  "The Democrats will face significant backlash for this and as per usual, they’ve gone way too far,” said a former senior administration official. “Making a list of your political enemies and promising that they will get payback and people will go after them because they worked for a different political party is literally fascism.”

Though I'm with AOC on some policy positions, I think this is a mistake on her part.

Ah yes, the "enemies" list.  LOL
"Them" and "Us"...two can play that game.

Wait til Trump's out of office and see how much support he has.
Hell, Omarosa's rumor is Melania is all set to divorce him.

While Don Jr. better enjoy whatever power/influence he has now, cause that will end soon.

Some states seem to flicker from blue to red, and red to blue, on the breeze...doesn't take much.
I'd be running Donald Trump Jr as my candidate.
Young, handsome, nice wife and family, smart. Endorsed by daddy,  new and improved policies, that's what I'd do.
Jr's Tweet:
"70 million pissed off republicans and not one city burned to the ground".

Watching him run from jail will be entertaining.

I am sure he will still get 10s of millions of votes.

Trump lost the popular vote on 2016 and lost it by a much larger margin in 2020.

There is no universe where Trump supporters outnumber the opposition.

He just has to be the best candidate
I'd have to see who else is interested.  Ms Noem has been mentioned.  Mike Pence 
 Anyone else?

Bambu -. Trump Jr is divorced.  It's Eric that has the current wife

Don Jr is the operative, less clean and less intelligent than Kushner.  Eric is the golf course guy.

I am not sure if Jared would wish to run just yet, but he is my early leader.

Naked assertion of power,  look at me pound my chest.   No other real reason for a lame duck firing.   Lookee, I'm still POTUS, I can still fire and hire!

Don Jr?   Sacks of hammers are smarter.

Noem?   Trump's lap dog?   Allowed Sturgis to go and infect the northern tier of states,  and add to the rise in others?   Tried to stop sovereign Native tribes from protecting their people from covid,  with perfectly sensible checkpoints at Rez borders?   Promotes wild conspiracy theories?   Presided over second highest covid surge in US due to lax policies on spread?   Tried to conceal damning stats from the Argus Leader paper?

Right.

A week is a long time in politics...let alone 4 years.
Who knows, they might find a candidate worthy of the Office...and if Biden and Co go "crazy left',  anything could happen 2024.

If Biden and Co go "crazy left', they will win 2024 by a landslide, keeping all their current states and adding Texas, Florida, and Ohio to the fold. True progressive policies are massive winners with today’s voters, even more so with the voters of tomorrow.

There is no universe where Trump supporters outnumber the opposition.
Biden’s popular vote margin is skewed by the California vote.
In the Electoral College it is much closer, as it was in 2016. The victory margin in Arizona, Nevada, Georgia, and Pennsylvania is so close it is less than the votes won by Jo Jorgensen in those four states.
What is more telling is how GOP voters felt on down tickets where they added 14 House Seats( minimum) in a year Pelosi was predicting just the opposite, upped its control of state legislatures to roughly 67% and secured control of 24 of the 36 states redistricting powers.

This has been coming for quite some time.  Last months before an election would have been unwise, thus the timing.
