And attacks on Abdul El-Sayed and Jon Ossoff.

I love how these attacks don't even land because the attacks are meritless and entirely a "straw man" argument and fallacy, and resorting to character attacks because MAGA doesn't have a policy, nor able to enact on its promises. Instead, they continually engage in gaslighting, projection and choreographing that a loss will lead to the death of the US.

All of this is extortion and hand-waiving as mere distraction of their own failures. They deserve the loss that's coming. But beyond that, do expect Trump to claim mass fraud and attempts to attack his opponents (Democrats) and election workers in the individual states - as Trump and SCOTUS attempt to run roughshod around the constitution and make what's the legal process, illegal... somehow, automagically - just because he says so. He continually and intentionally conflates perpetrator with victim and victim with perpetrator.

The false-equivalency and blame-game coming from the Right, is truly staggering. Even when they have been in power for nearly two years, signed HUNDREDS of EOs, engaged in illegal wars, and played sycophant and enablers (especially eying MAGA Mike Johnson - with his questionable repeated shuttering of the House to avoid Epstein votes): let's just say, the goal has been full implementation of Project 2025 and the deconstruction/demolition of American democracy. They can argue up down and sideways - as much as they want that we live in a republic and not a democracy - but correction: we live in a democratic republic.

The bottom-line is just like JD Vance: "give us more time" and "Democrats/Biden economics are to blame - not the unchecked corruption, tariffs, illegal wars, or unilateral executive over-reach"? Give me a break... they know what they're doing. It's disastrous policy after disastrous policy. Illegal war after illegal war, illegal bill after illegal bill / EO, and yet they will not take any accountability for the fact they've destroyed our economy.

This is what unchecked / unregulated capitalism/greed looks like. Our economy was previously the envy of the world, following Trump v1.0's disastrous "let's ignore COVID", gaslight the American public, and let us not forget - Trump/Republicans J6 gambits. Ultimately, it was up to corporate America to censor Trump v1.0. Now, they want to rewrite the events of J6. I find it extremely unlikely and shocking that a 2024 win was clinched legitimately - from the abhorrent data, Elon Musk's interference and lobbying (including purchasing Twitter.com to leverage it; whereby he tripled his networth - making him briefly the first trillionaire in the world).

All of this transpired not within an echo-chamber, and same thing is true with tariffs, this illegal war, and if our economy is truly doing as well as it is (after Trump fired all job staticians - similar to how he handled COVID cases, and kicks out the media for truth telling, rather than capitulating with threats of FCC licenses being revoked): then why are there mass layoffs? Why is Trump pushing AI heavily, when people are losing their jobs, or importing beef while our farmers are suffering? The answer is simple: trickle-down economics never worked, and them passing the blame over to Democrats when they literally hold unilteral control over every arm of government (including what is supposed to be an independent USPS/DOJ/SCOTUS) - tells you absolutely everything you need to know. Moreover, Trump claimed to know nothing of Project 2025, and has kept the "election was stolen" and "our elections are rife with fraud" talking points going - even in light of overwhelming evidence on the contrary. Trump and Republicans never like discussing details, only vagueness and vulgarities and character launched at Democrats.

In my mind, while we truly need a people's party... Democrats are the lesser of the two evils. Sitting out this election, or forming a nihilistic view this election cycle, or "we the People" not using our voice or standing up for restoring truth, justice and upholding the law and constitution - could very well spell the final death knell in the coffin of western Democracy. Once more, I think it's rich that Trump never has anything bad to say about Putin, claims Ukraine started a war for defending itself, continually screws over our allies, engages in relentless and baseless lies, and now is trying to subvert the will of the people.

Make no doubt about it, they will "flood the zone with shit" (as Steve Bannon said), and literally leave no stone, unturned. I am confident there are still several "Trump cards" that haven't yet been played... including timing after they lose this election with baseless claims by our hijacked/corrupted-DOJ of the 2020 elections being stolen from Trump. Wrong. What we should all recall is J6, two blackmail phone calls, a false-slate of electors, 63/64 failed and separate lawsuits against states, a former president exfiltrating sensitive files of value to Russia and just this year and towards the end of last: attempting to force Moduro into admitting to election inteference, or blaming China... when Trump's report he released in on July 17th painted quite a different picture.

While I could go on and on, the point is the lies are not landing with voters and the American people. People recognize just how much more costly and disastrous of a position Americans and the American people are financially: all while bragging about the stock-market (and behind the scenes, bragging how the tariffs and oil are making Trump and the Epstein class - millions upon millions of dollars). Likewise, it should have been seen as extremely illegal with Trump-regime's attempts to invest in companies, pay for Trump support ads using tax payer dollars, or for him to launch his own pump+dump crypto scheme... and hollow out the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. MAGA Mike Johnson and others have said the quiet part out loud: if God forbid they lose the midterms, Trump, his family, friends and half the people in this room will be investigated; to which I add: damn straight. FAFO - they know they have engaged in criminal acts and cover-up.

My last suggestion for you, is go watch "Our Nixon" on Netflix and don't tell me that you don't see how it starkly matches our current reality with the Trump scandals, cheating, blackmail/bribery of votes, etc. Right now Trump and Republicans are floudering - especially after they hit up the beginning of this year with an illegal war and not even attempting to hide the corruption any longer. These are likewise the consequences of conservative justices literally teeing up Trump this second term, by not explicitly claiming he has immunity... but offering him enough of a grey area to operate with. As Trump stated "if I don't have absolute immunity, I can't do my job as president". Wrong. Also, their accusations against Jack Smith (independent investigator) they attempt to scapegoat as a violation of checks and balances... well, I would tell them to look in the mirror these past two years. They are reaping what they sew and I'm all for 25-50 years of Nuremberg trials to come, and for the liquidation of these corrupt entities assets - if they engaged in illegal behaviors, or were accessories and enablers to these crimes.
