And money derives from concentrated power. They are all in.

If he gets elected he will do his purge of ALL the news media personalities and reporters and kill or jail them.

The prison industrial complex will multiply like crazy when he starts imprisoning his perceived enemies.

After watching the documentary yesterday Night and Fog on TCM about concentration camps I am becoming more scared as we get closer to the election.

I’m dead meat because I have posted a ton of negative stuff about him on Facebook. And probably on an enemies list somewhere.

not hitting back hard enough.
In fact,I posted as much a while back.

Carville had the nickname ole snakehead.

Well, I'd like to see some fangs out before the day of reckoning.

If you're not ruthless,your toothless.
(Heard that on Young Sheldon,recently.)

I think the news media is wearing some very serious blinkers, because they expect that a second Trump term will be like the first. It won't.

One of the things that I think Trump has learned is that he doesn't have time to waste, which is why, despite having full control of the House and the Senate at the start of his first term, he was particularly ineffective. He was also trying to at least pretend to be president, even if he failed spectacularly at it.

What he has learned since then is that his political opponents have teeth and are not afraid to use them. Keeping out of jail is no longer the objective - he knows that in four years, he will be in exactly the same position he's in today even if he manages to pardon himself.

My expectation is that he goes full dictator. He has a list of political opponents as well as people currently serving time (Steve Bannon for instance) and they will be out free within a week of his regaining the office. He will use his revitalized forces to begin a campaign of bombings against news media, always deniable but enough so that the message becomes clear - say nothing but the sweetest words about Hair Fuhrer, or your studios are next. We'll have one crisis after another, each of which is intended to cow or eliminate the competition outright. He will purge the military, run a terror campaign against judges, then find one reason or another to arrest anyone for the crime of being liberal. University faculty will undergo "ideology reviews", and those that have even vaguely leftish leanings will be terminated, regardless of tenure. I'm guessing that controls will be placed on the Internet, and that he will push for laws that will make it illegal for women to vote or hold political office. He will also push (with some success) to create a blanket discretionary fund under his and only his control, as a prelude to taking full control of the government taxation system.

He will go overboard, of course - Trump has no filters, and will eventually overreach before there will be an assassination attempt that doesn't miss, but until then he will do an incredible amount of damage.

He already considered himself above the law, but now that the Supreme Court has made that official, there will be nothing to restrain his worst instincts.

It stopped being journalism a long times ago.

James Carville is part of the problem. IMHO.

They are afraid of donOLD getting into office and going after them. I'm not excusing them.

They give people the idea that Trump is kidding and the Dems are hyperventilating over nothing. The fact that most of his officials from his first term think he's not kidding should be a clue. The fact that Darth - Dick Chaney himself is out there should be a clue.

Carville will probably be back to non-stop shitting on Harris/Walz, no later than tomorrow morning.

With "friends" like him...

if they think they will escape Trump's brutishness if he wins, they're wrong. They won't. I hate them. With few exceptions, they have lost me forever. And I don't think I am alone.

They hi9re very smart analysts to try to "read the room" as accurately as they can, and try to tailor their programming to conform to their audience. If their audience is dumb, and their advertisers do well tailoring their ads to the dumb, then they do well, making money for themselves and their advertisers.

It is the (unfortunately) very successful) right wing media who is responsible for the dumbing down of the American public, along with Republican state governments, school boards and (anti-)education secretaries (like Trump's DeVos) who oversee the dumbing down of our children, or, at least, try to. Republicans can't make us all stupid, but they CAN try to make us all ignorant.

That Carville has said some things that pissed me off, but he turned out to be right. But he's also pissed me off WITHOUT being right.

He starts out with "Listen up Broiles" My initial response is "fuck off". I now just hit delete.

with himself as the absolute supreme ruler

It doesn't deserve any coverage because Kamala has hurt their fee-fees by not giving them all interviews. That's how childish they seem.
