    But his emails: Trump’s increasingly unhinged calls for violence
    Trump claims he may face death sentence, threatens Joe Biden with "DAY OF RECKONING." This really isn't normal

    Donald Trump is on the warpath. Following his historic felony conviction on hush-money and election interference charges, the ex-president has rapidly escalated his threats of violence and mayhem, along with other forms of cult-leader and dictator rhetoric, in service to his plan for revenge and retribution against those he believes have impeded his ascent to universal worship and glory.

    Reality, of course, is simpler: Donald Trump was convicted by a jury of citizens, based on the overwhelming preponderance of the evidence. There is no conspiracy or witch hunt against him. He is, at best, finally being held somewhat responsible for his decades of obvious criminal conduct.

    Trump’s escalations, as I have repeatedly warned, offer an example of how the personal is political for someone like him, meaning aspiring autocrats and authoritarians. Donald Trump has already promised to be a dictator on “Day One” of his regime if he defeats Joe Biden in November. Trump and his agents’ threats of violence (and not-infrequent acts of violence) serve their authoritarian political project. Trump's personality, emotional life and thinking are centered upon violence and other antisocial behavior. His new status as a convicted criminal and the prospect, however unlikely, that he may actually go to prison have created a form of synergy between the personal and political that is potentially, if not likely explosive as seen on Jan. 6.

    Trump’s recent fundraising emails, alongside his campaign speeches and media interviews, offer a public chronicle of his escalating threats of violence, destruction and revenge. Consider this excerpt from an email I received:

    BIDEN’S SOVIET TACTICS DON’T SCARE ME!

    I’d go to jail AGAIN AND AGAIN if that’s what it took to Save America.

    Because this fight has always been bigger than me, Friend.

    It’s about restoring power where it belongs — TO YOU THE PEOPLE — and ending the tyrannical Biden regime’s reign of terror once and for all.

    In this one, the language is even more explicit:

    THEY OPENED FIRE ON MAGA!

    NOBODY is safe from the RADICAL LEFT WAR MACHINE.

    I warned you this would happen after my rigged conviction.

    This one contains an implicit but barely concealed threat against President Biden, along with the absurd claim that Biden tried to have Trump killed, presented as an incitement that may require a response:

    BIDEN'S DAY OF RECKONING IS COMING

    He tried to publicly torture and humiliate me ... BUT HE FAILED.

    He tried to raid my home and take me out with deadly force... BUT HE FAILED.

    He tried to bury me with so many witch hunts that I'd be forced to quit... BUT HE FAILED.

    STAND WITH TRUMP

    34 RIGGED FELONY CONVICTIONS calls for an unprecedented response.

    And if our response to his tyrannical regime isn't MASSIVE, Biden will move onto his next target: YOU!

    In what is perhaps the most ominous and dangerous of these, Trump literally told his followers in a Thursday email that he might face the death sentence. (Before walking it back just enough, in classic Trump fashion.) The point of the metaphor is clear enough: Trump and his followers face existential danger, and those who remain loyal must be prepared to defend their leader at any cost:

    THEY WANT TO SENTENCE ME TO DEATH!

    You know they’d do it if they could, but Crooked Joe’s team of lowlifes and radical left thugs will settle for a LIFE SENTENCE. ...

    Remember, it’s not me they’re after…

    THEY’RE AFTER YOU - I’M JUST STANDING IN THEIR WAY!

    But with your support,

    I’ll NEVER give up.

    I’LL NEVER SURRENDER! ...

    Your support is the only thing standing between the Biden regime and their ultimate goal of DESTROYING AMERICA ONCE AND FOR ALL.

    I hardly need to state that all of this is a bald-faced lie. Trump's criminal convictions do not carry a potential death sentence — or a potential life sentence either. The prosecutors, judges and law enforcement officers involved in Trump’s felony trial were not obeying Joe Biden’s commands. Whatever one may think of Biden, he's a stickler for the rules of representative democracy, and believes in an independent judiciary.

    Despite the mainstream news media’s dedicated efforts attempts to normalize Trump's propaganda escalations — in this case by largely ignoring them — none of this is normal, at least not in a healthy democracy. Trump’s communications with his most faithful followers should not be seen as bluster or hyperbole. They amount to a coordinated effort to radicalize the most volatile and delusional elements of the MAGA base — and then, perhaps, to mobilize them. Toward what end, exactly? We already have a pretty good idea.

    According to Trump 100% of jobs created during Biden presidency went to undocumented immigrants.
    And anything he makes up his cult swears is true.

    'Trump had severe memory issues': Writer details his meetings with Trump for new book

    https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/poli...&cvid=3e519cb23ce9485f88eb416c26ec9030&ei=110

    The democrats are trying to show Trump as old, with memory issues. The republicans are trying to show Biden as old, with senility setting in.

    It's an election year, and all we have are two geriatric candidates. So that is no surprise. The biggest problem with the media is, the left will try to show us Biden's successes, while totally ignoring his failures. And the right will show Trump's successes while ignoring his failures as well.

    Biased media bullshit, from both the left and right, is we can expect from now until November 5th.

    Yeah, I have been there. The website setup keeps me from using it. I am very picky, if a site isn't well setup I won't use it. Same reason I don't use Yahoo news.

    I also don't use apps at all, never have.
