The white supremacists believe in the coming race war, this is what the "boogaloo" community is about.
It's actually pretty scary because they have been chomping at the bit to get started and they are the only side ready to go at a moments notice and they are EXCITED TO DO SO
They're gonna have fun with the end of days fundies
Same bullshit that triggered the Jan. 6th insurrection. He's going to deny he lost the house.
They are detaining Canadians at the border accusing them of voting in US elections.
For him, it is the final battle. He is one bad election away from jail and he is on track to lose. Decent Americans (yes, they exist) just need to show up this time.
Unrealistic. He is one 'bad' election away from being somewhat inconvenienced by having to just always explicitly ignore congress and do whatever he wants without repercussions. If GOP wins as few as three of the senate races that happen, he's 100% safe from the only consequence considered valid: removal from office.
No criminal prosecution, that's already established as 'not applicable' by the supreme court, on top of the long standing policy of not holding a president currently in office accountable for anything.
In 2028, ok, maybe he could face consequences in theory if all the mechanisms actually work. Very skeptical, and even if he could, it moves at a snail's pace and they'll probably run him again in 2032 because they don't have any better ideas.
Yeah with his health, pretty sure he'll die before facing any consequence. He's really good at slowing down these things it seems.
This just happened to Hungary's Trump, Viktor Orban. Before the election, everyone said an ouster of Orban was unrealistic.
Personally, I think the USA is no longer a democracy and that the game is over. Americans meekly put rings through their noses and tied themselves to a fascist dictatorship. After all that tough-guy cosplay with the guns and 'don't tread on me' and 'muh freedumb!!', it turns out Americans are either fascists or little bitches.
However, I would be thrilled to be proven wrong.
I don't know about Hungary, but it's hard to imagine GOP turning on Trump when they have basically bet it all on Trump.
The argument against convicting on January 6th was evidently "let the criminal justice system take care of it and avoid putting ourselves at odds with his fanatics".
I suspect they similarly might be hoping for his health to catch up to him and take care of the problem without pissing off Trump fans.
I suppose they might throw Trump, Hegseth, Miller and Patel under the bus to try to give Vance some run up to 2028 and scapegoat the "bad apples" and pivot to a claimed image of some respectable, responsible party... But it seems a long shot... Vance was still very deep on on this bullshit, but most people probably are oblivious to that...
And therein lies the problem. The decent Americans are too misinformed by the polls, they'll complacently stay at home. That, or they're too lazy and arrogant to vote for anyone but their ideal candidate, they'll sit it out as a show of virtue posturing.
You guys are really speedrunning the third reich thing, aren't you?
Weimar Republic had seven year terms and no limit. These guys were too incompetent and wasted their first term and can’t balance breaking everything vs making too many voters mad before this last midterms. They basically have a month left to do or die before people get elected who will ~~hold them accountable~~ prevent them from running completely rampant.
They're rushing it cuz they fail to form it properly, I get the feeling the internet has made the old facist takeover playbook obsolete since evidence of crimes is documented and shared more quickly and people act against it faster and in a more organized fassion then these groups can deal with.
Casting out the fascists? So... Themselves?
This is a "dog whistle" plea to Christians, in my opinion. The final battle refers to The Apocalypse, when Christians are rescued by the Army of Jesus Christ. After all of the Christians are safe, Jesus and His Holy Army will butcher every non-Christian on the face of the Earth, and the resulting ocean of blood will be as "deep as a horse's bridle". (this is clearly described in the Bible).
Fun fact: Churches pay no taxes! They get tax benefits that are over and above any "non-profit". So, we all finance and enable this tripe. Not only do we pay for this moronic ad, we shoulder the burden for churches, mosques, and temples.
These faiths are already unfathomably wealthy. The Catholic Church owns more land than any other organization, something like 170 million acres.
But the emails.
SCOTUS allows a party to steal government money now?
"steal government money"?
They already let a pedophilic, human trafficking, treasonous, rapist off the hook for everything and you think they care about OUR money?
Is that what I think?
It's supposedly a "PSA" celebrating America and not partisan in any way. Which would be a hilarious defense if they weren't paying so much to air this in the most expensive ad slots during sports.
I doubt it'll make a difference come midterms, but if we had a remotely functional supreme court this would be immediatley challenged. It shouldn't have reached the point of spending $315k of taxpayer money per single game ad slot.
The Trump administration is a rabid animal that needs to be put down.

It’s a bit terrifying how the entire country is just walking forward into this.
What does this comment even mean? What’s the alternative?

This is undoubtedly a crime and every minion involved needs to be prosecuted and imprisoned for it once crimes are illegal again.
