This forum is pretty dead now. Just like all of the other Astromart forums  This was the last that had been active at all, seems no one wants to talk politics in the politics forum.

OT: I now have even more time on my hands. I was scraping off a little snow and ice off of the driveway and slipped. I dislocated my knee, had an MRI done today, and looks like I’ll be getting at least the meniscus repaired and maybe the ACL and or MCL. It’s swelled up like a balloon and I can barely put any weight on it. I go back to the doc on Monday and pretty confident I messed it up good. Hurt like hell when it happened and I was down on the driveway for five minutes or so before I could get up. My Mom was right, growing old isn’t for sissies.

I see Rich is up to his usual antics. He has no idea what a buffoon he is, but keeps proving it over and over.

The makeup of the House and the issue being defied will dictate the outcome, pun intended.

Trump's people, via the Heritage Foundation, are already pre-screening Trump loyalists who will replace non-partisan career government employees in his second term. This will affect every level of govt:

A primary example would be Trump putting a conspiracy theorist like Kash Patel as a deputy in charge of the CIA:
"He’d force out CIA Deputy Director Vaughn Bishop, replace him with Patel, and if Haspel quit in protest, then Patel or another loyalist would lead the CIA."

As far as the press goes, more people still watch Faux than MSM so it's Trump's bogus messaging that gets the most viewed air time with Faux news propagandists eager to promote it.
As far as the using the police/military to do his bidding, we already saw him do it in his first term with his AG:
https://www.npr.org/2020/06/01/867532070/trumps-unannounced-church-visit-angers-church-officials
What he'll do next will likely be magnitudes greater.
As far as the courts go, you can see what's happening NOW: his lawyers are manipulating the courts with bogus arguments and appeals to stop his trials until after he's elected so they can't proceed and if, by some act of reasonable jurisprudence, a case were to be heard and he is found guilty, he'd self pardon himself. 
I'll be very interested to see how Smith's emergency request to SCOTUS goes on Trump's bogus claim of immunity is concerned. That ought to be a slam-dunk but if the majority of cons on the court find in favor of him, then all bets are off on what he can and will do...
