Trump Tells Crowd They 'Won't Have To Vote' Again After Election

I will never understand how those idiots fell so in love with this snake oil salesman.

So, he’s flat out admitting he will destroy democracy and implement a dictatorship along the lines of his buddy Putin? Can you imagine if a democrat said something like that?

There had better be a swift backlash is all I can say.

They want to Make America Great Again by changing into something it was never meant to be just to protect their beliefs.

[quote] So, he’s flat out admitting he will destroy democracy and implement a dictatorship along the lines of his buddy Putin?

Exactly.

He is TELLING US what he is going to do.

He has BEEN TELLING US what he is going to do.

And I hope the voters are listening.

If Trump should win this election for some reason, our Democracy is over.

[quote]There had better be a swift backlash is all I can say.

There should be, but don't be surprised when it doesn't happen. Expect an "Oh, that's just Trump being Trump" or some other excuse dismissing the seriousness of his remarks. Its disgusting watching him get away with saying the most outlandish bullshit, while any other politician would be shamed or forced to resign.

SO fucking sick of "Trump will be Trump" excuses.

DONATE. VOLUNTEER. DO WHATEVER YOU CAN TO SAVE DEMOCRACY.

“You’ll never GET to vote again”

Knowing how much of a narcissist he is, what he probably means is that he doesn't give a fuck about anyone voting after he's done. He's just using them (duh).

Of course, it could also mean he's never leaving.

Either way, the man is pure evil.

Oh, he's dead serious R8.

He's saying there won't be another election after this one, if he wins.

Shit. He’s just saying it now, no codespeak. The Harris campaign needs to take this and make some hard hitting ads!

Scary.

Has Kamala released a press release yet? Those are great

I suspect he's going to become increasingly unhinged between now and November.

I wonder if he almost wants to lose. He's old and maybe deep down he's realising he doesn't actually want to be President again. Maybe he prefers the idea of bitching about how the election was "stolen" again, etc.

I don't think he ever wanted to do the work of President, r13. When he came down those escalator stairs in 2015, he had no real intention of winning. He then became addicted to the rallies, the adoration, and the constant media attention, and the rest is (unfortunate) history.

Like R14, I recall the deer-in-headlights moment of panic in Trump’s face on election night 2016 when he found out he won.

[quote]I suspect he's going to become increasingly unhinged between now and November.

Specially given his new relationship with God, to be exploited for those who will lap up their felon's re-discovered religiosity.

You know what? I'm glad he said it. There's no walking back from this. Even many right-wingers will be scared.

Remember the anti-maskers during COVID and how they hollered about their constitutional rights? Well, they won't have them anymore if they vote for Trump.

Maybe this kind of bald declaration of intended tyranny will finally wake peopke the fuck up.

[quote]Remember the anti-maskers during COVID and how they hollered about their constitutional rights? Well, they won't have them anymore if they vote for Trump.

They don't care.

Trump will enforce the rules that THEY want and keep the people that THEY don't like ground beneath their heels. As long as it's the right people who are being oppressed, they'll cheer.

So this is how liberty dies, with thunderous applause.

In 1-2-3-4-5 He will claim "I was being sarcastic" sad thing is his cult members will believe he was being sarcastic.

I have seen Trump followers begin to claim that if Kamala is elected it will be the end of Democracy in the US or even the end of our country.

THEY are unfortunately NOT smart enough to have ANY CLUE about what he is saying! And IF they did, they wouldn't understand what the impact would be towards THEM.

WE DO.

This A-HOLE cannot get anywhere near the Presidency.

He'll either say he was being sarcastic, or he'll say he meant he's gonna fix the country so well that he doesn't need Christians to vote Republican next time, because the USA will be so amazing, non-Christians will all vote the same way.

Of course there's a third option that he'll just label any media outlet that reports on it as "fake news" and his followers will say "yeah exactly! Trump didn't mean anything of the sort, but CNN and other lib media will criticise him regardless :( ".

He needs to STFU and go away.

R13 I think he ONLY wants to run this time to keep himself out of Jail.

[quote]Dictatorial systems make one contribution to their people which leads them to tend to support such systems — freedom from the necessity of informing themselves and making up their own minds concerning these tremendous complex and difficult questions.

-Eisenhower

I suspect he’s meant to promise that he’ll fix all the problems Christians care about in four years, so they can stop paying attention to politics, but it sounds like he’s saying “this will be the last election” which plays into the Democrats argument that he’s a threat to Democracy

Nothing to see here. In more important news, we visited a diner on Greenville, Ohio, and talked to a two-time Trump voter, who has deep concerns about Kamala Harris...

I say this all the time. Republicans are like Scooby Doo villains; they completely lay out and explain their evil schemes to everyone. Yet, half of the country doesn't care, isn't paying attention, or is all on board.

I think it’s the bargaining stage of grief as Trump mourns his sure victory .

Nothing he says will ever dissuade his cult members. His comments will, however, make an impression on independents and Never Trumpers.

