Because the first one was either an outright lie . . or Trump's exuberance caused him to make a rushed call . . . neither of which Trump would ever admit.

I'm not saying that Trump doesn't deserve the ton of bricks now falling on his head. It's just that I think the GOP should get their share of bricks, too.

I think we're both right. Trump was indeed the front man but with a broader job than the usual TV pitch man. The cult that developed was his m.o. for maintaining control of both the Senate (with fear of retribution) and his followers with lies and fake expectations.

And the freefall continues.

Projection at the highest level. And fear. Yeah, a lot of fear.

Since Todd Blanche is the target, let's see if he will investigate the investigators of himself . . . or dissuade Trump.

Trump is nuts to bring this down on his own head. It's Catch 22 situation for the Trump administration.

It may be too late for that, LEE. But it might take them a while to figure it out. It's the GOP who should be saying "Never again."

With a lot of encouragement from Russia who was anxious to get "their man" in the White House, the GOP sold America down the river. The bargaining chip was One Party Control forever for the GOP and an ally for Russia when they started their invasion to restore the U.S.S.R.

The mistake they both made was grooming a man with the Mafia instincts of a greedy, low-life New York mobster to do the job.

And this is how it ends. Not with a bang, but with a whimper.

IMO, Trump has a great fear that he's going to be forgotten.

He's probably right. It will be a long time before America forgets the most incompetent, the most ego centric, the most corrupt, the greediest, the most insecure creature to ever occupy the Oval Office.

We have to remember him so we can keep saying "Never Again." As such, Trump's place in history is secure.

WHATSLEFT

Keep in mind it takes two to play that game. She can't sell it if she doesn't have a buyer. So which one is worse? The whore or the whore monger?

I neglected to add Stephen Miller. He's going to be busy with his new job as Chief of Staff while being preoccupied with how he can still Nazify America before 2028.

I don't think the GOP is going to be doing much for a while. They're going to be super busy trying to rehabilitate their name after Trump inadvertently turned it into rose garden fertilizer in the midterms.

There's no telling what Trump will do, in his current state of unbridled rage. His Secretary of Defense is skating on thin ice, His Secretary of State is likely going to jump ship ASAP and his Attorney General is facing Impeachment. On top of that, the new majorities in both the House and Senate are not afraid of the big bad wolf. Then there is the strong possibility that former oligarchs will question the wisdom of supporting a Republican candidate in 2028.

It goes on and on, but you can assume it's not going to be pretty for Trump or the GOP.

I don't know why we're landing on Trump so hard. Probably because he's just the front man. He actually did America a big favor and maybe even the world. He inadvertently destroyed the GOP and saved America and our precious democracy. We should be sending him a Thank You card.

In fact, now maybe he can be nominated for that elusive Nobel Peace Prize for saving America from the clutches of a long series of vicious GOP Unitary Executive dictators.

I doubt if Trump ever cared about the GOP's plan for a Unitary Executive once he decided out that greed, power and corruption paid better . . . and longer.

Now it's easier to understand Trump's rage. His spigot has been shut off. And He's stuck with that lousy Iran War.

IMO, it's the GOP who must realize that they have to give up their un-constitutional plan for a Unitary Executive before we can expect Trump or any Republican successor to change course.

I don't think Trump is more important to them than the mission. Any bobblehead will do as long as they stick to the "Plan." Nobody at headquarters expected it to be fast or easy.

Trump was just a bad mistake in judgement. I don't think the GOP is going to quit trying.

I still see a couple in my neighborhood. We call them Jew Canoes because they're driven by parents dropping their kids off at a private Jewish school.

At one time I think these cars were supposed to be some kind of a status symbol.

Laugh clown, laugh.

DANFORTH

"I was convinced the other side was doing it."

So, just as I said. Typical Trumpian brainwashing.

REDIAL

You got me there. I don't see the connection to job qualifications.

Laughing to hide the tears.

Glad he got caught. But it only solidified what has been evident for years, election after election. Republicans cheat . . . from the bottom all the way to the top.

I'm convinced that lying and cheating must be built into the Republican brainwashing program.

Let's hope Judge Chutkan sees Trump as the cowardly insecure pipsqueek that the rest of the world has known for years.

Trump doesn't need a monument. He barely needs a tombstone.

Now, now boys. Mind your manners. This is nothing more than a case of Trump-esq sour grapes.

They're going to shut down production next year.

These things don't even have a trade-in value. No dealer wants one on their lot. Get real!

Maybe there's a museum somewhere for the ultimate in commercial flops and bad ideas?

The last I heard, Trump Media was having a hard time paying its bills.

FRIEND

A gentle heads up.

What's not so wonderful, and is frowned upon by our little community, is dissing another person (BOAZ) when he's not here to defend himself.

Also, I've known AU and his wife for a long time, both personally and on this site, and I can't imagine him getting yuks at the expense of another person's feelings. That just doesn't sound like him at all.

If he reads this, he knows he's always free to correct me.
