In response to Jill Stein's pied piper antics there. She should show that Trump is backing Christian Nationalists that want to make Christianity the official religion and endanger non-christian religions in America, and that Trump wants to reinstate the muslim travel ban and set back the pro-palestinian movement about "25 to 30 years" and that she's the only one that will stand up to the separation between church and state.
See this video for context about the Christian Nationalist danger:

I have a better idea. How about people in the US be concerned about the shit storm that would come to the US if Trump were elected. How about they give a shit about their female and LGBTQ neighbours? Or is that bridge too far?

(18 posts)If you read up on Trump's inner circle, and the histories and recent statements of Project 2025 Architects and Implementers, their plans target several Democratic nations. Trump's group is directly aligned to Putin. Putin's and Xi's goals have never changed from their pact 2/2022 and, consider Putin's attack/Genocide on Ukraine, which was unprovoked immediately after that RUS/China pact.
Read Erik Prince's recent role in Israel's genocide on Gaza; Prince's plans to colonize South Africa and Latin America, Prince's role in providing/training Putin's Orcs/Wagner Group to commit WC/Genocide on innocent Ukrainian civilians. Trump's inner circle is not only implementing violent private wars, they imply (via Trump's campaign for President and GOP lawmakers) that their violent private wars are a "product of USA," via GOP. This does not reflect the intent of the American People. They're doing it anyway. No one has made them accountable. Ever.
I totally agree with you that Harris has held powerful people accountable in the past, but no leader has ever taken Trump seriously when Oliver North, Barr and Erik Prince proposed Trump's Private CIA in 2017, for Trump's personal agenda. There was absolutely no oversight to that plan; plus no Congressional oversight. It is assumed they've been using US resources/intel for Trump's personal agenda for about 7 years, and obviously, they have to be receiving other funding via Putin/China (& possibly via Leonard Leo's $'s pipeline).
Trump should never have been allowed to engage in private wars, or aid foes of USA (like China & Russia), which Trump's inner circle have, repeatedly.
Now, US citizens/voters are stuck in the spot of voting for leaders who've (for the past 7 years) implemented Wars against voter's wishes, or official Congress approval. This, to me, is why it is so relevant and concerning that John Bolton told ICC and US allies in 2018 that no Dictator should be prosecuted/charged for war crimes/genocide, and then 7/2024, SCOTUS 6 echoed that with their ruling Trump was immune for official acts.
USA needs to stop enabling Genocide. Plus, if the Biden Admin. (or Harris campaign) does not agree to the constant mercenary, paramilitary action Trump's mob has been taking around the World these past 7 years, they need to put an immediately stop/cut funding of Trump's/Prince's private wars for Dictators. Seize their funding bank accounts, if nothing else.
We all know where this is headed "if an arm of our Federal Gov't. is repeatedly allowed to fund/aid in Genocide against many countries." It means we are no longer a Democracy, and we can no longer count on USA's allies/NATO for support, (or even our own neighbors/Americans). We would become a Dictatorship tied to Dictators if that continues.
I don't know about anyone else, but I emphatically want to live in a Democracy.

(18 posts)Great idea.
But dark, secret funding in key places also needs to be stopped. Feds need to intervene (for once).
I know I've talked a lot about the threat of Knights of Malta (KoM), as a mercenary, Paramilitary group being the majority of Trump's inner circle, and Project 2025. But this group is, and has always been anti-Muslim and pro Genocide.
If you look at an Org Chart of Trump's Mob, putting Leonard Leo, Koch Bros., Alito, Roberts at the top over Trump/GOP, and consider how their dark, secret funding funds most everything happening (or going to happen) to reverse human rights and dismantle our Govt., it makes it easier to see that funding to Trump's Mob needs to be stopped. Leo/Koch Bros./Alito/Roberts are all known high-ranking KoM's in USA.
One example of KoM's abilities to reverse all human rights (including Muslims) is KoM Erik Prince.
1. He has said recently he is advising Israeli's on how to commit Genocide on Palestinians/Muslims, such as flooding underground tunnels where people are trying to hide.
2. People may remember Prince's ongoing Genocides over decades, (e.g.,
a. Russia's Genocide on Syria,
b. Setting up training, security and AI on China's concentration camps for Uyghur's,
c. Training and providing mercenaries for Putin/Wagner group to rape, torture and execute innocent civilians in Ukraine,
d. 2024 Prince also said he is planning to "colonize" both South Africa, and Latin American, presumably with Trump/KoM funding/power, and
e. Prince is an expert in training others to execute/assassinate civilians and leaders, including via drone).
The World, and USA have never made Erik Prince (or Joseph Schmitz) accountable, which empowers them to continue.
Most all of Trump's inner circle, or Architects/Implementers of Project 2025 have similar abilities and intent as Erik Prince. Plus, most all have been Knights of Malta for decades. This includes Leonard Leo (high-ranking KoM), Alito, Roberts, John Bolton (coup planner/Dictator/immunity maker), Joe Allbaugh (plans to round up/criminalize homeless), Joseph Schmitz (similar background to/works with Erik Prince), etc. Note: All of these people are in the far-right GOP extremist faction.
Historically, KoM has always been anti-Muslim, and they have bolstered their intent by heavily, continually inciting the MAGA Cult to also be anti-Muslim.
For these reasons, it is my observation that the funding (via Leonard Leo's shell cos.) must be shut down immediately, because they (Leonard Leo's/Trump's group) have apparently, recently diverted funding that had been going to GOP campaign to now the violent, coup/Genocide arm of Mike Flynn & Ivan Raiklin (through shell cos. that use funds like Donors Trust). Flynn & Raiklin are publicly known part of this GOP group. They all are tied directly to Russia/Putin.
