Worse than hell: Rick Wilson was just on RT with BM and said Trump GOQ '24 presumptive nominee

RT with BM=Real Time with Bill Maher.

My stomach has been a bit jumpy tonight and I feel a little bit more sick now after hearing Wilson say this. He said Trump is the presumptive nominee unless he gets eaten by an alligator, direct quote.

I cannot begin to tell you how much better my life will be when I no longer have to worry about that Satanic monster. 4 more years of this? At least 10 years all together? The anxiety he has provoked in me for years now has been intense enough and now to hear that, that anxiety (which I thought was put away January 20, 2021) has just begun? I keep trying to wean off my antidepressant/anti-anxiety medication (just 1 pill) but as long as I keep hearing things like this, that seems a distant dream

Him even if he's in jail. They're that crazy now. They'll say once he’s elected he can pardon himself.

I think her husband, (the Former President) will talk up his return up to the very last minute, but it won't happen.
He loves the talk, the speculation, etc., not to mention whatever funds he can grab along the way.

But it won't happen.

I'm surprised she hasn't bolted already. That being said, he'll be too busy fighting his various court battles to run for anything--if his body doesn't finally crap out on him first.

even if he keels over dead tomorrow, just as the racist fools today who carry confederate and nazi flags carry on the poisonous and treasonous philosophy of those movements.

We're with the orange turd's legacy in our history. We just have to keep trying to plunge a stake through it's heart whenever we can, as the misguided extremists are here to stay.

kings normally try to do. It's his last chance to cover up his illegal crap and get a pardon. No one else he can trust to do than and not turn on him.

During the 2016 campaign, I couldn't wait till it was over. I stopped watching the news, changed the channel whenever he was on - which was all the time - and I figured that once the election was over, we'd never have to hear or see his offensiveness again.

And this really is unprecedented. Has this ever happened before - the outgoing POTUS continuing to make headlines with offensive threats against his successor?? I've been voting since Jimmy Carter and when he unfortunately lost, he went on to implement impressive programs for the good of the world.

And when he defeated incumbent Gerald Ford in 1976, was there rancor?? President Carter followed precedent and reached out to the other surviving members of the exclusive POTUS club. At that time, there was only Ford and Nixon - and Ford took Carter up on his offer. Since Ford had experience with Congress and former Governor Carter had not, he was extremely helpful to the new POTUS in dealing with Congress. A friendship was formed and the former opponents became lifelong friends.

But in the current case, we have the loser insisting he won, instigating nut jobs still in government and elsewhere causing trouble and making headlines every day. I am so sick of him, too. How can we forget him if he won't go away??

Tell which Republican would even consider to primary him? (Silence) There you go . . . . .

But it won't be the same.

He'll be four years older, will have lost some Mojo, and the dementia might have progressed. He will be less than himself in 2020 yet more than a shadow.

1) The legal issues he faces today.

2) Long-term use of adderall on an aging body. He's going to be 78.

Here's what I found on the net:


Is Adderall good for older adults?
Medications that are FDA-approved specifically for ADHD in adults are the stimulants Adderall XR, Concerta, Focalin XR, Vyvanse, and the nonstimulant Strattera. The approved maximum age for use of these medications varies from fifty-five to sixty-five.

...will increase to the point that even the crazy sycophants can't cover for him anymore or ignore.

I realize in this case that decline would have to be pretty extreme. Trump could be talking pure gibberish and drooling on himself, and his followers would claim he is "speaking in tongues", and a whole cottage industry would crop up to explain His Holy Pronouncements.

As long as he is not dead or in jail he will absolutely be the GOP 2024 nominee for POTUS. DT views being a 1 term President as a “Yuge” loser. The comments he has made in the past of President Bush Sr. and President Carter being 1 term Presidents show this. If the Dems don’t get busy passing some legislation to counter the GOP tailor made voter suppression legislation being put forth in states across the country he will win.

how this representative democracy allows a single party to decide what happens without any input from the People? They just blithely go around passing legislation geared toward screwing over anyone who isn't a Repub.

Yeah, they will say that they can't win without running tRump, and our country as we know it will be over, if he wins. We are in for a lot of headaches and some nasty campaigning, so stock up on your tylenol and have your viewing policies thought out in advance.

One thing at a time. We have to do well at the Midterms. tRump is a wannabe dictator, and he has to be defeated. I know it's wrong, but I wanna see him drop dead. Maybe he will die before 2024, all from eating junk food.

Biden/Harris won the election. All those sycophant Repubs know it. And, still they kneel in front of him...for what? Oh, he's connected to the mob. They are chickenshit pollies who don't have any brains or spines.
