Trump and allies plot revenge, Justice Department control in a second term

[-TSS-]

Too bad for the Republicans that they have over the decades become labelled as the party of the WASPs. (nothing to do with the insects nor the band).

It didn't harm them when WASPs were over 80% of the population but nowadays it is easier said than done to try to appeal to segments of population which were previously considered almost as being enemies.

And look at Trump's face (on video) when he demanded Russia find Hillary's emails. That was a scowl not a smile.

AKA, he wasn't joking, as he CONFIRMED after a follow up question.

And? What's your point?

The Danger Ahead

Quote

For all its marvelous creativity, the human imagination often fails when turned to the future. It is blunted, perhaps, by a craving for the familiar. We all appreciate that the past includes many moments of severe instability, crisis, even radical revolutionary upheaval. We know that such things happened years or decades or centuries ago. We cannot believe they might happen tomorrow.

When Donald Trump is the subject, imagination falters further. Trump operates so far outside the normal bounds of human behavior—never mind normal political behavior—that it is difficult to accept what he may actually do, even when he declares his intentions openly. What’s more, we have experienced one Trump presidency already. We can take false comfort from that previous experience: We’ve lived through it once. American democracy survived. Maybe the danger is less than feared?

In his first term, Trump’s corruption and brutality were mitigated by his ignorance and laziness. In a second, Trump would arrive with a much better understanding of the system’s vulnerabilities, more willing enablers in tow, and a much more focused agenda of retaliation against his adversaries and impunity for himself. When people wonder what another Trump term might hold, their minds underestimate the chaos that would lie ahead.

That he wasn't joking like some make excuses for his corrupt and illegal solicitation of foreign campaign aid.

I guess you Canucks are completely IGNORANT that foreign campaign contributions are ILLEGAL HERE.

Or you just don't care about the LAW or anyone breaking it to pursue your political AGENDA. ?

At least we know what a subpoena is,   

If he wasn't joking and admitted to receiving foreign contributions he'd already be under arrest for that as well.  Your argument is that the dems and their supporters will TOTALLY go after him for jaywalking - but illegal election funding just isn't worth the effort or time 

You know i'm right. If you don't, prove me wrong. If you do then just shut up and take the L.

Talk of a Trump Dictatorship Charges the American Political Debate

Quote

When a historian wrote an essay the other day warning that the election of former President Donald Trump next year could lead to dictatorship, one of Mr. Trump’s allies quickly responded by calling for the historian to be sent to prison, the New York Times reports.

It almost sounds like a parody: The response to concerns about dictatorship is to prosecute the author. But Mr. Trump and his allies are not going out of their way to reassure those worried about what a new term would bring by firmly rejecting the dictatorship charge. If anything, they seem to be leaning into it.

If Mr. Trump is returned to office, people close to him have vowed to come after the news media, open criminal investigations into onetime aides who broke with the former president and purge the government of civil servants deemed disloyal. When critics said Mr. Trump’s language about ridding Washington of ‘vermin’ echoed that of Adolf Hitler, the former president’s spokesman said the critics’ ‘sad, miserable existence will be crushed’ under a new Trump administration. 

So anyone who discloses the dictator will be CRUSHED. Like that won't corroborate it.... ?

Does Trump have a platform other than revenge?

Sure - he has the whole reprisal program, the recrimination and retribution policy and my personal favourite, the two term tit for tat approach which i think is going to really appeal to the base.  Oh - and fix the economy  or something.
