2024 - the MAGA Presidency and Revenge Tour

No, it's not accurate. They're not in a prison in Thailand, for God's sake. They're not in maximum security prisons...hell, the majority of them aren't even IN a prison, having served 30 days or so, or being sentenced to home incarceration.

As with all things Trump, you have to take what he says and then either completely discard it as fake, or tone down the exaggeration by a huge degree.

Never pegged Trump for an "End Incarceration"/Criminal Justice Reform advocate.

Here's fun trivia. How many of the 1/6 rioters were charged and/or convicted of terrorism? If you said zero, you'd be correct. Which is weird when you consider that Luigi Mangione was charged yesterday with terrorism (in addition to murder).

So once again, try to overthrow the peaceful transfer of power? Hang tight and you'll get a pardon. Shoot a CEO? That's terrorism.

You cannot deny that dozens, perhaps hundreds, of CEOs were terrified.

Yeah, but once the guards are allowed to use firehoses on the inmates, the prisons will be clean places that are probably too good for the enemies of the state that will be replacing the Jan 6 heroes. Prison reform, MAGA-style.

My understanding is that it makes it easier for them to expedite in his extradition to New York, along with ensuring a more severe sentence when he's convicted. Win-win.

He's not. He's a "no punishment for people who support him" and a "maximum punishment for anyone who opposes him" guy.

Never know when he'll need some cannon fodder.

For some reason, I am full of Trumptopian ideas lately. The latest one offers anyone incarcerated and serving a 20+ year sentence the option of receiving an M16, all the ammo they can carry, and a parachute drop near the Ukrainian front lines.

Feels like this should be part of the revenge tour:

President-elect Donald Trump has once again suggested he wants to revert the name of North America’s tallest mountain — Alaska’s Denali — to Mount McKinley, wading into a sensitive and decades-old conflict about what the peak should be called.

Former President Barack Obama changed the official name to Denali in 2015 to reflect the traditions of Alaska Natives as well as the preference of many Alaska residents. The federal government in recent years has endeavored to change place-names considered disrespectful to Native people.

“Denali” is an Athabascan word meaning “the high one” or “the great one.” A prospector in 1896 dubbed the peak “Mount McKinley” after President William McKinley, who had never been to Alaska. That name was formally recognized by the U.S. government until Obama changed it over opposition from lawmakers in McKinley’s home state of Ohio.

Trump suggested in 2016 that he might undo Obama’s action, but he dropped that notion after Alaska’s senators objected. He raised it again during a rally in Phoenix on Sunday.

What's especially dumb about this is Alaskans of all stripes call it Denali. It's only a culture war issue to conservatives outside of Alaska.

I’m waiting for statues of Confederate generals and heroes to start showing up again in places where they were previously moved to museums in an effort to control the context of their existence.

And the reversion of military base names back to traitorous generals.

[Holman]

Why would Trump waste time honoring other people? The statues will be of him, and the bases will be "Trump Courageous," "Trump Victorious," "Trump Large Hands," etc.
