This is what he would be saying in another term after killing SS, etc.

"Those lazy, shiftless Seniors. They want free Social Security and free this and, healhcare, and that and never, never do they do anything in return for it at all. You can see them selfishly lining the streets of our fine cities and towns and wandering around aimlessly, dirty, filthy, smelly, old people just making a mess. And, they are very dangerous and uncontrollable. People are telling me that they steal, rape and murder people very chance they get. We must stop this threat now as thousands and thousands of them infest my beautiful, bigly country.

"For that, I am signing, and I mean right now, signing the Senior Rest Camp Act and the Nutritional Rendering Act. We will clean them up for good, clean that filth off the streets, all of them. Put those lazy bums to work in our great centers, and if they can't work they can contribute to the food supply for millions of starving people that China took the food from them. Make America Edible Again!"

We haven't even seen the beginnings of the Roy Cohn playbook. There will be nonstop lies and pandering along with September surprises long before the October surprise. No such thing as a smooth ride with Biden always on offense.

It was always going to be much easier to deny this guy the presidency in the first place than to knock him out.

over the illegality of his actions. However, we also recognize that packed courts and a Republican Senate will most likely cause his illegality to continue. No one here has blinders on as to the extreme danger we are in. I've said this before...if the law is not enforced, there is no law. If the constitution is not enforced, there is no constitution. I think most of the members of this site recognize this.
