Donald Trump will become our next president on January 20, 2025. We already know what kind of president he was and where he placed his priorities and loyalties. Trump’s motto is telling the people what they want to hear, then doing whatever he wants to do, and the people will be none the wiser.
On July 1, 2024, the U.S. Supreme Court’s 6-3 ruling in Trump vs United States gave former President Trump presumptively immunity from criminal liability for his official acts while in office, and absolutely immunity for some of them, including his attempts to use the Justice Department to obstruct the results of the 2020 election.
This conservative Supreme Court ruling basically says that presidents are above the law. This ruling has now made any president a direct threat to the rule of law, our democracy, and a potential dictator while in office or longer. This ruling tells us that six of the Supreme Court justices are okay with this.

Not my president! He will be assassinated. There were more than 3 attempts on his life already. I am sure he will become quite a target.
I believe the biggest threat to our democracy is censorship. If you have read at least some of the Twitter Files you will realize why I feel this way. We know from the files Snowden released that the govt. spies on us, through our phones and internet activity. George Orwell’s ‘1984’ is right around the corner. The next step is control of the internet. Another threat to our country is what some journalists refer to as ‘Forever Wars’, which led to the birth of al-Qaeda and Isis and 9/11. According to Professor Jeffrey Sachs, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have contributed $8 trillion to our debt. This is not sustainable. The Biden administration has supported censorship (Missouri v Biden) and the forever war foreign policy. I could not vote for Harris, which most likely would have been a continuation of Biden’s policies. It’s up to the House, Senate and Supreme court to make sure our Constitution is not violated, by Trump or any agency.
I have read some biased crap in my time, but i am happy in the knowledge you must be screaming into your pillow every night because Trump will live in your head rent free for the next 4 years minimum.
Thanks Tom, I appreciate you taking the time to spell this out. With the election of a 34 time convicted felon and conman, we are the laughingstock of the world and we deserve it!
