Steve Schmidt: The comeuppance is going to be brutal
Link: https://steveschmidt.substack.com/p/the-comeuppance-is-going-to-be-brutal
The Trump regime is a danger to humanity, and an affront to American values. It is a menace to liberty, a threat to freedom, the rule of law, public safety, the American economy, family security, American alliances and simple decency.
What it is and stands for needs no more deciphering, strained wonderment from credulous corporate media scribers in Washington, DC, or any interpretation from paid liars like Scott Jennings, or any reverse engineering necessary from one of Maggie Haberman’s anonymous sources saying, “No, it’s not like that. Trump doesn’t really mean it. Don’t worry about it. We got it.”
They haven’t, they didn’t, and they won’t.

Here is JD Vance’s Hitler-like absurdism, accusing Denmark of somehow failing to protect Greenlanders, which must now be liberated by America:

It is obscene. In fact, it is sick. The one thing that we know for sure is that, should it come to pass that young Americans are killed trying to fulfill one of Trump’s delusions or fantasies, the men and women who order his or her death won’t give a shit about it.
Steve Schmidt concludes today's "The Warning" by saying that "A small cabal of politicians have taken power in America, and badly overreached. The comeuppance is going to be brutal."
Please read the rest on "The Warning with Steve Schmidt."

(2,886 posts)If someone was going to do the obvious thing to create a gigantic speed bump to their whole regime, I believe they would have done it by now. Trump appears to be ill, but if he dies of natural causes it won’t make a bit of difference to what they are doing (although Lindsey will probably be able to breathe for the first time in years, his kompromat gone with donny), they barely acknowledge his existence now. This will just get worse with every day for a very long time before it fails. IMO.

If only Schmidt had put his considerable skills to bear in the side of good from the start...

(2,128 posts)If you let (facilitate) Trump establish the dictatorship he desires, your services will no longer be needed.
In other words, you will be powerless, and YOU will be disposable.
Note to voters: Replace "R" politicians ASAP.
