Summary

Sen. Mitch McConnell warned that Donald Trump’s presidency places Americans in a “very, very dangerous world,” likening Trump’s isolationist policies to pre-World War II “America First” rhetoric.

McConnell, a staunch interventionist, criticized the GOP’s growing resistance to U.S. global engagement, particularly Trump’s stance on reducing aid to Ukraine.

While he voted for Trump in November, McConnell expressed concerns over Trump’s influence and the party’s direction.

Recently stepping down as Senate GOP leader, McConnell plans to focus his final term on countering isolationism within his party.

    I mean, based on those supreme court ruling, Biden would be able to just ‘remove’ the conservative justices and have trump and his co-conspirators tried for treason by the military as an official act due to national security concerns. The judges would have to take their case to the supreme court that they would no longer be sitting on. The most reasonable ruling would be that due to the previous precident that was just set, Biden would have immunity for that official act, and so he violated no law/precident at the time, but that moving forward presidents would not be immune from prosecution. The judges are still out of the SC, and Trump wouldn’t be president. Declare martial law until a new election can be held and pack the court with recess appointments before the next election.

    Given that Trump is a massive national security concern, and has previously requested that our advisaries interfere with our elections, as well as personally interfering with our elections, oh and he also paid for the travel and hotel rooms of the main organizers of the January 6th Insurrection, which would definitely be considered providing material support to people trying to overthrow the US government.

    The people who were worried about violence if Trump lost don’t seem to really understand the gravity of whats happening. There was always going to be violence
