Ted Rall for December 18, 2020

I’d go for both. Except that I’m not sure he is sane enough to actually fear something.

Hmmm….it seems like something is missing from this cartoon…

…Oh yeah, there’s no hidden jab at Biden.

Oops! Should I not have mentioned that? Did I jinx it?

I’ll take options a, b, c, d & e.

What ex-president (of the US) has ever gone to prison?

C. He was making millions through emoluments D. All of the above.

Just remember… trump’s insane.

More likely scared of the REAL MOB looking for their 420 mil

No nuance here…………………………………………………………………………we really are a crazy people.

Have to agree with some of the other comments here, the two motivations are not mutually exclusive. Though I understand people who think it is exclusively narcissism and psychosis.

Question: If (and if there is any justice, “when”) Trump goes to prison, will he be entitled to Secret Service protection?

Republicans have shown everyone what crazy pigs they are, may they lose the Senate.

Trump fans begging military to overturn the election

President Donald Trump’s supporters are calling on him to declare martial law so the U.S. military can somehow overturn his election loss, but legal experts aren’t sure how that would actually work.

The president’s first national security adviser, Michael Flynn, and at least one Republican lawmaker have urged Trump to invoke the Insurrection Act, which they somehow believe would allow him to unravel the alleged conspiracy against him, reported Politico.

“I guess it’d be a voting fraud conspiracy, but how is the military going to suppress that?” said Jimmy Gurulé, a former Justice Department prosecutor who now teaches at Notre Dame Law School. “By what, seizing all the ballots? By seizing all the voting machines? By then, what are they going to do, conduct the votes? It just doesn’t make sense.”

The 1807 law allows the president to send in troops to suppress a domestic “conspiracy,” but Gurulé doesn’t understand what Trump’s invocation of the law would be meant to accomplish.

The majority did not vote for racist Trump’s evil dictatorship, therefore we are guilty of insurrection, according to the crazy idiot republicans.

Vicious anti-American crazy republicans refuse to accept reality, big surprise.

Pentagon in shock as Trump’s new defense chief orders a department-wide halt to cooperation with Biden’s transition team

Republicans still think they are going to subvert the will of the majority of the American people and keep their stinky orange racist dictator in power with a take over of the country.

I don’t know how you haters get any sleep thinking that Trump is out to get you.

trump realizes this narrative provides a gold mine for media.. and contributions.

Bank fraud and tax fraud are civil? I don’t think so.

It’s fear of prison, plus his failure to negotiate amnesty in a country that has no extradition treaty with the U.S.

This one. Also, he may be the first one executed for high crimes and TREASON.

Always a first. Pardoning Nixon set the stage for today. Thank Gerald Ford for today’s BS.

Take your pick. Both work.

Tax fraud, bank fraud, wire fraud before he was POTUS

As long as he pretends he won, he can rile up his “base”, and more importantly, get them to send him money (250 MILLION so far, since the election), he won’t say he lost. It’s really quite simple. Grift is what it is called. And if his supporters are stupid enough to keep sending him money, well, that’s up to them.

Theodore deigns to grace us with the occasional Trump critique.

It can be both the psychosis and the fear of prison.

It’s all those things, AND the fear of going to prison.

Are they mutually exclusive?

He has 70 million backers and they own guns.

President Trump has announced that he plans to live in Mar-A-Lago after he leaves the White House (on or about January 20, 2021).

Now, neighbors have complained, and seek the enforcement of the covenant:

Neighbors of Mar-a-Lago sent a letter to the Town of Palm Beach and the U.S. Secret Service on Tuesday complaining that Mr. Trump has violated the 1993 agreement he made with the town that allowed him to convert the property to a moneymaking club.“Per the use agreement of 1993, Mar-a-Lago is a social club, and no one may reside on the property,” wrote Reginald Stambaugh, a lawyer representing the DeMoss family, which has a property next to Mar-a-Lago.“To avoid an embarrassing situation for everyone and to give the president time to make other living arrangements in the area, we trust you will work with his team to remind them of the use agreement parameters,” Mr. Stambaugh wrote. “Palm Beach has many lovely estates for sale, and surely he can find one which meets his needs.”

Funny – but that fear of prison grew out of the behavior which stemmed from his primitive character disorder*. (*There was a time when ‘personality disorders’ were called, and considered to be, character disorders. In Trump’s case, the latter is certainly the more applicable.)

Anyone remember my suggestion that Biden’s rise-from-the-dead seemed crooked, and maybe what really happened was that the people voted for Sanders while the voting machines voted for Biden?

Well, it seems that similar questions have arisen about McConnell’s win in Kentucky:

— McConnell racked up huge vote leads in traditionally Democratic strongholds, including counties that he had never before carried.

— There were wide, unexplained discrepancies between the vote counts for presidential candidates and down-ballot candidates.

— Significant anomalies exist in the state’s voter records. Forty percent of the state’s counties carry more voters on their rolls than voting-age citizens.

Kentucky and many other states using vote tabulation machines made by Election Systems & Software all reported down-ballot race results at significant odds with pre-election polls.
