Videos and articles on this page explain how Project 2025 and the Radical Right Wing GOP Republican Dominated Supreme Court gave Trump “Absolute Immunity” and the Power of a Dictator Power if he’s elected in 2024

 

 

Per the above article: “Trump pledges to jail opponents, Baselessly suggests election will be stolen from him”

“Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump threatened to jail people “involved in unscrupulous behavior” related to voting in the 2024 election, suggesting without evidence that the election could be stolen from him — and prompting widespread condemnation from election officials who said such rhetoric could provoke violence”. WHEN I WIN, those people that CHEATED will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the Law, which will include long term prison sentences so that this Depravity of Justice does not happen again,” Trump wrote on Saturday on his Truth Social platform”.

Trump threatens to imprison Biden, Harris, Pelosi, and others</strong>… Richard Painter, who was a White House ethics lawyer for President George W. Bush, likened the comments to a vision of President Vladimir Putin’s Russia, where Putin’s political opponents end up behind bars on charges such as “extremism” or “treason” after criticizing his regime.

“It’s extremely dangerous for democracy, this idea that the winner just puts the loser in prison, prosecutes the loser,” Painter told USA TODAY.

Trump Campaign National Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told USA TODAY in an email that Trump “believes anyone who breaks the law should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, including criminals who engage in election fraud.”

The former president has previously suggested prosecuting his rivals would be legitimate revenge for his own legal troubles, which include one criminal conviction in New York state court and three other criminal cases. Painter said that argument ignores some stark differences between Trump’s own situation and what he is threatening to do.

“Joe Biden never campaigned on a promise to put Donald Trump in prison,” Painter said. “When Donald Trump engaged in the conduct he did, an independent prosecutor was appointed,” he added, referring to special counsel Jack Smith, who has significant independence from Justice Department leadership and secured grand jury indictments in the two federal cases Trump faces, one alleging Trump unlawfully attempted to subvert the 2020 election and the other alleging he mishandled classified documents”.

 

Trump’s Promises and Plans for 2025 — in his own words

There’s no mystery about what Donald Trump wants to do in his second term. He’s told us his plans and Project 2025 is how Trump’s rhetoric will become an authoritarian reality for us all. Here’s what he has promised, in his own words.

1 – Pardon power
Trump will use his pardon power to shield himself and his allies from criminal accountability

2 – Directing Investigations Against Critics and Rivals
He’s promised to order the Department of Justice to investigate people who challenge him.

3 – Regulatory Retaliation
Trump has also promised to purge professional staff and experts inside the government and replace them with “Yes” Men and Women.

4 – Federal Law Enforcement Overreach
Trump plans to explode police powers in ways that would make America unrecognizable.

5 – Domestic Deployment of the Military
Trump wants to use the military to police our streets and send troops to our cities over the will of state and local officials.

6 – The Autocrat Won’t Leave
AND, like he showed us in 2020 and on January 6th, that if he is elected to office, he will be unwilling to leave. He’s willing to use every tool at his disposal to remain in power.

These promises are not just words; they are tactics pulled straight from the authoritarian playbook.

 

Trump & The End of Democracy

 

 

Project 2025 is Republican’s Radical plan to make Trump a Dictator by increasing his authority over every part of the Federal Government so he can end Democracy, end Freedom of Speech and eliminate Freedom of the Press by shutting down media outlets which have been critical of him and order the Department of Justice to prosecute political enemies.

 

‘Project 2025’: Trump & Radical Right Wing Republicans Plan to turn the United States into a Fascist Dictatorship

 

Reign of terror which could begin if Trump is elected President

 

Representative Gerry Connolly explains Trump and his cronies have openly stated they intend to “terminate rules, regulations & articles, even those in the Constitution”, invoke the “Insurrection Act” & declare “Martial Law” to Quash Protests, use “Shock Troops” to take over the government, replace 50,000 Federal Employees with Trump loyalists, eliminate Freedom of Speech and shut down media outlets which have been critical of him.

Historian issues STUNNING WARNING about Trump

historian Heather Cox Richardson joins to discuss the dangers of Trump’s agenda and how history shows us how that agenda will lead us into autocracy.

 

Trump believes a President should have absolute “Presidential Immunity” to the extent he could order SEAL Team Six to kill a political opponent and be immune to criminal prosecution. Incredibility, the out-of-control Radical Right Wing GOP Supreme Court ruled in Trump favor granting him “Absolute Immunity”. This means he could have anyone executed who criticizes him using the reason that they are a “threat” to national security and behaved in a “treasonous” manor. The Rule of Law has been obliterated by this Radical Right Wing GOP dominated Supreme Court.

 

Trump’s attorney argues to the Supreme Court that he should have the authority to have absolute immunity to do anything he wants, including having a political opponent murdered

 

Trump posted & stated on 11/11/2023; ”We pledge to you that we will root out the communists, Marxists, fascists and the radical left thugs that live like vermin within the confines of our country that lie and steal and cheat on elections”.

 

In response to outrage over Trump’s ‘vermin’ comment, his campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung stated about Trump opponents; “their entire existence will be crushed when President Trump returns to the White House.”

Democrats are NOT Socialist, Marxist or Communists. Trump and Republicans are the ones who LIE , cheat and tried to steal the 2020 election.

Trump’s insane statements prove he intends to violate his Oath of Office, the United States Constitution and Citizens Rights on DAY ONE. His claiming he’s only going to be a Dictator for ONE DAY is BS. Let’s not forget how Fact Checkers found Trump LIED over 30,000 times while President, so he has no credibility. He did everything possible to stay in office after he lost in 2020. If he gets back in the White House in 2024, he isn’t leaving… he’s made it clear; he wants to be a DICTATOR FOR LIFE. Under Trump’s rule, the United States could become like Russia where dissenters are arrested, locked up and executed.