[quote]I wonder if he almost wants to lose. He's old and maybe deep down he's realising he doesn't actually want to be President again.

I don't suppose he's bright enough to see that if he wins and they make the adjustments necessary to relieve Americans of having to vote again, he will be of no further use to The Movement (I disdain to call it a Party). It's not like the authors of Project 2025 are depending on him for strategic advice. They just need him to fool enough of the people one more time.

Losing might be better for you than winning this one time, Donald.

HORRIFYING! MAKE THIS MONSTER GO AWAY!

When Biden was the candidate, they were hoping for a low turnout in November. I'm thinking now, that Kamala seems to have energized those who felt apathetic, they are really starting to feel panicky. Not to mention all the missteps they've made in their self assured arrogance: picking the creepy Chucky doll as the VP, revealing their ties to Project 2025, etc.

I have lunatic maga family members who will gladly sign off on a 'president trump for life' scheme to be followed up with Don Jr. as his replacement. Scary times, dear ones. Take them at their word- they mean it. As for those who say it can't happen. I answer that in my experience the bad guys generally ignore the rules.

He's my kind of guy!

Trump could announce he is going to establish a 1000 year Reich, live out the entire 1000 years of that Reich, invade Poland, gas chamber all the Jews except the one related to him and start world war three, in the middle of Fifth Avenue and not lose a single vote from his MAGA base.

They'd all enthusiastically cheer him on and announce he was the true second coming R35.

They need deprogramming, nothing else would work.

But her (emails) laugh!

He has such an excremental presence to him.

[quote] I wonder if he almost wants to lose.

Given that’s he’s running to stay out of prison, I’m gonna say “no.”

Well, we could get Obama back in office I guess?

I cannot wait for this piece of shit to die. Move it along, toots!

r14 you forgot the stealing of all of the taxpayers money.

Trump is dumb on a lot of things except things like this. If questioned he will say he meant that they would never have to vote for HIM again. Or they won't have to vote again if they don't want to because he won't be running the next time. I see him do this a lot. He did another one a few weeks ago but I can't remember what it was. He always knows how to cover his ass.

"You'll never have to vote again since I'll safely abscond with your donations, so I can live out the rest of my days very comfortably. On your dime."

R14r15.

I remember that moment too.

"oh shit. They really pulled that shit off!"

"You'll never have to vote again because I am gonna be POTUS for life."

Those who say it can't happen are lying.

Why is Mike Pence not on the ticket as. VP

The quote is out of context. I looked it up because I was curious. Go to a video of the speech and click "transcript". It's like crying the doctor implied you were dying when he said you don't need to see him again. Trump is an idiot but he didn't say what you think he did. For the lazy:

[quote] ... day one I will sign 57:59 a new executive order to cut Federal funding for any school pushing critical race Theory transgender insanity and 58:06 other inappropriate racial sexual or political content onto the lives of our 58:17 children thank you it's true save our kids is Right 58:23 save our kids is right and I and you're right thank you and I will not give one 58:30 penny to any school that has a vaccine mandate or a mask mandate not a 58:37 penny and I will keep men out of women's sports if that's 58:45 okay and as I did for four years I will fully uphold our very important but 58:52 under siege Second Amendment it will be fully upheld we will protect innocent life and we 58:59 will restore free speech in our country and I will secure our elections our goal will be as I said one- day voting with 59:06 paper ballots proof of citizenship and a thing called voter 59:15 ID you know when you negotiate and I do that with a Democrat and I negotiate 59:20 with them all the time on this but I say look we got to fix our laws on voting 59:26 we have to start with voter ID everybody has said no way it this the discussion never even 59:32 goes any further I say we have to have voter ID it's called voter identification nope we're not going to 59:38 do it now there's only one reason they do that because they want to cheat there's only one reason anything else 59:45 you know in their National Convention when they had their convention they have a voter tag on them bigger than their 59:50 chest depending on who who's which chest we're talking about bigger than the like this has their name their serial number 59:58 it's got the whole deal middle name past addresses it's got everything otherwise 1:00:05 you can't get into the Democrat National Convention but with voting one of your 1:00:10 most important things you can do maybe in many ways your most important they don't want to approve voter ID that's 1:00:16 because they want to cheat but until then Republicans must win we have to win 1:00:21 this election most important election ever we want a landslide that's too big to R if you want to save America get 1:00:29 your friends get your family get everyone you know and vote vote early vote absentee vote on Election Day I 1:00:36 don't care how but you have to get out and vote and again Christians get out 1:00:41 and vote just this time you won't have to do it anymore 1:00:49 four more years you know what it'll be fixed it'll be fine you won't have to

[Quote] If questioned he will say he meant that they would never have to vote for HIM again.

Sort of.

What he means is, this is my last time running so this is the last time you have to go to the polls. Remember he’s a narcissist. He sees everything solely in terms of what benefits him. And he sees everyone else the same way — everyone else exists to serve him. So, if he’s not running again, there’s no need to bother voting because Trump isn’t on the ballot.

