  5.  @SymphonicEllen  When Hillary Clinton lost the election to Donald Trump, if she had encouraged her followers to attack the Capitol the way Donald encouraged his followers to attack the Capitol when he lost the election to Joe Biden, do you think Donald would not have wanted Hillary to be incarcerated (or maybe worse) for her crime against the government over which Donald suddenly ruled supreme? If Hillary had even dared to rock Donald's boat as the new President, we don't know for certain what Donald (with his new and impressive sense of ultimate power) would have done to Hillary, but we should know that it would not have been at all good FOR Hillary. When Donald was President , he fired every Republican that DARED to disagree with him, and he will do it again ... in a heartbeat ... if he gets the chance. In total contrast to Donald’s erratic and dictatorial behavior, was the striking message from the honorable Republican Ronald Reagan when he was leaving the office as President, “We must always remember that our strength lies in our respect for the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, and our determination to preserve it for our children and their children.” If Donald becomes President again … his first JOB will be to do away with the Constitution and with any news media outlet that expresses a negative word against his erratic behavior. And he WILL create … “The Law According to Donald Trump” … as THAT is his aim. Guaranteed … you won’t be in support of his bullish behavior then.

  6.  @SymphonicEllen  Donald only cared about your vote. He didn't care one iota about YOU. If he cared about his followers, he would have wanted to PROTECT THEM from being incarcerated ... rather than encouraging them to break the law that he KNEW would cause them to be incarcerated ... and have a record ... for attacking the Capitol. Do you think that Donald CARES about the harm he caused them? Do you think he visits them in prison, and thanks them for their support Several of Donald Trump’s followers were incarcerated for their involvement in the January 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol. Here are a few notable cases: John Sullivan, also known as “Jayden X,” was convicted on numerous charges, including felony obstruction of an official proceeding and civil disorder. He sought to “incite violence” and “foment anarchy” during the attack. Sullivan had different political beliefs and was perhaps the only defendant who showed up at the Capitol despite not subscribing to the goals of the protest. He received a six-year prison sentence. A Trump supporter assaulted law enforcement officers with a Trump flag and used a giant Trump billboard as a battering ram during the Capitol riot. This individual was sentenced to 46 months in prison. Another Trump supporter, who attacked officers while wearing a “MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN” sweatshirt, received a 12-year federal prison sentence. In total, nearly 1,000 individuals involved in the Capitol riot have been convicted or pleaded guilty. These cases highlight the legal consequences faced by those who participated in the violent events on that day.

  7. If Donald Trump happens to win the next election … his first plan would be to demolish the United States Constitution … and make all laws into the laws according to Donald Trump. The first President George Washington (to put the power into the hands of the voters) … GAVE UP HIS CHANCE to be voted in again as President. George Washington was an honorable man in the sense of making certain that Presidents were not allowed to stay in office their whole lives, because had that occurred, Presidents would probably all have been uncontrol able, unapproachable dictators, prone to handing off the Presidency to their heirs … making the United States a complete dictatorship. From the book … Washington: The Indispensable Man … author … James Thomas Flexner “During the election, however, Washington adhered to his highest principles. The stakes, he felt, were much higher than any partisanship, so high that risks would have to be taken concerning what would happen after the hand was played. He saw the election as a potential demonstration to all the world that republican institutions were, in their purity, viable. He was, indeed, personally establishing a precedent that extended the Constitution. Despite much discussion of the issue, that document had not limited the number of terms a President could serve. The establishment of the Vice Presidency permitted succession in the monarchical manner: the President, again and again re-elected if he pleased the people, would be, on his death, succeeded by his preestablished heir. Even Jefferson, during his period of closeness with Washington, had been content with the thought that the first President would serve out his lifetime. But Washington wished the succession to be determined, in an absolutely republican manner, by the ballot box. This would be the culmination of his own career, his final gift to the world. Perhaps it was Washington’s realization of his own tremendous power that made him feel that if he intervened in an election he would prevent the people from making their own choice. In any case, he adhered to the resolution he had made when lesser offices were in the balance that he would play absolutely no role in the election. He had no intention of being publicly identified with either the Republicans or the Federalists. Although he believed that Jefferson had betrayed him personally and might well betray the nation of France, the old hero made absolutely no move to block Jefferson’s road to the Presidency. The Federalist candidate, John Adams, won, but, owing to a confusion in the Federalist vote for Vice President, Jefferson came into that office. Washington made no recorded comment. The precedent Washington established, that a President should retire after two terms, held until it was breached by Franklin Delano Roosevelt. It was then formally written into the Constitution.”
