What Donald Trump said on July 27, 2024 before his Turning Point Action audience in relation to elections: “It’ll be fixed. It’ll be fine. You won’t have to vote anymore my beautiful Christians . . . in four years you don’t have to vote again, we’ll have it fixed so good you’re not going to have to vote.”

“Of particular concern is the decentralized nature of America’s election system. There are some 10,000 local voting jurisdictions throughout the U.S., including counties and townships, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.
“According to monitoring by NSFOCUS Global Threat Hunting System, since July 2024, during the U.S. election period, election-related websites, as well as sponsor websites like SpaceX and Blackstone, have frequently been targeted by DDoS attacks. Attackers have employed botnets and reflection amplification techniques, using various attack methods such as SYN Flood, UDP Flood, NTP reflection, DNS reflection, and CharGEN reflection. The attack infrastructure is primarily concentrated in North America and Europe, regions rich in network resources that are more easily exploited by attackers.” | NSFOCUS. “Behind the 2024 US Election Curtain: Cyberwar’s Silent Sabotage.” November 7, 2024 | https://nsfocusglobal.com/behind-the-2024-us-election-curtain-cyberwars-silent-sabotage/| https://nsfocusglobal.com/behind-the-2024-us-election-curtain-cyberwars-silent-sabotage/.
NSFOCUS’s CEO and COO have degrees from China. Their founding appears dated back to July 2024. I don’t know if they are managing American Federal Government business as contractors.
Donald Trump’s elevation will change no truths about his authoritarian-fascist political stance, his crimes and criminality, his ignorance and his vulgarity. Moreover, he may not be expected to defend our American Constitution or any American law set against him.
Donald John Trump will rule, not govern.
Americans should have only the lowest expectations for him in relation to American National Security (what does that now mean?), Global Issues, and International Affairs. Expect greater emphasis on his own aggrandizement along with greater deceit and his customary excessive lying.
In the aftermath of the 2020 election and the January 6th insurrection, threats to the election certification process have escalated, now with an increasing focus on county-level certification. Since 2020, more than 30 county officials across the country have voted to deny or delay certifying election results in violation of law, often citing false claims of voter fraud or irregularities. Among those officials are avowed 2020 election deniers, individuals who acted as fake presidential electors for Donald Trump and a criminally convicted participant in the January 6th insurrection who was later removed from office in a lawsuit led by CREW. – CREW. “Election certification under threat.” August 12, 2024.
It appears that the 2024 American election will still feature fake electors as well as uncooperative and unethical Trump loyalist Republicans–and no one will do anything about them for believing their hands tied.
Why compete to win an American election when you can leverage social loyalty into rigging and stealing one?

I appreciate sentences like, “Trump has continued to falsely claim he won the 2020 election in several states” because the oh so politely underscore the undeniable fact that Trump lies absurdly, compulsively, excessively. His baseless accusations about election fraud–not to mention his delusional repitition of a rumor about Haitians eating cats and dogs in Springfield, Ohio–have for merit only his pointing at himself–and suggesting the Trump strategy for the 2024 American election has not changed: he’d rather steal the contest then win it, and American judiciary and politicians have been hamstrung or weak enough to just about let him do that.
Addendum from September 23, 2024, Related and Cogent
The presidential election this year will come down to seven states — but there’s one that Donald Trump and his most committed lieutenants see as a blueprint for corrupting future local and national elections: Georgia.
The Peach State is unique — it’s the sole battleground state in which the Republican Party has total control over the levers of power: a trifecta in the state House, Senate, and governorship. Over the past four years, Trump-loving elements of the Georgia GOP have wielded that advantage in a crusade to convert discredited election-conspiracy theories into policies well ahead of Election Day 2024. It is an alarmingly anti-democratic experiment that Trumpland and much of the GOP hope to take national. — https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-features/trump-georgia-laboratory-rig-2024-1235034510/.
Every war has a war in the shadows. This one involves #Putin#TrumpPutin#MalignantNarcissism and related circles of associates and investors as well as deep corruption and compromise. Good leaders–grounded and strong in their ethics, integrity, knowledge, and outlook plus experiences and skills–would not do as #TrumpPutin do in relation to their dishonesty, ruthlessness, and violence.
Moscow’s in . . . and we’re (we #Americans) are getting screwed. Putin has the power of a real “deep state”, specifically #SovietPostSoviet criminal #KGB / #FSB, and #RussianPower itself operates the state as a criminal enterprise–that’s how #Yanukovych got booted out of #Ukraine! In the #USA, we have gotten for a Presidential candidate a dumb narcissistic jerk. I believe he’s a traitor — #TrumpFakeElectorsAndBallots — who serves #Putin. He wants to replace our #ModernAmericanSecularDemocraticRepublic with his own system of private patronage. Add the look-up, “Trump, Money Laundering, Russia.”
😦
None with power, so far, appear to be able to say “No” to either #Putin or #Trump, neither of whom have normal boundaries or limits in the governing of their own behavior.
Flying rockets into playgrounds ain’t normal; baldly lying to #Americans, especially those who appear to trust you most, ain’t normal either.
Suggestions?
Lately, I’ve been noting, #WeAreAmerican–not an organization, a fact of life, #Democrats and #Republicans, all #AmericanCitizens–and I am certain the good and noble possessed of integrity are tired of #TrumpPutin, would that their “investors” would tired of them as well as all would seem to represent bad business and irremediable political evil.

I have tired of answering, correcting, responding, re-posting on dumb Donald Trump, today a convicted felon with two serious national security-related trials ahead of him–one for election interference, the other for classified documents abuse–and then there’s the case in Georgia where he tried to fix election results by applying muscle or intimidating someone he thought would do that for him.
In Plain Text
I’ve maintained plain text drafts of my X-pressions.

In theory (!) — in empiricism and in relation to reason itself, all knowledge must be fallible but not easily dislodged — the process that starts with “Narcissistic Mortification” leads to covering (denying, disowning, forgetting) that trauma, deciding that it’s not going to happen again, and inventing (“Splitting”) an undamaged and unassailable courageous-heroic image that may then be asserted and defended through various methods. The lying covers something awful (have some empathy) but also creates something horrible, i.e., a monstrously malignant personality, and one that exceeds the boundaries of high self-esteem and a healthy strut. 🙂 Signal–this both informed and intuitive: delusional, grandiose, messianic ideation absent of normal boundaries and limits, i.e., the parameters of normal conscience.
The lies and sophistry not only defend the projected courageous-heroic image of the person but become part of the machinery of the theater around that person. Blind loyalty–but loyalty!–and sycophancy become more prized than character, expertise, humanity, integrity, etc., or, one might suggest, that which comprises the goodness of the good.
Engage the change in the right direction, not a march into the feudal-medieval past of superstitions exploited by thugs but a major step into a future guided by extraordinary knowledge, love, and reason.

If there’s one thing to be discovered about Donald Trump, it’s what a time suck he has turned out. Criminal, demagogue, jerk, malignant narcissist, political criminal–and perhaps that’s all that has been there with his image all along.
