in 2003 and 2004 to 44% more per capita red state murders in 2019, before settling back to 43% in 2020.
Altogether, the per capita Red State murder rate was 23% higher than the Blue State murder rate when all 21 years were combined.
If Blue State murder rates were as high as Red State murder rates, Biden-voting states would have suffered over 45,000 more murders between 2000 and 2020.
Even when murders in the largest cities in red states are removed, overall murder rates in Trump-voting states were 12% higher than Biden-voting states across this 21-year period and were higher in 18 of the 21 years observed.
On Saturday morning, March 18, 2023, Public Enemy #1 Donald Trump claimed on Truth Social that he will be “arrested” on Tuesday and called for public protests.
In two all-cap posts, Trump wrote, “OUR NATION IS NOW THIRD WORLD & DYING. THE AMERICAN DREAM IS DEAD! THE RADICAL LEFT ANARCHISTS HAVE STOLLEN OUR PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION, AND WITH IT, THE HEART OF OUR OUR COUNTRY. AMERICAN PATRIOTS ARE BEING ARRESTED & HELD IN CAPTIVITY LIKE ANIMALS, WHILE CRIMINALS & LEFTIST THUGS ARE ALLOWED TO ROAM THE STREETS, KILLING & BURNING WITH NO RETRIBUTION. MILLIONS ARE FLOODING THROUGH OUR OPEN BOARDERS, MANY FROM PRISONS & MENTAL INSTITUTIONS. CRIME & INFLATION ARE DESTROYING OUR VERY WAY OF LIFE…”
He then added, “NOW ILLEGAL LEAKS FROM A CORRUPT & HIGHLY POLITICAL MANHATTAN DISTRICT ATTORNEYS OFFICE, WHICH HAS ALLOWED NEW RECORDS TO BE SET IN VIOLENT CRIME & WHOSE LEADER IS FUNDED BY GEORGE SOROS, INDICATE THAT, WITH NO CRIME BEING ABLE TO BE PROVEN, & BASED ON AN OLD & FULLY DEBUNKED (BY NUMEROUS OTHER PROSECUTORS!) FAIRYTALE, THE FAR & AWAY LEADING REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE & FORMER PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, WILL BE ARRESTED ON TUESDAY OF NEXT WEEK. PROTEST, TAKE OUR NATION BACK!”
On Friday, NBC reported that Manhattan D.A. Alvin Bragg has been meeting with law enforcement officials over security concerns surrounding a potential Trump arrest.
COMMENT
My rural county is home to a LOT of Trumpsters, including two who are in jail awaiting sentencing for their part in the Jan 6 attempted coup. I’m hoping our sheriff is prepared for these assholes to hoist their Trump flags on the backs of their pickups and race around the county. Any of them coming down my road will not be greeted warmly.
ADDENDUM
TRUMP’S MOUTH IS ABOUT TO GET HIM IN DEEPER SHIT THAN HE IS ALREADY IN
Appearing on MSNBC on Saturday moments just moments after Donald Trump claimed he is going to be arrested on Tuesday, former prosecutor Glenn Kirschner claimed the former president’s all-caps post on Truth Social that seems to encourage violence will become evidence in future indictments.
Speaking with host Katie Phang, Kirschner said this the two posts will come back to haunt him — and the former president knows what he is doing by inciting his fans.
“I would slap a government exhibits sticker on this post and I would introduce it as his criminal trial,” Kirschner explained. “And this is a dark moment in our nation’s history and I’m glad you got to break the news, Katie.”
“Because what we have just seen is basically, ‘come to D.C. on January 6th. Will be wild 2.0.’ And I am sorry to say that for months I have been saying on air and online, that the moment Donald Trump knows he’s been indicted, his first post will be come to Manhattan or come to Georgia for my arraignment — will be wild.”
“He knows precisely what he is doing,” he elaborated. ” He used similar language to incite, first of all, to entice his supporters to come to D.C. on January 6th. and then he proceeded to incite imminent, lawless action and he has done it all over again.”
“But, everything Donald Trump does is a miscalculation Katie, and here is why,” he added. “He has now just given the judge that will preside over his arraignment hearing food for thought about what kind of conditions should be set for the release of this dangerous man pending trial.”
COMMENT
Let’s hope the NYC cops, NY NG, and federal marshals are alerted and have been issued lots of arms and ammo . . . and have been told to take no shit from any Trumphumping rioters. Fuck Around, Find Out.
UPDATE
HORSE-FACE GREENE CALLS FOR VIOLENCE AGAINST OUR JUSTICE SYSTEM
Reacting to a report that Donald Trump is likely to be indicted next week in a Manhattan courtroom by District Attorney Alvin Bragg, and the former president’s claim on Truth Social early Saturday that he will be arrested on Tuesday, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) flipped out on Twitter and called for the defunding of the Department of Justice.
On Truth Social, in a two-part, all-cap post littered with misspellings, the former president wrote, in part: “NOW ILLEGAL LEAKS FROM A CORRUPT & HIGHLY POLITICAL MANHATTAN DISTRICT ATTORNEYS OFFICE, WHICH HAS ALLOWED NEW RECORDS TO BE SET IN VIOLENT CRIME & WHOSE LEADER IS FUNDED BY GEORGE SOROS, INDICATE THAT, WITH NO CRIME BEING ABLE TO BE PROVEN, & BASED ON AN OLD & FULLY DEBUNKED (BY NUMEROUS OTHER PROSECUTORS!) FAIRYTALE, THE FAR & AWAY LEADING REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE & FORMER PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, WILL BE ARRESTED ON TUESDAY OF NEXT WEEK. PROTEST, TAKE OUR NATION BACK!”
