Chilling would be finding this creepy author in your basement.

Former President Donald Trump conjured a vision of a second term that would function as a tool of personal vengeance, and become even more authoritarian than his first, when he vowed to pardon US Capitol insurrectionists if he runs for the White House again and wins.
His pledge at a Texas rally Saturday was accompanied by a call for demonstrations if prosecutors in New York, who are probing Trump's business practices, and those in Georgia, looking into his attempts to reverse his election loss in the state, do anything that he defined as wrong or illegal. The comments underscore Trump's obsession with delusional lies that he won the 2020 election, and his determination to put that falsehood at the core of the Republican worldview. As was often the case during his four years in office, Trump's pardons threat shows that he still makes no distinction between his personal goals and the national interest or rule of law.
But the former President's new rhetorical outburst also at times hinted at concern with his own legal position, and comes at a moment when various criminal and congressional lines of investigation seem to be tightening around him. The House select committee probing the January 6, 2021 riot has now penetrated deep inside Trump's West Wing inner circle, and he lost a Supreme Court bid to keep key documents secret. The likelihood of a damning accounting from the committee, bristling with new details about Trump's attempt to destroy American democracy, is growing, though the GOP has sought to thwart it at every turn.

“Chilling”
Nope. No bias there.
DJT could make it really chilling - Tapper, Cooper and Blitzer locked in a meat locker, with the rest of the frozen livestock?
We can only hope he offers a chilling glimpse into a second term.....(I refuse to say possible).
Think how “chilling” it would be if we secured the border and restored the rule of law.............
This “chilling glimpse” sounds good to me.
Yeah, I saw the title, clicked and saw who posted it. Maybe they’ll figure they’re only out is suicide.
Don’t forget Jeff Mother Zucker.
We already have “the rules of law”.....what’s lacking so greatly is enforcing them at all levels.
This time get people who support you for advice and not RHINOs.

“Chilling glimpse.”
LMAOGTFO.
The Left already (and really have been) sh*tting all over themselves in fear of him.
He’s got to stop obsessing over the 2020 election, to start with.
But, he can’t. His ego is so fragile he can’t possibly learn how to move on.
Exercising a Constitutional prerogative is now 'authoritarian?'
Like back-door vax mandates ala Biden?
Like circumventing US immigration laws by ordering his agencies to forgo law enforcement and actually pay subcontracted NGOs to secretly distribute and discharge illegals everywhere in the country without STATES' consent?
Like ordering his DOJ to persecute citizens for trying to hold their school boards to account for curricula? (not a Constitutional problem, BTW)
CNN needs to go change its corporate panties; they've peed what they have on with this...
Trump would have a difficult time winning over independents due to this abrasive personality and hostile media in opposition.
I find it interesting that CNN didn’t mention anything about who started the Trump Russia collusion narrative or if anything should be done about wasting taxpayer’s money on an investigation and impeachment attempt. Basically CNN is condoning the lie that Trump colluded with Russia.
Panic Porn from a Partisan Media Shill and Stooge alert.
Sod off…
Sit and spin…. And dream on.
Cant wait for the ‘24 election total rehash of 2020 including non stop attacks on Pence
