Yup, and Trump doesn't have a choice. It's looking more and more likely that he's going to lose a lot of money and potentially face jail time. His only way out is to seize power. Since he's backed himself into a corner, he'll try everything to steal the next election, including another coup attempt.
I don't personally think it'll work, but on the slim chance it does many of us will be facing an existential threat which will require swift action. He's already publicly stated that he sees leftists as vermin which need to be eradicated, and I, for one, don't want to give him the chance to act on that threat.
Yeah and Donnie’s definition of leftist is anyone that isn’t actively deep throating his boot
Of course he has a choice.
He can choose facing the consequences of his actions.
If that's unappealing, he can also choose to, let's say, "pull an Epstein".
Let's not give him the benefit of saying this is the only "strategy" he has left, because that implies you can't blame him for trying. Like any reasonable person in his position would do the same thing.
And that's complete nonsense. He's not an animal stuck in a bear trap, he's a human being, who has been very open about his penchant for fascism long before he was charged.
If you are making a joke here, it is funny.
Epstein did not kill himself.
Regardless it's an option for him.
Nobody said otherwise.
If somehow, Trump managed to off himself despite constant monitoring by his secret service detail, what a shame that'd be.
I might have to take a day off of work just to celebrate.
I'm speaking pragmatically. Perhaps 'choice' wasn't the best word.
I find both of these alternatives extremely unlikely, but here's hoping.
He's too much of a narcissist to pull an Epstein
The leftists need to learn how to use guns and own them. SocialistRA and liberalgunowners are communities that welcome leftist gun enthusiasts and new comers who want to learn for whatever reason.
There are plenty of "leftists" who own guns in the US.
They just don't flaunt it around like the rightards do.
As evident by the 2 orgs I Listed in my comment. I'm aware, but most of the left aren't gun owners, like 70%. I'm obviously not talking about the ones who already are.
