Seth Abramson is live-tweeting the traitor's fury-rally now

[Grasswire2]

Here's a link to unrolled thread, easy to read.

Donald Trump just called Joe Biden an "enemy of the state" at his rally.

He did this in the first 120 seconds of his speech.

I assume the U.S. Secret Service will investigate?

[Grasswire2]

1. more at the link. Here's one.

This is, quite simply, a speech intended to incite domestic terrorists to kill FBI agents and members of the Biden administration. It is shocking that there are no legal consequences for Incitement anymore. Trump has just now called the legal search of Mar-a-Lago an "assault."

[OAITW r.2.0]

5. Trump has no cards to play.

The losers that gravitate to his clown show don't count. No one is uprising for Donald Trump.

[wnylib]

47. And you know this because...?

[OAITW r.2.0]

49. Panic if you will....I'm not.

[wnylib]

53. ?? Panic is your word, not mine.

I just asked how you know that Trump's call for violence will fail.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

45. Brandenburg V Ohio.

Trump is getting close to the line

[Grasswire2]

2. more

Trump says "we [his MAGA followers] have no choice" but to orchestrate "a backlash the likes of which no one has ever seen before" because the Democrats are trying to "destroy" America and have constituted a tyrannical government. Everything he is saying bespeaks future violence.
Trump now says that the search of Mar-a-Lago was a violent attack on the "hopes and dreams" of everyone who voted for him in 2020—a number (I kid you not) he estimated in his speech could be as high as 225 million people (about 150 million Americans in *total* voted in 2020).
Trump has just told more lies about the Trump-Russia scandal in four minutes than I have ever seen him tell.

(Just a reminder, here, that Donald Trump colluded with the Kremlin *repeatedly* during the 2016 campaign, and then obstructed all attempts to investigate his collusion.)
Trump's rhetoric is impossible to follow. He says that by January 2021 he'd saved America—making the nation stronger than it'd ever been in 240 years. But his salvation was *also* apparently so shoddy that a man he deems addled was able to *destroy* all he did in months. Uh...?🤪

[Grasswire2]

8. and on...

[crickets]

15. He's calling for civil war.

It seems he thinks that, somehow, the mayhem caused may be his last hope to evade justice.

This is all but an open invitation, skating right up to the edge without going over, but anyone can tell what he's talking about. What else could "a backlash the likes of which no one has ever seen before" mean, especially followed by the hateful ramblings and lies about election fraud and Biden?

[SergeStorms]

38. Making the nation stronger than it's been....

in 240 years has to be the biggest lie he's ever told. There have been tens of thousands of lies by Trump in the past 7 years, but that one has to rate in the top 10, at the very least. 🙄

He's totally out of his mind now. He needs to be involuntarily committed to a soundproof rubber-room immediately.

[vlyons]

3. He's getting meaner and nastier

Downright vicious. A truly evil man. Surely normal human beings are disgusted with him. He, my friends, is the perfect example of what Biden was talking about.

[calguy]

10. He's cornered and he knows it.

[Cha]

23. Yeah like a cornered

Rabid Large 🐀 only the size of an Elephant

[Justice matters.]

60. So cornered that nobody goes to arrest him for endangering National Security. n/t

[calimary]

39. And scarier.

Considering the madness that his followers are damn near drunk with by now, I worry what at least a few of the most extreme ones will resort to, if they get desperate enough.

[onetexan]

58. It's pure domestic terrorism. Nothing was done to stop during the obama years

& the Con co-opted it for his usurpation. It's not going to go away or dir down easily given their numbers and availability of arms. This is a danger the country w need to fight till the MAGAts crawl back to the woodworks.

[jmbar2]

4. Just watched some of it

What's striking to me is how fluid and masterful he is at throwing out plausible sounding, but wrong facts. I have been assuming he's not that bright, but have changed my mind. He is really good at demagoguing and inciting. Rapid-fire gish gallop of lies so thick that a full-time team would be needed to counter them. No wonder his fans don't question anything.

He's also priming the pump for accusations of election fraud if Mastriano loses.

