Soooooo
The right-wing reporters realize he means them too, right?
Eventually, you slip up and lose favor with the GröpenFührer then, out the window you go.
They realize that. Right?
Of course they don’t. He hates the people they hate. And when he hates them, they’ll hate themselves, too.
They’ll never lose favor, only the other will.
Something something… leopards… faces…
Forget about the nominally right wing media, look at how the NY Times have covered every threat to democracy, ever. From Hitler to the business plot to Trump.
This is the mistake people always make with an autocrat. They the think they’ll be allowed to keep or amass the power the have, but only one person is allowed power in an autocratic regime.
This dude is only becoming more of a nightmare the closer we get to election day
just wait until you see what he’s like after election day!
True. Doesn’t matter if he wins or loses. He’ll claim he won no matter the results and he’ll be equally crazy.
and he’ll be equally crazy.
Equally? That seems optimistic. He’ll go even farther off the deep end. Even if he wins, he’ll contest it, because he clearly should have won by a larger margin.

They were. They made a ‘no shit they shall not pass’ line and as soon as the first MAGA fucked around, they found out.
Source? I want to read that story and have a laugh.
Edit: I couldn’t find a case where the USSS took on trespassers. I can only find preventative measures.

Shortening Secret Service to SS sure seems weird when nazis are threatening to take hold of power. Caught me off guard.
Whoops, genuinely didn’t mean to.
I am undecided wether pointing that out was necessary. I just made an offhand comment and you did too. I did not think you were implying something. Hope I didn’t cause distress.
Nah, you’re right to have pointed it out, especially because of the circumstances. No distress here. ☮
I think typically people use “USSS” for this reason.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing_of_Ashli_Babbitt
Ashli Babbitt got shot full on by the secret service after attempting to force entry into the Speakers’ Lobby. After being repeatedly warned by secret service that they will be shot if they press forward, Zachary Alam broke the window and Babbitt attempted to rush in past the broken glass. Then she got shot. Big surprise.
Ashli Babbitt got shot full on by the secret service
Ashli Babbitt isn’t an example of the USSS taking down a threat. Your source claims:
she was shot in the left shoulder by a United States Capitol Police (USCP) officer.
The USCP isn’t the USSS (by my understanding, which is based on Wiki). I understand that the USSS were present at Jan 6 though, so your point stands.
Hmm, actually, that’s a pretty solid point. I missed that detail. Thanks for pointing that out.
Pretty sure he’s talking about Ashley babbit.
At first I thought that was a typo. But yes, this most certainly took place on land.
Unfortunately that profile in courage Jeff Bezos is more concerned about Trump potentially messing with his government contracts than threatening to have Washington Post reporters killed.
Trump’s backers, and especially Peter Thiel, whom JD Vance is an avatar for (Thiel put forward Vance as VP to Trump, and had sponsored Vance’s entire political career, which is only two years old), all read Curtis Yarvin.
Yarvin is Silicon Valley’s chosen “philosopher” - he advocates for the end of democracy and a return to monarchy, with billionaires as royalty and monarchs.
Stop giving Bezos the benefit of the doubt. There is no evidence that he’s doing shit in Trump’s favor for any reason other than that he likes fascism and wants to support it.
“There is no evidence that Bezos favors Trump. Apart from the fact that Bezos favors what Trump supports.”
My brother in Christ, do you read what you write?
Do you? Because the first half of your misquote was exactly the opposite of what I actually said.
you misread their comment
I actually always believed that Bezos was a Democrat, given his ownership of the Post, which has always had a clear anti-Trump message. I think it’s more plausible that he was scared of retaliation or that the GOP has something on him.
That’s a fair argument. It’s very circumstantial and not enough to convince me, though, especially if the Post was liberal before he bought it and it simply remained so through his inaction (which I believe to be the case – correct me if I’m wrong!). The rebuttal to “he must be liberal: he owns a liberal newspaper” is “yeah, but the first time he intervened in it, it was to force it to be more conservative.”
You don’t get to where he is by caring about other people.
It really sucks that everybody voting for trump is not your friend, even if you think they are. It’s just too many people for that to happen to.
Believe people when they show you what they really are.