I think this is what he meant, rather than “you won’t need to vote again because there will be a dictatorship,” although I see we are using it against him and hey if it works, it works.

D.J. Trump is the greatest performance artist of your time.

like r21 said

My MAGA Dad posted that the Dems are just too stupid to realize he is being sarcastic

R52 this is also true.

R52 and they said there would never be another Dorothy Parker.

I know I'm not alone here but I just can not understand why my parents are so PRO TRUMP... I am gay and they are completely supportive of me and love my husband. One of my sisters had to have a technical abortion when my niece passed away in utero(thankfully she wasn't in a red state) and then used to IVF to have my nephew. All they watch is FOx news, they knew NOTHING about the grab them by the pussy or Trump making fun of handicapped. They were not aware that Fox was used over their part of the lie that the election was stolen. They knew nothing about Trump's call to Georgia looking for votes etc because Fox did not report it!!!

The problem with the left-wingers is they mistake provincialism for stupidity.

This thread makes me feel like I have five eyes.

I think he's trying to lose. He doesn't want to be POTUS, esp. now that his convictions seem to be fading away.

R52 You should cut them off. Maybe the Trump Cult will be their new family after you leave.

r58

I keep saying that he is doing all this outrageous shit just to get people to turn on him and to see how far he can go and these shitheads just eat it up

I really hope that when he loses again, he passes out the cyanide laced Kool-Aid. MAGAts are a drain on humanity.

[quote]It’s unclear what the former president is referring to with his remarks.

There is NOTHING unclear about what the twice impeached convicted felon, rapist con artist meant by that statement. Just as there was nothing ambiguous about his previous statement about being a "dictator on day one"

Huffpost failed covering this. DO NOT this monster the benefit of the doubt with disclaimers like "unclear what the former president meant" It couldn't be clearer, and pretending it is n't enabling this beclowned cunt.

This should be the lead story on every outlet. Keep in mind this is just the sort of thing undecided and independent voters respond very negatively toward. The Christo fascists love it but there are not enough of them to elect Dumps girdled overly madeup disgrace in high heels elected.

Thanks for the campaign ad!

[quote] The quote is out of context. I looked it up because I was curious. Go to a video of the speech and click "transcript". It's like crying the doctor implied you were dying when he said you don't need to see him again. Trump is an idiot but he didn't say what you think he did. For the lazy:

R49 your transcript show exactly what Trump said and exactly what I thought he said. "vote early vote absentee vote on Election Day I 1:00:36 don't care how but you have to get out and vote and again Christians get out 1:00:41 and vote just this time you won't have to do it anymore 1:00:49 four more years you know what it'll be fixed it'll be fine you won't have to"

IF any Democrat had said this or said they wanted to be a dictator for even one day, the right would be going nuts, half the people in here are making excuses for Trump, no wonder his MAGA followers are doing the same.

I suppose you think his "I could shoot someone in the middle of 5th Avenue and not lose a single vote" was taken out of context, Or his I trust Putin more than I trust our intelligence agencies, or I will make Mexico pay for a big beautiful wall was taken out of context, GTFOFH

Yeah and now J.D. Vance also says his cat lady comments were sarcastic.

We do not need this. You’re on a Presidential campaign trail. Not open mic night at the Comedy Store.

t's not just him. He is not smart enough to lead anything. It is the machine behind him. They are trying to roll in a Trump dynasty from the sound of it. First him and then his coked out son. That speech cannot go unchecked.

R56 how is a fact a problem dolt?

Your only posts, r49/ r52?

Either interpretation works. If he’s saying that they’ll never have to vote again because he is going to make the country a fundamentalist Christian’s paradise, fulfilling their every desire so that it doesn’t matter who rules in 2028 because the country will be a Christian theocracy it’s still a gift. Most people do not want to live under the rule of those nut jobs.

There’s also controversy about whether he said he’s not a Christian or he is one. First tweet I see is some MAGA woman in Florida who said she’s had her sons listen, her husband listen, then they all listened as a family and definitely said he IS a Christian. Gee is the old, slurring mess can only be understood after conferring……

R58, he’s not trying to lose. He wants to win and needs to, unless he wants to die in prison. He’d rather die in the White House.

This is all scaremongering. It's stupid. You can't take over a country in 4 years and he will never be able to do anything against the constitution. If he tries he will be arrested and court-martialed. The military is sworn to defend the nation from enemies foreign and domestic. If someone tries to overthrow the government it is treason. They might make laws you don't like but he can't turn us into a dictatorship. The military generals hate him. He says this to rile everyone up and you always fall for it.

Sometimes I honestly think Trump couldn't do anything to put most of his fans off. They see him as a saviour and messiah who's constantly being attacked by "the establishment".

So he could do almost anything at this point and they'd twist it into "he's being attacked because he's threatening them!"

