I don't know that there's a plan of any kind. He's just accustomed to dodging trouble. He likely has confidence that he will work his same voodoo on all of these problems. He thinks he deserves absolute immunity right now. He likely fully believes he will be in the White House again where he will certainly claim that.

But plan? I don't hear a great strategist when I listen to Trump's rambling from the podium. I don't even get a sense of a particularly keen sense of reality. Just a shameless blowfish using deception to intimidate and fleece.

Like @RomaVicta said, he has no plan, outside of maybe playing with RNC finances now that he controls it.  That was a genius move, because it gives him access to actual cash.

I don’t think y’all are paying attention. His plan is to become Putin. Get “elected” forever, steal money from the economy, pure power for power’s sake because he thinks he can/deserves it/whatever.

And we’re probably about to let him.

These. That’s the plan. He’s not a complex thinker. His plan is to be elected president again. But this time, not make the mistake of accepting limitations on his power - in reality, he is a king. An absolute monarch, with absolute power. And not just any power, the power of God himself (see “the divine right of kings”).
And that’s exactly what a combination of 1) his rabid base and 2) most of the spineless GQP elected officials nationwide are working towards.
Stop attributing any complex thought to him. It’s as simple as “seize all power, so I can do whatever I want that pleases me.”
And we’re about to say “sure, let’s give that a try, what could go wrong? I mean, we have to try it, because Biden is old and socialism and stuff.”

I have a lot of bad things to say about America. It was built on genocide and slavery. It has never not been racist, beginning with the 3/5th compromise, continuing through the Civil War, through the Chinese Exclusion Act, through Japenese internment camps, through Jim Crow, through the assassination of MLK and other civil rights leaders, through the Southern Strategy and "state's rights," through the Islamophobic "war on terror," through the Birther movement, into the election of Donald Trump and his Muslim Ban, family separations, Remain in Mexico, and the Great Replacement theory.

Our cherished institutions are bullshit. The Supreme Court is and always has been a tool for political operatives to achieve what they could never achieve through a popular vote. Congress is broken seemingly by design. The Electoral College did not make sense at the time of the founding and makes even less sense today.

Meritocracy is a myth. The idea that a person's accumulation of wealth corresponds to their contributions to society is a joke. American exceptionalism is unsubstantiated propaganda. And don't get me started on all of our unwarranted interference with the affairs of other countries.

That is my take on America, and although I'm incredibly jaded about America and disinclined to believe anything positive about it, one of the few attributes about America that I can't deny is that for better or for worse (usually for worse) the people are very attached to individualism and the principles of limited power. Moreso than the Russian people. Sure, we haven't been tested much in that respect since FDR, but I just don't see an overwhelmingly Millennial and Gen Z workforce going along with an autocracy.

They don’t have a fucking say. The older voters will impose an autocracy on them, and that’s the point of autocracy, there’s not a fucking thing they can do about it once it’s in place.

Older voters won't be enough of a factor in 4 years, and I'm specifically talking about efforts to keep power through antidemocratic means. They won't only have to contend with Capitol Police. Even if they were to succeed on Jan 6, they won't be able to hold onto power on Jan 7 or later unless enough of the workforce goes along with their plan.

See…this is the thing people don’t get. Once the authoritarian takes power, it doesn’t matter if the masses go along with it later or not. The authoritarian regime can use brutal force to keep the disgruntled “work force” in line. And it will. That’s how these things go.

And yet, we're still doing pretty good. We're still allowed (in most states) to point out these flaws. We still have the power (outside of GOP-controlled areas) to make things better. I was ambivalent at best about moving out to California back in the day; I'm feeling really great about it now.

We're not conditioned to accept that in the same way the Russians are. That was my whole point.

That's highly subjective. I can appreciate the progress that has been made, but it doesn't even scratch the surface of atonement for genocide, slavery, and the wholesale theft of assets from Japanese, German, Italians, and other people. The fact Donald Trump has been president and could be president again is another indictment of the conscience of the American people. There's a lot of work to be done, and it's not happening fast enough.

My point was simply that we shouldn't extrapolate anything from how Russia responded to an autocratic takeover. Even though we are shitty, we are very different from them.

In between (and during that revolution) you spill untold gallons of blood and set the country back decades….if you’re lucky enough to throw off the fascist internally. Check up on how well “throwing off the fascist yoke” worked for Germany and Italy, for example.

I'm guessing this is like a corporate bond issue on small scale, where there are bond underwriting counsel.  And, because there is an unusually high risk of default (ie the bond being seized in whole or in part after the appeal), a good bit of that is enforcing the security/collateral obligations the bond provides.

Probably what Twice says but the name of the law firm (Akerman) immediately jumped out at me. At first, I assumed it was talking about The Ackerman, who is a HUGE partner with Chubb. Ackerman is basically their crisis management firm who handles investigations, deep, deep, deep background checks, high risk security situations (guarding against K&R and other shit like that). Then I realized that there's also a law firm that is spelled a little differently so who knows?

I don't understand what is even going on anymore. He's supposedly being held accountable for the defamement but now he can just continue to do it? At what point does this just become something that he simply cannot do anymore? Do the punishments get worse for each subsequent case?
