Something more along the lines of a "blood bath" at worst, but at the very least, an ideological disruption and chaos, of democracy, the constitution and the country.

So on the right, we have Project 2025, "mob-boss" Trump, J6 insurrectionists, election deniers, the utter total collapse and gutting of the Repubs / GOP and the RNC party...what does it all mean?
Could it be smaller parts of a larger picture? Or simply to sow the seeds of chaos, all while steadfast in the "march and drum beat" towards "civil unrest" or worst, "civil war", as the right (many times) have often claimed they want?

Posts: 1104Still Trump as the Failure...
Projection, hypocrisy and bullshit is that all you have on border security? Naturally, when you don't have the truth, you don't real facts and you don't have the rule of law...good ol' Elvis 2008, will try to dazzle you with bullshit!
Repubs, much like their cowardice of leader, Trump, continue to the fill the room with bullshit, "laptop dick pics" conspiracies and a penchant for utter nonsense.

I image after Sect. DOH Alejandro Mayorka, schooled Chip Roy, he did his due diligence and investigative homework and indeed found that during (2016 to 2020), the TRUMP administration was indeed to blame for the failure of the border, as he dutifully explains in the one (1) recent videos and article, I provided, dated Mar 12th, 2024 and Dec 20th, 2023, here: http://www.internationalsexguide.nl/...=1#post2902160
The most recent video and article I provide, definitely shows Chip Roy's updated border security world view, and without a doubt, squarely places the blame on TRUMP!
Chip Roy may be "boisterous" and "passionate", but he's not lying. He's telling the truth. When Repubs had ALL-3 Branches of Gov't and failed and couldn't pass anything on border security.
Put simply, Repubs, "wet the bed" and did nothing, when they had ALL-3 Branches of Gov't, which is per for course, with Repubs.

Trump is the perfect Repub lord and savior because he is The Worst President of All Time Who Produced The Worst Results of All Time.
Repub Party voters love him for that. It isn't as though they didn't "see" the crap results he produced and csn't "see" Bidrn's far, far better, historically positive results. They see both very clearly. It is just that they hate Biden for producing those far superior results for America and love Trump for shitting all over the country the way he did and the way he promises to do again if only given the chance.
That has always been what most reasonable, well-meaning observers totally miss about the Repub Party. LOL. I get a kick out of how many times observers like that are "shocked" and "astonished" by some fresh new America-hating move by that Party's leadership and ranks. They have refused to see what is right there to be seen and understood about the Repub Party since at least Nixon. Even I failed to see it until about a year into Reagan's first term as so-called potus. Hell, I was even hanging onto a ridiculous, unfounded in the historical data "False Equivalency", "Bothsiderism" view of it as late as 1992!
I realized and accepted the shameful error of my ways after that. The historical and recent data, verifiable results and easily observable reality made it impossible to ignore after that.

I mean, damn, you can see that Chip Roy idiot is full of energy, vim, vigor and purpose.
So why the hell don't Repubs ever put all that energy into producing something in their recent history that they can actually run on instead of relying on their benefactors in Mainstream Media to lie, twist and spin it in their favor and then still have to encite violent cop-attacking and cop-killing mobs of Insurrectionists to storm the Capitol to steal the votes they can't win on the merits?
Such a sad waste of good and important seats in the House, the Senate and that chair in the Oval Office.

