Day one? That is such BS! The man is a faker and a conman to the core! He will DESTROY the country, and take his sweet time at it. He will not leave office after 4 years. He will not hesitate to use violence, threats, intimidation to get his way in every detail. He would destroy the world to get his way, and blame it on others. He is not a normal person; he is a pathologically selfish maniac skilled at presenting the superficial appearance of being human and having a sense of humor. His pathology is such that he cannot care about other people; he does not know what that is.
And . . . surprise!!!! —HE will personally RIG his next election! (He is the rigger-in-chief; rigging things is HIS life—its what he happens to know all about!)
He’s trying to rig it now by trying to delay his trials until his Deplorables can try to steal another election.
Dictator-for-a-Day isn’t a reality! Unlike the vintage game show Queen-for-a-Day...there will be no rules and no way for anyone else to play; as the democracy that provides us the choice to vote Will Be OVER.
We hear you Dashk, but weren't you listening or reading all of Jim Acosta & Mary. They just said all of that. But you know what, kinda feel stupid here I do, I went back read your comment, (from the beginning) my bad. As they say in there chambers, "I yield back my time"
Mary is wonderful and does us all a great service. I mostly just wanted to vent, and stress some things, despite maybe just repeating some points Mary already made.
I know we cannot take the next election for granted. If we do; if the younger Americans sit on the sidelines or if enough people decide to vote for a fake 3rd party candidate who is there only to take away votes from Biden; or if enough progressives think Biden hasn't done enough to help the environment ((as if trump getting back in will allow any improvement)); then our gooses are cooked. Not just yours and mine, but everyone's goose is cooked. It will be world domination by white supremacists; Russia wins in Europe, not just Ukraine; Saudi Arabia wins; China wins because trump will win, unless we all combine our votes for the Democratic Presidential Ticket. As to whether or not trump will be a dictator or not? Is the Pope Catholic? Do Republicans still lie and cheat at everything? Does the Supreme Court still get swayed by billionaires who pay for their lavish vacations or motorhomes? Just as a reminder, folks, POLLS DON'T VOTE. We the people vote. I remember cold calling people in TX for Beto O'Rourke for his race against Cruz. No one ever answered the phone; nobody wants to talk to strangers on the phone who might be scammers; so, if they don't recognize the number calling, they don't answer, so I DON'T BELIEVE ANY OF THESE POLLS. Exit polls, maybe. carry on, Mary.
A significant number of people are extremely upset by Biden's UI unconditional support of the genocidal massacre taking place in Gaza, and are saying that cannot vote for him. It's a shame because he has been so great in so many other of his efforts to grow the middle class. Of course we must vote for Biden if he is the candidate.
Lisa- we need to be telling them that Trump’s pro-Putin history and his desire to avenge Zelenskyy’s failure to help him cheat by finding “dirt” on Biden means Trump could well be essentially pro-genocide against Ukrainians. And since he has added Netanyahu to his enemies list (simply because Bibi congratulated Biden on winning the last election), there’s no guarantee about how he would handle Hamas vs Israel.
True. I'm ashamed to say I may be reconciled again to voting for genocide Joe. What a shit show the ultra-rich, greedy and heartless fools have done to this planet. It makes me sick with rage and helplessness. Who knows what the orange demon will do.
Good point, Bill, about how many people won’t answer the phone or will hang up as soon as they know it’s a pollster. I’m one of those people. I would be happy to share my opinion if I knew who was actually asking. So I wonder: are hangups and “no answer” factored into the poll results? Has anyone looked at whether Democrats or Republicans are more likely non-responders? Age of the poll responders vs demographics? I know now from other articles that pollsters call both landlines and cellphones, but what about all these other factors?
Trump’s always been a wannabe dictator. But he would be worse than anyone could even imagine if he were ever allowed on the White House grounds ever again. Trump belongs in prison. Period.
Great interview but all of this info won’t stop Trump from re-election! More real action must take place. We are all so tired of talk. Wake up America and do the right thing! Wake Up! 🙏
I would like to see all of the negative/scary polls give two sets of results, differentiating between Biden's lead by popular vote vs. Electoral College vote. I know that we're stuck with the EC for now, but maybe people would feel a little more energized by real statistics on likely votes. (And maybe more people would consider focusing on getting a one-vote-per-person system in place. The EC is insane; there is not other electoral system like it in the world.)
The electoral college and a handful of "swing" states controlling our destiny is just untenable... We could beat orange thing by ten million votes and still lose. 🤬
It’s long been a ridiculous way to have votes counted. We need one person, one vote... not an electoral college. Why not replace that idea with the ERA...
