Does the left fear a 2024 run by President Trump? Looks that way, judging from this morning's AM Joy show on MSNBC, guest-hosted by Maria Teresa Kumar. The show devoted a segment to the possibility of Trump 2024. And in a pre-emptive strike on a possible run, the panel pleaded that the media shouldn't cover Trump, and that supporters shouldn't contribute to him.
The segment began with a clip of Kamala Harris cackling past the graveyard, replying "oh, please" to a reporter's question as to whether she believes Biden-Harris could defeat Trump were he to run again.
That segued into the unspeakable Jennifer Rubin, the MSNBC contributor and Washington Post columnist, begging the media to ignore Trump.

Check the video. I’d say there’s a good case to be made that Kamala’s cackle is even worse than Hillary’s. As for Jennifer Rubin: oy vey!
Ping to Liberal Media Ping List.
if he is forced to run 2024:

Democrats are UGLY! Inside and out.
If they get away with stealing this election, there will never be a fair election in this Country ever again.
The future of the country will need to be fought on state level, state by state. If it means millions of people filling the state capitals and not leaving until the election system have been cleaned up, that’s what has to be done.
Individuals proven to be responsible need to be held accountable.
Still carrying on screaming and demanding everybody else just shut up.
If there ever was a picture that shows an empty head
I have a better idea. How about President Trump wins his re-election battle then REALLY clears out the swamp?
Mark, I know we don’t see eye to eye on this, but the portions below aren’t owned by the blog and since FReepers pay for the bandwidth, then as a courtesy these should not be hidden behind an “excerpted, click here for more” teaser. Just my opinion.

Rubin’s words:
I think it’s somewhat ridiculous. And it’s also a good test for the media, frankly. There is absolutely no bigger story than the inauguration of Joe Biden and no one should cover Trump. This is his pathetic venting — like a two-year old jumping up and down, ‘Me, me, me!’
But in point of fact, he is going to do all sorts of things and he is not the center of our political life anymore. He is not the story. And I think Kamala Harris may have been amused that this is now Republicans’ problem to deal with. He is the one who is now going to be hanging like a dark cloud over the 2024 wannabes. So let them cope with him, and they should ignore him thoroughly and get on with the business of governing the country.

