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.

    Ah, we’re still in the blame everyone phase of the defeat aren’t we.

    Usually when you lose a popularity contest the thing to do is ask what the other side did better, not blame everyone else for being wrong.

    I voted for Harris. Biden and Clinton 2 - at the time they were the least bad option of the two presented. That wasn’t enough for a lot of people and we should probably start trying to understand why.

      The other side did propaganda, lies, and criminal activity better.

        The other side did propaganda, lies, and criminal activity better.

        So learn what messages the public wants to hear, it’s obviously not “we’ll keep doing what we’ve been doing.” Maybe take a different tack with the propaganda instead of “you should be ashamed we weren’t elected”

      Clearly we didn’t move to the right enough or scream enough abuse at the left.

        Surely if we just shame our supporters harder we’ll win next time
