As Trump keeps rising in the polls, the left is starting to panic.
Former President Donald Trump is cruising toward the GOP nomination.
In the general election, Trump has a 2 point lead over President Joe Biden in the RealClearPolitics average, with most polls showing Trump ahead by anywhere from 1 to 6 points.
Throw in other candidates like RFK, Jr, Cornell West, or Joe Manchin, and Trump’s lead grows to 4-5 points. Meanwhile Biden’s mental state is declining, as are his poll numbers and the overall state of America.
Corporate media, Democrats, and Never-Trump Republicans are realizing the inevitability of a Trump second term, barring imprisonment or worse, and their panic is manifest.
An NBC News headline last week revealed palpable fear:
Fight or flight: Fearful Trump critics weigh the risk of retribution if he’s reelected.

Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman and family wonder if they will have to flee the country if Trump is reelected. Ditto Stephanie Grisham, a former Trump White House press secretary, who wrote a tell-all book, which like most such books, is a he-said, she-said bucket of unverified half-truths.
Their fear knows no bounds, “They’ve discussed moving to countries without extradition treaties in the event Trump comes back.”
Lots of countries fit the bill. They can set up new homes in Cameroon, Brunei, Russia, or Nepal.

In the original (Greek) concept, justice was, in essence, revenge administered by the state.
You’ve seen that scene in the Peter O’Toole film, Lawrence of Arabia, when Lawrence executes a man (who he he earlier had saved from dying in the desert) because he had murdered a man from another tribe. And Lawrence, being of neither tribe (and hence a dispassionate third party), could perform the execution without it provoking still more killing. It’s like that.
That justice and revenge somehow must be mutually exclusive is a thoroughly modern concept, but not necessarily an advanced one.
Reminder of prior Trump promises/claims:
Drain the Swamp
I’m going to build a wall
I am the Law and Order President™
America will never be communist
We will designate ANTIFA as a terrorist organization
They’re after you, I’m just in the way (tweeted right before COVID)
I came up with three vaccines, all very good, one of the greatest achievements of all mankind
If we do a really good job following COVID guidelines ... (6 months later) ... they’re rigging the election with mail-in ballots
Stop the Steal
They’re never gonna get this White House, we’re going to fight like hell
Will Trump’s return be revenge or retribution? The problem, reaction, solution Hegelian dialectic does not only apply to leftists.
BOTH!!! I want revenge, and I want retribution.
I believe Prez Trump said, “Revenge will be success in the General.” However, IMHO there is going to be much retribution leading to prison time.
That's not much of a lead. A few boxes of "lost" mail-in ballots here and there found a week later can overcome that lead.
What has 'em in a panic is Trump's promise to clean up Washington: viz. abolish corruption and the parasitizing of the American People and to bring the cashcow of the corrupt and crooked politicians and their henchpersons to a screeching halt.
How many politicians go to Washington with no financial assets and become multimillionaires within five years?!??
Trump LOST money serving as President and gave his Presidential salary to charity. This is only ONE example of his commitment to honesty and integrity and to service to the American People and his beloved USA! He has no other reason to seek the Presidency.
Anyone who opposes Trump's re-election is either a crook or a useful idiot.
It was Trump's vow: "The party's over; I'm going to clean up Washington," that set off their campaign to destroy Trump, his wealth, his family, and his supporters--at ANY COST--even the destruction of the USA! This says everything any honest person needs to know about his opponents.
This sent them into a panic because they knew he has the puissance, integrity, determination, and personal resources to do it!
That's why they're in a panic now!
So long as a whole lot of demonrat criminals end up with long prison sentences I don’t care what word is used.
If I was a NY citizen, I’d bee very worried Rump will cut off $70b in yearly aid to the state. I’m not too worried, NY is well into self destruction without Trump doing anything. I doubt anything will be left come January 21, 2025.
Just keep saying that justice will be re-established in the US. That should scare the criminals without giving the Aholes in the MSM any ammunition.
Poetic justice.😎
There won’t be either.
President Trump will need to work with Congress and the Courts.
It’s just the way it is - and for good reason.
Please, please, please move to Cameroon or Brunei. They could even move to Australia because Australia will not extradite if it could be a death penalty. So I am sure they believe that Trump will kill them. Please move. Is there a go fund me site yet?
A RECKONING.
BOTH. Take a flame thrower to the bureaucracy. 99% of the bureaucracy could be eliminated and no one productive would notice. Then unleash the DOJ on the same people and destroy them. Play the democrat party liberal game. Use every resource in the federal government to absolutely crush them and destroy their organizations. They established the precedent and Trump must use it.
