Trump boasting he can destroy what he wants in Iran: "They can't do a thing about it. It's like, 'Take me.'"

Trump: "If I want to take down that power plant, that very big powerful power plant, they can't do a thing about it. It's like, 'take me.' That's all they can do."

I particularly agreed with this reply on Bluesky:

How can anyone hear this and not get that this is exactly how a rapist speaks of women or a pedophile speaks of children, and not know exactly who he is.

... but, as bad as he is, it's the lower life forms that still support him that will really need watching once he's taken down, which can't happen soon enough, if America is to survive.

It's exactly what he said he wanted.

It's not like he is jumping obstacles on his way to dictatorship.

Cronies are blasting holes in the obstacles for him.

He couldn't punch his way through a wet paper bag.

Without "a little help from his fiends"

Will his zombie army hold to their former sacred beliefs?







What changed?




Oh.

Sadly, however, it is we who will pay the price of your rapist fantasies.

Besides the obvious reasons, but because it will give him free reign to enact restrictions on what's left of our freedom.
He'll just blame it on Biden for inviting terrorists into the country so they can vote and blow up shopping malls. Meanwhile, he'll be seen as a savior of the Great American Way.

Doubt it? Remember what GW did after 9/11?
NSA surveillance, Taking off shoes for TSA, and a new branch called Homeland Security. Trump will try to leverage an attack into absolute rule. Sometimes I wonder if that was the plan all along.
