    How was this meeting not a violation of the Logan Act?

      It was, as was his meeting with Orban. But as we’ve seen many times, trump is apparently immune to prosecution.

        I loath Trump but he isn’t the only president to get special privileges, he just sucks at covering it up or he doesn’t care.

    Trump is already resembling Maduro, making threats if he loses the election.

      He said the same thing about Hillary. He said the same thing about Biden.

        Yeah remember when he lost to Biden and then nothing happened and he and his supporters participated in a completely peaceful transfer of power just like normal?

          I’m pretty sure that WWIII didn’t then follow that event, which is the point. Trump has been consistently saying a nuclear war will happen if you don’t elect him since 2016.

            Very true. I personally think electing Trump is probably more likely to lead to an escalation of global tensions.

              Yep: we already saw how his placation of Putin likely led to the invasion of Ukraine, and his recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel for sure pumped up Netanyahu and his coalition.

    I 100% refuse to agree that a candidate asshole like Trump should have access ever again to top secret information. Specially when they are not president yet, and hopefully won’t be.

      It’s opposite day in Trump world, again. What he means is that if he wins the election and allows Russia to win in Ukraine as he absolutely will, the Baltics and Taiwan are next, probably simultaneously so that NATO is overwhelmed and the whole world is forced into this century’s first world war.

      • @Mirshe

        But of course, he will spin this as “fostering peace” with China and Russia, because presidents who don’t simply Art of the Deal their way out of wars (read: selling off countries that aren’t theirs) are losers. The whole “oh no we’re in a war now” thing will be studiously avoided until the next election, or at least the US getting involved in such a war, because then it’s some other sucker’s problem.

    Maybe a wannabe second civil war. The third world war will come when he gets into the white house.

      They’ll use legal mechanisms like civil asset forfeiture and “crime free housing” to continue going after people they don’t like. They can kick you out of your home and then take your kids away for it and then send them to a religious orphanage or foster family where they will be forced to work.
