General John Kelly: "He said that, in his opinion, Mr. Trump met the definition of a fascist, would govern like a dictator if allowed, and had no understanding of the Constitution or the concept of rule of law."

Time Magazine:

Cortellessa: Do you think states should monitor women’s pregnancies so they can know if they’ve gotten an abortion after the ban? 

Trump: I think they might do that. 



“Trump just told TIME he plans to drag our country into a dark new era that would closely resemble authoritarianism. You don't have to take our word for it, take his. He just said he would deploy the military to do mass deportations, he would allow states to monitor pregnant women to see if they have abortions, he would fire U.S. attorneys that fail to carry out his orders, and he would pardon January 6 insurrectionists.” —Nichol Wallace

I suppose it is time to hunker down, take inventory of the neccessary supplies that will be needed to survive for a prolonged period and replenish supplies. Check armaments and insure ample firepower is at hand. Prepare for a period of guerrilla activity to take back our republic if the former guy attempts another insurrection and overthrow of our democracy when he loses in 2024.

After all he is the nation's greatest all time loser and he proves it every time he opens his filthy maw and regurgitates his ignorance, zenophobia, and authoritarian bullsh*t.

We beat the British in the revolution and we sure as hell can beat trump's and the GOP's desire for tyranny by trumpism in 2024.

Trump has been saying this kind of crap well before 2016, yet Americans voted him the President of the US.
Your characterization of Trump is correct, but it will not stop Americans from voting for him, sadly.

I think he was just telling the world what the States "might" do.

Kawanio che Keeteru!

Believe your delusions -fj. Ya might as well. Most folks know otherwise methinks. States Rightsis but a buzz word cons have been using for years.

Yeah, your right, Les. The 9th and 10th Amendments were never meant to be enforced. Especially after the US Civil War. @@

Let's go one step further and lock down pregnant women in a birthing facility. 😂

On the theme of Trump interviews, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel recently asked Fmr. Pres. Trump if he would commit to accepting the results of the Wisconsin 2024 elections, even if he loses.

Here's his response...

"If everything's honest, I'd gladly accept the results... If it's not, you have to fight for the right of the country."

That's a fair answer and they are Trump exact words, widely reported with no push back from him.

But journalists need to ask when he says stuff like this a few reasonable follow up questions like these... "Fair enough sir, then could you tell us what objective standard you will use to determine if we had a free, fair and accurate election? What evidence will you accept to make your determination?"

Those are also the same questions we need to be asking all MAGA and far right conservatives Trump supporters each and every day as we move towards the elections.

Read it yourself in the Milwaukee SJ

For those of us who actually believe our own eys, ears, and mind as phenomena unfolds, we know that in trump's hyper active narcissistic mind only HE defines truth and reality.

Therefore, it is possible to understand that win OR lose, in trump's mind, there is no difference. In his mind, regardless of outcome, he will have won. Because for him to lose absolutely would mean there was fraud. In trump's itty bitty narcissistic mind he can never legitimately lose.

And so, prepare now for the upcoming violence to follow.
