  1. >”WHEN I WIN, those people that CHEATED will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the Law, which will include long term prison sentences…Please beware that this legal exposure extends to Lawyers, Political Operatives, Donors, Illegal Voters, & Corrupt Election Officials. Those involved in unscrupulous behavior will be sought out, caught, and prosecuted at levels, unfortunately, never seen before in our Country.”

    Just a weeee bit fascist there yeah?

    Every day trump commits shit that would sink any other candidate of any party that has ever run.

    No American has ever seen a candidate that self appoints to final authority and arbiter over anything and everything that might impede his ambitions. It’s un-American, it’s authoritarian, and it could only manifest illegally. When trump says only *he* knows, only *he* is entitled, *he* and *only he* is “the one”, the naked narcissism and insecurity etc is just beyond words. In this episode trump just drips with insanity as he literally threatens vengeance. He nakedly declares he will grossly abuse power in pursuit of an enemies list, where the antagonists are whatever he imagines. Where his grievances are concerned he would bring corruption that would make J. Edgar Hoover look like a cub scout, and Hoover framed, imprisoned and even assassinated innocent people.

    We’ll never understand why people calling themselves conservatives and republicans have taken us to this weird, black place, but they’ve destroyed our lives enough. It’s high time to send ’em packing and end this long national nightmare.

  3. Its an epic fail by this country’s PTB that he isn’t in prison.

    They keep trying to ‘play fair’ while he constantly threatens the very foundations of this country, with wave after non-stop wave of authoritarian rhetoric.

    Look, we’re gonna get that ‘civil war’ his MAGA endorsers have been drooling for whether he legitimately wins or not.

    As long as he’s gonna do it anyway just lock his traitor ass up along with the the rest of his traitor captains and lieutenants. Conspiracy to commit insurrection, domestic terrorism.

    He *simply CANNOT* be allowed any fucking chance at that office and its utterly ludicrous it has gone on as long as it has.

    I’m 100% certain theres gonna be conflict before, during, and after the election and he isn’t gonna play fair. No chance.

    Arreest him. Damn the torpedos. End. Him.

  4. This whole thing is bullshit, but threatening donors should be disqualifying.

    He’s basically saying he wants to lock up anyone who supports his opposition.

  5. Didn’t this guy have Fake Electors and is on audio begging for 11,000 more votes??? Make it make sense America!

    He will be cheating then , By blaming the other side ahead of time for things he is going to do classic playbook narcissism . That way he can lie and say I did it because they were doing it when he gets caught .
    And people wont know for sure what the truth is especially the Maga

  7. With all that he has threatened, he better make building 1 million (gazillion?) New prisons first

    So. It sounds he’s saying it’s a crime to be a Democrat.

    What. The. Fuck.

    Trump does something egregious and we all look but nothing ever happens. He inches over the line a little more and we notice but again nothing happens. He does something even more egregious and we all look but nothing happens. Rinse and repeat.

  10. Imagine going to school, making connections, doing all the behind the scenes shit that lets one be a political operative attached to a presidential campaign, and you have to hit “post” for this shitheel of a man.

  11. He used Chat GPT. Vocabulary and grammar is above his level. AI can’t fix dementia though.

  12. Threatening donors is election intimidation.

    What system do we have if we can’t ultimately hold this guy accountable for everything he continues to do?

  13. A $20 donation to Harris is a small price to pay to get on Trump’s Enemy of the State list. I can’t imagine a greater honor.

  14. It sure is nice to see a wannabe dictator proclaim he’s going to do fascist dictator stuff. Kind of takes away that plausible deniability and out of context arguments. But hey, I’m sure the right wing terrorists will just say he’s “joking” or “blowing off steam” or “ranting off the cuff” instead of, ya know, taking him at his word.

    *Ding Ding Ding Ding*
    Media, you might want to cover this as a truly fascist dictator comment. Your livelihood will depend upon it. I know it doesn’t fit your “even horse race” narrative, but your survival seems like a better thing to worry about than clicks.