That led to the controversial Georgia Republican to demand “Enough of this!” and attack the DOJ.
Is this person male or female?
“If the Manhattan DA indicts President Trump, he will ultimately win even bigger than he is already going to win. And those Republicans that stand by and cheer for his persecution or do nothing to stop it will be exposed to the people and will be remembered, scorned, and punished by the base. President Trump did nothing wrong and has always fought for the American people, and we all know it, which is why we love him. And any Republican who thinks the Democrats will stop this madness once Trump is out of the way is fooling themselves,” she wrote. “Weaponized Government and Political Persecution are new chapters in their playbook and they will use those methods against anyone who stands in their way. And we are absolutely fed up with the two-tiered justice system or rather INJUSTICE system in America. The base has had enough of Republicans that won’t stand up for the people and against the Democrats war against Trump, his admin, his supporters, and traditional values.”
She then continued, “We must bring in the Biden DOJ officials who have been coordinating with the Manhattan DA to testify. And subpoena all of it. We must end the weaponization of government power for politics.”
“Biden’s DOJ is coordinating with the Democrat Manhattan DA to arrest Donald Trump, the top Republican Presidential candidate for 2024, and charge him with a fake outdated misdemeanor charge. It’s ALL FOR POLITICS! This is what they do in communists countries to destroy their political opponents! Republicans in Congress MUST subpoena these communists and END this! We have the power to do it and we also have the power to DEFUND their salaries and departments! Enough of this! The American people deserve a government that actually works for them NOT a bunch of self centered communists who bail out their donors, protect the elites, and weld their power to punish their political enemies!” she concluded.
VFAF — Virginians for America First — proclaims themselves to be working to protect election integrity in Virginia. They have a fancy website that promises — but does not deliver. Their executive director is “Bishop” Leon Benjamin — a three-times failed candidate for Congress. Following the 2020 election, VFAF “volunteers” went throughout Virginia, interrogating Voter Registrars; invading Registrars’ offices; sponsoring batshit-crazy “investigators” such as Seth Kestel and Lady Draza — and Mike Flynn; and attempting to slip “observers” into 2021 polling places — all to no avail.
Multiple agencies are preparing security plans for in and around the Manhattan Criminal Court to be in place when Trump is charged in connection with a hush money payment to Stormy Daniels.
Local, state and federal law enforcement and security agencies are preparing for the possibility that former President Donald Trump is indicted as early as next week, according to five senior officials familiar with the preparations.
Law enforcement agencies are conducting security assessments, the officials said, and are discussing security plans in and around the Manhattan Criminal Court, at 100 Centre Street, to be prepared for violence by Trump supporters when he is charged in connection with a hush money payment to Stormy Daniels and travels to New York to face charges.
Meanwhile, there’s this bullshit making the rounds of MAGAworld:
BREAKING: MAGA ‘Prophet’ Julie Green has received a message from God that he will block indictments of Trump: “There will be no indictment of my son. I am the end to their plans, because I am the great I am.” (She has done podcasts w/Eric Trump, Michael Flynn & Peter Navarro). pic.twitter.com/lkHWrBodtB
Trump’s press release was at 6:12 PM EDST, March 16, 2023.
Former President Donald Trump’s spokesman released a statement on Thursday evening attacking Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg amid reports that he is likely to indict the former president soon.
“President Donald J. Trump is completely innocent, he did nothing wrong, and even the biggest, most Radical Left Democrats are making that clear,” wrote Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung. “From Russia, Russia, Russia, to the Mueller Hoax, to Impeachment Hoaxes 1 and 2, and even the Unlawful Mar-a-Lago Raid, Democrats have investigated and attacked President Trump since before he was elected – and they’ve failed every time. Now Democrats are at it again, pushing the ‘Nuclear Button’ and attacking a President because of a disgraced extortionist. This is happening because President Trump is leading in the polls by a large margin against both Democrats and Republicans, and there’s never been anything so blatant in American political history.”
“The latest Witch-Hunt is being brought on by George Soros-backed Radical Left Democrat prosecutor Alvin Bragg,” Cheung continued. “Bragg has made political donations to fellow Radical Democrats like Raphael Warnock, and now Bragg is making a political donation of a different kind to Joe Biden. Everyone knows it’s a sham. In fact, the Department of Justice stocked the DA’s office with top people from DC to help ‘Get Trump’ at a local level.”
Cheung concluded by proclaiming that “Americans will not tolerate Radical Left Democrats turning our justice system into an injustice system to influence a presidential election, which is all they want to do.”
Bragg is expected to indict Trump for falsifying business records over the $130,000 hush payment his former attorney Michael Cohen helped facilitate between himself and adult film star Stormy Daniels.
Trump is currently facing a number of other criminal investigations, including an election probe by Fulton County, Georgia prosecutor Fani Willis, and a pair of Justice Department probes overseen by special counsel Jack Smith.
