The democrats are already giving them another chance. Read the polls. They have a chance to jump ship and get the hell out of Trump-town before the Blue Wave make them so toxic that even lobbyists won't hire them.

Of course, J.D. has nothing to worry about. Peter Theil has been paying his freight for years.

LAMP @ #10

Over the years Trump has demonstrated that he has a slew of mental problems. Toward the end paranoia is the one that takes center stage. It's only logical that he's on some kind of medication to keep him calm to the point of actually falling asleep.

The midterms look promising for an impeachment. Providing Trump doesn't go nuclear on the impeachment proceedings or pull some Russian style maneuver to hang onto power

If the impeachment is successful, J.D. Vance (and his puppet master, Peter Theil) would do well to learn a lesson from it.

TRUTHY

Melania probably feels the same way ~ LOL

Trump's not interested in making anybody's dreams come true except his own.

Earlier Vice President J.D. Vance went public with a tearjerker plea "Give us another chance, please"

Don't these two ever talk to each other before they open-mouth-insert-foot?

Yeah, Rove the dirty trickster of the secret vote changing software in Ohio that got Obama elected. Yeah, that slimy pig.

Trump shouldn't be trashing Rove. He should be asking him for advice.

I've heard mental illness called a lot of things but never "authoritarian mindset" although that could be an underlying part of everything else that's wrong with Trump.

Anybody I've ever know afflicted with an authoritarian mindset are the least qualified to be in charge of anything. It's a takeoff from deep seated insecurity which has plagued Trump all his life.

Trump proves my point.

"Give us another chance, please."

Now that's just downright pitiful. After all the things Trump has done to lie, cheat, bribe. steal, intimidate (including the sanctity of the USPS), and otherwise control the outcome of the midterms in their favor, Vance has a lot of gall to ask the voters for mercy.

Why, because they need more time to destroy the Constitution in favor of an autocracy.

The sooner these blood-sucking creeps get kicked to the curb, the better.

Rove and Trump, two slimeballs who are trashing each other.

LOL. Where's the downside?

AU @ #24

"I'm thinking Mark Kelly might end up jumping in for '28."

Excellent choice. But, frankly, I think Trump has weakened the GOP so badly that there's likely to be a slew of democrat contenders who are thinking "easy pickins."

Trump, never one to know when to quit, might even have a ringer in the democrat mix, backed by more money than all the rest combined.

ALEX

I don't think Trump planned for it to happen this way.

Which is exactly why it. Under any other circumstances Trump's incompetence would be a running joke.

If possible, sue Trump for the whole amount after he's impeached and becomes a private citizen.

Well, has everybody forgotten.

Lordship oven the whole western hemisphere is part of his deal with Putin.

I had the same experience a few years ago with mono-vision contacts. Like you, my brain didn't want to cooperate. But still, to this day, I never allow my brain to argue with me.

Did Hegseth forget his vow of sobriety and push the wrong button while in a stupor.

Well, he was a risky, unqualified hire who got the big head so the buck stops with Donald Trump, the other risky, unqualified hire who got the big head.

Thank you, ALEX,

For the record, there is no recovery or cure. The injections can only stop the growth at whatever stage it's been diagnosed.

One has already been stopped at about 55%. We're still working on the other one which is not as bad.

It sure messes up one's perception.

ZED @ #10

Astute observation.

I get a sneaky feeling that the Trump administration is bulging at the seams with secrets.

Stay tuned for the investigations after the midterms, providing Trump hasn't found a way to blow the whole voting process to smithereens.

DOC@#20

"How are you doing with your eyes?"

Thanks for asking. It's not an intrusion.

Still under treatment. Doctor said my sight is as good now as it's ever going to be. I've had three injections with many more to do. I talked to a patient in the waiting room and he said he was there for his seventh injection. I hope this needle in the eyeball thing isn't for a lifetime.

I'm glad to see Rove had a change of heart but it's too little, too late. Trump has already poisoned the consecrated ground the Republican Party used to walk on in Texas.

Even Texans recognize insanity when they see it.

I hope Chancellor Merz realizes that the current President of the United is mentally skating on very thin ice.

Trump thinks planet Earth revolves around him. (if you can imagine such a thing)

Personally, I agree with the recent defectors from the Republican Party. I think he's gradually losing his mind. Losing a big chunk of power, i.e. Congress, in the midterms will probably push him over the edge.

Keep the butterfly nets handy.

Good one, CLOWN. (LOL)

AU

Since the ship is still under construction maybe Trump won't be Commander-in-Chief by then.
