Monday, September 09, 2024

Former President Donald Trump, who makes frequent false claims that the 2020 presidential election was stolen through rampant fraud, warned Saturday that he would attempt to imprison anyone who engages in "unscrupulous behavior" during the 2024 race results.

Oh, if he gets elected Trump will imprison people. The number will run into the thousands. not counting those mass deportations of migrants.

Trumps NEEDS to imprison others, and also kill not a few, in order to protect himself and to feed that massive, canabalistic ego.

Just like Maduro.

When they tell you who they are, believe them.

Biden should do the same. Threaten to arrest anyone who intimidates or makes false accusations against election workers.

The guy who attempted the biggest election fraud in history is going to punish election fraud? He means he'll punish those who DONT help him with his fraud.

He should then be sending himself to prison for attempting to overturn the last election.

Might be a bad idea to intimidate voters in a "stand your ground" state.

If Trump is President, he'll also shut down liberal sites like the one we're using right now.

Trump, A dictator with no guardrails, will be like a raging bull in a China shop. Anybody who exercised their rights in this current democracy will be running for their lives. Free Speech will become a distant memory.

Think it can't happen in America? LOL - Vote for Trump and find out. Just remember, there aren't any do-overs. Dictators make sure of that.

Gangsterism pure and simple.

This is an attempt to intimated election workers to give him the benefit of the doubt in any and all questionable situations.

A vote for Trump is a vote for Putin's style of oligarch led fascism, and along the way, the end of American independent media.

"A top Republican pollster says he has never seen a candidate more determined to "blow" an election than Donald Trump.

Frank Luntz, a pollster and GOP strategist for the likes of ex-New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani, posted on social media on Saturday to take the shot at the Republican nominee.

"I have never seen a candidate more determined to blow an election," Lutz wrote in response to Trump's promise to imprison his political opponents.

"Instead of talking about affordability and immigration security (the top public issues), Trump is once again screaming about prosecuting his opponents.

"Message to Donald: Focus on helping voters, not yourself," Lutz concluded."

Donald Dick's only focus has ever been himself. This is not about to change.

Wait for your Trump supporting aquaintences to get thei prescribed talking points to defend Trump and say he didn't mean what he said or some such nonsense. He is basically threatening officials with jail if they allow an accurate and fair count of the vote and IMHO that constitutes a crime for which he should be arrested and charged with election interference.

"He should have to answer a question about that tonight."

Dream on. Trump never answers questions that puts him in a box. He just dissolves into an unrelated puddle of jibber-jabber and ---------- and, when challenged, claims that (un-named) English professors told him he's a genius.