I don't say so much about rednecks with nothing between their ears because they lack the intelligence to see it, but when you've got Republicans who are intelligent (yes they do exist) pretending to think Trump is amazing it's wild.

[Quote] My MAGA Dad posted that the Dems are just too stupid to realize he is being sarcastic

He doesn’t understand Trump at all. He’s not being sarcastic.

Your dad isn’t a pathological narcissist, so he doesn’t understand that, when Trump says these things, he’s not being sarcastic. He means them, from his “through the looking glass” perception of reality.

Bless your heart, r71.

He is not going to prison R70. That has already been a dead issue. They say it would be too much trouble, his crimes were white-collar not treason.

His crimes are treason R75

R71 would be a perfect target for a Nigerian prince or a catfishing scam.

R55 Gerontologists tell us that as our brains age the frontal lobes which contain our judgement and reasoning abilities are the first areas to deteriorate. Even if dementia or Alzheimer's is not diagnosed. That is what makes elderly so susceptible to scams. Your parents diminished mentality can no longer discern the difference between truth and lies. And doesn't FOX know it.

[quote]I know I'm not alone here but I just can not understand why my parents are so PRO TRUMP

My mom is living off of social security and is PRO TRUMP and my Dad is rich as hell and is a Democrat. My mom worked for Jesse Jackson's Rainbow Coalition back in the day but has become a fundamentalist Christian. Those types are always the victims of society even though they are the ones railroading their beliefs over everyone. Anyone who preaches that they are the underdogs, they cling to. I find it amazing that such a huge generation of hippy, free-love and peace generation turned out so conservative.

It really comes down to too many brown people and not enough white people in the country. Even the brown people for Trump want to be the only ones in the room and are still seeking approval from white people that they are "One of the Good Ones." But our parents generation, at least mine from the 60s, as much as they preached all that stuff back then, are really afraid of the Browning of America. To be honest, so are a portion of gay people here on Datalounge, just saying.

R42, NO, he needs to go to prison before he is allowed to die.

Every time Trump says something like this there is always a big headline on some left-wing rag like HuffPost about it like right now. He gets lots of publicity and pisses off the Democrats and his base love that and he knows it. Narcissists notoriously play head games. Meanwhile, he has DL especially bouncing off the walls because you guys always follow for it.

^^fall for it

And the media is dead silent about this and the danger he poses.

They made fun of Joe for pointing out - REPEATEDLY- what a danger these pricks are to democracy. The media is absolutely complicit and actively undermining our democracy.

Dump every last subscription to NYT, WaPo, cut off CNN and MSNBC and block Fux on the old people’s TVs.

The only way these fuckers pay attention is when they start losing $. Sure, they’ll double down on their stupidity, but who cares? They’ll go broke for dump and good riddance to them.

R81 you're way too involved in explaining this away. It is prima facie treason for which he should be jailed and executed after due process of law.

Trump means you don't have to vote ever again. He doesn't mean vote for him.

Trump himself isn't the threat at this point. The real threat is Project 2025 which Trump's election would eneable, and I hope between now and November the Democrats (and the media) lay out in full detail what's in it.

^^^ enable

R83, how many times does NYT have to tell you that they are NOT in business of defending democracy?? Stop bothering them, they have more important things to do, like tell you what sunscreen is best for travel!

His crowd are probably all old or obese so he meant they won’t be around next election

Dump may not want to win, but the Heritage Foundation sure as hell does, and they’ve got people all over trying to make that happen.

Trump's only and ever goal is to dominate the news cycle. Politics and the presidency is incidental. The only office he craves is King of All Media. I get ratings therefore I am.

[quote] And the media is dead silent about this and the danger he poses.

Agreed 100%.

The media is complicit in his treason and his future wannabe dictatorship.

I have lost all faith and trust in the American Media.

They worked tirelessly to bully Joe Biden out of the Presidency.

But when Trump does and says 100x worse? *crickets*

Project 2025 is a right-wing wish list that has been around since the 50s. It is what they say they want to do but they can't do. They are fringe and have only gotten tax cuts—some judges. They will never get enough people to back them. They are Christian nationalists in a nation that is getting away from fire and brimstone religion. There are fewer Christians than ever now. This is basically the old John Birch Society.

"The media is complicit in his treason and his future wannabe dictatorship."

Trump=Ratings=$

He hasn't committed treason as yet.

[quote]He hasn't committed treason as yet.

Yes, r96, he has.

That’s EXACTLY why the NYT needs to be driven out of business, r88.

They don’t think democracy is non-partisan? Then every last American needs to drop their subscriptions until they either go out of business or wake the fuck up to reality.

R94 Yes, the John Birch Society, sponsored and spearheaded by Fred Koch, was rejected by the Republican party in the mid 1960s because they were concerned their extremism would not only destroy their party, but would lead to failure of our democracy. In the 200os the Tea Party, the modern day version of the John Birch Society, sponsored this time by Fred's sons, Charles and David Koch, were embraced by the Republicans, which is why the Republican Party has gone nuclear with overt racist policies instead of their prior more subdued policies. However, you're wrong about never getting enough people to back them. That is no longer their plan. They are rigging the system with extreme gerrymandering, having right-wing judges in key places throughout the country, not just the SCOTUS. It's going to be minority rule and legally there will be no way to fight it.

