Donald Trump spent 90 minutes tonight spewing lies, vitriol, and hate.
He cares more about retribution and punishing his perceived enemies than helping his supporters or anyone else.
After all, the only constituent he truly cares about is himself.
“Concepts of a Plan”: Trump Roasted for Having No Clue What He’s Doing

Buried in the House NDAA bill is automatic registration for 18-26 year olds for selective service, i.e. a potential draft.
Amazing how we can automatically register young people to go to war and die but not automatically register young people to go to the polls and vote. smh

"Unprecedented in the History of American Republicanism": Historian on Trump Verdict & GOP Extremism
http://www.democracynow.org/2024/5/31/trump_guilty_hush_money_case_historic
In a historic verdict, a New York jury found former President Donald Trump guilty on all 34 felony counts in his criminal hush money and election interference trial. Trump is now the first former president to be convicted of a felony and faces up to four years in prison. “All this is unprecedented in the history of American republicanism,” says U.S. historian Manisha Sinha. “A man like Trump could very much upend this over-200-year historical experiment in representative government.” Trump can still be president as a convicted felon and is poised to become the Republican nominee for the nation’s highest office in July. “One of the most dangerous things about Trump is that he’s not a one-man show,” says Sinha. “He’s the presumptive nominee of a political party in a two-party system. That in itself poses an immense danger to American democracy.”
