He's hoping he finds out tonight on Levin or Tucker or both. Right now, it's just some tweet he saw. ;)

Trump’s Second Term Would Look Like This
The former president and his allies have explained their plans quite clearly.

By Jonathan Rauch

...And so, after four years? America has crossed Freedom House’s line from “free” to “partly free.” The president’s powers are determined by what he can get away with. His opponents are harried, chilled, demoralized. He is term-limited, but the MAGA movement has entrenched itself. And Trump has demonstrated in the United States what Orbán proved in Hungary: The public will accept authoritarianism, provided it is of the creeping variety.

“We should not be afraid to go against the spirit of the age and build an illiberal political and state system,” Orbán declared in 2014. Trump and his followers openly plan to emulate Orbán. We can’t say we weren’t warned.

>> Why?

Why would you believe such an outrageous leak would be acceptable?

When data are precious, the containers it comes in are precious, too.

In my business you don't handle data like that. If I did my customers would have dumped me years ago.

You never disclose ANYTHING gratuitously. Only a rank amateur would do that, or someone who was trying to make a case out of nothing. The latter is a distinct possibility. They've got nothing.

Meanwhile, all your guy has is running around calling us, the "MAGA" crowd, "semi-fascists", and no telling what he'll come up with tomorrow.

His behavior is 10x worse than Orange Man Bad's. Just free floating hatred plus tidbits of Jim Crow. It is pathetic. Tucker had an interesting interview with an expert on Mass Formation Psychosis tonight. I'm thinking maybe he was referring to you guys.
