Taibbi makes some good points.

Also, in every one of the plots against President Trump over the past eight years, you will find Mary McCord somewhere in the middle of it.

We are still filled with Commies, pinkos, marxists, socialists, RINO’s and scumbags throughout our government. Unelected and elected. All of them, almost to a man, are scum.
So yes, the fix is in. They better make the steal look better this time, or there will be hell to pay.

"The article implied a future Trump presidency will necessitate new forms of external control over the military. It cited Connecticut Senator Richard Blumenthal’s bill to “clarify” the Insurrection Act, a 1792 law that empowers the president to deploy the military to quell domestic rebellion. Blumenthal’s act would add a requirement that Congress or courts ratify presidential decisions to deploy the military at home, seeking essentially to attach a congressional breathalyzer to the presidential steering wheel."

(snip)

"She then quoted Brooks. The Georgetown professor, who in her most recent book about life in the Defense Department described getting “a coveted intelligence community ‘blue badge’” to pass into “the sacred precincts of the CIA,” told Goldberg that in the event of a Trump power grab, “the only thing left is what pro-democracy movements and human rights movements around the world have always done, which is sustained, mass peaceful demonstrations.”

That did sound like a description of the Eastern European color revolutions, which generally involved mass street actions, sustained negative press pressure, and calls by NGOs and outside countries for the disfavored leader to step down. A major reason the “color revolution” theme struck commentators in connection with TIP had to do with the presence in the TIP simulation of Barack Obama’s former chief ethics lawyer, Norm Eisen. Eisen wrote a manual called The Democracy Playbook for the Brookings Institution that is often referred to as the unofficial how-to guide for America-backed regime-change operations abroad."

Given the two elements, it sure sounds like sedition planning is in the works if Trump becomes president. I mentioned during the riots of 2020 that they should have "followed the money" to find out who the organizers were. They'll try it again.

“”We’re already starting to put together a team to think through the most damaging types of things that he [Trump] might do so that we’re ready to bring lawsuits if we have to.””

My goodness! Are those people for real? This is like a parent planning punishment for a child for something he MIGHT have done while mom and dad were out of the house!

Nothing like a little - really a lot of - projection going on!! They can’t point to a single incident of anything Trump DID as PRESIDENT that would fit their scare tactics. I won’t even ask WHY NOW? The answers are simple to our questions - because they are scared to death of another Trump presidency..Too many skeletons in the closet that will fall out when the door is opened in January 2025! “Be afraid - be very afraid!”

Although Taibbi makes some good points he also makes some glairing blunders such as Democracy. Only the morons believe we live in a Democracy because it sounds kinder and gentler when in reality it is nothing but mob rule via 50%+1 person. We need to stop falling for their trap and state the obvious that we live in a Represenetive Republic where not always does the majority win. We all need to thank the founders for this wonderful form of government. While we are at it we need the 17th amendment repealed if we could only convince the morons why the states appointed the senators.

Attention Surrender Monkeys: Be very wary of pieces like this. Taibbi is not your friend. Id really think the election is over the smartest move is to sell what you have and fly off to some distant country.
Until you are ready to do that what you write here is suspicious as well.

“Fears grow that Trump will use the military in ‘dictatorial ways’ if he returns to the White House.”

Nothing like what Biden is threatening to do to the Texas National Guard... /s

Taibbi is a bit thick sometimes.

I began to realize the fix was in for TrumpII before the holidays.

You put him in, Youngkin as VP, maybe we get the trifecta for two years and replace Thomas and who knows, maybe impeach Sotomayor...

Then in 2026 the House and probably the Senate flips back to Dems, setting the stage for VP Youngkin v Gruesome in 2028, the Deep State goal here being 40M migras getting amnesty. Which will require a Democrat trifecta. Well, you ain't getting that in 2024 with Biden, as we're keeping the House and quite possibly taking the Senate, and post-Biden Karamela would not trifecta in 2028, so she gotta go out with closing The White Hospice.

The Deep State is so confucian sometimes...you wonder why they permit a conservative SCOTUS, but SCOTUS isn't going to stand in the way of amnesty, as long as it comes out of Congress signed on the dotted line.

So my suspicions of TrumpII in the bag were confirmed by Davos -- I mean every . single . multi-national . boob . said "TrumpII", and not only TrumpII, but "We're ready for it! The deregulation and the restarting of American energy independence, etc, etc."

The TrumpII talk was so wild that stinking Soros Jr had to say, 'Well, Davos is always wrong about this.' NO they're not, you c---------, the undercurrent at Davos 2016 was that Trump could win in 2016, along with that brilliant LAT poll that tracked / resampled the same group and showed Trump winning indys and thus the battlegrounds. Now you have different polls (the LAT quickly and quietly dismantled that same-sample tracking poll and did not run it again in 2020) in 2024 showing the. exact. same. thing.

They got away with it in ‘20...not a single court in the nation did a damn thing about it. There’s no reason to believe that we won’t see a repeat.

Alleged Texas “conservative”, actually a Dade Phelen butt boy, Cody Harris sent out a flyer promoting Mail In Ballots.
I called his office and they say it’s legal in Texas for 65 and older. That he is pushing it because the Democrats will use it to cheat so we should use it too.
Grrrr.

Taibbi makes some good points.

Funny how just a few liberals are starting to realize that Democrats and never-Trumpers are destroying our democracy right right before our eyes. Matt Taibbi, a left wing writer for the Rolling Stone, litterally HATED Trump. In 2017, he wrote the book "Insane Clown President: Dispatches from the 2016 Circus" about Trump's election campaign in 2016. A year later, he followed with "Insane Clown President: Dispatches from the American Circus" slamming Trump's first year in office. In 2008, he wrote "The Great Derangement: A Terrifying True Story of War, Politics, and Religion at the Twilight of the American Empire" about GW Bush and Republicans in general.

Now he finally sees what is happening? He was part of the mob destroying our country! Welcome to the party, Pal.

Absolutely it is.

Get right with God and make your peace with your Maker.

He can turn things around but also, we all die some day and even if the worst happens to us from this government, you can end up where they can NEVER touch you again.

Eternity is, well, forever. It’s critical to be ready for it while we fight the good fight. Do what we can, leave the results to God, and be right with Him.

In the 80-minute confab, audio of which was obtained by Semafor, a dire warning was issued to anyone considering a third-party run:

Through every channel we have, to their donors, their friends, the press, everyone — everyone — should send the message: If you have one fingernail clipping of a skeleton in your closet, we will find it… If you think you were vetted when you ran for governor, you’re insane. That was nothing. We are going to come at you with every gun we can possibly find. We did not do that with Jill Stein or Gary Johnson, we should have, and we will not make that mistake again.

If they look in the barn, that's bad news for Bobby Jr.
