CNN: Trump unleashes new threat to American democracy!

(CNN)Donald Trump has no remorse about the deadly violence he incited with his lies about a stolen election in his uprising against the US Congress.
This much was clear when the ex-President put the Republican Party on notice on Sunday that he intends to use his hold on its grassroots to try to suppress the vote heading into the presidential election in 2024, in which he hinted he might run. In his first public remarks since leaving the White House, he also dangerously lashed out at Supreme Court justices for failing to intervene to throw him the election he clearly lost to President Joe Biden.
quote:
The embittered former commander in chief, however, was locked in his false but damaging alternative reality, to which millions of his followers subscribe, that he was the victim of a massive election fraud effort.
The last time Trump publicly used the kind of language that he spewed on Sunday was when Congress was certifying Biden's election win and his mob invaded the US Capitol, calling for the execution of then-Vice President Mike Pence, who refused to break the law to keep Trump in power.
quote:
In a further inflammatory move, Trump also called out by name Republican lawmakers who voted to impeach him in the House and convict him in the Senate for his assault on the Constitution, including Reps. Liz Cheney of Wyoming and Adam Kinzinger of Illinois and Sens. Ben Sasse of Nebraska and Mitt Romney of Utah. His singling of them out demonstrates his intention to exact revenge in upcoming primaries and could leave them vulnerable to harassment as they travel around the country.
quote:
Trump got his biggest cheer when he refreshed the lie that he won in November, then embarked on multiple flagrantly false claims of fraud. His fury put down a marker that any Republican who wants his endorsement and to prosper with the party's base must now support his dangerous lies about the last election being stolen.
"I may even decide to beat them for a third time," said the one-term former President who never won the popular vote and failed to crack 50% in presidential approval polls while in office. Several times, Trump implied to his delighted crowd that he could end up back in the Oval Office.
"With your help, we will take back the House. We will win the Senate. And then a Republican president will make a triumphant return to the White House," Trump said.
"And I wonder who that will be."
Trump's unhinged conduct and attacks on his successor so soon after leaving office represented a historical aberration. Yet such is the blowtorch that Trump trained at the traditions of the presidency that they came as no surprise. In fact, a show of restraint would have been more notable from an ex-President who often put personal grievances above the national interest.

Holy hell that is one insane rant that can only be the embodiment of years of pent up envy and hate. I actually feel bad for them in a way.

The left is just plain obsessed with the word “Democracy” lately.

I am more of a DeSantis lean myself, but the return of Orange Man melts would be glorious and so worth it.

My God, they really believe that, despite the evidence. Yes, the election was stolen, they have video tape, pictures, etc. I understand why they keep repeating the lie, to keep the truth in the relative dark.
Besides, who really believes CNN anyway

When I got up this morning I told the wife: 'I predict the headline on Yahoo will be 'Fact Checkers say Trump Lied.'
I was a tad off. It was:
'Trump Recycles Campaign Lies'
These people are so predictable.

A delusional word salad of adjectives.
Anyone who takes CNN seriously is a complete braindead loser.