 

The above video shows that Trump is pathological liar, narcissistic sociopath and a clear & present danger which the RNC is recklessly unleashing onto the American public by enabling, sponsoring and promoting on they’re ticket.

 

Trump and Republicans are the REAL Fascist

 

In an interview with Andy Borowitz from The New Yorker on May 9, 2018, Trump Stated about the United States Constitution; “I’ve seen a lot of bad deals in my life, but this Constitution is a total mess. We need to tear it up and start over. The first thing we do when we pull out of the Constitution is get rid of two of those branches. He also called the First Amendment “something that really has to go. No one in his right mind would put something like that in a Constitution. Russia doesn’t have it. North Korea doesn’t have it. All the best countries don’t have it.”

 

Trump & Republicans have stated their intentions in ‘Project 2025’ to turn the Presidency into a Presidential Dictatorship by increasing the president’s authority over every part of the federal government so he cannot be restrained or held accountable by congress or the courts. He intends to bring independent agencies under direct presidential control, such as the Federal Communications Commission, which makes and enforces rules for television and internet companies, the Federal Trade Commission, which enforces various antitrust and other consumer protection rules against businesses, the FBI, CIA and Attorney General’s office.

Trump & his cronies have made it clear they want violate the First Amendment & Freedom of Speech by shutting down news outlet which are critical of him. Using plans outlined in ‘Project 2025’ and Martial Law, he could order the FCC to shut down any TV Network which is critical of him or says something he doesn’t like. He could also order his Attorney General to Arrest and Prosecute anyone for no reason at all and that person would have no recourse.

He intends to strip employment protections from tens of thousands of career civil servants, making it easier to replace them if they are deemed obstacles to his agenda. And he plans to scour the intelligence agencies, the State Department and the defense bureaucracies to remove officials not loyal to him.

Trump says members of Jan. 6 Select Committee should go to jail

Under Republicans “Project 2025” plans, Trump could order his Attorney General to arrest and prosecute anyone for no reason at all. Trump even mentioned this in the above video saying if he had a political rival who was doing well and “beating me very badly I’d say go down and Indict them”. “That means that if I win and somebody wants to run against me, I call my attorney general, I say listen, indict him.

 

Radical Right Winger Mike Davis, who Trump might make his Attorney General has stated he’d pardon all of the January 6 rioters, toss opponents in ‘the gulag’ and caging migrant kids would be glorious.

Below is the post Davis referenced in the above video about putting Professor of History, Ruth Ben-Ghiat in the “Gulag”. Her crime? Being critical of Trump and calling him out for his Autocrat, Authoritarian, Fascist behavior which she claims is similar to Hitler & Mussolini.

 

March 28, 2024 Steve Bannon stated: “After we’ve won the Accountability Project’s going to start and it’s going to be thorough this time. It’s going to be they’re going to be in prison”.

 

Steve Bannon using TERRORIST threats saying; ‘we mock your fear, we want your fear’. We want you to be afraid because we are going to be coming after those who oppose Donald Trump and he will be imbued with authority to punish you.

 

Trump Henchman Steve Bannon wants “SHOCK TROOPS” to take over the Government

 

Kash Patel, who may be a member of Trump’s lawless, fascist “administration of terror”, recently stated; “We will go out and find the conspirators, not just in government but in the media,” Patel said. “Yes, we’re going to come after the people in the media who lied about American citizens, who helped Joe Biden rig presidential elections — we’re going to come after you.

These types of statements are INSANE and show a total disregard for the United States Constitution and Citizens Rights. TRUMP and REPUBLICANS are the ones who LIED and attempted to RIG & STEAL the 2020 election. Trump and those in his potential “administration” have made it clear; they plan on engaging in a reign of LAWLESSNESS and TERROR.

 

On “The View” (Dec 6, 2023) co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin, who served as White House Director of Strategic Communications for Trump, claimed he wanted to have a member of his own staff ‘executed’ for leaking a story about him going to the bunker during the George Floyd protests.

Trump and allies plot revenge, DOJ control in second term

“Trump and his allies have begun mapping out specific plans for using the federal government to punish critics and opponents should he win a second term, with the former president naming individuals he wants to investigate or prosecute and his associates drafting plans to potentially invoke the Insurrection Act on his first day in office to allow him to deploy the military against civil demonstrations.

In private, Trump has told advisers and friends in recent months that he wants the Justice Department to investigate onetime officials and allies who have become critical of his time in office, including his former chief of staff, John F. Kelly, and former attorney general William P. Barr, as well as his ex-attorney Ty Cobb and former Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman Gen. Mark A. Milley, according to people who have talked to him, who, like others, spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe private conversations. Trump has also talked of prosecuting officials at the FBI and Justice Department, a person familiar with the matter said.

In public, Trump has vowed to appoint a special prosecutor to “go after” President Biden and his family. The former president has frequently made corruption accusations against them that are not supported by available evidence.

To facilitate Trump’s ability to direct Justice Department actions, his associates have been drafting plans to dispense with 50 years of policy and practice intended to shield criminal prosecutions from political considerations. Critics have called such ideas dangerous and unconstitutional.

“It would resemble a banana republic if people came into office and started going after their opponents” said Saikrishna Prakash, a constitutional law professor at the University of Virginia who studies executive power”. [source: washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/11/05/trump-revenge-second-term]
