In Portland, Ore., however, a Trump appointee said no. She refused to play Trump’s game and instead held him accountable for his words. There is no deference due to a president who refuses to operate in good faith.

    People can downvote this all they want, but this is actually true, and maybe you remember Trump’s former-lawyer, Cohen, saying that he likes to do things the way mafia-bosses do, so his saying something like “it would be good if < someone > were to get permanently harmed” … & then have his lackies/flunkies ( don’t know which is which ) just do it, so that he never can be made-accountable for anything…

    Yes, I expect a wave of murders to happen to opponents-of-Trump, within months or weeks…

    The tipping-point is going to be crossed.

    Yes, that kind of “dealing with” opponents is on the table.

    People are too naive about what’s going-on, making-believing that status-quo will continue forever, & they’ve got forever to undo what Project2025’s doing…

    It isn’t about ruling the US of A for a 4-year term, it is about DESTROYING anybody’s ability to interfere with Republican dictatorship, until everbody’s dead.

    Different “game”, different rules.

    As a ninja explained, in the book “Kenjutsu”, IF you’re trained to presume that your opponent will protect their life,

    & they make a cut at you,

    THEN you automatically make a cut at them, knowing that they’re going to divert their cut, to block yours, to save their life.

    BUT … if they don’t care if they die, then … they don’t divert their cut, to block: then you die, right then ( they do too, but they took you out, because you were relying-on leverage that you didn’t actually have )

    Countries make the same mistake.

    The US is making that mistake, now.

    Fatally.
