Any effort to steal the 2024 race will have to look like his efforts to steal the 2020 race: By cheating and defrauding the electoral process to illegally seize power. Trump turned to violence after the 2020 election only after exhausting every avenue to get judges and state officials to steal it for him. This time around, he's likely to encourage violence much sooner, to make up for not having presidential authority to mount a pressure campaign. As long as Trump is on the ballot, there are multiple targets he can direct MAGA terrorists toward in his efforts to steal the election. [He's already prompting them to attack polling booths](~/AASU4wA~/RgRnpfXZP0REaHR0cHM6Ly9hLnBvc3QubGhkLmxpbmsvd2txMWllbzM3ay8_bGhfYWlkPTM1NDM5NTImbGhfY2lkPW9wZWJicDhtOTJXA3NwY0IKZbrZcMNlktdFhFIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luODVAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAo) in urban and minority neighborhoods. The haphazard efforts to target vote-counting centers could be more organized this time around. If President Joe Biden wins again, the state-level certification ceremonies of Biden electors could be threatened. And, of course, there could be more violence in and around January 6, 2025, as Trump will undoubtably once again pressure Congress to steal the election for him.

Biden, on the other hand, is the “baby face" good guy and hero who stands up for what is right and good. But even the baby face must get some fire and start to cut some searing promos – which we saw from President Biden during his speech at Valley Forge several weeks ago – if he or she wants to keep the people behind them and get the fuel they need to decisively beat the heel.

How Joni Mitchell taught us to look at life from both sides When the revolving stage turned to reveal Joni Mitchell seated and singing from a brocade throne chair Sunday night, cheers erupted at the Grammy awards.

She softly tapped her silver-tipped cane in time with the piano, string and vocal accompaniment on the candlelit stage. Fifty years later, the singer-songwriter saved my life for the second time.
