Ever notice how Putin killed off his opponents? How dictators “neutralize” their opposition?
I figured that the commenters would all be pro-MAGA instead the comments are most anti-Trump.
Republican base sounds ready for Trump's promised 'retribution,' with some exceptionsHmm… maybe Trump didn’t see these headlines,"I would like to see him actually drain the swamp," one supporter at CPAC said.

February 25, 2024Former President Donald Trump vowed at last year's Conservative Political Action Conference to be his supporters' "retribution" -- and many attendees this year seemed eager to see what that looks like if he is reelected to the White House.
When more than a dozen attendees were asked by ABC News what they'd like to see in a potential Trump term, many organically said they wanted some version of mass firings in the federal government and payback against President Joe Biden, with many also saying Trump's detractors within the GOP should be politically exiled.
[…]
The former president in June wrote on his social media platform that he would "appoint a real special 'prosecutor' to go after" Biden and his family, whom he called "corrupt," as well as "all others involved with the destruction of our elections, borders, & country itself!"
Biden impeachment effort on the brink of collapseOr maybe he did but that hasn’t stopped the revengeful Trump.
A wide swath of House Republicans are acknowledging they likely won’t have the votes, especially given their struggle to recommend booting Alejandro Mayorkas.

The House GOP’s push to impeach Joe Biden appears close to stalling out for good.
First, the impeachment of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas scraped through on the narrowest of margins — and took two tries, raising serious doubts about Republicans’ appetite for an even bigger impeachment fight. Then, a high-profile informant making bribery allegations against the Biden family was not only indicted, but has now linked some of his information to Russian intelligence.
[…]
Bacon estimated that as many as 30 House GOP lawmakers may be currently opposed to impeaching the president because they haven’t seen evidence of any crime. Private briefings to update members on the investigation haven’t swayed those holdouts, and Republicans know it only gets politically riskier to try to impeach Biden as they head deeper into an election year — possibly giving the president a polling boost even if they succeed.
ABC News goes on to write,
And his cult followers just ate it up!
Where have we seen purges before? Oh, Oh, I remember! Lets see there was Stalin’s Soviet Union, Castro’s Communist Cuba, China under Xi, North Korea under Kim, Trump will fit right in with the other dictators.
Need I say more?
Still, Trump also warned on Saturday that the day after the general election -- if he wins -- "will be our new liberation day" but for his and his supporters' enemies, "it will be their judgment day."
But the CPAC crowd's appetite for revenge didn't stop with just Biden -- many said there is no longer a place in the party for some of the candidates who ran against Trump for the 2024 GOP presidential nomination.
Mike Lindell, the MyPillow chief and prominent election denier, received a rock star's welcome when he took the stage Saturday before bashing "uniparty Republicans" for not supporting his baseless claims of election fraud and pushing his effort to recall Wisconsin state House Speaker Robin Vos, a Republican.
How to put this, Trump hates the mainstream media.
Joe Biden gives the media a desperately needed lesson about Donald Trump
The president has to break the news to journalists that Trump plans to jail us

February 24, 2024The most disturbing thing I’ve ever heard a president say did not come from Donald Trump.
It came from Joe Biden. Speaking with reporters in California on Thursday, the president said this about Donald Trump. “Two of your former colleagues not at the same network personally told me if he wins, they will have to leave the country because he’s threatened to put them in jail,” Biden told Katie Couric. “He embraces political violence,” Biden said of Trump “No president since the Civil War has done that. Embrace it. Encourages it.”

My experience tells me that Donald Trump means exactly what he says, and there are plenty of politicians who would do the same if they had the chance. Worse, in covering the Hamas war, a record number of reporters have been murdered in an attempt to silence those of us who risk it all to inform others. Those in power do not want us to inform everyone else about what is going on. To do so would be to risk losing control over the masses.
How long shall we tolerate politicians who are so hungry for power that they will risk destroying us all to get it?
I found this article on Yahoo News what surprised me was the comments...
I strongly urge him to read the Constitution and its amendments, especially the part about freedom of religion. You cannot have freedom of religion if you are governed by someone else's religion.

These are "very dark days" for our nation. The GOP and its leaders are systemically trying to dismantle our government and replace it with their version of a "theocratic dictatorship" that will make all others pale in comparison. This is the "Great America" they envision. "We, the People" of our great nation, must step up at the ballot box and reject everyone running on a GOP platform. This must be done at all levels of our government, including local, state, and national. We need both liberal and conservative representation, but not when one side demands that it is "their way or no way." They will not stop until we stop them by voting them out or until our streets are filled with terror.
Like little puppy dogs vying for their master’s attention.
CNNBy Steve Contorno, Aaron Pellish and Alison MainFebruary 24, 2024[…]The jockeying to become Trump’s vice presidential pick, playing out behind the scenes for weeks if not longer, spilled into the open at this week’s CPAC, the country’s annual gathering of conservatives. In what amounted to an audition to be Trump’s No. 2, the program inside the Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center at times appeared more like a casting call for some of the most talked-about contenders for the job.In addition to Stefanik, Donalds, Gabbard and Noem, entrepreneur and recent presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance, former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson and Arizona Senate candidate Kari Lake all addressed the Trump-adoring crowd.[…]Leaning into the political drama, CPAC organizers asked attendees to vote for who they want to see Trump pick as his running mate. Noem and Ramaswamy topped the poll in results announced Saturday, receiving 15% support each.
Naw… Trump’s choice for vice president will be the woman who has the shortest dress and the biggest b**bs.
