Donald Trump the Megathread part II - threadbans and mod warnings in OP

“We are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be,” Roberts said.

Nothing to see here folks or so we're told by the centerists here

very informative

it’s why it doesn’t matter, even though it should.

Everyone already made up their minds about these 2 candidates literally years ago. All that matters is how many of them show up to vote in November.

Apart from the fact that Rolling Stone Magazine is also running with the story and it looks like Roberts is inviting a response from the left not to go quietly into history, Is the positioning of the Stars and Stripes behind Roberts similar to the way it was flown outside the residence of a SCOTUS Judge?

"The Daily Signal is a conservative American political media news and commentary website founded in June 2014. The website focuses on politics, policy, and culture and offers political commentary from a conservative perspective.

The Daily Signal was a project of The Heritage Foundation, a Washington, D.C.-based conservative think tank from the time of its launch in 2014 until June 3, 2024, when it became an independent publication with its own board of directors and leadership"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Heritage_Foundation

"Heritage leads Project 2025, an expansive plan to reshape the federal government and consolidate executive power should a Republican be elected president in 2024."

So of course the Daily Signal would publish an article sayoing Top 5 Things the Left Gets Wrong About Project 2025. Not exactly neutral in all of this?

This is another swing and a miss in a long long list of them

Its bizarre how the likes of Trump and the GOP have made the term "the left" acceptable in describing Democrats like Joe Biden as communists and Marxists (and bizarrely sometimes fascists) .

From that daily signal article…

"Winding down and eventually abolishing the Department of Education would
ultimately be in the interest of Americans, increasing the quality of
education. Reforming the FBI would protect Americans from the
politically corrupt leadership that runs the agency today."

Imagine a country with no department of education.

"Project 2025 would rein in rogue and authoritarian elements within the
Justice Department, the Department of Homeland Security, and other parts
of the U.S. government."

Trump wants complete control of the justice department and would use this control to go after whoever he wants to.

This is a fair point, only if for instance you have a moral Seal Team 6.

Project 2025 for example, seeks to begin a process toward a unitary executive government loaded with loyalists. And it's not like they're starting from scratch, a major portion of the courts you just mentioned in your response are already in capture, from lower courts like Aileen Cannon's, to the supreme court of John Roberts. The document says out loud some things that have already been in motion for a very, very long time - and have born fruit. There is no special guardrail to prevent this capture from happening in the military, either.

You can't call it a coup d'état as its not from the specific region, in this case it's just Sparkling Insurrection

In so far as Trump seems to be of the mindset that "to the victor go the spoils" and that the rules which [in the way the modern US ran its affairs over the last few decades] are for him to decide, I agree with Manic Moran. That is the basis of Trump's "successes". He's no gentle-person willing to abide by the constitution. He is using it as a tool for his aims and, with the aid of lawyers, to swamp and subvert SCOTUS and the lower courts with paperwork. They are making it impossible to use the laws for the original honourable purpose they were crafted for.

The statement by the Democrat Representative in the House leading the prosecution case against Trump about the US being a nation of laws shows it's unfortunate weakness when it comes to a political creature like Trump who doesn't give a fig for the law. He's succeeded in turning the swamp in Washington into a morass and making an ass out of the law and SCOTUS into the bargain. It may take the suspension of the usual court system [a special criminal court set up for two or three years] to deal with and eradicate Trump-ism from the US body corporate, political and legal. Keep in mind that he has already tempered the justice system toward that end himself and it would only be right if he were hoist on a scaffold of his own making.
