Trump signals he’s out for revenge in
second term

Original Article

Former President Trump told his supporters earlier this year he would be their “retribution” if reelected. He told supporters last week he would direct the Justice Department (DOJ) to investigate “every Marxist prosecutor in America.” And Trump over the weekend vowed to “root out … the radical-left thugs that live like vermin within the confines of our country.” Trump’s own words have made increasingly clear how fixated he is on revenge and targeting his perceived enemies if he wins a second term in the White House next November.

This is THE HILL showing what we can expect to be seeing every day as the primaries approach.

Given the behavior of the Democrats from 2016 through 2020, it looks like they were the ones out for revenge.

Asking for justice for those that have broken all the immigration and principles of justice is not out for revenge.

The Dims say that stopping bad policy is revenge. And that prosecuting a Dim for committing a crime is revenge. So if i want justice for a murdered family member, that is actually revenge. If i want to stop dim prosecutors from releasing killers without bail so they will not be able to kill citizens, that is revenge.

The article starts out by quoting Trump as saying that he will be our retribution if re-elected, but the rest of the article makes out like he is bent on revenge. There is a big difference between retribution and revenge. Retribution is merely seeking justice and setting thing right again. Revenge is not justice. It is an over-emotional reaction that imposes retaliation without regard for what should be appropriate. Trump draining the swamp is not revenge. It is retribution; that is, making things right.

So, going after corruption, anti-Americanism and the liars that are destroying this country is "retribution". The mental capacity and honesty of The Hill writers is less than kindergartners with about the same amount of maturity.

The Russia narrative was a conspiracy of individuals and agencies to create the outcome they wanted in the 2016 election. They failed, so they doubled down. Under our system, it is up to the American people to choose their own leaders. By 2020 Democrats had figured out how to go around the people with mail in ballots, drop box stuffing, malfunctioning voting machines, and outrageous narratives about Russia having a "back door" to the White House. All of these "irregularities" could have and should have been caught and punished. Instead, we got January 6, a further effort to demonize ordinary Americans for disagreeing with an election fraught with anomalies. That "insurrection" was planned and included players from radical organizations working to smear not only Trump, but his supporters. President Trump is seeking accountability for those who got caught messing with our elections. The ringleaders want him in jail, not because of what he did, but because he is a threat to their ability to control election outcomes in the future. Democrats thought Americans deserved Joe Biden. It was their idea. Let them now face the consequences of what they did to all of us. There is a reason they aren't trusted.

Payback is a you know what. I fully expect Trump to get even, and I don't have a problem with any of it. The demosluts and media earned it. Trump has had six or seven years to get names and to plan his revenge. I'm sure he has a boat load of lawyers already working on it.

The FJB regime via his corrupt DOJ and FBI DC deep state vermin went after law abiding parents in nearby Nothern Virgina. All because they didn't want their kids to learn about virulent racism in the form of CRT. From the timeframe from the VA county schoolboard to the WH to the DOJ and then the FBI they got the paperwork to go after the parents really quick. It takes these fools longer to go after actual terrorists and other assorted bad guys. President Donald John Trump #45 and by the grace of God hopefully #47 said that he will clean out the DOJ and FBI. That's called justice not vengeance and I for one can't wait.

Former President Donald Trump is urging supporters to “guard the vote” during next year’s election, a phrase that has set off alarm bells among pro-democracy advocates who say it signals permission to take extreme measures that could intimidate voters and threaten election workers. The phrase is a relatively novel one for Trump, though activists in the far-right movement have been setting the groundwork for it to be deployed more widely. Former national security adviser Michael Flynn has spent months repeating the phrase in posts, speeches and interviews.

He fights. And unlike some others who fight, he wins. His fights aren’t carried out through rhetoric: he strikes the Left where it hurts them most. The Left has been winning battles based upon a brilliant strategy they adopted in the 60s and 70s. Once it became clear that the strategy of protest was doomed to fail, Leftists adopted what German socialist Rudi Dutschke called “the long march through the institutions,” explicitly referring to Mao’s famous Long March that ended with the victory of the communists in China.

Appearing on Face the Nation, Cheney was asked about DeSantis suggesting that as president he would look at the January 6 defendants on a case-by-case basis and consider pardons in response to concerns about the “weaponization” of government and the rejected ex-congresswoman responded by declaring the governor “unfit for office.” [Video] “We have other Republican candidates for president like Ron DeSantis who have said they are open to reviewing the cases against these defendants and considering pardons for them,"

With US forces under regular attack across the Mideast and the Navy actively engaged with Houthi forces in the Red Sea, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin was out of commission in the hospital from Monday on. Worse, no one told the White House; worse yet, neither President Biden nor National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan noticed. Not until the Pentagon let Sullivan know on Thursday. Anyone thinking that the nation is well-led despite Biden’s blatant feebleness better think again: Austin and his deputies ignored the law here, while Sullivan was plainly asleep at the switch. Again, with American forces regularly under fire, and our friends in Ukraine and Israel fully at war

Well, well, well… isn’t this interesting. In a court filing today, one of the co-defendants in the Fulton County election case against President Trump is presenting very specific details of an intimate relationship between District Attorney Fani Willis and the Special Prosecutor she hired, Nathan Wade. At first review, if the allegations are true, DA Willis had a financial motivation to initiate the case against Trump, as her boyfriend was the primary financial beneficiary. The filing documents how Fani Willis and Nathan Wade took several extravagant vacations and indulged in an exclusive lifestyle as the result of payments Willis’s office made to Wade.

US District Judge R. Gary Klausner on Monday handed down the 27-month prison sentence to Petty Officer Wenheng Zhao, 26, of Monterey Park, Calif. The Justice Department had sought a sentence of 37 months, arguing that Zhao had obstructed the government’s investigation. In October, Zhao pleaded guilty to one count of conspiring with a Chinese intelligence officer and one count of receiving a bribe, both felonies.

Democrat panic is real, y’all, and everyone is worried that Biden isn’t able to win re-election. During a previously unreported private lunch meeting with Biden, Obama spoke directly about the structure of Biden’s re-election campaign. He told aides and allies of the president that they need to be empowered to make decisions without clearing them first with the White House. Three people familiar with the lunch meeting said that Obama grew “animated” as he discussed the 2024 election and the

Although Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin failed to inform the White House about his recent hospitalization, President Joe Biden (D) is not considering firing him, Politico reported Monday. The outlet cited a group of senior administration officials. If Austin were to issue a resignation Biden would refuse it, a person among them said. “Austin’s going nowhere,” one official told Politico. The report noted Republicans have been calling for Biden to dismiss the defense secretary. (Photo) During a recent interview, Sen. James Lankford (R-OK) told Fox News, “Apparently the National Security Council didn’t know it, the White House didn’t know it, congress didn’t know it.”