The Securities and Exchange Commission approved a merger between Trump Media & Technology Group and Digital World Acquisition Corp. , a blank-check company, which would allow the Trump media enterprise to be a publicly traded company.
A blank-check company is a "special purpose acquisition company" formed to raise funds via an initial public offering without identifying the precise use of the funds. It is publicly traded even though it does not have an established business plan or a designated potential merger opportunity.
Trump's stake in this merger could be worth $4 billion. That is enough capital to pay all the civil liability claims in the cases that have been decided and the cases that are pending.
Yeah, that was brilliant. You made Trump $4 billon richer.
You think the story here is that Trump is out of money. No, the story here is no financial company was willing to put up the bond because they would be liable for the verdict, and they all think the legal system in New York is that fucking crazy. Bond companies would stand to make a lot on issuance of the bond and if they thought the appeals courts would be reasonable and reduce the amount, which they usually do on crazy numbers like this, they would lend it, but they are not.
So what does that mean? It means no fucking way in hell New York is seeing that $454 million.
And the media does not want to let the cat out of the bag and show how impotent the prosecutor really is at this point. So she sends out a fellow prosecutor to make this video: https://www.realclearpolitics.com/vi..._judgment.html.
Yeah, she could put a padlock on Trump Tower and we could have nuclear war too, and nuclear war is probably more likely. Putting a padlock on Trump tower means people cannot get into their homes, the businesses in the building go under, and all the employees get to file unemployment. So what this video is really saying is there is nothing she can do.
You wait on the Appeals Court and then it could go to the Supreme Court and that is going to take time. At this point, this court case has gone at lightning speed, and it has done so because it has nothing to do with the citizens of New York. It has to deal with rigging an election and so it probably will continue that way. We are used to corrupt Democratic judges and prosecutors trying to rig elections at this point, and it is not working.
Why is that the case? From Newsweek, If the Democrats want to prevail over Trump in 2024, they will have to find far better strategies than convincing half the country that they are weaponizing law enforcement to remove the de facto leader of the opposition in the manner of a threatened banana republic supremo.
That is what you guys do not get. At this point, people are just not voting for Trump. They are voting against a banana republic.

Chip Roy was a Desantis supporter. Oops!
And then there was the lie you just told that Hunter Biden's laptop was Trump's fault. That had nothing to do with Trump. The issue with that was before the election was the intelligence agencies said the information on the laptop was Russian disinformation which was a lie.
And Joe Biden lied and said the laptop may not have belonged to Hunter.
And Hunter Biden lied and said the same thing.
And after that did not work, Hunter sued the shop which gave the FBI the laptop.
Instead of holding the tax payers funded intelligence agencies liable for lying, you go off on a rant about Fox News and disinformation.
And let's not forget what is in the laptop. It shows Hunter Biden fucking underage women, snorting cocaine, and showing payoffs not just to Hunter from China and Ukraine but to the "big guy", Joe Biden himself. And people should just ignore all that. What is on that laptop is a Trump plot.
And because you cannot defend that nor the insanity at the border, you have to lie about it.
So now we know what real disinformation is. Disinformation is telling the truth when Democrats are lying.

And yet, here we are!
70 millions can't all be "the dumbest", I'm afraid. There are other forces in play. Apparently, this daily thoughtless reciting of the Pledge of Allegiance in American schools doesn't do shit. Perhaps a full-pledged, multi-year school program on why democracy is non-negotiable and why this country is so fortunate compared to so many others would do.
And, I dare say, may be some Constitutional amendments that would bolt the gate to any authoritarian or totalitarian trying to wheel themselves in the White House is in order.

- "President Trump also failed to actually fully secure the border. If we'd gotten the policies in place, if he had worked with conservatives to get bills passed in 2018-19, we wouldn't be in the mess were in right now." -- Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX)
-- EihTooms, told you it was TRUMP!
-- I, told you it was TRUMP!
-- Repub Chip Roy, is telling you, it was TRUMP! When Repubs had all 3-branches of gov't.
-- All evidence put forth is telling you, it has been and was ALWAYS TRUMP, as far back as 2018!

