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.

CNN having a cow... man.
Biden, due to his dementia, is more delusional than Trump yet I’m still waiting for the enmedia to write about it.
Eat me
Good. I need to do some chilling
Bot. GOPe. Whichever. Don’t care. Dislike the man if you must. I don’t and will vote for him again in a heartbeat.
Enough. Better things to do...
If there's any way for a new R administration to go through emails and texts of insiders to find out the sources of leaks, especially those who RAN the conspiracy Op of Trump/Russia, it would go a long way in cleaning out the trash that is ruining the country.
We KNOW the eneMedia was a willing participant in what THEY KNEW was fake, because NONE of their "sources" who proved to be wrong at every turn, has been outed/revealed.
Hey, it is a good idea for Trump to keep re-hashing the 2020 election. He should continue bring it up at every opportunity. Glad he asked GA voters “Why vote?” in Dec 2020 prior to the Senate runoff. That was a great idea. Surely he is glad the Democrats control the Senate.
Chilling = Cool
Can’t happen fast enough
Navymom1, yours is the best summation of those 4 years that I have seen in print yet. Brief and right on point.

Thanks!!
Fragile ego?
Any lesser man would have folded from the extreme abuse one month into his presidency.
A lie told long enough becomes true. The rats know that we know President Trump won 2020. They are the ones that can’t let go of their fraud.
“Democracy” = the corrupt Stalinazi Demonrat Derp State thugocracy
Which, of course, they were. Imagine a scenario where you had Emperor Zero being “checked” by his hires, the same Stalinazi media would be screaming “racists !”, “subversives !”, “traitors !” 24/7.
If it wasn’t for double standards, the media/Derp State would have none at all.
“1984” is their guidebook. Same with the rest of the enemedia.
Oh, are you still here ? As I said, if the media wanted Trump, they’d be pimping him 24/7. They are terrified of him, because he and his movement (that’s US, well, not you) are an existential threat to their Satanic power and destruction of our nation.
So, hey, keep flogging that dead horse and repeating the lies and talking points of that pedophile org led by George Conway. Speaking of sore losers...
I’d have paid good money to see John Dean and G. Gordon Liddy in a glass 8”x10” cage for an hour.
Toilet Paper Terrorist can’t grasp the concept of “stolen.”
Marv’s OK. He’s just pulling out the propaganda/gaslighting lies from the farticle so we can all derisively titter at them.
They broke the word “dark” after President Trump’s 2017 Inaugural Address. What a pathetic bunch of losers these media people are.