REPORTER: President Trump has been making motions that he will run again in 2024. Do you feel like you and President-elect Biden would be ready to face him again?
KAMALA HARRIS [cackles]: Please.
MARIA TERESA KUMAR: Despite what the Vice-president-elect may think, Donald Trump is reportedly already planning on running for president again in 2024. And according to the Daily Beast, in Trump fashion he may even hold a campaign event during the President-elect Biden’s inauguration.
. . .
Jennifer, as a, you know, minted Republican, what’s your take on this, having a side event during one of the most important pieces of transferring power from one president to the next? What’s your take?
Jennifer Rubin MSNBC AM Joy 11-29-20JENNIFER RUBIN: I think it’s somewhat ridiculous. And it’s also a good test for the media, frankly. There is absolutely no bigger story than the inauguration of Joe Biden and no one should cover Trump. This is his pathetic venting — like a two-year old jumping up and down, ‘Me, me, me!’
But in point of fact, he is going to do all sorts of things and he is not the center of our political life anymore. He is not the story. And I think Kamala Harris may have been amused that this is now Republicans’ problem to deal with. He is the one who is now going to be hanging like a dark cloud over the 2024 wannabes. So let them cope with him, and they should ignore him thoroughly and get on with the business of governing the country.
KUMAR: Tim, I want to talk this whole thing that we’re finding that one of the reasons that he may be saying that he’s running for president is more to line his own coffers. Take this [reads WaPo headline]: “Trump solicits ‘election defense’ donations that also finance his new leadership PAC.” But according to the fine print, 60% of each donation goes to Save America and 40% goes to other committees, including the national party and the Trump campaign accounts. You wrote “Trump Nation.” Is this just a way for him to line his coffers?
TIM O’BRIEN: Of course it’s a way for him to continue lining his pockets, his wallet, his coffers, his vault in the basement of Trump Tower. He’s been doing these kinds of things forever. I mean, remember — pardon me — this is a man who has been essentially ex-communicated from the philanthropic world because he and his three eldest children looted a charity that they have been soliciting funds for forever. And the second they began this narrative about election fraud, Eric Trump was tweeting people to donate to Trump’s reelection fund.
I think there’s no question in their minds that this is a money making opportunity. He will get to keep the money that goes into something like this.
And the reality is, there’s some real wild cards out there about his ability to run again in 2024. The one that’s most salient to me is if the Manhattan district attorney charges Donald Trump with a crime and Donald Trump is convicted, he won’t be allowed to run again. So any Republican or Trump supporter who wants to give money to Trump, should bear in mind that he has a long track record of being — scamming and weasely with other people’s money, and that he has run afoul of the law and that could complicate things as well.
. . .
RUBIN: Well, far be it for me to quote or use something that Roger Stone said, but he suggested that Republicans boycott the Georgia elections. Well, if Republicans want to do that maybe we should boycott coverage of Donald Trump. Seriously.
There is plenty of news being made, and I think both the Biden camp and the media have to sort of agree that we’re going to get back as you said to policy, to facts, to normalcy.
. .
And I think it behooves the media, I think it behooves all the political class, to exercise some self-discipline and keep the eye on the ball.
. . .
KUMAR: Is the media going to be disciplined enough to do that and to change the chapter that Jennifer is encouraging us to do once he’s no longer in office or will we be too tempted to cover his shenanigans, and what harm can that cause if we do?
O’BRIEN: Well, I think that that is the — that is the core question about how the media deals with Trump obviously going forward . . . And I think the challenge now for the media is — and it’s always been the challenge with Trump, because politics obviously is a world in which there’s a lot of dissembling and spin. But Donald Trump is of a different order of magnitude. Because he is a pathologic liar and because he has the traction and the imagination of a large swath of the voting base, how does the media cover someone like this, when the traditional approach of the media is to try to be, at least institutional mainstream media, objective, present readers with fact, present readers with both sides of an issue and, then quote/unquote, let the readers decide in an ideal world.
Donald Trump, I think, blows that approach up. And the real challenge for the media going forward, I think is, to limit his air time when he’s obviously lying or when he’s twisting the public interest to his own services. And then to cover him in a way that doesn’t fall into “both-sidesism,” and doesn’t fall into overly credulousness about — being overly credulous, about who he is and what he has done. Because he is a very dangerous force in American society right now.
If he goes, by hook or by crook, then it will not matter much what comes next. This is because the Dems will no longer need to cheat to beat a Romney type, and if they manage to a) normalize a couple million illegal immigrants; b) continue having mass immigration of Blue Voters to Red States like Texas and Arizona, and c) flip the Senate while keeping the House and the Executive ...then it’s over. Cheating will no longer be required.
Which is why even where I am currently based there are churches in Africa praying for President Trump! Why? How is that? Because in the evangelical community here people understand (1) America’s importance in the global scheme of things (if America falls ....); and (2) that President Trump in many ways is doing God’s work. Many of the evangelicals here believe he is a ‘King Cyrus,’ but all of them believe he is doing the Lord’s work.
What you are seeing is not just an attack on the president, but on America and what it stands for. I am not as confident as some of you here that our side will win (as I told my wife two weekends ago, I really hope I am wrong), but I really pray hard the good side wins. Because if the good side loses it will not just affect America but the world as well.
One last thing - Republicans (Conservatives as a whole) need to play the long game. That’s one area where the Liberals have done a good job (which has been detrimental to all and sundry). To those who have grandchildren ...how are they? Likely to be Liberals, right? The Left has been pushing indoctrination masked as education through the schooling system for decades now, if you look at the media it is almost totally converted into a mouthpiece for the left, if you look at entertainment there are cartoons for kids that espouse gay relationships, etc etc etc. Even in politics - the average GOP Senator or Representative is likely to be more liberal than a Democrat Senator or Representative from the 1970s! It’s a slow move to the Left, and the only reason it’s being noticed now is that it’s accelerating.
That’s the other stratagem of the Left - even if they lose this time, their plan is just to ‘wait us out.’ Unless something is done NOW to ensure future generations understand how blessed America is, then unfortunately the America you know will not be there in 2050.
I don’t believe it’s too late, but it’s almost ...
2024 doesn’t matter if the stolen election is not overturned NOW and the voter fraud system is not totally & completely destroyed...for starters.
As I posted in another thread, If they get away with stealing this election, there will never be another fair election in this Country, ever, again.
The Deep State will have won.
This cant be allowed to happen. Those who are responsible for attempting this coup must be held accountable.
I’m hoping and praying that is what the expansion of Guantanamo bay is for. ... We (Trump )knew this was coming!
There will be no DJT run in 2024 or presidency in 2025.
That will be like holding out hope that The Bent One could be prosecuted after his second term was over, since he wasn’t removed from office after impeachment.
If he is to have a second term it has to be the one he just won.
he will have forced the Democrats to agree to allow on-line video monitoring of elections precisely to the extent that the Republicans are willing to pay for it. Which would be very considerable in Atlanta, Philadelphia, etc. It should include systematic video monitoring of people entering polling places, to document pretty accurately how many people are showing up at the polls.And meaningful restrictions on scattering ballots to the four winds in order to harvest them and mass produce Harris ballots. “Meaningful” in the sense that significant penalties would fall on the party which promoted/exploited such. What would be the point in running otherwise?
Those would be the minimum that Trump’s court challenges must extract from the system for future elections to have democratic credibility.
They can ignore Trump if they can ignore Huntergate.But SCOTUS must overturn the New York Times Co. v. Sullivan decision, allowing Republicans to sue for libel. Trump will have to bring the case to SCOTUS; and he and Mark Levin agreed on TV that Sullivan must be challenged.
Sullivan asserts that all officials have a hard time justifying suing for libel, claiming that 1A supports that claim. This is blatantly ahistorical; the Bill of Rights reified rights as they were understood in the founding era, and neither the framers nor the ratifiers of it thought it changed a thing. Including the right to sue for libel.
Thanx for inadvertently why there should be an excerpt on this thread since your “format” is almost entirely unreadable plus it lacks the video. MUCH easier to read this at the source and not Poor Larry’s pathetic formatting of it.
That’s what half the country will be doing if Biden completes the steal... ignoring Biden and ignoring the media and carrying on with our lives giving as little as possible back to the government. By the time the democrats and the globalists are done screwing up the country the people will be begging for America First.
