This is pure political theater. Trump and Bannon are cynically floating a third term just to mess with JD Vance, exposing their toxic games. It shows utter contempt for our constitutional norms, even as a joke.

Of note that while State is adding this to their country human rights reviews, here’s what they’ve removed from them: violence & discrimination against LGBTQ+, arbitrary/unlawful interference with privacy, restrictions to internet access, and violence/threats targeting people with disabilities.

If you had questions about Trump's "assassination attempts" wait until you see info about the guy who shot the National Guard troops. He was a CIA trained killer who worked in an elite unit in Afghanistan known for killing civilians. Now he travelled from Wash state to DC to shoot random troops 🤔

Trump companies destroyed documents against court orders. Trump flushed documents at the White House. Trump is a criminal who thinks he is above the law and his buddies are complicit. Even if/when they release the Epstein files, it's likely the most damning evidence will have been destroyed.

It’s infuriating. An expert nails it: Trump keeps dodging justice for his egregious acts, like the Georgia election interference. Now that case is dismissed, whitewashing history and undermining the rule of law. He remains above accountability.
Trump keeps dodging accountability despite 'particular egregious' acts: expert

It may be premature to treat this as traditional terrorism.

It sounds like this guy was one of the people everyone involved in Afghanistan said should be protected, bc going back would be a death sentence.

Also note his aptitudes would come from Special Forces/CIA.
With DC shooter now identified as an Afghan national not the antifa secret agent White House hoped for a good time to remember the Trump admin has gutted domestic anti-terrorism capacity and reassigned many to finding grandmothers to arrest at immigration hearings.