LoL, r96, you aren't fooling anybody.

R96 = Rudy Giuliani. Or Sidney Powell.

There are too many layers of government and things move very slowly in this country. By the time they stop arguing about anything years go by. Stop falling for scaremongering. This is all coming from the far left. One of the smarter people on one of these threads said it would be like herding cats. He is right.

[quote] This is all coming from the far left

You lost me right there, Boris.

IGNORE!

r102 has said on other threads that he thinks Trump will win. In "Assuming Trump loses in November," he wrote:

[quote]I think he will win in 2024. So that won't be a problem. He will pardon himself and by 2028 he will probably be close to death.

[quote]No, the problem is she is still going to be Biden 2.0 and people are sick of the inflation, identity politics, and the border problems. The swing states won't vote for her. She is not doing well in those states.

Now it's not "Project 2025 isn't scary" but rather "Don't worry, don't fear monger, Project 2025 will never happen!"

Punched and deleted.

I do think Trump will win. I didn't say I wanted him to win. I'm being realistic and watching what regular people are saying. The vast majority of normal people are not captured by conspiracy theories from both maga and bluemaga.

Have to admit, I've always been a bit sceptical of DL posters accusing standard trolls of being "Russian Bots, but posts like the one from r102, have forced me to reconsider the possibility.

This post and several others have a definite "Svetlana" flavor to them. Perhaps log cabinettes who visit right wing websites are simply parroting russian/chinese talking points that have been inserted into those conversations, but it's unsettling all the same.

People didn't like her in 2020 and they haven't changed their minds. She is one of the least popular politicians. People are feeling like she was shoved down our throats. She hasn't done a thing and yet all the posters are falling all over her and a week ago they were screaming that Biden can't leave. Trump controls you. He is living rent-free in your head and he loves it. He is an extreme attention whore. Thats all he is.

Yeah, I'm a Russian bot. You people are nuts. I am an old lady living in NorCal trying not to breathe smoke from the fire that is out of control and very close to me.

American media are controlled by fascist billionaires. When Katharine Graham died her Nazi children took over, and now we see the same with the Netanyahu-directed NYT

[quote]The media is complicit in his treason and his future wannabe dictatorship.

They media loves chaos and Trump provides that like no one else. And its short-sighted. We all know if he wins the election, the moment the media says something he perceives as negative or 'fake news,' both he and his MAGA cult will go after the journalist and the outlet they work for. At that point, I don't want to hear a damn thing from them about "Trump's assault on press freedom" or expect us to be sympathetic when so many of them enabled and normalized his outrageous behavior.

When that happens, I don't want to hear a damn thing from them about

If he wins, though, I don't want to hear a damn thing about

Sure you are. Is your name Jan, by any chance?

^^^Ignore the last two rows of text.

How we do meet the 'he's just kidding' defense.

The media needs to stop printing every stupid thing he says. Every time he says something outrageous every news outlet prints it in big headlines. The right just laughs at everyone for then tearing out their hair. Every time the Democrats react to it the right thinks it owns the Libs. the country won't be overthrown by Project 2025 it will slowly go downhill because the people themselves are so childish. The government can't get anything done because we are so divided and for some dumb reason, the two extreme sides hate each other even though they are exactly alike.

How disingenuous. They are not exactly alike.

I have no doubt if he's elected again, on day one he'll declare himself president for life. I also have no doubt Biden suddenly dropping out and having to face Kamala is making him shit his diaper far more than usual, which means his already fragile grip on reality will crumble even more in the days leading to November.

R68 One of the posts (the first) is me, the other isn‘t. And no, not by far.

[quote] The media needs to stop printing every stupid thing he says

I disagree. We need to know.

My error, r125. I meant r49 and r53.

Link from The Guardian, because my tablet hates HuffPost:

Is it just me, or has anybody noticed Trump's physical and mental decline seems to be accelerating. He has long run out of fresh material, and he's gonna have to double down even harder on all the lies he's been telling all these years.

I'm starting to think, like Biden, he's not gonna make it to November.

I don't imagine him bowing out gracefully like Biden did. I think he's just gonna flat-out self destruct.

If so, would the Republicans be forced to put Vance at the top of the ticket?

You'd think he'd stop with the Hannible Lecter shit by now

He’s too stubborn.

This needs to be blasted all over. This is scary. No one took this freak seriously and 2016 and look at all the damage he did - now he's hellbent on revenge.

horrible

I seriously don't think I've ever wanted someone to drop dead of a heart attack more than this man.

"When someone tells you who they are, believe them."

Trump has told us over and over again who he is, and was doing so continually in the lead-up to the 2016 election. And yet the slobbering anthropoids who inexplicably worship this ghoul just keep cheering him on. It's truly bizarre.

