QOTD -- Revenge Is On The Ballot

 

"Donald Trump is a long, long way from winning the GOP primary, let alone retaking the White House. But he always has revenge on his mind, and his allies are preparing to use a future administration to not only undo all of Special Counsel Jack Smith’s work — but to take vengeance on Smith, and on virtually everyone else, who dared investigate Trump during his time out of power.

Rosters full of MAGAfied lawyers are being assembled. Plans are being laid for an entire new office of the Justice Department dedicated to 'election integrity.' An assembly line is being prepared of revenge-focused 'special counsels' and 'special prosecutors.' Gameplans for making Smith’s life hell, starting in Jan. 2025, have already been discussed with Trump himself. And a fresh wave of pardons is under consideration for Trump associates, election deniers, and — the former president boasts — for Jan. 6 rioters..." --Asawin Suebsaeng and Adam Rawnsley in Rolling Stone, leading off an alarming article revealing the fascistic revenge plans being cooked up in MAGA cult world should the Malignant Loser return to the White House.  It gives the Republicans' gaslighting term "weaponization of government" new meaning, and is another example of how far beyond the bounds of normal behavior the cult is willing to venture.  Yet another fascist red flag among a field of them for the electorate to consider.

BONUS:  The mob boss issues his threat today: "IF YOU GO AFTER ME, I’M COMING AFTER YOU!"
