Trump has a great fear of losing ~ for all the obvious reasons we already know ~ and too cowardly to face the consequences.

All told, he's really quite the weakling.

LEGALLY

He's also a textbook case of sociopathy who will deny responsibility on the same day he's charged and sentenced. It's a serious mental disorder in adults, combined with cowardice and fear.

Most children grow out of it. Some never do.

HUGHMASS

There WAS coordination at the highest levels. Not Trump, but his lawyers, Giuliani and Chesbro about whom one fake elector said he felt like his personal safety was threatened if he didn't comply . . . and other fake electors who said they were lied to about the "plan" being only a contingency plan or that it was their patriotic duty.

Seems like both Giuliani and Chesebro both have their ass in a sling. Chesebro is already cooperating in Wisconsin. Giuliani is still hanging onto Trump's coat tails . . . or maybe Trump's pantlegs by now . . . as Trump continues to drag everybody connected to him through the slime of January 6 . . . still pinning their hopes on a U.S. Supreme Court exoneration or the 2024 election and a pardon.

When I was about 5 years old and on a road trip with my parents, I had an experience with a Timber Wolf that was chained up behind a gas station. I thought it was a big dog so I crouched down to pet and love on him while my parents were filling up with gas.

The wolf didn't attack me but it sure scared the bejeebes out of my parents and the gas station owner when they came looking for me. The owner said the wolf was so dangerous he had to push his food into him with a stick.

To this day I have no idea why the wolf didn't go for my throat.

I was wondering when Trump was going to start blaming IA. The more he lies, the more scapegoats he needs. I remember when he used to blame his teleprompter when he got caught making his many gaffs. Lately he's blaming the Deep State for weaponizing the DOJ to prosecute him.

IOW, it's always somebody else's fault.

BTW. the Koch Super PAC, which is a coalition of a number of wealthy former Trump donors who are now disgusted with him, just announced they were throwing their collective weight behind Nikki Haley. And that ain't no little fish.

Dumber by the day. But at least he made a headline.

And some people believe there's no such thing as bad publicity.

I recall that the first big reveal was on an 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper (1), double spaced.

I can still hear the laughter.

REDIAL

Yes, I know. But Roosevelt and Wilson aren't the burr under Trump saddle. Obama is his nemesis.

I should have clarified my statement better. My bad.

TOR

I don't think Liz Cheney expects to be elected but, for those looking for a Republican alternative to Trump, she could put one hell of a dent in his bid for a second term.

You almost can't turn on the evening TV lately without seeing an interview with Liz talking about all the --------- things Trump has planned for this country.

To listen to them talk, they really thought they had President Biden treed this time.

I agree with PRIOUS04. Trump is the one pushing the House GOP to muddy the waters on President Biden. BTW, that's two Jimsies who have made fools out of themself ~~ Jim Jordan and now, Jim Comey.

A little off topic but I hope President Biden gets a Nobel Prize for the work he's doing to save the hostages and refuges in GAZA. That would be two Presidents [not named Trump] who got Nobel Peace Prizes.

Now there's woman I could vote for. And, BTW, Liz is not anything like her father.

All I can say is, You go, girl!

We keep talking like government is going to remain the same, but with a different President. NOT SO!

If/when Trump declares himself Dictator, there won't be a two-party government nor a system of checks and balances. Any facsimile of a congress will just be loyal bobbleheads just to keep up the pretense.

Dictators are authoritarian rulers who use fear (not legislation) to control the public. Any civil opposition to a Dictator ends up in a kangaroo court, prison or forced into fleeing for his life.

Ref: Russia

If Trump's own crazy talk is any indication, especially about the media, education and social programs you can expect worse, maybe even quadruple, cruelty. Depend on it! He has no, zero, nada conscience.

#13 POSTED BY ROBSON / FLAG ~ Pfftttt

Maybe Santos will throw up a trial balloon about running for President just to keep the media tongues wagging about him.

If/when Trump declares himself Dictator, what makes anybody think "popularity" will mean anything to him. Dictators don't kowtow to the people. Dictators demand that people kowtow to him. . . or else!

"something from the 50's and 60's westerns"

OK, I get it. DeSantis needed something that gives the impression he's tough, when cowboy boots just aren't enough.

The political cartoons just write themselves.

What does "Never Back Down" mean anyway? It sounds stupid. It sounds like something General Custer would say on his way to the Little Big Horn.

The Republican Party multi-cultural?

About as multi-cultural as Hitler's Nazi Germany in the 1940's.

And not as long as there's a steerage class ticket available on a slow boat to Afrida.

Santos is a spiteful, pathological, compulsive liar. If he starts throwing names and unfounded accusations around just for spite, he's likely going to find himself hip deep in lawsuits for slander.

OTOH, the Republican Party opened the door for this nutcase, so there's no one to blame but themself for the consequences.

Of course, his son-in-law might slip him a few bucks. Jared might even make Trump a silent, unofficial, no paper trail, income tax free partner in his new $2 Billion investment fund that he got from Saudi Arabia.

That might work . . . until it doesn't.

I'm just saying, that Trump might not be completely destitute ~ or down to his last coupon for a McDonalds cheeseburger.

Snidely (Whiplash) Trump: Curses, foiled again!

LEGALLY

They'll have to get in line. Letitia James, the State of New York and the IRS are after every dime he owns. And that's before the penalty has been announced. Then comes the mortgage holders and various law firms and contractors Trump has stiffed over the years.

I wish the Capitol Police officers luck and I hope they get a bundle. But they'll have to hurry. Trump is about to turn into that proverbial turnip.

His office will be a phone booth and he'll be panhandling for cab fare before this is over.

As Karl Rove, a political trickster, once retorted ~ Republican voters are really stupid.

Trump wasn't even there. He's just sending a message of support to his flock ~ at least the ones who are not already in jail for attacking the Capitol Police and are also squealing on Trump like little piglets for a lighter sentence.

The message is not for them. Trump doesn't like people who get caught. Remember?

DONNERBOY

Or maybe they just wanted to take him alive so the Fed's could milk him for more evidence against Trump. There is such a thing as a "no kill" order, if possible, if the Feds want him alive.

Hunter Biden has already won the day. The ball is in Comer's court now. Public or forgetaboutit.

Remains to be seen if Comer is willing to risk the embarrassment of being one-upped by Hunter Biden for all the world to see.