[Arazi]

32. Yup. Never underestimate him

I remember watching one of his 2016 rallies and feeling slightly ill, I instinctively understood how he had mastered techniques designed to draw in the aggrieved white folks.

I was really worried he might win after watching him just once in 2016

[Bernardo de La Paz]

34. He is clever. Clever with media and Other People's Money. But so unwise as to be stupid. . . . nt

[Earth-shine]

36. He knows his audience. To them, he hits all the right notes.

[Random Boomer]

55. He focuses his smarts on what matters to him

Overall, my dog isn't all that bright. But when it comes to food and car rides, she turns into Einstein. I could swear the minute going for a drive crosses my mind, she wakes out of a deep sleep and bounds up, ready to keep me company.

What matters to Donald Trump is being the center of attention. It's his narcissistic fuel. And he's mastered the art of getting attention because this is central to his sense of well-being, it props up the hollow parts inside him. He will do or say anything, no holds barred, to hold an audience's attention. He's good at it, because he can't emotionally survive without it.

[vlyons]

56. grasping at self

In Buddhism, we call it grasping at self.

[onetexan]

57. He's feeding his rabid cult followers w the lies

Their weak minds are primed for lies. He knows it & manipulates them for his purposes.

[FalloutShelter]

6. That's e-fucking-nuff!

Arrest this traitor NOW. How much more are we supposed to excuse from this waste of skin?
He is openly foment revolution against the government! Time for him to STFU’
ENOUGH!

[Beachnutt]

7. Obviously he has something that he knows

is an ironclad blackmail tool to hold the fbi, doj and others at bay while he continues to destroy democracy in this country.
He has top secret intelligence set up as a blackmail tool or something equally damaging why else would he still be free ?

[doc03]

9. This guy knew how to do a rally, much bigger crowds

When I was in the Army in 1969 I stood on that podium where Hitler spoke.

[Bavorskoami]

27. 1969 I was there also.

At the time I was not very aware of history and political movements, but is was quite intense to stand there. (I was ASA stationed nearby at Herzo Base).
Edited to add: Thank goodness Trump is nowhere as near as competent as AH.

[doc03]

28. Yes as I remember you could just walk into the place, you could see where the

American tanks blew the swastika off the podium and above him on top of the stand. I saw newsreels of them
blasting them off. It was just left as it was after the war at that time anyway. I was stationed at the Pond
Barracks 2nd Armored Cavalry in Amberg. Our barracks are still there in Amberg but are now an apartment complex.
I have a picture of myself and my buddy doing the Nazi salute where Hitler stood. I better not run for president that
picture would not look so good now, I was 21 at the time. That would be a plus if I ran as a Republican though.

[calimary]

40. That had to be mind-blowing.

[dchill]

11. He'll be the first president ever indicted!

What more does he want!?

[Beachnutt]

13. Just as soon as he shoots someone

on fifth ave in broad daylight....

[kentuck]

33. But he would be a civilian when he is indicted...

An ex-president.

Not a president.

He should be treated as any other civilian. Commit espionage. Steal the secrets. Go to jail.

[dchill]

42. Well, yeah. Of course.

(Still a first. OBAMA never even got close!)

[Grasswire2]

12. Oy! Talking about a physical Dr. Oz gave him.

30. If you read up on what happens to the brain

when a set of illogical statements are threaded together you will see that the brain has an actual reaction.

The logical brain tries to make sense of gibberish if it is put into statements that are under the guise of rational. It is like a brain freeze of sorts. It is a chemical reaction and I think it is also related to what hypnotists use. Generally targeting weaker minds so to speak.

Apparently this is actually taught to politicians as well how to do this. But he is using it as if he were a Vegas act.

[AnotherMother4Peace]

37. Interesting. He's doing something to manipulate people/his cult. nt

Welcome to DU.

[scipan]

61. So I was trying to Converse with a MAGAt online and he told me to

watch this YouTube video. It was a series of declaratory, and far out, statements that were stated very fast. My logical brain couldn't keep up. I felt like it was short circuiting my thoughts so all I had was a series of feelings, mostly frustration.

