The Bolton raid is only partly a distraction. It is the beginning of a full-on assault on Trump's enemies, possibly including Obama, Clinton, and Biden, as well as anyone else who ever looked at him cross-eyed. Look for Trump to provoke violence, invoke the Insurrection Act, and declare nationwide martial law. He is insane and drunk with power, and he will not tolerate anything except absolute control.
Linda, we both know this will not end well for this pathetic loser. Something is bound to go wrong and soon. His vengeance will be his undoing. Sooner or later, someone is going to turn on him or just blow his head off. I can see a big fight brewing for our freedom and democracy. People are starting to see this is way beyond normal. When the tariffs hit which for most items will be in the next thirty days, you will see people finally disgusted. I think we need to really fight and or somebody needs to step up and eliminate this madman. Things never go well for dictators.
I hope you're right, but Hitler was in power for 12 years, Mussolini for 21 years, and Franco for 36 years. Trump now controls all the levers of power and there is virtually no one who can stop him.
He's a spoiled, disconnected idiot. You can see that in the actions that he has ordered.
Unfortunately, after Felon is gone, comes a monster of an organization, the Heritage Foundation, and other very wealthy supporters of a very dark vision of our Country.
Their plans and values are quite dismal, hovering over all of us via the Master Dunce, Vance. He is just a clumsy cardboard cut-out taped to the door of the Heritage Foundation.
Seventy-seven million people voted for him. That's a lot of mean, stupid, ignorant people, many of whom would be happy to work as storm troopers and concentration camp guards. We are the new Germans and this is the Fourth Reich.
Yes, this is scary as hell. From the the comments I've read on other sites, you are right. There are still MANY who stick up for the Dick-tator and love all of the destruction Felon47 is doing to this country and are calling it "promises kept." It's hard to understand their reasoning and it's not just the MAGA nuts. It's almost comical that Felon47 is deploying the National Guard to combat crime, when he is the biggest criminal in Washington DC.
When the resistance really comes with weapons, etc, it will be an OMG moment for most. People purposely don't read, don't want to know. That is how he got elected. They were too lazy to look at reality, but they will sure as hell pay attention when their neighborhoods are under siege.
I agree. We can't dismiss Trumpstein's actions as simple distractions. They are double edged swords. This is the phase to ensure power remains his:
1. Redistricting through mid-decade gerrymandering.
2. Masked, armed military on blue cities to deter minority voters from showing up to vote.
3. Masked, armed military forces in DC, where elections results are decided.
4. Go after AGs in blue states who are attacking him.
5. Go after all journalists reporting issues that oppose his version of reality on what matters most to his base.
6. Go after the political and personal, which are one and the same, to ensure no competition at elections.
7. Go after the federal reserve board to manipulate the market for his gain and political leverage.
8. Remove top leadership of military and national security to ensure compliance in application of Martial Law.
9. No checks and balances from Congress and SCOTUS.
10. Remove/reduce power from lower federal courts.
11. Force the shift to a dictatorship on the economic front to copy China's model of government ownership of "private" businesses (aka communism?)
12. Force people to become poorer and more desperate to do cheap labor with no benefits, destroy union power, change laws on overtime pay qualifications and child labor, increase prices, increase inflation, lower dollar value, increase unemployment,...all self induced through the use of tariffs.
13. Put immigrants in concentration camps to make money for the private prison companies, which in turn are funneling him money for his 2028 campaign fund. Yes, I know it's not constitutional, but who is stopping him.
We still see Americans act as if nothing is different, carrying on with business as usual. We need more people on the streets to make a difference.
I have lived through communism before, and never ever do I want that in my life again. America had the perfect balance of socialism and capitalism in a constitutional Republic protecting everyone, unlike in a democracy where only the majority gets their way. I want that back!
Donnie will never run out of tricks because he now owns this country with a lock, stock and barrel. People seem oblivious to the extent of damage he is doing on a daily basis. The truth is that Dicktator for a Day has jumped the shark and we are now a full blown autocracy. The problem is that it will take many months for the public to understand, if they even want to understand, how much is now lost under the thumb of Don the Dicktator. It all looks quite normal on the surface but it is far from that.
Sad that Americans are sleepwalking through the loss of democracy. It will hit them soon when they can't shop and spend like they used to. They lose their healthcare or a job. When this wave of malcontent washes over America, people will be shocked into their new reality. So far, the assholes in Congress and many misinformed Americans are not paying attention, and this is how we got here in the first place. Do people still find this sick bastard funny and entertaining? They voted for a compulsive liar and 30 30-time convicted felon for their president.
I sincerely hope and pray you are right, Sarah and Jason. The thing is, something has to happen here. We have to see some real repercussions, some kind of real impeachment proceeding commencing. It may well be true that the tide is changing, but we also need to see real proof that there is some movement to take this maniac out. Permanently. Out.
The tide is not changing. High tide is overwhelming policy, norms, laws, everything. So far most people are focused on their own life because they already know Don the Dicktator is unstoppable.
Quite the opposite. I am suggesting that too many are asleep in front of the tv, not paying attention, not alarmed. To my eye it looks as though there is no need to give up when people are already mostly powerless. To my eye this is the most corrupt and dangerous POTUS in our history and he is winning. I don't have an answer but I see clearly what is happening. I think it is going to take some sort of outright fight to keep the republic and I fear that the masses have already given in.
Nancy, I see what you are saying and it's hard to see a fighting strategy when the Supreme Court keeps giving him more and more power. Felon47 never has any consequences for his crimes. Now that the $500 million dollar fine has been lifted, again, NO consequences for breaking the law.
I agree completeky that the answer is not at all clear and the manner of the fight remains to be seem. The truth is that don and his cult of thugs is not going to stop so if we want anything left our way or political life we will have to fight for it. As with the Civil War there came a point where guns were the only way to save the country. Asking nicely never works with a sick autocrat. We may be doomed to permanent MAGALAND MURICA. THEY WANT IT ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I completely agree, Nancy. We need more than protests, which they are easily ignoring. There has to be a major rising up. A revolution. We are at a historic crossroads, and it’s going to necessitate a massive and organized response.
I find it interesting that tRump was found with rooms full of secret documents at Mar A Lago and not even a handslap. Now, he's sending his henchmen after a perceived enemy for the same issue . . . I have no doubt that something will be procured so that the DOJ can continue the witch hunt. Our country isn't going to hell in a handbasket, we're there 😞
Of Course he did, and it was a pathetic fail!! The raid on BOLTON, was a distraction from the Maxwell release of the Epstein files. Trump ia a sick and disturbed peso. I hope all his cronies go to jail, and then go to hell for eternity!
No one has ever gotten away with so much, including sex trafficking, as Donald Trump. Its just unbelievable that magats consider this guy one of them. The average guy. Far from it. Wake up MORONS.

