There is at the very least a 50% chance that trump will be assassinated. TPTB can simply not allow him to be elected president again. They will do anything to stop him.

Here's hoping for once you are right Brock.

I stopped watching as soon as I saw it was Tucker Carlson.

Two things:

1. I refuse to listen to ANYTHING Tucker Carlson has to say. He could be reciting the Declaration of Independence and I wouldn't listen to him.
2. I don't wish for anyone's assassination. I only wish for Trump to be prevented from running for President again. AND... to get whatever just punishment he deserves for having incited the Jan 6th riots.

... AND for trying to steal the election by coercing election officials.
... AND for having manipulated and hidden the facts during the course of the COVID pandemic.
... AND for whatever else can be proven in a criminal aspect.

“Cannot allow him to be elected President again” yeh he’s doing a damn fine job off of loss and repeated failed endorsements State to State. The man will never come close to fifty percent. Math just doesn’t add up. Keep rootin for the grifting traitor stuck on rewind at the detriment of Republic. Man so tough and rehearsed mean mugging that he literally phoned it in and avoided confrontation. Just hope he didn’t lie about his foot size too those shower shoes need to be comfy!

Yup.

I saw Carlson 14 seconds in and shut it off.

I can't help it at this point. It's a hardwired reflex.

He doesn't have to come anywhere near close to fifty percent to win. He needs 270 electoral college votes to win and because of the fact that GOP voters are more evenly distributed amongst the states he can win with 46%.

Or with even substantially less. The reason? Third, fourth or fifth party votes.

Cornell West is running against him. This guy is a radical left academic who has been a talking head on various channels including Fox when they want a looney lefty over the years. The only thing West hates more than the GOP is the Democratic party who he considers corporate sellouts. He has a massive tax bill and like Jill Stein back in 2016 (whose vote totals in WI PA and MI handed the presidency to Trump) is being funded by dark money. He has apparently managed to run up a tax bill and I'm guessing this will be wiped out for him as part of the deal. West, a black man, only needs to sttract a tiny percentage of the lefty/socialist black vote and that could easily be enough. See here from a former GOP political strategist:

This is deceiving. A Biden +4 or +5 nationally is effectively an electoral vote tie. The entire race comes down to if fewer than 250k voters across PA, MI, WI, and AZ who voted for Biden in 2020 do so again. If they sit it out or vote for a third candidate, Trump wins.

Then there's RFK Junior. I don't think he'll go third party but he's got the requisite Trump-like levels of narcissism and spite to run as a Trump booster. There's a huge chunk of the Democratic base open to antivax and endless other conspiracy theories and this is virgin territory due to the Democratic party being basically sane and not exploiting this shit. Junior could cause some voters to stay at home at the very least.


By far the biggest threat is No Labels. If they do what they seem to be planning to do and recruit a plausible figurehead like Manchin that would effectively hand the election to Trump no matter how badly he does. They've already raised nearly a hundred million and one of the big donors is Clarence Thomas's sugar daddy. You might wonder why GOP billionaires who've spent decades funding GOP candidates might suddenly simultaneously support a third party candidate eh:

Lots more out there to read about these fuckers. Bottom line is political strategists on both sides think Trump wins easily if they put up a credible candidate and of course they only seem to be trying to get on the ballot in blue and purple states. How about that.


More generally I think you're whistling past the graveyard here a little bit. The old GOP is no more. Nearly eighty percent of GOP voters are voting Trump or Ron in the primaries and Ron is running to the right of Trump on every issue. They're a full blown fascist cult now and that isn't going to reverse. Look at the ties for fuck's sake:

It's only a matter of time until circumstances conspire to get either Trump or a future fascist cult leader elected and you can work out how it's going to go from there without too much effort. America is in big trouble sooner or later.

Great to read that the Proud Boys' former leader Enrique Tarrio has been jailed for 22 years for orchestrating the attack on the US Capitol on 6 January 2021.

That's racist, he's Hispanic. Proud boys are white racists

[Kirkland Laing]

Like all strongmen, Trump thinks big and is unencumbered by moral precepts or other checks on behavior. Such leaders specialize in getting others to do things that were previously unthinkable, like planning an assault on the U.S. Capitol, and they lead their enablers to think that they will get away with everything as long as they stay loyal.










Meadows is at the center of this story of authoritarian corruption and violence. Every coup has a central figure who has privileged access to the individual or individuals leading the takeover and acts as the liaison of the co-conspirators. Here that person was Meadows. His desperate attempt
to get his case moved to federal court from Georgia by claiming that he acted as a federal officer out to safeguard "free and fair elections" is belied by a mountain of evidence, not least the chilling texts Meadows exchanged with GOP lawmakers Chip Roy and Mike Lee between Nov. 2020 and Jan. 6, 2021.

You’ve probably already forgotten about Aaron Van Landevelde. You shouldn’t, though.

He was one of that small band of brothers and sisters who actually stopped the steal in 2020 and ended the Trump presidency. Tim Alberta told his story in Politico:

In the end, it wasn’t a senator or a judge or a general who stood up to the leader of the free world. There was no dramatic, made-for-Hollywood collision of cosmic egos. Rather, the death knell of Trump’s presidency was sounded by a baby-faced lawyer, looking over his glasses on a grainy Zoom feed on a gloomy Monday afternoon, reading from a statement that reflected a courage and moral clarity that has gone AWOL from his party, pleading with the tens of thousands of people watching online to understand that some lines can never be uncrossed.

Van Langevelde was a member of Michigan’s board of state canvassers, the ministerial body with the sole authority under state law to make Joe Biden’s victory over Trump official.
Republicans were heavily pressuring the young lawyer to block the certification of Biden’s victory. He refused.


[...]



As a result of his stand, Van Langevelde was later removed from the board, even as the Michigan GOP quadrupled down on election denialism. On Monday, the NYT’s Nick Corasaniti documented the party’s extraordinary crazification and collapse.

Shows how even the most determined interviewer just bounces off glib bullshitters.

From incels to in cells. Sentenced towards the lower end of the possible sentence length by a Trump-appointed judge. It should have been a lot longer.

Would Trump release this guy if he became president?
