QOTD: If He Wins...




Heather Digby Parton, writing this morning in Salon.com about the main promise the Malignant Loser is sure to keep if we let him back into the Oval Office.

"'I love getting even when I get screwed by someone,' Trump famously wrote in his book 'Think Big':

'Always get even. When you are in business you need to get even with people who screw you. You need to screw them back 15 times harder. You do it not only to get the person who messed with you but also to show the others who are watching what will happen to them if they mess with you. If someone attacks you, do not hesitate. Go for the jugular.' [snip]

If he loses, Trump will once again try to rile up his disappointed followers and who knows what will happen then. But he's not president anymore and it's unclear how that will help him do anything but salve his ego.

If he wins all bets are off.

He may or may not follow through on his inane tariffs or impractical mass deportation, but he damn sure believes in vengeance and there is no doubt he will follow through with that if he happens to eke out another win, especially now that he's been granted immunity by his friends on the Supreme Court. Nothing matters more to him than getting even. He means it." (our emphasis)

This twice-impeached, convicted felon, adjudicated rapist, business failure and life long con man has a lot of vengeance to deal with in his sick mind. Given the tools of a MAGA cult Congress and a supportive, Republican- majority Supreme Court, he'll spend his time in office devising and implementing retribution against his opponents for enforcing the law and merely opposing him politically. He's a mortal threat to our democracy and the rule of law, and he and his cult members running for office need to be soundly defeated.
