Some general basics: Good as opposed to evil, lies as compared to truth, right vs. wrong, fake vs. real, criminal vs. lawful, sane vs. otherwise, hate vs. not hate.. 😕 Do some Americans not see or understand the difference?

 (Commentary, including reposted material. Temporarily posted.)

↓Compare and contrast. Unaffiliated, excerpted sources are linked:


WRONG (..evil, criminal, unhinged, hateful, etc.):

 Now, if I don’t get elected, it’s going to be a blood bath for the whole — that’s going to be the least of it. It’s going to be a blood bath for the country.”

3/18/24 update: 'King of weasels' Donald Trump is now trying to weasel out of his 'bloodbath' threat. ..AS USUAL, inarticulate Trump was UNCLEAR as he was speaking. He began this particular rambling moment by ranting (wildly speculatively + fact-free, of course) about the supposed near-future of the U.S. auto industry. ..But he kind of trailed off at a key moment while speaking, and then declared "...that’s going to be the least of it. It’s going to be a blood bath for the country. That'll be the least of it." ..Unclear, and possibly deliberately ambiguous with the (issuance of a) wider threat. 

What(ever) he said (..tried to): IT'S STILL WRONG. Standing by what was quoted as excerpted above. More here (unaffiliated opinion article link): "Trump's 'blood bath' threat wasn't even the most dangerous thing he said all weekend"


WRONG

"The former president opened his speech by praising the people serving sentences in connection with the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the Capitol. Mr. Trump, who faces criminal charges tied to his efforts to overturn his election loss, called them “hostages” and “unbelievable patriots,” commended their spirit and vowed to help them if elected in November.. 

WRONG

"He asserted, without evidence, that other countries were emptying their prisons of “young people” and sending them across the border. “I don’t know if you call them ‘people,’ in some cases,” he said. “They’re not people, in my opinion.” He later referred to them as “animals.”"

 

WRONG

"At multiple points in his speech Trump repeated the debunked claim that he was cheated out of a win in the 2020 presidential election."


WRONG
"Mr. Trump called Mr. Biden a “stupid president” several times and at one point referred to him as a “dumb son of a — ” before trailing off. He also compared Ms. Willis’s first name to a vulgarity, called Mr. Newsom “Gavin New-scum” ..."

 

WRONG

"Trump said the criminal indictments against him for his efforts to overturn the 2020 election results wouldn’t have happened if he wasn’t running for president..."

 

↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓

RIGHT (..truthful, accurate, real, sane, etc.)

"This is who Donald Trump is: a loser who gets beat by over 7 million votes and then instead of appealing to a wider mainstream audience doubles down on his threats of political violence.” ...“He wants another January 6, but the American people are going to give him another electoral defeat this November because they continue to reject his extremism, his affection for violence, and his thirst for revenge.”"


 BTW:

..THIS line of b.s., (part is highlighted below), which Trump spews out over and over again, IMPLIES THAT YOU (i.e., the audience) may - in fact MUST - have SOMETHING TO HIDE or FEEL GUILTY or SCARED ABOUT,  and/or may (- at least -) be CHARGED CRIMINALS, as TRUMP IS...: 

(WRONG:)

"“I’m being indicted for you. And never forget our enemies want to take away my freedom because I will never let them take away your freedom. That’s what this is all about,” Trump said. “They want to silence me because I will never let them silence you. And in the end they are not after me, they are after you.”"

(Reposted videos:) Trump's ongoing gibberish, mistakes, gaffes, forgetting, etc. Q.: Why does he continue to get a pass on such garbage..? A.: In part because his followers aren't really listening. Many are there for the "show", for the act, and in some cases for the collective hate-fest

(Federal appeals court ruling excerpt:) "We cannot accept that the office of the Presidency places its former occupants above the law for all time thereafter. Careful evaluation of these concerns leads us to conclude that there is no functional justification for immunizing former Presidents from federal prosecution in general or for immunizing former President Trump from the specific charges in the Indictment."

2/6/24 source (link): "Court rules Trump does not have immunity from 2020 election subversion prosecution"

Also: https://www.cnn.com/2024/02/06/politics/takeaways-donald-trump-immunity-appeals-court/index.html


A couple of additional excerpts: 

"We cannot accept former President Trump’s claim that a President has unbounded authority to commit crimes that would neutralize the most fundamental check on executive power — the recognition and implementation of election results. Nor can we sanction his apparent contention that the Executive has carte blanche to violate the rights of individual citizens to vote and to have their votes count.

And, 

"“Former President Trump lacked any lawful discretionary authority to defy federal criminal law and he is answerable in court for his conduct,” the panel of judges wrote."

The Biden economy: Record stock market highs, consistently low unemployment, diminishing post-pandemic inflation. Still have complaints? ..Maybe it could be YOU

 (Commentary, including reposted material. Temporarily posted.)

↓A few recent article links, etc.:

"Biden goes into 2024 with the economy getting stronger, but voters feel horrible about it"

Excerpt:

"By many measures, the U.S. economy is rock solid. Friday’s employment report showed that employers added 199,000 jobs in November and the unemployment rate dropped to 3.7%. Inflation has plummeted in little over a year from a troubling 9.1% to 3.2% without causing a recession — a phenomenon that some once skeptical economists have dubbed “immaculate.”"

 

"Trump Says Biden Plunging U.S. Into Depression. The Stock Market Hit a Record High"


"Biden jabs at Trump for predicting stock market would collapse during Democrat’s time in office"

(Copy, no affilation:)


Biden campaign says jobs report shows he is ‘cleaning up the economic disaster’ Trump left

Excerpt:

"“Joe Biden has now created more jobs in less than three years than any president created in four, cleaning up the economic disaster [Trump] left behind,” Biden-Harris 2024 spokesperson Seth Schuster said in a statement.

“There’s more work to be done, but his record shows Americans can’t trust Trump to do it. Instead of standing up to corporate greed to lower costs and raise wages for working people, Trump would double down on the same failed policies that gave massive tax cuts to the rich and big corporations..."


Excerpt:

"Joe Biden’s upbeat forecasts for the US economy have been validated by the Federal Reserve’s signal that it will consider interest rate cuts next year, delivering respite to American households through lower borrowing costs after two years of high inflation."

(Brief book excerpts:) “[Donald] Trump has told us that he thinks the Constitution can and should be suspended when necessary, that what happened on Jan. 6 was justified, that in a second Trump presidency he would seek retribution,” [Former U.S. Rep.Liz] Cheney writes. “The assumption that our institutions will protect themselves is purely wishful thinking by people who prefer to look the other way.” “We have also now learned that most Republicans currently in Congress will do what Donald Trump asks, no matter what it is,” Cheney writes. “I am very sad to say that America can no longer count on a body of elected Republicans to protect our republic.” “Every one of us – Republican, Democrat, Independent – must work and vote *together* to ensure that Donald Trump and those who have appeased, enabled, and collaborated with him are defeated.”
