The only way they could stanch the red would be either by massive vote fraud, or by declaring a national emergency (war with china?) and suspending elections. So the question is: are Dems (or, more accurately, their backers) so desperate to save their transnational agenda that they would do something that extreme?
I mean, they've "regime changed" elsewhere, so why not here?
(Possibly bc the USA is split too close to 50/50 to successfully regime-change.)

One of the few times the MAGA crowd have parted ways with their president has been over the matter of COVID vaccines. Trump himself was publicly vaccinated and has bragged about his administration pushing to develop the vaccine so quickly. But on Tuesday morning, Trump “re-truthed” a post that featured a fake quote from his daughter Ivanka. The fake quote warned her compatriots to avoid the “useless vaccines” and “cure yourself naturally at home” because the Biden administration was “trying to manipulate you.”
This is the first time Trump has openly painted the COVID vaccine as a malicious tool of the Biden administration and, as far as we know, the first time he has shared fake Ivanka quotes as though they were real.
Bonus: Call for Reinstatement
Trump actually posted this a little before noon on Monday, but it set the tone for his middle-of-the-night outburst that went into Tuesday morning. In a post on TruthSocial, Trump claimed that the FBI covered up a story about Hunter Biden’s laptop in order to prevent Trump from winning. While it’s very hard to navigate what this allegation was all about, Trump’s remedy was fairly straightforward and new: that two years into Biden’s presidency Trump be declared the rightful winner and installed in the White House, or at the minimum have a do-over election “immediately!”
The president has never really stopped complaining about the stolen election, but he had not previously publicly claimed that he should be reinstated in office — a notion as constitutionally absurd as it sounds.

Quote:The next election is a referendum on Trump and abortion. Vote for GOP politicians, assuming you want the ex-president to "burn down the republic" if need be to stop prosecutors from going after him, according to a former GOP congressman.

WASHINGTON - America can have peace and tranquility. Or it can have a criminal prosecution of Donald Trump. It cannot have both.
Presenting this mob-like ultimatum appears to have become the former president’s strategy as the FBI and the Department of Justice close in on Trump’s possession of and refusal to return top secret documents he took with him to his Florida social club when he left the White House following his failed coup attempt.
“Nice store you got here. Be a shame if something happened to it,” said Glenn Kirschner, a federal prosecutor who spent more than two decades in the U.S. attorney’s office in Washington, D.C., comparing it to “protection rackets” used by organized crime. “Nice country you got here. Be a shame if a civil war destroyed it.”
In near daily statements on his social media platform, in fundraising emails and in interviews, Trump has called law enforcement officials corrupt, illegitimate and reminiscent of Soviet Russia as he demands that prosecutors drop their investigations.
Even more ominously, Trump, via his legal team, delivered a message to Attorney General Merrick Garland on Aug. 11, three days after the search of his Mar-a-Lago residence, that might have been lifted from the film “The Untouchables”:
“President Trump wants the attorney general to know that he has been hearing from people all over the country about the raid. If there was one word to describe their mood, it is ‘angry,’” Trump’s lawyers revealed in a lawsuit trying to block release of the seized documents to prosecutors. “The heat is building up. The pressure is building up. Whatever I can do to take the heat down, to bring the pressure down, just let us know.”
“It’s the language he uses,” said Stuart Stevens, a longtime GOP consultant who left the party after it fell under Trump’s sway. “Trump is a gangster.”
Trump’s inflammatory language has already forced the FBI and prosecutors to guard against violence from Trump followers. One Trump supporter is dead after a shootout with police following his attempt to attack the FBI field office in Cincinnati, Ohio.
Trump’s office did not respond to HuffPost’s queries for this story.
Danya Perry, a former prosecutor in the U.S. attorney’s office in the Southern District of New York, a center for mob investigations, called Trump’s message “a lightly veiled threat” delivered only after he had first stoked rage among his followers.
“It also lays bare that he knows he easily could calm down his supporters but actively chooses not to, just as the 187 minutes of purposeful inaction during the insurrection,” she said, referring to the three hours that Trump allowed the Jan. 6, 2021, assault on the Capitol to continue before asking his people to leave. “His message to AG Garland is that he can do it the easy way or the hard way. And that does sound like a scene out of an old mob movie.”
A Long History Of Stoking Violence
Neither Trump’s connections to actual organized crime figures nor his glorification and support of violence on his behalf is new. As a New York City developer, Trump boasted about working with mob-connected businesses in his construction projects. One of his early mentors was Roy Cohn, an actual mob lawyer.

