This is what we're in for.

“Don’t rush me. So were in Vietnam for 18 years. Iraq, many, many years… I’ve been doing this for… six weeks.”

— President Trump, talking to reporters about the war in Iran.

Reason to declare martial law here in November to try and stop the elections, when ICE surrounds key voting places and voting machines and ballots are seized at dozens of flipped districts, the American people will have the choice of accepting it or fighting.

Unfortunately I have to make another prediction which as some here know are almost always accurate because I just assume they will do the worst possible thing and they always do, and they are going to do all of this and more yes.

Prison…Jimmy Kimmel will be next, somehow they’ll do it in California or file it somewhere else somehow.

Jimmy Kimmel and other media people cannot criticize him anymore and they know it without risking their freedom.

ICE Will surround minority POLLING stations and ballots and voting machines will be seized the night of the election, unconstitutional save act will be passed and millions and millions will not vote because of it.

I haven’t posted here since I got in trouble for suggesting 2024 was hacked by MUSK.🤬

SIGH

8. Yes...as bad as things are, my feeling is that this administration and supporters haven't even begun to hit

their home stretch stride in corrupting/diminishing norms, laws, common sense, justice, fairness. What they've done so far tells me we aren't going to have free and fair 2026 elections and that they have much bigger plans yet to come. It think it's fair, at this point, to assume the worst...and it's likely to be more realistic than giving them the benefit of the doubt.

Court losses, bad polls, poor policy outcomes merely mean they go to the more treacherous and outrageous plan b's in their pile of tactics and strategies to overturn whatever is in their way. The trajectory is not good.

It may very well be that, in Trump's mind, he's not ever leaving the WH. In the minds of his handlers, he's leaving but there's likely a second fascist authoritarian lined up. The global powers won't be giving up their decades long expensive plan to concentrate wealth and power.

9. Jimmy Kimmel is next, they're threatening ABC now the license

It’s a sure thing he’s done for. First Colbert now Kimmel. America is over.

I think of the disgusting people who complained about Kamala and her position on Gaza. When I think of the people in 2016 who said they had to hold their nose to vote for Hillary making sure everyone around them heard them so they wouldn’t vote at all.

Oh, and I almost forgot, contrary to the people HERE who told me I was out of my mind, yes they will be taking Social Security and Medicare next they will simply tell us there is no more money and there’s not a goddamn thing we can do about it.

YES THE 2024 ELECTION WAS HACKED musk admitted it.
