I don’t have any Russian blood and I haven’t lived under an authoritarian regime until recently :-) but this seems more than plausible to me. Plus, Trump has done it before. He can disarm opponents by tying them up in court and costing them in legal fees. Look at how Paramount caved.
You're ASSuming I don't understand the risk in talking against a dictator. However, I feel strongly enough about losing our democracy that I can't do anything else to try to get others to understand how bad this is. How about you?
Don't listen to her. That's literally the loser's talk - it's okay, it's not too bad, nothing is happening. And YET is IS happening, very slowly. THAT IS THEIR strategy - to make you asleep and lose track. Salami tactic.
I am as concerned as you are. But I feel strongly that balanced assessment of any political or social situations is more effective than crying woolf. After some time people stop listening...
Sorry, but I refuse to do the bothsides game, no matter how strong you feel about doing so. Too many are doing that out of fear, which doesn't help our country. We need to call this out for what it is EVERY SINGLE TIME WE SEE IT.
How many well-known people and opponents has he tried to silence or indicted just because they called him out? Strong proof he's a dictator. Just lock them up and take their jobs to silence them. If you keep denying he's already a dictator, you will speed up his hold.
Cheeto will be historically revered in 50yr as a national Russian hero says former head of the Kazakhstan’s National Security Committee since he has single handedly turned the US into a Russian colony Mussayev has written extensively about the recruitment of Cheeto in the 1980’s as an enthusiastic asset because he got lots of Russian unsecured loans when he was underwater with Deutsche Bank Now he’s labeled as “strategic resource”
Russians got him elected in 2016 and with the help of Theil and Musk got him reelected in 2024 In the 2024 election Cheeto flipped 88 counties but won less than 50% of the national popular vote and Harris flipped 0 Even in 1984 Reagan won 49 states with 58% of the popular vote Mondale still flipped some red counties From numerous other reports(statistical analysis, vigilante challenges etc) it’s clear the Cheeto rigged the 2024 election
It’s also clear that the reason Nazis and Cheeto are unconcerned about the midterms is that they know they will be able to rig those elections as well So they are on the path of “we can do whatever the hell we damn please and no matter how many protesters are on the street, it won’t make any difference. we will win ”
So this is the challenge folks WE the People either show up and rally our friends, neighbors, relatives, and family to begin our vigilant plan to massively overwhelm the Theil Musk operation and overcome the Nazi election subversion effort
Now you sound like the MAGA nutjobs who think 2020 was rigged for Biden. It's not possible to rig a national election. All elections in the US are conducted at the state and county level -- even presidential elections -- by honest people, I might add. If you have proof of election-rigging, then make it public. Don't go around spreading nonsense like the MAGA kooks. It doesn't help solve the problem we're in.
Look again....never mentioned 2020 election nor did I say it was rigged But yes it is possible to rig a national election Here’s a list of what we know so far
Rockland County Board of Elections vs SMART Legislation to be heard Sept 2025
Problem with the Atlantic article is that there is a heavy focus on the Zarnowski information but from the above cited material it doesn't really cover the entire universe of election subversion information It does cover the ETA but dismisses the evidence because there is no one to step forward to say that there is someone testifying that election subversion occurred
Circumstantial evidence be damned
And no mention with the Palast material And no mention of the voting machine fiasco from the above cited material
However, he exercises executive power with no consideration for constitutional limitations or the rule of law. Nor duty to persevere snd uphold it. Congress rubber stamps his legislative whims and desires. The Supreme Court says that, because he is President, criminal law doesn’t apply to him.
The scariest part is that Trump is applauded by the large percentage of American people, apparently they are ready for someone to " sort out" all that liberal mess.
I really think this DOJ suit against Comey and Brennan is really a ploy to take pressure off the AG for her erroneous statement about having definitive info on the Epstein situation. I'm sure that blunder was spoken of by Mr. Trump!!
The difference is that trump has actually committed crimes. Thirty-four felony counts, one adjudicated sexual attack, and numerous ones he escaped trial for.
If you truly believe that Trump is the only high level politician that committed crimes, and that 34 felony counts are not politically motivated, you and me live in a different realities.
You know how Trump paid for those court trials? PACs set up for his defense, directly or indirectly. One doubts that Comey or Brennan will pay their legal defense costs thru pacs.
This is very true and very important. They can use multiple ways to curb opponents - harass the opponent press with lawsuits and outspend them, control courts, buy biggest media, send secret service to spy on them through online (which is illegal, but how do you catch them?). Garry should write a book on Poo-Tin's slow capture of the all the branches of government and finally all the country.
This is a tried and true tactic that has been effectively utilised over time in Goliath vs David battles especially in the corporate sphere - ref. Big tobacco, the asbestos industry and ground water polluters the world over. Unfortunately, as a tactic, it works. Justice in this world is supposed to be both quick and cheap but unfortunately it is neither
The government must be required by law to repay legal expenses in full if the lawsuit is dismissed as frivolous and if it loses both in civil and private lawsuits and Congress must put equal pressure through tightening the leash on money for such frivolous lawsuits. This will prevent Trump from treating the federal government like his personal fiefdom--a curse this country should not bear, for Trump's bankruptcy records dont make the future of the country under him look good