Twenty years ago next month, President George W. Bush stood before the United Nations and warned that Saddam Hussein’s Iraq was a “grave and gathering danger,” setting the stage for an invasion six months later based on false premises about super-destructive weapons and purported connections to the 9/11 attacks.
The war ultimately killed 4,500 Americans and more than 100,000 Iraqis, and cost the United States $800 billion, according to the Council on Foreign Relations.
I’ve been thinking about Bush’s legacy because I saw a book in a half-price bin at a local bookstore subtitled “How the Bush Administration Took America into Iraq” and I realized that, frankly, no one cares anymore. At least not in this country. Too much has happened in the intervening two decades.
Remember the Bush years? At the time, many people thought he was the most awful president ever. I distinctly remember the cover of Rolling Stone in May 2006. Bush was drawn sitting on a stool wearing a dunce cap and a stupid expression, and the headline asked: “The Worst President in History?”
Democrats felt a special loathing for this callow scion of an entitled political family, and for his administration’s moral failings. The embrace of torture, for instance. The offshore prison at Guantanamo where suspects were detained (and still are) without trial. The unnecessary war with Iraq that battered America’s reputation around the world.
Those were the days when Bush was being compared to the least successful presidents in history: James Buchanan, Franklin Pierce, Richard Nixon.
But those days are over. These days you’re more likely to hear that Bush is a surprisingly talented painter, even a charming dinner companion. He’s a friend of Michelle Obama’s — “I love him to death,” she said — and if she likes him, why shouldn’t we? His approval ratings have rebounded dramatically, climbing from a lethargic 33% favorable when he left office to a robust 61% favorable in 2018, according to a CNN poll. For a Republican, he’s starting to seem refreshingly rational and reasonable.
How did that happen?
Well, some of it obviously is due to the passage of time, which heals all favorability ratings. Nixon, who was driven out of office during the Watergate scandal, was more popular by the time he died in 1994 than when he resigned 20 years earlier. Bill Clinton climbed back from his Lewinsky lows. Americans forget their history quickly. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof, as the Bible says.
But the main thing that happened, I’m afraid, was that someone even worse and more terrifying came along: Donald Trump, a president so utterly transgressive that Bush began to look almost OK in the rearview mirror.
Yes, it was Bush not Trump who signed the Patriot Act into law and mishandled Hurricane Katrina and presided over the start of Great Recession and championed the privatization of Social Security. He was the doofus who extolled Americans who were “working hard to put food on your family” and asked “Is your children learning?” and then dared to insist he’d been “misunderestimated.” His policies led to a lot more deaths than Trump’s did.
But at the end of the day, there’s a meaningful distinction in my mind between the wrongs perpetrated by Bush and those attributable to Trump, who for my money really was the worst president, certainly of my lifetime.
Trump wasn’t just any old bad president.
What made Trump unfit wasn't his policies or even his beliefs, to the extent he had any. It was his character. He’s a dishonest, anti-democratic, twice-impeached demagogue, a corrupt and irresponsible man without principles who couldn’t rise above his own obsession with self-enrichment, self-aggrandizement and a place at center stage.
His refusal to accept the 2020 election results showed that Trump has no respect for American institut

That's not what we're talking about right now. We're talking about how Democrat politicians and the Democrat-ran media incites violence with their rhetoric every day and not only don't you call it out but you don't even acknowledge it.
But yeah. I remember when I thought GWB was the worst President ever. You weren't here back then. I don't believe you ever felt that way. You and Ted constantly blow the Neo-Cons today.
Save yourself time and refrain from posting your walls of text. Nobody here reads them past the first sentence or two.
You've burned any credibility you might have once had. Your opinions on anything are meaningless.

Red wave crashing? GOP momentum slips as fall sprint begins
The political landscape, while still in flux, follows a string of President Joe Biden's legislative victories on climate, health care and gun violence, just as Donald Trump's hand-picked candidates in electoral battlegrounds like Arizona, Georgia, Ohio and Pennsylvania struggle to broaden their appeal. But nothing has undermined the GOP's momentum more than the Supreme Court's stunning decision in June to end abortion protections, which triggered a swift backlash even in the reddest of red states.

Trump Rally in Pennsylvania Was a 'Major Gift' to Democrats: Ex-GOP Rep
"Just by showing up in Pennsylvania he is making the election much more about himself, and of course most Republican candidates don't want anything to do with Donald Trump in this general election, they want this to be about Joe Biden and the Democrats," the former Pennsylvania lawmaker and CNN political commentator said.
"And to the extent Trump inserts himself into this conversation, he's giving the Democrats a major gift right now, and that's what we're witnessing in Pennsylvania," he added.

Ted's blowing Neo-Cons again today I see.
PRO TIP: Neo-Cons lie to you just as much in 2022 as they did in 2002.
