Summary

Mike Davis, a Trump adviser and possible nominee for attorney general, issued a threatening warning to New York Attorney General Letitia James, who sued Trump for business fraud, not to continue her legal actions against him in his second term, threatening to put her in prison.

Davis’s inflammatory remarks, including personal insults, come as James has vowed to defend Americans against any unconstitutional actions by the new administration.

Known for his extreme rhetoric, Davis has previously suggested punishing journalists and Trump’s political opponents harshly, though it’s often unclear when he’s serious.

Trump has hinted at a significant role for Davis in his administration.

    Kamala was not selected in any kind of primary, she was forced onto us when Joe Bidens stupid ass decided to run for reelection when he’s already got one foot in the grave and inevitably had to back down.

    Do I really have to explain to you that primaries exist for a reason? Are we gonna sit here and debate on whether primaries are important for a healthy election? Am I gonna have to explain that to you sir? She lost the popular vote by FIVE FUCKING MILLION MAN!!!

      Really, are we going to play that game for the next 4 years? There was no time for a primary (after Biden stepped down, because I’ve already had this conversation). They needed to get on the campaign trail asap.

        Yeah that’s kind of literally my point. Biden shouldn’t have tried to run at all

        And actually if you look closely I explicitly, unambiguously stated this in my comment here:

        “Kamala was not selected in any kind of primary, she was forced onto us when Joe Bidens stupid ass decided to run for reelection when he’s already got one foot in the grave and inevitably had to back down.

          Forget it. Your interlocutor will never admit that the Democratic Party is capable of fucking up as badly as we all just saw.

              So, what policies should Democrats abandon in their next attempt to lose by simping for Republicans like they did this time?

          “not selected in any kind of primary, she was forced onto us” sounds very much like you wanted a primary after Biden stepped down. I really don’t think I’m the odd one out hearing it like that.

            Yeah that’s because you’re backspacing the part of my quote where I call a Biden a dumbass for attempting a run at all. You literally backspaced the part that I put in bold for emphasis. I’m done with this

              Seriously? That still sounds like you want a primary after he stepped down, it didn’t change anything - especially when you say forced. You don’t want forced? Sounds like you want a primary after he stepped down.

              I think we all wanted him to step down early and have a real first primary. That’s not the misunderstanding, which is whether a primary should have taken place after Biden stepped down.

      Our primaries are a joke anyway. The DNC put their thumb on the scale for Clinton in 2016 and the same for Biden in 2020.

      Biden actually claimed victory after the 3rd primary which was South Carolina.

      How did that work out in the General?

      https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_United_States_presidential_election_in_South_Carolina

      Donald J. Trump - 1,385,103 - 55.11%
      Joe Biden - 1,091,541 - 43.43%

      Yeah, real bastion of Democratic support that South Carolina… Last voted Democratic in 1976… and only then because a Georgian was running. They didn’t even stick with him in the next election.
