Politics Post your predictions for the next 4 years of Trump's 2nd tenure as President

BTW, if Trump goes through with mass deportations, anyone that thinks it ends there is fooling themselves. When you don't have real policy, you need shiny objects for your subjects to focus on. MAGA needs enemies. When the Hispanics are dispelled and the women are put back into the kitchen and being LGBTQ is a outlawed but the economy still is struggling, they'll need another "them" to blame it on. You better hope it isn't you.

 

Sounds like Trump's kind of guy.

 

Becerra is a lawyer also. As per Wikipedia.

 

Has he spread misinformation about vaccines and have no history of administration, too ?

 

Diphtheria was called the strangler. The unfortunate sufferer slowly turned blue and strangled on thick mucus that clogged the airways. Death was excruciating and slow.

Vaccine had almost made diphtheria obsolete. Until now.

In Spain, the child of antivaxxer parents died of diphtheria. The stricken parents had their surviving child vaccinated.

The future of America.

 

Almost, if that were an American antivaxxer couple, they would have blamed the child's death on immigrants and/or the queers and kept on their merry way

 

Expect major assault on First Amendment.
Trump has already filed $10 billion lawsuits against CBS, claiming without evidence Kamala Harris was totally incoherent in 60 Minutes interview and they altered tape to make her sound good.
New York Times spent months breathlessly informing us Biden is old. Months sanewashing Trump's remarks. Not enough. They ran a highly critical article and two Times reporters wrote a book detailing how Trump squandered the fortune he inherited from his father. Trump has filed $10 billion lawsuits against the Times and against the reporters.

Unlikely even this Supreme court will side with him although who knows. But CBS and Times will spend months, possibly years in court dealing with motions, subpoenas for irrelevant material, depositions, appeals, totalling millions of dollars in legal fees. Not a problem for Trump since he doesn't pay his lawyers.

Most news organizations just don't have those deep pockets. They will self censor, avoid printing or airing anything that might upset or embarrass Trump. Fascism doesn't just use force, they use threat of force.

And more enforced Christianity Oklahoma style. Forced Christian prayer and indoctrination in schools, taxpayer funded Christian schools.

Use of force against protesters.

But lots of guns! God bless Second Amendment!

 

I get where you are coming from, but, if this happens, we're veering so far into fascism so quickly that the United States might as well as never have existed.

Media are notoriously difficult to successfully sue, and conglomerates like this already spend a lot of money keeping great firms on retainer.

It's highly doubtful Trump or anyone associated with him even would get beyond the first step in a case like this which is to prove they have standing.

For that to happen, the judges wouldn't just have to be bad, but they'd have to be thoroughly corrupt on a level that I just haven't seen yet.

 

Anyway, the point isn't to tell you you're wrong, it's just this isn't at the top of the list to worry about just yet.

 

I agree successfully suing is unlikely but even unsuccessful suit wll cost media a lot of money and trouble so they might seek to avoid the wrath of Trump.

 

Hopefully the courts see fit to end it quickly and remove the incentive for this kind of action.

Any way they can fine Trump for abusing the litigation system?

There are, but there also are anti-Cannons out there and there are some judge good judges.