"Trump isn’t a dictator of course". Come on, Charlie, of course he is.
I get where you're coming from here, although I'm not 100% in agreement. I replied to your comment in my latest post: https://www.thenextmove.org/p/heres-why-i-dont-call-trump-a-dictator
The piece was written by Gary Kasparov, not Charllie
Thanks, I didn't realize that but my statement still stands, but to Gary.
If trump was a dictator you would not be writing this comment, nor the Kasparov post would be published!
Just give it a little time Anna. Give it a little time.
You're ASSuming I don't understand the risk in talking against a dictator. However, I feel strongly enough about losing our democracy that I can't do anything else to try to get others to understand how bad this is. How about you?

Very FAST, actually. He's only been in office for 8 months.

Oh yes I would. Just because you wouldn't, don't assume the same for others.
If Trump was a dictator, "he would never let this happen"...

Yeah right. And the voter suppression, polling station bomb threats, lost ballots, what is that then if not fraud?

Garry, I'm reasonably confident that Trump is being coached by someone.
... by someone who closely studied the rise of Putin!
Of course he is being coached.
“He who saves his country violates no law” was not cooked up by trump. That’s high faluttin’ talk. Reeks of Steven Miller.
Agree, and I also have real doubts about the nature of the Putin/Russian connection with Trump (and perhaps Miller).
Being Donald Trump's coach must be the most frustrating job in the world!
"Trump isn’t a dictator of course,..."
Not QUITE, as of this moment. But he's so close, the distinction almost makes no difference.
He is a clown figure to hide true masters.
Read Matt Taibbi’s piece at Racket. Brennan and Comey created the entire Russia Collusion Hoax and lied under oath denying it. They belong in jail.
Matt Taibbi is someone I used to like but have decided he’s become a nutcase.
You have got to be kidding!
This is absolutely chilling. Could this be why no republicans in Congress stand up? They all know the consequences to come.
“Trump isn’t a dictator.”
However, he exercises executive power with no consideration for constitutional limitations or the rule of law. Nor duty to persevere snd uphold it. Congress rubber stamps his legislative whims and desires. The Supreme Court says that, because he is President, criminal law doesn’t apply to him.
Donald Trump is Americas first dictator.
Let’s stop term softening.
The scariest part is that Trump is applauded by the large percentage of American people, apparently they are ready for someone to " sort out" all that liberal mess.
I really think this DOJ suit against Comey and Brennan is really a ploy to take pressure off the AG for her erroneous statement about having definitive info on the Epstein situation. I'm sure that blunder was spoken of by Mr. Trump!!

The difference is that trump has actually committed crimes. Thirty-four felony counts, one adjudicated sexual attack, and numerous ones he escaped trial for.
If you truly believe that Trump is the only high level politician that committed crimes, and that 34 felony counts are not politically motivated, you and me live in a different realities.
I don’t believe that tRump is the only high-level politician who's committed crimes. Why would you even suggest that?