Like HRC did in 2015. The Russians and Criminal 45 had something to do with the EC not reflecting the popular vote. The gov't even admitted to it in that document that Reality Winner shared with America.
The fact so many of us from all over (I’m in Colorado) Are Reading, Comprehending, and Speaking out is action and engagement. And I love hearing everyone and the ideas!
It Is an Action and we do need to do more, too.
I Encourage any and All of us here, 1) make sure you and your family & friends are Still registered and if not...2) Get Registered...3) help someone get registered 4) Vote, Work a polling place, and/or drive others to vote.
Here, the poll workers can apply through the Sec of State’s office should you need to know where to get started.
My hairs on fire too about the (R) Fascist movement.
I’ve done those things for several elections now. It’s been So Rewarding and it’s Necessary in my mind!! I’ve even worked side-by-side with some normal republicans that feel about DJT & his movement like we do. I will still voice my thoughts here but I’m going to be doing more,too.
I can’t believe, belay that..I actually can believe, considering the coverage of trump over the past several years that a member of the press would ask the question “Does he stop on day one?” Or this one “Mary do you think these are empty threats, Kash Patel talking about we’re going to go after the media?” It is confirmation that these people have not been paying attention.. Or they are just too blind to see…
Mary comported herself brilliantly, reminding everyone watching that broadcast how dangerous Trump is to this county and the world..But the idea that Jim Acosta is asking these questions as if there are two sides of this is just absurd..
What happened leading up to and including Jan 6th 2021 was an at of war..the lack of appropriate actions to combat it has been appalling..There is only one solution to the circumstances we currently face as a country..
Sam, if I were Acosta I would consider asking such questions simply as a means to educate the full viewership. It strikes me that that his opening for Mary’s “expert witness “ testimony is a more effective inroad into the minds of those who don’t follow the news than saying something like “of course Trump would become Dictator-for-Life, right?” I trust that was an intentional approach - and a good one.
I considered this very point..however, there is a much better way to have approached it as a strategy..without dumbing down the questions..By asking leading questions, being better prepared on the subject like the way Mary answered..Same with the Kash Patel question..It came across to me as still trying to both sides the topic..It’s an example of how the press has been covering Trump..as if they are a kid being fearful of being yelled at by a parent..
This the way to ask these questions..
“When we look at Russia, China, North Korea and the like we see what happens, it seems unlikely and I can’t imagine, but you know him so well, do you think he stops on day one?” Big difference..
The press must change their coverage on this topic..
I am wondering if anyone here has been ask to do a poll. No one has ever contacted me in regards to answering a poll questions? It’s seems like trump winning polls who’s voting? Only Red States getting these polls? I find it interesting. BIDEN WON BY 8mil votes right? How can he lose those votes when young voter were unable to vote at the time? I still feel Strongly that he will win again unless Russia decides to interfere for Trump. I ve always thought Trump is involved with Russia in an underhand way. In the 80 he used go there also I read a Republican Senator stated Trump his last year in office he would get calls all the time from Putin a lot not sure why but it something to think about. thank you Mary loved your interview with Jim Acosta.
Ps anyone Read about the Newspaper that had their computer seized and the Kansas Bureau of Investigation knew about it? It was a Scary time the Owner 98 old mom died next day. This was a local cop and a local woman that didn’t have DL for 15yr The Paper look into the Officer & Women legally those two small town people didn’t like it so Cop got a warrant which Journalists are protected by First Amendment rights. You have to read about it I will get it wrong it was the point what they could get away with it so Reminded me of Bill Barr what they did to Michael Cohen.
I am concerned about the assassinations Donald will dogwhistle for. Right after the Roe decision Alito laughed in a snarky way and said maye they (the justices) should worry about assassination. Now you know, the ultra right always blames others for actions they themselves have taken or will take.
I'm a 68yr. old Native NY'er and am very familiar with both the Trump and Kushner Crime Families dating back to the 1960's beginning with your grandfather Fred. I was wondering if Donald's disdain for black women especially those in positions of authority dates back to the "Help" that was employed at the Trump residence and I'm sure there were quite a few of them over the years. Just a Thought. Thank you for your insight and sharing your intimate family experiences, I can only imagine how painful it has and continues to be. Best, john e.
As an Australian it scares me to death that Donald is becoming Hitler. It's as clear as the nose on your face. This is dead serious business. I don't get why people don't get it. I wish you well Mary and hope you will be safe and happy. You will always be welcome here.
Most of us get it: Trump has never got more than 50% average approval, and Hillary Clinton got more votes than him in 2016.
The biggest problem is our national election rules government structure and many state level government structures make it easier for this minority and shrinking segment of the country that supports Trumpism to win, or otherwise impose their will from the minority.
