A lot of those threats, particularly those involving the armed forces, would be impossible under the constitution. Yet others would be subject to various legal constraints. Trump is banking on the fact that his dumb supporters do not understand such details, and are just happy to follow a "tough guy" who promises retribution on their enemies. A bluff, in many ways...

It's only impossible under the constitution if the constitution is followed.

That's the thing. This time around Trump and his inner circle will be careful to put people into important positions who are loyal to Trump and who are willing to bow to his desire to 'terminate' elements of the US Constitution that would otherwise check his power. The US Supreme Court has already ruled that he has complete immunity when it comes to his actions as president.

'Does the Constitution even apply to Donald Trump? If he wins, probably not'

Donald J. Trump infamously called for the termination of the Constitution when he was seeking to be declared the “RIGHTFUL WINNER” of the 2020 election in December of that year.

“A Massive Fraud of this type and magnitude allows for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution,” he wrote on Truth Social.

If Trump wins the election next month, that wouldn’t even be necessary, because the six Republican-appointed members of the Supreme Court did that for him on July 1 of this year when they decided his petition seeking immunity from prosecution in his favor in Trump v. United States.

Legal experts writing on that blasphemous decision have concentrated on the court’s distinction between a president’s “official” and “unofficial” acts. When the court found that “the President may not be prosecuted for exercising his core constitutional powers, and he is entitled to at least presumptive immunity from prosecution for his official acts,” it also found that “the president enjoys no immunity for his unofficial acts.”

...

There is one gigantic omission in the Supreme Court’s reasoning in Trump v. United States. They somehow forgot the implications of their decision found in the fourth clause of Article II, Section 3, which states that the president “shall take care that the laws be faithfully executed.” That is, if a president’s official acts are immune from prosecution and oversight by the Congress, which the court's decision also makes clear, then a president is a law unto himself. How can a man who has been given the power, in effect, to unilaterally make law also make sure that he “takes care” that any such laws are “faithfully executed,” since he is the one executing them?

...

Chief Justice Roberts is the author of one of the most ignorant, upside-down and despicable lines in any Supreme Court decision since Dred Scott. He wrote in his Shelby County decision, which eviscerated the Voting Rights Act, that “the way to stop discrimination on the basis of race is to stop discriminating on the basis of race.” Now he has outdone himself. In Trump v. United States, he wrote, “The President is not above the law.”

He may as well have added, “but Donald Trump is,” because that was the real-world effect of his decision. Donald Trump, who wanted the Constitution “terminated,” has achieved his ends, because if he is elected next month, the Constitution will not apply to him.

Clever to associate the dumpf and Epstein

Donald Trump groped me in what felt like a ‘twisted game’ with Jeffrey Epstein, former model alleges
Stacey Williams says the ex-president, whose spokesperson denied the allegations, touched her in an unwanted sexual way in 1993, after Epstein introduced them

Sounds like real, but:
Wait, for real? And lordy, there's tape??

Via Angry Staffer:

Oh shit.

If this is true, that could be what all the GOP has been doing preemptive damage control for.

Dem strategist Keith Edwards:

BREAKING: I have been told that #Trump groped a minor at one of his donor dinners — and that there's video.

If there was a video it would have been leaked already.

If elected he'd be the commander in chief of the armed services, with a lot of leeway in the use of his discretionary powers to direct US forces at home and abroad.

Mitch leaving. But he got his 6-3 court, conservative

[Brian Peacock]

Is that from The Onion?

[Tero]

No. Mitch is serving to 2027.

McConnell said he plans to serve out his Senate term, which ends in January 2027, “albeit from a different seat in the chamber.”

Tucker Carlson warming-up at Trump's Duluth rally...

... Rather than ignoring Trump, as he was once so excited to do, however, Carlson – who was booted from Fox News last year – seems to have become a confidant of the ex-president and is now making disturbing speeches on his behalf. During the rally Carlson, who has three adult daughters, compared the US under Trump to a naughty girl being disciplined by her father. “If you allow your hormone-addled 15-year-old daughter to slam the door and give you the finger, you’re going to get more of it,” Carlson said. “There has to be a point at which Dad comes home.” At this point the crowd erupted into raucous cheers.

“Dad comes home and he’s pissed,” Carlson continues. “He’s not vengeful, he loves his children. Disobedient as they may be, he loves them … And when Dad gets home, you know what he says? You’ve been a bad girl. You’ve been a bad little girl and you’re getting a vigorous spanking right now. And no, it’s not going to hurt me more than it hurts you. No, it’s not. I’m not going to lie. It’s going to hurt you a lot more than it hurts me. And you earned this. You’re getting a vigorous spanking because you’ve been a bad girl, and it has to be this way.” ...
