I take this as a direct threat against all of us. After all most of us here are U.S. citizens. And if you are a U.S. citizen and don’t take this as a threat directly towards you, you better wake up.


‘On Thursday, in an interview with right-wing talk radio host Hugh Hewitt, former President Donald Trump appeared to issue a vague threat to the Justice Department against indicting him.

Trump said that "I would have no prohibition against running," when he asked whether he would still run for office with an indictment.

"I think, if it happened, you'd have problems in this country the likes of which, perhaps, you have ever seen before," said Trump. "I don't think the people of the United States would stand for it."

When Hewitt asked Trump to elaborate, he said, "Big problems."”

Screenshots.
Lots and lots of screenshots.

The internet is forever. Find their previous comments, hold their feet to the fire.

Ask them: "[X number of] months ago, you said [insert heinous thing here]. Now, your webpage has changed, and you seem to be promoting [insert slightly less heinous thing here]. What exactly do you believe regarding this subject, and why should any voter believe you, when you've already given them two different opinions that don't match? Were you lying to the people in version one, or were you lying to the people in version two? And a follow-up question- is the next thing that comes out of your mouth another potential problem for you when fact-checkers get to work on your newest answer?"

And I don't expect the press to ask these questions in this fashion. They're too interested in playing "both sides-ism" to ever call out blatant lies and backtracks. No, those questions should come from regular folks like us at town hall meetings. Public exchanges that get captured on 20+ cell phones as it's happening. Real People grilling shifty candidates who want to play Billy Badass in the primaries, but then try to soften their 'look' to appeal to a general audience as the general election approaches. It's our responsibility as voters to expose their game to each other. Democracy ain't a spectator sport. An informed, energized electorate is the best hedge/defense against politicos who play this crap.

Call them out.
State times/places. For the record.
Keep the heat turned up all the time. On all of them.

WE are the crucible that can burn away the impurities.
Democracy only works if we're all involved.


.02/out.

The election deniers will only lose if their elections are rigged. C'mon, you should know that.

Pretending to be strong and putting on a front doesn't make you strong. Duping people with repeated lies only means you know how to con people. His fragile ego and his lack of ability to resist getting revenge against anyone that stands against him shows his weakness. His name calling like a petulant child on the playground shows his childishness. So many people are fooled into believing that libs are the snowflakes when in fact they helped elect the biggest snowflake in the country when they helped elect trump. He's been playing the victim card from day 1 and still is.

Apparently, America's icon for 233 years has an opinion about frauds infesting the White House.
Nice to know I'm not the only one.
