A second Trump term would have Rule and Law - separate and not equal. Trump would make sure laws don’t apply to republicans.

We’ll they’d have to be actually trying to win more voters to their side, rather than counting on gerrymandering, intimidation, lying broadcast media, lying social media, or a violent overthrow of those who do get elected.

They: the law protects but does not bind. The rest of us: the law binds but it does not protect.

I guess I should be worried about a second Trump term.

But honestly, I am also kinda worried about all the Republicans that are lining up behind Donald Trump to do exactly the same as he if they get their chance.

Sorta of overwhelming.

Rep. Mike Johnson Says He’s ‘Not Trying To’ Make Christianity The National Religion (msn.com)

Johnson: I’m not trying to establish christianity as the national religion, that is not what this is about. If you believe in the bible commands and seek to follow those, it is impossible to be hateful person.

Immediately fact checked

Counterpoint: Damn near everything Christian Nationalists do is hateful

Even Mike Johnson’s mom agrees.🙄 “God did this,” she said. “… It’s so good for America.

ike Johnson should tour some European torture museums so he can see how “correct” Christian doctrine was imposed on those deemed to be deviant in their beliefs: https://ricksteves.com/watch-read-listen/read/articles/torture-museums-in-europe

Everyday I read about another Christian that molested children, so….

Dude literally attempted to install an unelected dictator just a few months ago.

Not quite correct.

TIFG would make sure laws don’t apply to his supplicants. Not all Republicans are supplicants.

You’re worried about the “D” team??? Are you kidding me - if trump is re-elected he’s not leaving. It doesn’t matter what lawyers he hires. Picture this; Mike Flynn as secretary of defense! Let’s not kid ourselves as to why Tuberville is holding up military promotions, do you really think he give a shit about a service members abortion? He’s holding the positions open so trump can pack the military commanders with loyalists. And before you say anything about senate approval, remember the last two years of his presidency he never bothered to involve the senate at all.

A second T* “Administration” can NOT happen. It will spell the end of our Constitutional republic. I don’t think there are enough crazies to vote that orange monster to office again, but I am deathly afraid that I’m wrong.

You’d think the future presidential hopefuls in the GOP would keep this in mind.

FBI Director Christopher Wray: Anti-Semitism is reaching a “historic level” in the United States.

YEP, because if you say ANYTHING about Israel going overboard you are anti-semitic in the views of many. ENOUGH with the aid to Israel until they stop their apartheid.

The Corporate Controlled Conservative Press is all in for Trump. Nothing will stop them from going to the same rural Ohio diner to speak to the same 12 Trumpettes whom they consider to be real 'murkins!
