  1. Gov. Tim Walz fears that one of Trump’s next moves will be to deter opposition by arresting a political opponent. During a recent interview, he also speculated that the president could adopt another move from the authoritarian playbook and try to anoint one of his three sons as his White House successor.

  3. he can probably get away with 1-2. when it goes beyond that however, the “charges” will probably begin to fall flat. when it continues, thats when you get revolution.

  5. Well, why wouldn’t he? The courts have signaled he has unlimited power as president, the administration has already defied judicial orders, and the legislative branch hasn’t fought back.

    There is no reason he would feel he shouldn’t

  6. *WHY* *ARE* *SANDERS*, *AOC* and *WALZ* * THE* *ONLY* *ONES* *DOING* *ANYTHING* *ABOUT* *THIS*?

    Jesus…

    Edit:

    What the fuck are your unions doing? Why aren’t the union leaders on national TV? If everything else fails, the only democracy left is labour and they will be next. Are they eunuchs too?

  7. Trump running for a 3rd term is a pipe dream because he might not make it through this term. He’s freaking almost 80 already. The “anointing” Don Jr has already been alluded too. The only good thing is both his sons are fairly greedy people and will likely fight each other. They are also pretty unlikeable in their own right. The most capable one is probably Ivanka, but he’s gone full anti woman and seems willing to sabotage her as a result.

  8. “Bernie Sanders has been taken into custody for his own protection”

  9. He will and more people need to start talking about this fact.

  11. These recent comments from Walz, makes me feel like he’s rearing up to run for president next election

  12. “Schumer had no comment at his latest book tour stop”

  13. I can almost guarantee you they will arrest “The Squad” for terrorism by this fall, especially since AOC is looking like the frontrunner for liberal/progressive party leadership (I won’t say Democrats because I’m not convinced this wing remains with the party).

    Omar and Tlaib will be the first, for support of Palestine, then AOC, Pressley, Casar, and Crockett by association.

    I also believe the right will have learned from the “bad example” of keeping political prisoners like Mandela alive, only to have them emerge as figureheads that lead to the party’s downfall, and will play Moscow Rules, a la Navalny, and just get rid of them, believing the lionization as martyrs will be temporary.

    The USA is in for decades of anguish, and if the rest of the world doesn’t cut them off entirely, so are supposed allies.

  14. No politician is coming to save us. The judges aren’t gonna save us. Only when everyone gets up off their asses and into the streets will things start getting done

  15. My MI Representative, Jack Bergman a retired Marine General with a Silver Star , backs every Trump crazy replicating Nazi Generals all in on Adolph . Bergman already broke pledge to uphold the Constitution voting not to accept 2020 results while accepting his own re-election . Traitor to the core please contact him. Thanks

  16. He’s right. And then targeting “leftists” is next, regular citizens who protest or disagree. He is currently focusing on regular people who are to some degree perceived as “foreigners,” but he will eventually get to locking up americans who dissent.

  19. Remember when doge which is a bunch of civilians broke into the US treasury, the Social security offices, and then the police HELPED them?

    Cops are the boot.

  20. If only we’d had prior exposure to this Trump fellow, we could have seen this coming.

  21. he fucking SAID IT on the campaign trail and people CHEERED him. those of us who called him out were called radicals. he is a clear and present danger to the continued integrity of the USA and needs to be treated that way, ASAP by every true patriot in America

  22. Obviously. Trump didn’t just magically become obsessed with autopen, he’s trying to invalidate Biden’s pardons for the exact reason the pardons were necessary in the first place. Anybody still butthurt with Biden for issuing those last minute pardons owes the big man a big apology

  23. No one was hired into this administration unless they were as fascist and lawless as Trump himself.

    Remember in his first term, people would talk about how “the adults in the room” would stop him.

    There are no more adults in any rooms.

  24. And the executions will follow, donald had already been claiming the Jack Smith executed people, a claim donald made repeatedly during his rallies.
    It was to get his followers used to the idea the opposition was already executing people, so it would be normal for him to do the same…

  25. Every single piece of media from the right has been designed for decades to get us to this point. We are now at the point where Biden and everyone else will get thrown in jail and nobody will move or do a thing because half will think it’s the right thing to do and the other half will be scared they will be next. Thanks a fucking lot you pricks, I actually liked this country.

  26. That is ridiculous! Maybe Tim Waltz needs to spend some time in jail to think about how ridiculous that is. – MAGA, probably.

  27. Didn’t he outwardly saw that he would do that before the election?

    That he would have anyone who opposed him arrested and silenced? That he would shut down media that spoke poorly of him, arrest political advisories and fire and arrest any one who was involved in investigating him?

    None of this is a surprise and this is what people voted for

  28. You mean like he has been? The fuck you think those Palestinian protestors are being black bagged for?

  29. He already has, they went through a French citizens phone and found anti trump texts relating to climate change denial. They called it “terrorist threats”

  30. I’m pretty sure we will see martial law and our own tienenmen square soon enough after that.

  31. Or sent to El Salvador, with no records of them being detained or transported.
