Excuse me... those are patriots.  Those convicted are hostages. 

The bloodbath discussion is just part of his stream-of-consciousness verbal diarrhea where every random thought just spews forth.  Beyond using a term like that (OK...it was about the cars... but someone needs to explain what he meant by connecting Mexcan auto manufacturing, "if I lose" and "bloodbath"?), he had some crazy moments Saturday. 

Yesterday was just as bad (or worse).  He tells Fox News (again) that the 2020 election was stolen and won't blame Putin for Navalny's death.  Somewhere around 1/3rd of Americans feel that Biden is an illegitimate President (at least that's how they respond to polls).   The earth isn't flat.... the moon isn't made of cheese... and Trump lost in 2020 are all agreed facts... everywhere on the planet that isn't MAGA.  

It's a full-fledged, textbook definition cult at this point.

Attach photos of towns ruined after being abandoned by oil company drilling and coastlines destroyed by oil spills and rising tides. Throw in a few Emirates citizens enjoying their profits.

With all due respect, this is my take on my country.   We are not having an identity crisis, unless you call fighting off a takeover by globalists and Marxists an identity crisis.

Biden is part of the problem and not at all the part of any solution, especially when it comes to restoring any kind of order to this country, imo.

I may stand alone here with these thoughts in this partisan echo chamber, but I am far from alone with these concerns at large in a more diverse setting.

But it is hyper partisan here and there is no middle ground on anything.  And that is how the discussions here are constructed.

Is what it is and gets what it gets.  My role here ?  I'm just a speed bump in the rush to get on the road to hell.

My advice to any foreigner looking at this country ... if you want war, endless wars, support Biden.  If you want peace and stable energy supplies, support Trump.

Keep it up.  You're going to help turn out the Trump vote.  And when Trump wins, we'll see who the real rioters are.  And the police that you fought so hard to defund won't be around to save your sorry asses, homes and businesses.  And even if they did, the Soros prosecutors you elected will only turn them lose as soon as their cuffs are removed to go out and do more harm in the name of democracy.

For all the back and forth here about whether Trump meant there would literally be a bloodbath if he lost, let's remember this: 

Right after January 6==the next day IIRC—Trump stated on camera that he condemned the violence and the vandalism at the Capitol Building on that day. He repeated that opinion a week later in a video. 

https://apnews.com/article/tru...
https://www.forbes.com/sites/n...

Now, he starts his rallies by calling the January 6 rioters behind bars "politcal prisoners" and "hostages" and pledging to pardon them on his first day back in office. 

Trump will say any old $hit to stay on the eight side of his supporters. if he faces widespread outrage or condmnation for his remarks, he'll temporarily backpedal or say he was joking or 
say he was taken out of contet

He will do whatever he damn well pleases if he gets into power. Members of his staff reported that when he was not impeached for the phone call to Zelensky, he became bolder because he thought he was bulletprool. And so we got January 6. 

If he wins many if not all of the cases against him will go away as a flunky AG does Trump's bidding. That is not justice in  a democracy. That is dictatorial power best found in the USSR. And Trump will consider himself an untouchable god. 

Things will get far worse during Trump II. Read up on his Project 2025 if you don't believe me: 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...



I think the big danger is losing touch to all those voters in the middle who don't really care for all the hyperbole on either side. Trump sells himself as the kind of cozy middle-American white guy who might not be so intelligent but, boy am I street-smart, you can't fool me kind of guy that seems to sell well. 

So in a way, the hyperventilating about fascism is counterproductive, cause it suddenly makes his detractors look unhinged, even though there is ample evidence to show that the guy is actually unfit for office, quite apart from any political affiliation.

I actually don't think he is competent enough to lead anything very well, not even a fascist government and I remain convinced he is not acting out of conviction. He just likes to bathe in admiration. Sure he might want to be the next Hitler, but only because he imagines millions of people all chanting his name and treating him like a God. 

But he is worlds away from the ruthless, efficient, killing machine that was Nazi Germany. He (and the structures under him) just don't have the competence or skills set to lead people like that, as his last term in office shows. Instead you are basically going to get what you got last time, a shambles. Only this time, its going to be a really GREAT shambles.

.. and yes there is that too.. it's the not-so-innocuous use of hyperbole. To his supporters he passes it off as "just joking" but the sub-text is definitely, I hope you guys act on it anyway, nudge, nudge, wink, wink. That is why J6 happened (also why it was the most pathetic attempt at a coup in history, apart from maybe Prigozhin recently.)

no, the bloodbath was innocuous but boy, the constant rambling and endless stream of bullshit is hard to take.

Today's contribution from Timothy Snyder:

Strongman rule is a fantasy. Essential to it is the idea that a strongman will be your strongman. He won't. In a democracy, elected representatives listen to constituents. We take this for granted, and imagine that a dictator would owe us something. But the vote you cast for him affirms your irrelevance. The whole point is that the strongman owes us nothing. We get abused and we get used to it.

I'll give you that it was a very poor choice of words.  Having said that, I searched and searched for an unedited video that does not stop abruptly after that remark to allow for its actual context. There aren't any, yet.  Your article does make some cloudy inconclusive comment about the context applying to our domestic auto industry and not a predicted civil disturbance.

I'm sure that all you are thinking about is a civil war and that you don't care about any context.

I'll wait to see the whole thing before commenting any further.

Edit:  It is hard to imagine that anyone who has just had a half billion dollars seized by the government is not going to be upset a little bit.  Could be that payback will be a bitch.

I want to see the speech, to make sure they’re not cherry picking but, from the Times this morning, as T speaks on immigration:

He asserted, without evidence, that other countries were emptying their prisons of “young people” and sending them across the border. “I don’t know if you call them ‘people,’ in some cases,” he said. “They’re not people, in my opinion.” He later referred to them as “animals.”
