Marc Elias response to trump's threats:

Donald Trump is desperate because he is going to lose this election. Let me be clear:

We won't let Donald Trump intimidate us.
We won't let him suppress the vote.
We won't let him subvert the election.
We won't let him cheat.

but I've never heard the term evil keel, which is in your post, so I thought maybe it was a typo.

Sun Sep 8, 2024, 02:22 PM
Sep 2024

The phrase "on an even keel" has nautical origins and has been used figuratively since the mid-1800s. It refers to keeping a ship's keel level, which ensures a smooth sail. The term has come to mean that someone or something is progressing steadily and smoothly, without any sudden changes. For example, "She had the knack of keeping us on an even keel in any emergency"

https://www.dictionary.com/browse/on-an-even-keel



I make my share of grammatical errors, misspellings, and typos, but this isn't one of them... Oops... I did have a typo. Corrected, thanks.

Instead of typing keel, I typed keep, which makes less sense than anything posted here.

if he is elected. Are half the country really ok with that? I know his base has fallen for his election lies, but the Independents? Undecideds? Moderate Republicans? Are they ok with prosecutions and jail sentences for everybody Trump doesn't like (which covers a lot of people) based on no evidence?

Why is it even a race? Are voters asleep?

its just a matter of who he goes for first and how far he goes. He also turns allies into enemies at an amazing rate. Remember Night of the Long Knives? Do we think this is beyond Trump?

15. Comments Steve Bannon once made about Marc Elias.
Sun Sep 8, 2024, 03:26 PM
Sep 2024

[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marc_Elias|

During a December 2021 episode of his "War Room" podcast, former Trump strategic advisor Steve Bannon said, "One thing about Marc Elias, he's pure evil, but, man, that brother is smart, tough. He's crazy, but he's a fighter, and I admire fighters."


The parts about Marc being "evil" and "crazy" are Steve Bannon projecting. It's Steve and his far-right allies who are evil and crazy.

The point is that even a rightwing sociopath like Steve Bannon can perceive that Marc Elias is smart, tough, and a fighter.

election according to that state's laws. TSF is the one who can't stand up to Constitutional scrutiny. He couldn't abide by the oath of office he took.

He doesn't use Constitutional scrutiny in this tweet -- I was recalling a statement he made during a rally or to an interviewer, where he termed it Constitutional scrutiny. Sorry to misquote the above tweet.

That's who Trump is: if I lose, it's rigged, if I win, it's real and everyone should accept it. That's what a 2 year old says. I am so sick of his whininess and his immaturity. It is appalling and disgusting that a GAM should act this way.

Some more obvious Stephen Miller lines…’the fullest extent of the Law’…’ this Depravity of Justice’…’devolve into a Third World Nation’…’Please be aware that this legal exposure extends to’…’unscrupulous behavior’… Plus, despite an abundance of capital letters, there still aren’t enough to qualify as a genuine TSF post.
