I might have posted this before, but I remember on January 6th and watching live TV that the strength of our institutions would ensure that Biden would indeed become POTUS at the inauguration, so even that day I felt not a single worry. And through this process I continue to be in awe of just how naive I've been. We were thisfuckingclose to not having a transfer of power.
And now this asshole will get voted to be the GOP nominee for 2024. What a country.
Trump is the one and only guy for about 30-35% of the GOP electorate. That's not a majority, but they will not buy into anyone else easily. Not even DeSantis.
If he’s not the GOP nominee I for sure think he would one as an independent and split the GOP vote.
All this nonsense makes me happy in some ways and it would make me gleeful to see him in an orange jumper, but what I really want is Trump to just slink away and never be heard of or from again. I honestly just want presidential candidates on both sides who are smart, hardworking and passionate about effecting positive change. Why instead do we have Bravo drama presidential elections?
The other day I was thinking about how this feels more WWE-esque to me. Trump is the good guy who has to beat up all the bad guys and they need to be entertained in the meantime. This has nothing to do with actual governance in their eyes.
If he is the nominee, I at least feel pretty confident that he'll lose the election. We already had Biden vs. Trump in 2020 and he lost. Since then we've had years of stable, competent leadership under Biden, while Trump has continued to unravel as he's charged with a litany of crimes. A rematch isn't going to go any better for Trump than the first time did, IMO.
It's going to be an ugly election season though.
And yet there are still people who will vote third party because "both sides."
Or because “I think there should be more than two parties.”
ok, fine, I get that. But you have to work with the system we have. Support other parties at lower level as they can make a name for themselves and eventually, it’ll be big. But NOT HERE. IT DOESNT HAVE THE EFFECT YOU THINK IT DOES.
I wish Cruz was a named co-conspirator. We need him gone.
Today's Daily episode covered the indictment and the guest reporter said there could still be more charges for more people (even if they weren't referenced in the indictment). Keep hope alive! lol
It's rich that DeSantis tweeted he would "ensure a single standard of justice for all Americans” if elected president. Ok, great! So you agree that former presidents who commit crimes should be charged and punished for them just like anyone else! We agree!

Well, saw a guy wearing a Trump 2024 tonight. Wearing that today is definitely a choice. I know it’s one guy but I really think they will stick by him no matter what.

I can one-up this. I saw a pickup truck with the license plate TRUMP24 today.

Good lord. I’ve already been seeing Trump 2024 flags on property for months, so for me seeing the guy with the shirt was the first example of a true doubling down on this news. If I see more new nonsense popping up then that will basically confirm my suspicions that no one is giving up on this guy.
Fox News is really scrambling to figure out the messaging on this latest Trump indictment. So far, they are mostly ignoring it in favor of coverage of Hunter Biden (I know, shocker) and some teenager who hit a politician in the head with a water balloon while he was walking in a parade (??) I know, world news stuff. And mostly that Trump is polling really well for re-election and Biden is not. And guys, all these lawsuits are going to be expensive for Trump!
Those poor Fox talking heads - what huge meteorite on a collision course with earth ? nothing to see here !
Not for trump. For his donors (heh autocorrect said dinosaurs. Also accurate). He's looting funds to pay for lawyers. I think he's up to 40M

Is this not the same group of people who said Kyle Rittenhouse should not be held responsible for shooting three people in Kenosha because he was a teenager and teenagers don’t have fully developed frontal cortexes?

I'm not sure how Fox is framing this but it was a local parade that has a water balloon fight as part of the tradition. It went viral because someone posted the video and said that it was Mike Pence getting hit.
Former President Trump will have his mugshot taken if he's indicted over Fulton County's investigation into alleged criminal efforts to overturn the 2020 election results in Georgia, county Sheriff Pat Labat said to local media.
Why it matters: Though Trump has been indicted three times and arraigned twice, he has not yet had a booking photo taken.
Meet up at 4pm for the Trump Shitshow, serving The Gravy Fountain of Lies with “how the honey buttered fuck” biscuits did we get here and carrot Caligula punch. Cheers!

I wore my Four Seasons Total Landscaping shirt yesterday, lol.

I was talking to my friends about this last weekend and the only thing that I want is for him to die. They were like "but then he doesn't pay for his crimes, he's a martyr, blah blah blah." I don't care. Death is the ONLY thing that will keep him away from the presidency and out of the spotlight.

Nah man, he wouldn't be a martyr if he keeled over from a heart attack. Or slipping down the steps from his plane and breaking his neck...

Even then, they'd turn him into a conspiracy-theory-filled "murdered-by-the-left" martyr.
And to think, if he'd just fucked off about politics, he'd likely still be fat and happy, old and famous (albeit less powerful, which I guess is what he's into). Ugh. Fucker.
I'm pretty convinced that even if he did die before the election Matt Gaetz and company would just Weekend at Bernie's him and drag his bloated corpse all around the country in sunglasses and a janky MAGA hat. That being said, i really did think he would be dead buy now. I guess that was just wishful thinking.
