All these hollow promises and predictions of a triumphant Trump return are a pathetic attempt to stay relevant with his base. The more times these pedictions turn out to be false and the more times Trumplican hopes are dashed, the less enthused they'll be. It might work for a couple of months, but eventually reality wiil sink in. This time next year, nobody will be saying Trump will magically turn out to have been president all along and will be back in office.

Let's get organized, people.

Political Mad Libs! Whoo hoo!

Quote

WASHINGTON — Former President Donald Trump has discontinued his short-lived blog.

"It was just auxiliary to the broader efforts we have [been] and are working on,” Trump adviser Jason Miller said in confirming the decision to scrap "From the Desk of Donald J. Trump." The news was first reported by CNBC.

...

The blog offered an outlet for Trump to post his thoughts publicly after he was banned from many social media platforms. But after he launched it in early May, Internet traffic tracking showed that it wasn't getting much traction.

No one wants to read his ramblings, so he's taking himself on tour to get his stroking, I guess.

Ewwwww could’ve done without that mental imagery.  I wonder if he did it over fears of incriminating himself through his blog.  At any rate the blog probably didn’t get him off as much as Twitter did (and I apologize for that mental image).

I hope you are right, but I don't know. Trumpism is a cult, and just like any other cult, no matter how many times the leader lies, the cultists keep following him. Trumpists think they are following a prophet of God, when they follow Trump, and the have way to much invested to turn back. I just hope Trumpism will become a minority cult over time.

Oh, I agree that they are a cult, and that they will keep following him. But after a couple of months of hopes dashed that he'll be reinstated some way, some how, the talk will change into his chances of winning in 2024.

Seth Abramson has an interesting (concerning) take on OFM's August date. Some comments allude to 4th of July shenanigans. The rest is under the spoiler.

"Trump is more obsessed than ever with 2020 election and is brushing off allies who are telling him to move on"

Quote

(CNN)Donald Trump is more obsessed than ever with the 2020 election and pushing his lie that there was widespread fraud that led to his defeat, according to several former advisers and allies still close to the former Republican President.

Some of the people around Trump are telling him that he should move on from fighting over the campaign and instead focus on policies. But the former President is most focused on the people encouraging him to continue drawing attention to the issue.

Trump is listening to "the bottom of the bottom of the crazies in the barrel," one former adviser told CNN.

Trump's obsession with 2020 has sharply divided the Republican Party, pitting those who embrace the "big lie" against those who have debunked the former President's falsehoods about the election -- which has often led to them being punished or denounced. More broadly, his attempts to undermine the legitimacy of the results threatens American democracy and has already led some of his GOP supporters to openly question the integrity of the US electoral process.

Trump continues to tout partisan-led efforts like the so-called audit of Maricopa County ballots in Arizona, which will not change the outcome of the results in the state that Joe Biden carried by more than 10,000 votes.

Trump has been asking advisers in recent weeks if he could somehow reassume the presidency this year after listening to farfetched suggestions from conservative commentators and allies, a well-placed source familiar with the conversations confirmed to CNN.

"What do you think of this theory," Trump has asked people close to him, the source said, adding that advisers have attempted to persuade the former President that there is zero chance he will return to power this year.

"People have told him that it's not true," the source said.

The source went on to say it's unlikely Trump now believes he could be reinstated as president, following his conversations with his advisers.

"I don't think he thinks in his heart of hearts that it's going to happen," the source said.

However, the source said it appears Trump continues to hold on to the hope he could return to power through some other means, outside of the election process.

"It's very dangerous," the source said.

The Washington Post reported Wednesday that Trump is "increasingly consumed" with the idea that the partisan ballot reviews in Arizona and other states could prove that he won the 2020 election and has recently suggested to some allies that the audit results could put him back in the White House.

Far-right personalities, such as MyPillow founder Mike Lindell, have claimed Trump could somehow be reinstated as president, if state election audits could upend the 2020 results.

Lindell, who takes credit for the idea of Trump's reinstatement, confirmed to CNN that he has spoken with the former President in recent weeks.

According to Lindell, Trump called the pillow salesman after an appearance on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!"

Since leaving office, Trump, who remains the most influential figure in the GOP and shares strong support among the Republican base, has made limited public appearances and has been banned from social media platforms Twitter and Facebook. He plans to reemerge to address the North Carolina Republican Party's state convention this weekend.

But instead of focusing on helping his party make gains in 2022, Trump has taken to recounting his grievances and debunked claims about 2020. In his televised interviews with right-wing media outlets, Trump has continued to tease a potential White House bid in 2024 but also play into false beliefs from some of his supporters that he'll be reinstated as president.