I read the full transcript (he is so incoherent) but I gather that he intended to say 'I will turn the country into an evangelical (and the lunatic far right Catholics who reject the current pope) nation with no separation of church and State. When I am done, this country will be 'fixed' and so Christian that crazy Nancy could be elected but she won't be able to roll back what I will do'. More BS from him but actually just as scary as 'I will become dictator'

Oh for fuck sake this country isn't going to turn Christian. What a stupid thing to say.

r137 Yes, he says many stupid things that his worshippers fall for

Have you been paying attention at all, R137? It's already happening.

What is Christian about having three baby mamas and affairs with hookers

I'd say this latest thing is going underreported.

[quote]Trump Tells Crowd They 'Won't Have To Vote' Again After Election

Just how lazy do you have to be to think that voting is a chore?

To their credit, The Atlantic has that as the most recent story. Usually, they stop publishing new articles on Saturdays fairly early, but this was prioritized.

His base isn't the size it once was, a lot of people saw the mistake they made from voting for him. He'll have the die hard mentally deficients on his side no matter what but he lost the last election and he won't win the next one.

Don't forget sexually assaulting women, too, R140. But these so-called 'Christians' hate liberals more than they care about morality, so they'll throw themselves behind anyone who uses the right buzzwords rather than back a person with a degree of decency or character. "Gotta own the libs" is all that matters to them.

[quote]His base isn't the size it once was

Most of them seem pretty huge to me.

I have been paying attention. All the people that vote for him know he is a bullshit artist and they don't care and don't take him as seriously as Democrats.

Now that the Secret Service is forcing him to have indoor rallies, fewer of them will be dying from heat exhaustion or cold exposure. Shame that.

r148 Yep, bummer

Also r137:

[quote]They are not going to get any of it done because they don't have the power to do it Some far left-wing women during Trump's last presidency wrote a book stating he was going to do this. It is far left-wing propaganda

I thought their plan was a long-shot fever dream plan at best, but when SCOTUS determined the president has basically total immunity, I give the likelihood that Trump will eliminate the constitution a lot more weight.

R107 "She hasn't done a thing

She is not He.

If idiots are really NOT paying attention to his words, then we deserve him as President.

A friend of mine who is Independent, was supporting Biden. When he dropped out, she was rightfully upset. Since Harris has been bounced around as the probable candidate, she tells me she doesn't know who she will vote for because 'I don't like Harris'. Not her policies, mind you - but her personality.

I've told her 100 times - you don't have to like her - you have to vote for her and what she stands for (same policies as Biden stood for). I reminded her since she doesn't "like her" personally, she doesn't have to invite her out to lunch or have her over for dinner. They don't have to be friends. JUST VOTE FOR HER.

Also r107:

*Assuming Trump loses in November*

[quote]R77 which is a good reason to vote against her. Toddlers do not explore their gender. Don't you realize this is gay conversion therapy? It is also mutilating kids.

[quote]You are obviously not a parent. You can't just let kids do what they want. Kids need boundaries and rules.

Good ol' r107... always thinking about the children.

I wanted Bernie in 2016 and 2020 buy I voted for Hillary and Biden respectively. I'm not happy that Biden was pressured to step down, and I was pissed off to hear the Dems and their big money donors wanted a whole new ticket. But if VP Kamala Harris is in fact the nominee I will vote for her. If they force a substitution , then I will be sitting out this election.

[quote]If they force a substitution , then I will be sitting out this election.

1. They won't

2. Then you'll be giving a vote to Trump. Thanks.

I dislike Hillary. I have unresolved mommy issues. Mom is always right. And Hillary Clinton is infuriatingly, ALWAYS RIGHT ABOUT EVERYFUCKINGGOTDAMNTHING!!!!1

[quote]I'm not happy that Biden was pressured to step down, and I was pissed off to hear the Dems and their big money donors wanted a whole new ticket.

r155 - Are you going to argue that the numbers were there for Joe and that he had the mental acuity and stamina to both campaign and run the country?

Stam-in-nuh is a magat code word for a three-incher.

If course"Joe" aka POTUS had the numbers,bitch.

Big numbers, bitch.

You do you, r159, but I trust Nancy to know where the numbers are...and where they aren't.

Trump may be right. Most of his voting base will die before 2028.

I was waiting for this to be picked up by a mainstream new source before I even engaged with it, but now that Reuters is reporting on this story, I can finally say it. I think he’s fucked.

[quote] People are feeling like she was shoved down our throats.

Name three such people who have said this publicly.

I'm sure all three of his sock puppets say so.

It was also on NPR this morning

Locker room talk...

[quote] Harris camp responds to Trump telling Christians they 'don't have to vote again' if he gets elected

As former President Donald Trump wrapped his nearly 75-minute speech on Friday night, he delivered a final pitch to the Christian conservative crowd, saying if they vote for him on Election Day, they would never be obligated to vote again.