People do need to heed what is being said, instead of letting it go into one ear and out the other. We all are living in troubled times and one mistake by voting for this clown will end a lot of our lives as we all know it. Our freedom to do as we please, will be out the door. I look for old Orange Clown, to have people killed by the dozens. Nothing, is not possible, like I said, one mistake and we all will feel the pain. Not, just one of us, all of us. We all need to get our shit together and fight like hell to put a stop to all these craziness that old Orange Clown has made for us all. Mary, is telling us all, that we need to watch what we all are doing. She and others are telling us that this man is a danger to all of us. We all must, come together and fight like it is our last breath that we take, and not let this man take our lives, our families lives away from us. Just, be willing to fight, it is going to take us all to bring this country back to a safe place to live.
I feel like nobody has really considered the fact that it doesn't matter who wins the election, he's going to do whatever he feels necessary to take over this country.
I agree. Mary stated this in the interview - that he needs the presidency to avoid incarceration and bankruptcy. As the election nears, desperation will escalate. I think we may see quite a lot of dirty tricks, increased voter suppression and election interference from other dictatorships. He will stop at nothing to regain power. Be assured he and his helpers are working on plans to subvert the 2024 election.
My concern comes with the escalating violence among his supporters. The comments on every one of the TS posts are filled with calls to 'string up the libs' and 'hunt down every commie' etc. It's building slowly and I fear it's going to explode rather than diffuse.
I'm not on TS; this is definitely concerning. I think it's just a matter of time before it does explode. Violence is what they want; we've already seen what that looks like. The questions are: where will it happen next? Who is the next target of these supporters? How can that person(s) be warned and protected?
Day one? That is such BS! The man is a faker and a conman to the core! He will DESTROY the country, and take his sweet time at it. He will not leave office after 4 years. He will not hesitate to use violence, threats, intimidation to get his way in every detail. He would destroy the world to get his way, and blame it on others. He is not a normal person; he is a pathologically selfish maniac skilled at presenting the superficial appearance of being human and having a sense of humor. His pathology is such that he cannot care about other people; he does not know what that is.
And . . . surprise!!!! —HE will personally RIG his next election! (He is the rigger-in-chief; rigging things is HIS life—its what he happens to know all about!)

Dictator-for-a-Day isn’t a reality! Unlike the vintage game show Queen-for-a-Day...there will be no rules and no way for anyone else to play; as the democracy that provides us the choice to vote Will Be OVER.
Fortunately, he seems as skilled at rigging elections as he is in every other undertaking in his life.
I was just thinking of the irony
The de rigueur of con men!
Thank you 🙏 very clear and concise. We must resist and not allow him to get any closer...
We hear you Dashk, but weren't you listening or reading all of Jim Acosta & Mary. They just said all of that. But you know what, kinda feel stupid here I do, I went back read your comment, (from the beginning) my bad. As they say in there chambers, "I yield back my time"
Mary is wonderful and does us all a great service. I mostly just wanted to vent, and stress some things, despite maybe just repeating some points Mary already made.
“Having a sense of humour” really?
Well, . . . good point.
Least fun guy Ever!
He will NEVER leave office. Dictators NEVER leave.
I know we cannot take the next election for granted. If we do; if the younger Americans sit on the sidelines or if enough people decide to vote for a fake 3rd party candidate who is there only to take away votes from Biden; or if enough progressives think Biden hasn't done enough to help the environment ((as if trump getting back in will allow any improvement)); then our gooses are cooked.

Speak, Share, and Do.
We can save democracy.
I believe Trump misspoke. What he meant to say is that he will start being Dictator on day one. Be afraid. 😳
Be afraid, very afraid.
I can’t believe, belay that..I actually can believe, considering the coverage of trump over the past several years that a member of the press would ask the question “Does he stop on day one?” Or this one “Mary do you think these are empty threats, Kash Patel talking about we’re going to go after the media?” It is confirmation that these people have not been paying attention..

Thank you, Mary, for your informative interview and your picture of Linden and Cap at the end of the transcript. 💙
Thanks Mary for the clip. I refuse to turn on CNN. I prefer Meidas Touch Network and Mueller She Wrote Media.
What would Anderson say about your silo?
(I don't watch him either.)😆
? My silo?
I feel like nobody has really considered the fact that it doesn't matter who wins the election, he's going to do whatever he feels necessary to take over this country.
I agree. Mary stated this in the interview - that he needs the presidency to avoid incarceration and bankruptcy. As the election nears, desperation will escalate.

The questions are: where will it happen next? Who is the next target of these supporters? How can that person(s) be warned and protected?
I kind of feel that way, too —maybe he'll foment a civil war?!
I'm convinced nothing is beneath him.