The false narratives about the 2020 election stoked Trump supporters to storm the US Capitol on January 6 and are now creating concern on Capitol Hill that they could incite further violence.

QAnon conspiracy theorists and Trump-supporting online forums have promoted the dangerous suggestion that a military coup like the one in Myanmar should occur in the US so Trump can be reinstated as president in the coming months.

At an event in Dallas last Sunday, Michael Flynn, Trump's former national security adviser, appeared to support a Myanmar-style coup but later claimed he hadn't endorsed any such action.

Flynn's lawyer Sidney Powell, who repeatedly pushed baseless theories about the 2020 election, also appeared at the event and said Trump should be "simply reinstated" and that a "new inauguration day is set."

As this is Trump we are talking about, I actually can understand why Trump is so obsessed, beyond any reason. Trump simply can't stand to lose. Losing the election must have been the biggest loss he has ever had to endure. And so very, very publicly at that. So I totally get why he wants to see that loss overthrown, or overshadowed by a triumphant return to glory-- by any means necessary. Nothing will go to far for him if it means he gets what he wants.

This is Trump at his most dangerous. The coming months will show if he manages to get a coup staged for him. If he succeeds or not will not mitigate the fact that there will be terrible consequences for America either way. Democracy has never been in danger of failing as much as it is right now.

Facebook has announced that Trump will continue to be suspended for two years from the original suspension date.

"In Response to Oversight Board, Trump Suspended for Two Years; Will Only Be Reinstated if Conditions Permit"

Spoiler

Last month, the Oversight Board upheld Facebook’s suspension of former US President Donald Trump’s Facebook and Instagram accounts following his praise for people engaged in violence at the Capitol on January 6. But in doing so, the board criticized the open-ended nature of the suspension, stating that “it was not appropriate for Facebook to impose the indeterminate and standardless penalty of indefinite suspension.” The board instructed us to review the decision and respond in a way that is clear and proportionate, and made a number of recommendations on how to improve our policies and processes.

We are today announcing new enforcement protocols to be applied in exceptional cases such as this, and we are confirming the time-bound penalty consistent with those protocols which we are applying to Mr. Trump’s accounts. Given the gravity of the circumstances that led to Mr. Trump’s suspension, we believe his actions constituted a severe violation of our rules which merit the highest penalty available under the new enforcement protocols. We are suspending his accounts for two years, effective from the date of the initial suspension on January 7 this year.

At the end of this period, we will look to experts to assess whether the risk to public safety has receded. We will evaluate external factors, including instances of violence, restrictions on peaceful assembly and other markers of civil unrest. If we determine that there is still a serious risk to public safety, we will extend the restriction for a set period of time and continue to re-evaluate until that risk has receded.

When the suspension is eventually lifted, there will be a strict set of rapidly escalating sanctions that will be triggered if Mr. Trump commits further violations in future, up to and including permanent removal of his pages and accounts.

In establishing the two year sanction for severe violations, we considered the need for it to be long enough to allow a safe period of time after the acts of incitement, to be significant enough to be a deterrent to Mr. Trump and others from committing such severe violations in future, and to be proportionate to the gravity of the violation itself.

We are grateful that the Oversight Board acknowledged that our original decision to suspend Mr. Trump was right and necessary, in the exceptional circumstances at the time. But we absolutely accept that we did not have enforcement protocols in place adequate to respond to such unusual events. Now that we have them, we hope and expect they will only be applicable in the rarest circumstances.

We know that any penalty we apply — or choose not to apply — will be controversial. There are many people who believe it was not appropriate for a private company like Facebook to suspend an outgoing President from its platform, and many others who believe Mr. Trump should have immediately been banned for life. We know today’s decision will be criticized by many people on opposing sides of the political divide — but our job is to make a decision in as proportionate, fair and transparent a way as possible, in keeping with the instruction given to us by the Oversight Board.

Of course, this penalty only applies to our services — Mr. Trump is and will remain free to express himself publicly via other means. Our approach reflects the way we try to balance the values of free expression and safety on our services, for all users, as enshrined in our Community Standards. Other social media companies have taken different approaches — either banning Mr. Trump from their services permanently or confirming that he will be free to resume use of their services when conditions allow.

Hopefully fuck nut will be in prison by then and they’ll find that it’s too big of a chance that he’ll use it to instruct his cultists to act out again.

TLD is a Top Level Domain.  It's the com part of the web address.  Like freejinger.com or google.com.  Traditionally it was things like .com .net .org. .edu .gov .us and so on.  It's really been expanded out the past few years so there's close to 500 active ones now.