"I don't care how, but you have to get out and vote," Trump said at Turning Point Action's Believers Summit in West Palm Beach. "Christians, get out and vote just this time."

"You won't have to do it anymore. Four more years. You know what? It'll be fixed," Trump said.

He added: "I love you, Christians. I'm a Christian. I love you, get out, you gotta get out and vote. In four years, you don't have to vote again, we'll have it fixed so good you're not going to have to vote."

The Harris campaign is characterizing Trump's comment that if Christians vote this one time they won't have to do it anymore as a "vow to end democracy."

"When Vice President Harris says this election is about freedom she means it. Our democracy is under assault by criminal Donald Trump," Harris for President Spokesperson James Singer said. "Donald Trump wants to take America backward, to a politics of hate, chaos, and fear – this November America will unite around Vice President Kamala Harris to stop him."

The gathering centered around divine intervention – where Trump reiterated that the power of prayer and the grace of Almighty God saved his life two weeks ago when a bullet struck him in an attempted assassination.

"We want to thank each and every one of the believers in this room for your prayers and your incredible support. I really did appreciate it. Something was working, that we know, something was working," Trump opened his remarks. "I stand before you tonight, thanks to the power of prayer and the grace of Almighty God."

Trump also suggested that Christians don't vote "proportionately," which Trump often bickers about on the campaign trail.

"I don't want to scold you, but do you know that Christians do not vote proportionately?" Trump asked the crowd.

Trump's comments made the rounds on social media as users suggested that his comments sounded similar to when he commented that he'd be a dictator, but just on "day one" and suggested that Trump was alluding to never leaving the White House.

JBS was a creation of NATO. The idea was to create a resistance after a Soviet occupation. All countries in NATO had these "Fifth Columns." Italy's was the masonic lodge P2. The US's was the John Birch Society.

He is starting to implode. 👏. Kamala 24.

R71 Thank you. I appreciate your pov.

America is in a ‘five alarm fire’ after Trump comments about ‘last election’

R71 Trump CAN now go against the Constitution. Thanks to his 3 Supreme Court picks. It's now okay for POTUS to break the law because he is now above it.

"We'll have it fixed so good..."

WTF?

He is not above the constitution. His immunity is limited it even says so in the SC case.

Nobody buys that. Fuck right off.

The problem isn't that Trump is going to LOSE votes over this. He could defecate on the Constitution, urinate on the Bible, and flagellate a newborn baby on Fifth Avenue and not lose any supporters.

The problem is that he is not going to gain any NEW voters, and he needs to find votes to win. And that's why Kamala is going to beat him in November. She has the momentum, the excitement. She is still enough of an unknown candidate that people will change their votes in her favor. She has the power right now to transform indifference into passion and action, as we've seen with her fundraising and ability to recruit volunteers to her campaign.

[quote] I was waiting for this to be picked up by a mainstream new source before I even engaged with it, but now that Reuters is reporting on this story, I can finally say it. I think he’s fucked.

Glad to say this made headline news in the UK. I was concerned the media would let it pass as just Trump being Trump. Of course, it’ll probably be forgotten next week when everyone’s focusing on the next asinine thing he says. But I’m glad the Orange Führer didn’t get away with this absolutely horrifying admission.

That's good to know, R177.

This story should be front page news in this country, but of course it's not.

Because the media here doesn't do its job.

And yet, R178, if a Democrat had said it . . .

[quote] And yet, R178, if a Democrat had said it . . .

Exactly.

The media demonized Joe Biden for having difficulty forming his thoughts, but when this motherfucking asshole Trump forms his thoughts and shits out these poison words, the media is completely silent. "Nothing to see here!"

Fucking cowardly cunts.

It's true that the Clintons, Clooney, that NYT editorial, all from their lofty heights, have registered the grave danger Trump so arrogantly poses to democracy.

But there obviously needs to be more, so much more, to shame the shamelessness spewed by Trump - so that voters oblivious to serious danger know what's at stake.

Kamala hit the right note in listing just some of Trump's history of grotesquerie, taking the fight to him. But there needs to be relentlessly more from intelligent patriots, to ridicule Trump's tinpot fantasies and the threat they pose to America.

He's so crass and huge a target, he's just waiting to be sliced up. The US has the talent in abundance so to do it, and it needs to happen powerfully and often.

[quote]We'll have it fixed so good...

I assume Trump meant (and most assuredly will spin) that this means that he will have made America great again, therefore no need to bother voting in the future. Because everything will be fixed after the devasting years of Biden tyranny.

And the thousand-year reich will have begun.

[quote]We'll have it fixed so good...

With his third-grade-level vocabulary, who the hell knows what Trump means when he talks about anything?

Fred Astaire as the mystery guest in 1955. When a panelist asks whether he's a singer, he says he is not. Obviously he's primarily remembered as a dancer, but to say that he's not a singer is pretty odd, considering all the times he sang in movies and introduced classic songs. Miss Dorothy registers an objection after his identity is guessed.

