lees1975's JournalThreat levels for all Presidential candidates are high. But...
When your movement threatens violence if it doesn't get its way at the ballot box, and then carries it out, as they did on January 6th, and continues to threaten it, nut jobs and crazies are going to take the hint.
How was it possible for this particular nut case to get his hands on an assault rifle? I'll answer my own question. Because of Republican party support for the NRA who believes the second amendment means everyone everywhere has the right to own assault rifles.
Here's a second example in a political campaign why the guy who is the target is completely wrong about this issue and why he should not be allowed anywhere near the White House again.
Roberts meddling in Trump cases? According to a British news source, yes.

The Daily Mail online...
The conservative judge took the lead in March’s case on whether states could remove the former president from their ballots over his role in the January 6 attack on the Capitol.
Roberts demanded a unanimous decision from the bench according to memos leaked to the New York Times.
He also took charge of the case concerning prosecution of the January 6 rioters himself from Justice Samuel Alito after his fellow conservative was embroiled in a row about his wife flying the Stars and Stripes upside down from their home.
This is a breaking story.
Harris was right about people streaming out of Trump rallies long before he is done speaking.
I have a relative who works near the Ronstadt Music Theater at the Tucson Community Center where Trump held his rally earlier this week. They'd already moved it from the arena there, which holds 6,000, to the theater, capacity around 2,100, because of the smaller anticipated crowd (on the same day Kamala was speaking to over 25,000 people in North Carolina). She said that when she went to lunch, around 1:00, there was a small line outside the entrance to the theater, not any noticeable increase in traffic. She thought the rally was over when she was leaving work, because of the cars coming out of the parking garage, and people walking across the plaza carrying banners and signs. When she got home, and turned on the news, she found out he was still speaking.
Evangelicals are blind to the reality that Trump's agenda is anti-Christian.
https://signalpress.blogspot.com/2024/09/evangelicals-have-been-beguiled-and.htmlFor those seeking to understand the dynamics within the political Evangelical support for a man whose character is completely antithetical to any Christian belief or doctrine, this article will help with some of the difficult nuances of that relationship.
For those who read this who were not raised in, or have never been a member of an Evangelical church in the United States, some of what you may read here will be difficult to understand. I was raised in an Evangelical church, a small, conservative, Southern Baptist congregation of 50 people, and I received most of my higher education in a university and graduate school affiliated with the same denomination.
I'm going to put this in the kind of terminology, using interpretations of passages of the New Testament, that Evangelicals will understand. Those who are not Evangelical, or who are not Christian, can still figure out the message that is being communicated. In one sentence, it is this: Following the guidance provided in the Bible about what it means to be a Christian, committed to the gospel of Jesus Christ, Trump's worldly character and lifestyle are completely inconsistent with Christian faith and practice and voting to put him in the Presidency of the United States would be antithetical to the kind of commitment and loyalty required to be faithful to the gospel of Jesus Christ.
And on top of all of the tyranny that the 900 some odd pages of Project 2025 would impose on the American people, including the threat of the use of violence and bloodshed against those who resist, someone on one side of the issue or the other is lying through their teeth. It's either the Heritage Foundation, which authored this draconian, heretical, tyrannical political platform with Trump's approval, blessing and input, according to them, promising he would implement every point of it if they helped him back into the White House, or it is Trump lying about not ever having anything to do with it, and trying to distance himself from it because his campaign team told him supporting it would guarantee his defeat in November.
This is yet another dilemma for a narcissistic politician who is playing one side against the other in the hope that neither one will notice while they are voting for him. He's a two faced liar. And I can't be any more clear than that. To conservative Evangelicals, he's pro-life and the killer of the Roe decision. To moderate, pro-choice voters, he's the guy who did what "everyone" wanted, by letting the states vote on abortion, but keeping it legal outside the six week ban now imposed by some conservative states. To conservative Evangelicals, he's the reason Project 2025 exists, and they wrote it for him to implement. To everyone else who is alarmed by its extremism, its pandering to billionaires and stripping the American middle class of the last vestiges of their wealth, and this is something someone else came up with that he's never heard of.
I know a lot of jokes are happening about the cats and dogs comment, but this is one of those kind of haunting gaffes
that can wind up making a big difference in an election.
And now, along with the bomb threats and the danger in which this has placed every Haitian immigrant and now citizen of the United States, there will be MAGA crazies and nut jobs actually hurting people's pets to prove their point.
This was a costly gaffe, in more ways than one, but Trump lost a lot of votes because of it.
A Letter to Evangelical Trump supporters: Trump has sold you out.
https://signalpress.blogspot.com/2024/09/to-evangelical-trump-supporters-trump.htmlTrump has flip flopped on the key issue of abortion rights. After bragging to you that he appointed three Supreme Court justices who were key in overturning the Roe v. Wade decision, which made women's reproductive health care a constitutional right, he now claims that he's not opposed to abortion, that a six week window in laws restricting access to abortion is not long enough, that he is OK with each individual state determining, by vote, whether to allow abortion rights or not, and that he's willing to live with the referendum results in Ohio, Kansas, Kentucky and other conservative states where voters sent the message to their state legislators that they want abortion to be safe and legal.
More importantly than that, he clearly stated that he would not be in favor of a federal law banning all abortions, something every politically oriented Evangelical group supports 100%.
In other words, he's sold you out in order to get votes, because he has seen that a significant percentage of the population wants the protections of Roe v. Wade restored. He can't just take a reverse position because that would make him look like he made a mistake, so he invented this ridiculous argument that "everyone wanted the states to be able to do this." That, by the way, was a big lie. Not even all Republicans wanted that. But his pathological lying has never seemed to bother you much, has it?
So, according to what Trump said in the debate last night, if all 50 states passed laws making access to all women's reproductive health care decisions back to the women, including abortions, he would support that because the states voted for it. And he would not support any attempt in Congress to pass a national abortion ban. That goes against every reason you have ever given for supporting a moral degenerate like that as a candidate for President. It's the one thing you have consistently used to defend your support for someone like him, who rejects even the basic premise of a Christian conversion experience.
Do you really have strong convictions and beliefs about this? Let's see. Put your money where your mouth has been.
Ok, I think the world may have turned completely upside down. Did Steve Schmidt actually say that Harris' debate
performance was the best by any presidential candidate in the television era?
Just a trivial mistake, but did anyone catch his accusation that the "Governor of West Virginia" was setting infants
aside at birth and then deciding what to do? "Not the one now, he's a good guy, the one before."
Well, the governor of West Virginia before the one now is Joe Manchin. He did correct it later on, though that would have been Ralph Northam, and I don't believe Ralph Northam, a medical doctor, ever said that. It was a conspiracy theory.
She won the debate. And if we have people in this country whose heads are on straight, this will be the biggest
landslide since Reagan beat Mondale. The fact that it probably won't be tells us how bad things really are, but I really do think she will win this big.
And I will tell you this. If the polls don't reflect this in a week, then we know they are faking it and can't be trusted.
Well, I've never seen a presidential candidate go so insane on national television.
He's a raving lunatic.