You want to find a villians, perpetrators and liars to blame for all of that harm and fallout?
Here, let me help you with that:
Trump disbanded NSC pandemic unit that experts had praised.
Trump administration cut pandemic early warning program in September (2019).
Predict project wound down three months before outbreak.
https://apnews.com/article/donald-tr...3b873e56f80e9a
https://www.theguardian.com/world/20...re-coronavirus
Bob Woodward Was Stunned By What Trump Told Young Son Barron About Coronavirus.
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/bob-w...091902598.html
TRUMP: "It came out of China. And it shouldve been stopped. And to be honest with you, Barron, they shouldve let it be known it was a problem two months earlier ... the world wouldnt have a problem. We could have stopped it easily.
Keeping Obama's Early Warning / Pandemic "Prevention" system in place was the point, in order to Prevent Trump's Pandemic from developing in the first place rather than merely leaving it to Trump to totally botch his response" to it, which he did.
Meanwhile, as far as Joe Biden's contribution to dealing with and responding to Trump's Pandemic and all of the disastrous fallout from it, you should only be praising the fact that HIS recovery from it has been and still is the Best and Strongest on Planet Earth.
Oh, and that very well might have been because he had Dr. Anthony Fauci in the USA to advise and contribute to that recovery while no other country did.
U.S. Leads the World in Post-Pandemic Economic Recovery.

Thanks, Joe, the Dems in Congress and Anthony.

Hey, I've got a little inside secret to share with you about the REALITY of Trump's Pandemic from someone who lived on the direct opposite side of the planet all through it:
There were CLOSURES throughout the entire country of Thailand. Schools were closed. Malls were closed. Restaurants were closed. For MONTHS if not YEARS at a time.
Masks were mandated virtually everywhere. As was Social Distancing.
Again, for months if not years.
An Economic Catastrophe? Holy shit yes. Bangkok, the most visited tourist destination city on Earth was a fucking ghost town for months if not years.
But here is the secret. Are you ready for this? Don't tell anyone else. Especially your beloved pro Repub Mainstream Media, ok?
Here goes:
Almost nobody here ever heard of Dr. Fauci.
Really.
They damn near barely heard of Joe Biden in early 2020.
They barely knew what a "Democrat" or a "Republican" was.
And they didn't care.
They had their own scientists, their own research teams, their own statistics on who was getting so ill they were flooding the private rooms in the private hospitals, who was dying from it and why, who was likely to carry it back to their friends and family, which regions it was spreading in most rapidly and why and on and on and on.
They were not "obeying" Dr. Fauci, Joe Biden or anyone in any other country. They were doing exactly what was necessary at every interval in order to reduce as many deaths as possible in THIS country until a time when a decent supply of vaccines that Trump was busy trying to convince the world were not necessary were here, available and then, guess what, they were mandated if you wanted to go anywhere, travel anywhere or enter a room with more than 5-10 other people in it.
Nothing whatsoever to do with the people you think caused you so much angst in America.
Shh. Don't tell anyone. Just keep up that silly ranting about how you were victimized by Dr. Fauci and Joe Biden.

Posts: 5428The list keeps growing
Seriously, what does it say about a nominee's fitness for Office as well as the verifiable and defensible record results of his previous term that every VP of the 3 most recent Repub Presidencies, including his own, along with dozens of Cabinet-level and other members of his own administration who knew him well, worked next to him, observed him on a daily basis and know what he is up to and all about have gone public in opposing his re-election?
It really is astonishing, unprecedented in Presidential Electoral History. And so telling.
Damn. Just look at this list!
List of Republicans who oppose the Donald Trump 2024 presidential campaign.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List...ntial_campaign
Yes, of course, in keeping with my usual non partisan openness to giving every Political Party a free and fair opportunity to win my vote and support based solely on each Party's long, long, long term record of results and never based solely on Party Affiliation, I entered the same Google Search topic for Joe. Biden's re-election campaign. And I even found a Fux News link for it, which I am happy to include here:
List of Democrats opposed to Biden running for re-election grows with addition of vulnerable congresswoman.
Aug. 2022
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/lis...-congresswoman
https://theweek.com/joe-biden/101540...nge-biden-2024
So, I found some lady named Craig, another one named Williamson and that Phillips guy, who ran a pathetic campaign for the Dem nomination vs Biden. Maybe that Williamson lady is running too, not sure. And I suppose she is or was a Dem, too. Again, not sure. And there is West and that anti-vax conspiracy theory weirdo RFK Jr. I have no idea what Party he belongs to anymore. Maybe the Pro Measles Party.
But I know none of them worked with Biden directly or were ever members of his administration.
