I could see Trump staging something so he can declare Martial Law and start as Dictator on any day ending in Y.

America is now a “shit-hole” country. We have a criminal, dictator-wannabe, addled president. A draft-dodger as commander-in-chief. A clown show legislature. A corrupt, biased Supreme Court. The corrupt rich & big business bought the election for their enrichment. Fanatics from every faction dictating policy. Flakes & wackos staffing the administration. A gullible, ignorant citizenry. America is now a comedy morphing into a tragedy.

A new concept I just learned about – #MassPsychosis

I think we are in the thick of it. Between disinformation and the Internet and the lack of accountability, it’s feeling pretty overwhelming.

Keep in mind his fascination w with that story he repeated re the snake—aka the biblical Serpent. We knew he was dangerous, but sufficient stupids voted him in OR things were manipulated AGAIN, but without Kamala’s challenge—why not?—that avenue of reversal went Poof! So, now we are stuck with him until something egregious enough for yet Anotherrrr impeachment sideshow.

Now, Rudy’s off the hook, too! How t’hell do contempt charges continue to be dropped?

Do you Remember that saying about “equal justice under the law?” Can’t call it a precept anymore! (((((((((

Russia has been prepping the 'Ukrainian involvement in plots to assassinate Donald Trump' narratives for a while. A recent example is an article published by the Russian-operated, 'Foundation to Battle Injustice's website from last month 12/24. This archive of the article should probably be opened in a private window, perhaps with a VPN, or in the alternative using DuckDuckGo for the browser.

Yeah! I saw that last month and have been monitoring it. It definitely wasn’t for domestic consumption and they haven’t disseminated it yet in Russian or far right channels.

Making excuses for declaring martial law, maybe. They desperately want to kill Americans.

Also possible that a staged hostile event would be orchestrated by MAGA/Trump to provide a rationale for Martial law

The Matryoshka campaign published a fake video on X 1/15/25, of the FBI arresting an LGBTQ+ terrorist cell that was plotting an attack on the Trump inauguration. Of course, the false Russian narrative in the video claims two Ukrainian refugees were providing expertise and the chemical agents for the attack to the LGBQT+ terror cell.

I think it's that they want the inauguration at Mara Lago and then he can just exec order that Mara Lago is now the new White House
