On January 6th, when the electors are judged and counted in Congress and the result is truly "official," the "damage" may be loss of life in domestic terror attacks.

stochastic terrorism
the public demonization of a person or group resulting in the incitement of a violent act, which is statistically probable but whose specifics cannot be predicted.

to the threat of the unthinkable, which is desperately important, and also by demonstrating our democratic republic's strength in the face of attack. For all the angry noise, all victories were to the majorities and institutions of democracy and all defeats the seditionists'.

Trump's going to pardon lots of his stooges and henchmen. Why did he single out Mike Flynn to pardon early?

From that act, plus after the election his firing the SecDef and Pentagon deputies and replacing them with even more loyal loyalists, I can only conclude Trump was setting up to make his coup attempt literally a military one, if he worked up the nerve to actually try it.

He'd have fired his Army Chief of Staff, or maybe the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and replaced him with the newly pardoned Flynn waiting in the wings.

Notice that post-election Flynn endorsed another loon's call for military takeover of the election result and the military completely re-running it under the control of the military's commander-in-chief... i.e., Trump himself.

Thankfully Cadet Bonespurs chickened out on that idea.

But he did make preparatory moves to set himself up to try.

It’s not a matter of “whether”, but “how much” damage they’ve done, and how much is permanent damage.

we'll never see this framed and in the lobby of any Trump building or the front of Mar-A-Lago........

Wonder if all those guys selling Trump flags last month know that there are more than a few of us that would love have a copy of that one? I'd put it in a frame next to the copy of TIME with Joe and Kamala!

So THAT'S what his latest scam is all about - since he can't use the Trump Foundation to buy him any more goodies!

It's doubtful tRump will see it. Something tells me that much of this kind of thing is hidden from him to keep him from going berserk with his golf clubs in the White House.
