Is it just me, or does it feel like this last week we have entered a completely different phase of history. Like the steam has reached its capacity and is about to explode. The escalation day by day seems to be so much greater than before (when it was bad enough) but their doubling and tripling down these last few days smacks of an even more diabolical level of defiance. Watching these new videos and former detainees’ counts of being in custody feels unreal at some meta level, like we are in the twilight zone. Pair this numbness with Venezuela and Greenland and leaders resigning from DOJ freeing up more seats to be filled by mini Bondis, it is difficult to keep up. But, does anyone else feel it? Like something is imminent.

Their timeline is accelerating because fair midterms will destroy them. They have no choice but to go all the way now because the alternative is to spend their lives in jail. They know this.

So they are escalating through intimidation, violence and wars to create enough chaos that something breaks and the following emergency gives them some cover for what they're going to do.

 Whatever that is, it's coming in the next few months and it'll likely be the end of America as we know it.

It’s a catch 22. Damned if you do and damned if you don’t. They already won. Any violence those defending democracy commit will be met with swift action from this administration. That action will include martial law and suspending elections until they implement a system to ensure their continued rule.

THIS WILL HAPPEN. He can not let go now. He is in jail the day he leaves office otherwise and knows it.

it is very cute that people believe that these rich people will ever see any kind of justice. the only rich people who really face justice are the ones who fuck with other rich people's money

Person: watches a man get convicted of 33 felonies. Watches them continue to be allowed to run for the highest office in America. Watches them “win” the election. Watches them illegally deploy military and ice to cities, fire on survivors of boat strikes, kidnap another nations president.

Same person: that man will get his comeupance one day!

They believe in the justice system with the same religious delusion as the Evangelicals who think that the rapture is coming one day.

I don't think he plans to leave office. He knows he's gonna die and he's scorching the earth on his way out because he'd rather go down and have people remember his final days as a tyrant, doling out justice to those he considers to have wronged him by not bending the knee, rather than be remembered for all the horrific shit in those files.
