Will it be worse for America if Trump wins or if Trump loses?

Will there be more violence if he loses or if he wins?

Does it even matter? The very idea that he is running again for President is bad enough for America. The thought that he might win and crack down on his political enemies, as he has promised, or that he might lose and call his followers to violence, should never have been in the cards to begin with, in my opinion. He should have been in jail a long time ago.

Now, many in the television news are attempting to "normalize" his run for the White House.

Also, if he wins the White House, but the Democrats take the House and Senate, would that be the best outcome in the next election? Republicans plan on riding his coattails as far as he can drag them.

Is there any way to escape the coming violence, other than leaving the country?

Will Trump find a way to delay or escape his trial a week from tomorrow?

He certainly is trying everything he can conjure up.

He wants the Judge to recuse himself. He is attacking the Judge's family. He wants some TV documentary as evidence that the world is out to get him. No doubt, he will offer more in the next week.

His desperation is showing. All along the watchtower, time is drawing near.

In my opinion, once this snowball starts rolling downhill, there will be no stopping it.

My wish is for Judge Merchon to be successful.

Judge Juan Manuel Merchan?

What will the MAGA's be saying about him two weeks from now?

Assuming that Trump does not get another delay and his trial has begun?

If Merchan can get Trump in front of a jury, he will be a hero to many Americans, I am sure.

Trump and his cult will be very angry.

America needs a hero.

Do you believe in "signs"?


I do believe that there are things that happen that are beyond our small minds.

I do recall the last big eclipse that crossed America in 2017. It came on shore in Washington state and departed somewhere near Charleston, SC. Trump had only been in office a few months, but long enough to know that he was going to be a disaster.

Now, seven years later, there is another eclipse that crosses the path of the previous one, somewhere near the Paducah, KY area.

We did have weather disasters after the last eclipse. We had Houston flooded from a Hurricane and then almost immediately afterward, we had Puerto Rico and Cuba torn apart by hurricanes. There is no proof there was a connection, but it happened nonetheless.

People can interpret these "signs" anyway they wish, I suppose?

I prefer to see the beginning and the end of a 7-year scourge called Trump. I think the eclipse will signal the end of Trump and evil he brought to this country.

Trump is very, very worried about the April 15th trial date.

He doesn't do "trials".

He either pays off the plaintiffs or delays the process until it disappears.

But, this time, it is different.

There is Michael Cohen and Stormy Daniels waiting to testify. Hope Hicks is a wild card and they don't know what she might say? The facts do not look good for Trump. He really needs to make this trial disappear.

It was nothing unusual for him to try to pay someone off to keep them quiet. It was not the first time he had done it. Unfortunately, it was right before the 2016 election and he did not need any more negative attention. Michael Cohen, who swore he would "take a bullet" for him, was sent to prison for his part in the pay-off. Obviously, there is no love lost there.

So, is Trump worried about April 15th?

I would say, very much so.

Judge Aileen Cannon is unapologetically grateful and loyal to Donald Trump.

After all, she would not have her position at all if Trump had not chosen her after the last election had been decided. He needed his own Judge, close to home, that would help him get out of legal jams and was more than willing to help him. She is a loyal person and is very grateful for what Trump did for her. A lifetime appointment with great pay - what more could a person ask for?

She has very little experience and is more than willing to take advice from anyone that might need her help, especially the legal team of Donald J Trump.

She is in a category similar to SC Justice Clarence Thomas. Both are useless to the legal profession but they serve a purpose for their masters.

100 years ago - A "return to normalcy", the Roarin' Twenties, and then, the Depression.

Warren Harding, a Republican, called for a "return to normalcy" after WWI had ended and people's lives had been uprooted by the "Spanish flu". He called for isolationism and deregulation on businesses as a way to return to normalcy.

What followed was the Roarin' Twenties and then the stock market crash of 1929.

That was followed by the Great Depression.

Do you think we are on a similar track?

Are we paying the price for the lack of civics education in the classroom?

Is there a more gullible population in the world right now, than the present population of America?

It is almost embarrassing how naive and gullible the voters of this nation are at this time.

"Hey, don't let anyone see this....shh....Would you like to buy this watch for only $5 dollars?"

"Keep it hid until I get out of sight, OK?"

" How about a Trump Bible? It will be worth a lot more a year from now...look at it as an investment....it's only $60 dollars".

"You know, Trump is just like you, right?"

He only wants to be a dictator from Day One... whatever it takes to clean up the mess, right?

I guess there are some folks that do want civics taught because they might teach about liberal democracy and that would be a threat to some people, right?

Is the FBI aware of the violent threats against different state election officials?

It seems like something the FBI would want to crack down on? Trace the calls and emails and find the culprits that would make such threats?

I felt sorry for the Colorado Secretary of State, Griswold, who was on Nicolle Wallace's show yesterday. She read one of the threats that the Secretary had received. The Secretary said she had received even worse messages. No one, especially elected officials, should have to live under such threats. It is criminal.

I'm sure the Department of Justice, including the FBI, are on top of this.
