Trump pointed to Biden and Harris’ past comments casting Trump as a “threat to democracy,” while telling Americans they are “unity” leaders.

“They are the opposite,” Trump said. “These are people that want to destroy our country.”

The lack of self-awareness is amazing.

Kind of like how his rhetoric is causing people to call in bomb threats in Springfield? I hope the second attempt really puts fear into his heart: it's not just one crazy guy, there could be gunmen everywhere.

I really don't want Trump to get shot and killed.

I really really want Trump to live the rest of his life in constant fear and paranoia, never able to enjoy the things that he loves, isolated from the world and starving for the adulation of the people who will quickly forget him in the prison of his own making as he taps away at his phone on his own little social media bubble, grasping at being relevant again until the day he dies of natural causes and the nation lets out a wet fart of false sympathy and lowers the flags to half staff for the day while the news media puffs him up one last time before they, too, stop giving a shit and we close this chapter of our lives and our nation.

That requires Harris to beat Trump in November, so I need the fucker to stay alive until then.

Eh ill take my "good enough" if he gets brained, especially if its one of his former supporters. He is dangerous enough that death is easier to work with, while id prefer he had a aneurism on stage and rapidly go into death seizures ill take whatever to remove him. Consider his imprisonment to be a good desert, but right now we are starving so dont bitch about the expired MRE or cold McDonald's hamburger.