Felon is no Hitler.
He's a spoiled, disconnected idiot. You can see that in the actions that he has ordered.
Unfortunately, after Felon is gone, comes a monster of an organization, the Heritage Foundation, and other very wealthy supporters of a very dark vision of our Country.
Their plans and values are quite dismal, hovering over all of us via the Master Dunce, Vance. He is just a clumsy cardboard cut-out taped to the door of the Heritage Foundation.
I hope we are not as dumb as the Germans and Italians from decades ago. Someone needs to end him.
Seventy-seven million people voted for him. That's a lot of mean, stupid, ignorant people, many of whom would be happy to work as storm troopers and concentration camp guards. We are the new Germans and this is the Fourth Reich.
Yes, this is scary as hell. From the the comments I've read on other sites, you are right.

Pure Irony. He doesn't know he did anything wrong because never in this life is he accoutable.
That's the scary part: I'm not so sure "we are not as dumb..." 😠
When the resistance really comes with weapons, etc, it will be an OMG moment for most. People purposely don't read, don't want to know. That is how he got elected. They were too lazy to look at reality, but they will sure as hell pay attention when their neighborhoods are under siege.
When this happens, and it does happen, it's up to the people around him to help get him out of his leadership position and into an asylum.
Put him in a padded cell and give him a fake phone so he thinks he's in control.
I agree. We can't dismiss Trumpstein's actions as simple distractions. They are double edged swords. This is the phase to ensure power remains his:

Right on the money.
I’m a native Texan and I am a Democratic voter. I am so thankful for the Texas Democratic Party and I am especially grateful to Governor Newsom.
Everything tRump has come up with is to distract…but this time it’s not working!!!
Nothing distracts people from higher prices everywhere.
Donnie will never run out of tricks because he now owns this country with a lock, stock and barrel. People seem oblivious to the extent of damage he is doing on a daily basis.

Sounds like you might be suggesting we give up…
Quite the opposite. I am suggesting that too many are asleep in front of the tv, not paying attention, not alarmed.

Changing, Where, and when. Sadly, the protests are not working; we need to fight. Does anyone know about the American Revolution? We are there.

But it all makes him super dangerous. Beware of worse things to befall us all.
Of Course he did, and it was a pathetic fail!! The raid on BOLTON, was a distraction from the Maxwell release of the Epstein files. Trump ia a sick and disturbed peso. I hope all his cronies go to jail, and then go to hell for eternity!
Oh yes he did! He was a big player in the scandal that is Epstein and his pedophilia!
Guilty by association!
The Democrats need to address the “Corporate” Democrats and oust oust the traitors sabotaging votes in the House and Senate.
E.G;They supported the the Big Fat Ugly Bill which supports the Trump regimes death machine via legislation and policy.
Fetterman was very obvious with Trump just before the vote.
Traitors to the party need to be primaries or expelled.
I agree with that. It's like a whole white house full of 4 year olds
His most dangerous tricks will be:
Martial Law,
Denying the ‘26 losses in the MidTerms ,
Using the Nat’l Guard to intimidate and “protect” voters,
Declaring the election results null and void.
Arresting poll workers AND voters waiting in line
HE WILL DO ANYTHING to avoid facing the music 🎶!
And yet the majority of Vets voted for TFG..after he called them suckers and losers.
I just don’t get it. He never respected veterans and now he has spit in their faces.
I’ve missed you!
No one has ever gotten away with so much, including sex trafficking, as Donald Trump. Its just unbelievable that magats consider this guy one of them. The average guy. Far from it. Wake up MORONS.
