Summary

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz Tim Walz warns that Trump may soon arrest political opponents and potentially groom one of his sons, likely Donald Jr., as a successor.

“It’s going to get very dark,” Walz told CNN, citing Trump’s defiance of a judge’s order on Venezuelan migrants and calls to impeach a federal judge as evidence of authoritarian tendencies.

He expressed concern that Democratic leaders underestimate Trump’s authoritarianism and public frustration with both parties.

Walz criticized Schumer’s handling of the GOP spending bill and questioned how Democrats will rebuild institutions damaged by Trump.

    They’re gonna put in Barron because he knows how to turn on a computer. That’s a step of competency above his other sons. Also, they’ll want the youngest one in for the longest-lived dictatorship.

    Further, Barron has made inroads in the right wing podcast ecosystem. The other Trump boys are still living in the 90’s, they’ll want someone who understands the modern era and can influence it.

      Long term maybe, but short term Barron is too young and the Constitution isn’t ambiguous about the age limits - and even if it’s worth little more than toilet paper it serves the Republicans to keep it around as a zombie so they can keep pretending this is a democracy.

        Dude, they already stopped giving a fuck about the Constitution. We’re literally in the middle of a Constitutional crisis. They’re ignoring the courts.

        I’m so tired of hearing this “blah blah blah Consitution doesn’t allow” they will make it allow it. Just like how Bannon was quoted that they’re working on Trump’s third term, which means they’re just going to re-interpret everything into their favor.

        Just like how they just argued that they needed to deport Venezuelans with no criminal history because somehow that means they’re more dangerous to the US than those with a criminal history.

        Just stop this checks and balances nonsense, that shit’s over. In four years it will be dead and in it’s grave.