^^^ Wrong thread, obviously. ^^^

[quote]We'll have it fixed so good...

Trump is obviously a lifelong dunce, but he also flatters himself he can talk hillbilly. And if his misguided crowds like being so patronised, that is their perfect self-defeating right.

R168 = Donald J Trump

I think it's clear he was trying to say something like - I'll make America so great, that even Democrats couldn't ruin it after that. But I'm glad it's not being interpreted that way.

disagree with r188. I believe these statements are crafted, not spontaneous, and they are designed to give cover for the "he didn't really mean it " narrative that surrogates will promote to dampen criticism.

This statement is very similar to the "Stand back and stand by" Dump screeched to the fucking Proud Boys during a 2020 debate. The intended audience (fascists and fascist leaning people) is successfully reached, while there is room given (by design) to question if that's what the fuckhead really meant.

Bullshit. This kind of messaging is the ONLY thing Dump does well . He's such a bafoon that it's easy to accept his "misspoke" or doesn't really understand what he's saying.

The truth is; These kinds of fascist leaning statements are the ONLY things he expresses clearly and the ONLY thing he really understands or WANTS.

Don't be fooled. Again.

von Papen and Hindenburg said that about Hitler and where did that get us?

I know the type. He says these things because the media and the Democrats meltdown every time he says something outrageous. The more people react to it the more he does it. I wonder what would happen if everyone ignored him and didn't react to his shit it would mean he wasn't getting attention and attention is the only thing he cares about besides money The Psychopath in him is the con trying to con everyone out of money and the Narrissistist in him is the attention-getting clown. I would put his IQ at around 79. He is stupid but he has great instincts when it comes to showmanship. Barnum and Bailey. He would have done well in the circus.

R191 don't pooh pooh the threat. He's willing to watch the world burn.

The defense in this case would be that nobody HAS to vote ever, it's not like Australia where voting is mandatory. But he has no reason to fear the military or the politicans. The only people who should scare him are the people.

If Kamala wins, what dirty tricks will the Republicans pull?

To keep her from taking office?

Let MAGA try and storm the Capital again in January, 2025 when the Orange Anus loses again. It won't go well for them.

If Trump loses the election, he will of course declare it was rigged and refused to concede, and launch multiple legal challenges in all the swing states again.

WTF happened to Sununu?

He decided to drop on his knees and suck Trump's dick. Like most of that sad excuse for a party.

He's been saying that for 8 years. Listen.

If Trump can somehow have the power to make himself dictator against all laws of the US, how come Biden was powerless to cancel student loan debt or keep his campaign promise to raise the minimum wage?

Trump has 6 Supreme Court justices in his corner R200. They've already said he can do whatever he wants and it's not illegal. And yes, I know that each crime will need to be adjudicated by lower courts delaying it all, but what will they say if he gets back in? I don't trust them one iota, do you???

Or keep abortion legal or lately he has been saying he will put a cap on rents. if he can legally do that why hasn't he.

Biden's former Communications Director :

[quote]Kate Bedingfield wrote on social media that Trump wasn’t implying that there wouldn’t be an election in 2028 if he won, as some on the left have said. “I realize this will earn me the ire of many Dems, but … I don’t think that here he’s saying there will be no more elections. I think he is saying I won’t be on the ticket either way, so who cares,” she said.

She should be careful, if she continues bending herself into a pretzel so much she may get seriously injured.

Imma suggest that she not take anything he says as a joke. It should be taken as a threat.

I watched Rachel Maddow and am alarmed. If Harris wins, the election might not be certified.

She thinks, well that's reassuring.

And 'I won’t be on the ticket either way, so who cares' says it all. He doesn't give a shit about any of them. Incels, fundies, billionaires, crypto bros, nationalists, bitter white trash. Not a shit. Even his team is saying the quiet part out loud and clear. A man who doesn't care about anything except power is dangerous.

He doubled down.

[quote] He doubled down.

Of course he did.

Hopefully now that dumb bitch at R203 will shut the fuck up.

Of course Fox did not press him on what 'fixed' means because after his fumbling BS answer moderates will be enraged at government interference in their schools, bedrooms and hospitals while fundies will be enraged that he's not going nearly far enough.

Trump does not have a sense of humor or makes jokes. When he says something, that is his true intention. How many zillions of times did Michael Cohen tell people this????

My God, there's just no hiding Trump's Neck Pussy in the original post.

Ever thought you would live in a time when a lying Neck Pussy and his eyeliner-wearing, Couch Fucker would be serious contenders for leadership in America?

Except trump speaks in doublespeak. So he means it both ways with one way being an excuse that he didn't mean it the other way.

Why Is Trump So Obsessed With Hannibal Lecter?: A Complete Timeline

This concerns me, but I do think that Mr. Trump has learned his lesson.

Glad he’s doubling down on it. It’ll just turn more people off him.

Bring us a president like Bartlet to deal with the fake Christians.