I think it's a clue to how the brainwashing works.

[Takket]

14. and he won't get 1/100th of the "outrage" from the media that biden did for calling out magats

[gratuitous]

18. Bet the rent on that

[crickets]

22. Sadly true. nt

[Beachnutt]

16. Since our system of justice moves at a snails pace

when it comes to the rich can we just turn his ass over to the iranians ?

[Midnight Writer]

17. One word: rendition.

[Roland99]

19. I'm exhausted just reading his take

[Grasswire2]

20. more

He says he calls Xi "King"?
So now Trump, who says MAGA is resolutely anti-communist and anti-China, is advocating for the United States to mirror Communist China in its criminal justice system.

Like... how do the heads of the people at this rally not explode?
He now calls America a "killing field."

It appears that he asked aides to supply him with the goriest, most upsetting stories of innocent people being killed so he could get a shiver of pleasure from hearing them—oh, sorry, I mean "pretend that these are commonplace anecdotes."
He says his call to the Georgia SoS to try to steal the 2020 election was a "perfect call"—then attempts to laud cops while implying that maybe the ones at the Capitol on January 6 were "bad apples." Such a high-wire act for him, given that his pro-J6 movement now *hates* police.
Trump seems really upset by how Fetterman dresses, which is funny because Fetterman dresses *far* more like the average American than Trump or Oz or Mastriano (who I guess likes dressing as a Confederate soldier?)

Whoa—did he just falsely accuse Fetterman of being a drug addict?
He just slipped and admitted he lost Pennsylvania, then caught himself. Or, he didn't, not really, but all the cultists in the room will think he did.

I kid you not, this man who inherited $400 million from his dad is now attacking Fetterman for "leeching off his parents" (huh)?

[thenelm1]

43. Geez, how many times did his own dad bail him out of his financial fiascos while still alive? n/t

[Corgigal]

21. Someone needs to find

a tranquilizer rhino dart gun, and tag that ass.

We will be thankful.

[dchill]

24. Can't he be taken into protective custody?

I mean, he's a danger to himself and others!

[Farmer-Rick]

25. Not much of a crowd either

"He is literally *in* a building with empty seats throughout the upper deck and with a whole section behind him blocked off and empty and he's telling people who are *in the building with him* that the building is sold out and at capacity. Sociopathy? Psychopathy? I've lost track."

But not to worry all day tomorrow Fox will be playing edited tapes of his more rational ravings and photoshopped crowd size.

[Cha]

26. SHUT UP Fucking

FASCIST

[niyad]

29. Stroke out already, you F'n, murdering, orange TRAITOR**.

[Ford_Prefect]

35. He probably won't until the Judge reads out his sentence in open court. TLG is that far into denial.

[kentuck]

31. Donald J Trump v United States of America

Need you know more?

[keithbvadu2]

41. Any pictures of all the pro-Muslim shirts in the crowd?

Any pictures of all the pro-Muslim shirts in the crowd?

[Grasswire2]

44. Seth says they have SAD music cued up to influence the audience when he tells how picked on he is.

World's biggest whiner, performing for world's stupidest crowd.

[Ahpook]

46. This shit HAS to stop!

Trump in custody NOW!. If any of his shit eating followers want to start trouble? Blow there fucking asses up.

This is out of control!

[Alien Life Form]

48. Disgusted

I went to a You Tube video of this and they are mostly posting praise and love for him calling him the greatest ever and sent by God.
The people are fucking NUTS!

[2naSalit]

50. Somebody needs to be...

Prevented from any more public ranting.

[sarcasmo]

51. I want my documents back!

[Hermit-The-Prog]

52. Reading the whole thread made me worry about Abramson's safety.

[highplainsdem]

54. As insane and scary as Trump's speech was, the reaction from his

supporters on Twitter was scarier. They thought it was a wonderful speech, uplifting and unifying. One wrote that it gave her hope.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

59. Putin and his puppet need money. MAGAts are the bank.

Putin also wants the destruction of the U.S. so we can't stop him in Ukraine and elsewhere.
