It’s totally possible for him to be an illiterate moron with dementia AND be good at what he’s doing - because he’s got a playbook to follow

That playbook has been tested for generations, revised and optimized by some of the worst

Even an idiot can do it

Would it shock me if the phone call was just “look, just pause long enough for me to get the Nobel Peace Prize and then you can go back to your genocide and we’ll keep paying for it”

No. No it would not.

Two big GOP activists from Oregon were in DC last month for meetings with Trump admin officials. On their podcast they talk about a plan they discussed to nullify the results of Oregon's 2026 federal elections. Pass federal voter ID law, then refuse to seat OR delegation because OR didn't comply.

Also, we proposed a idea how to do a end run on vote by mail. Concept is based on what Trump proposed. When you vote, you check everyone's citizenship as well as voter ID.
In a vote by mail state, you might be able to check citizenship during voter registration. You can send copies of your passport and your birth certificate in.
How in the world are you going to check our voters?
Voter ID, right? Vote by mail. So that creates a problem for Oregon.
But if federal government new requirement is to check both, and if Oregon can comply with the requirements, what would happen to our election result? I'm talking about the entire federal delegation.
For federal elections, we're talking about only federal elections.

So entire federal delegation, congressmen and senators could be challenged, could be unseated because you didn't follow federal requirements to elect them. So I said the trade-off is worth it. You know why?
Democrats control two Senate seats out of six congressional seats. We only control one. They control five.
You talk about trade-off, right?
COMMON SENSE

They clearly are NOT waiting for “an excuse to crackdown” happening in the streets - they’ll just post a fake video and say it happened

Remember when Obama had the nerve to suggest that Fox was a propaganda tool instead of a serious news outlet … and that was unthinkable for a president to do???

this is an explicitely nazi administration and anyone who still supports them should be viewed as such

Incredible.

Jack Posobiec references the earliest version of antifa -- the anti-fascists in the Weimar Republic who were opposed to the Nazi Party -- as the bad guys.

In his dementia-soaked brain:
He is the president so everyone has to think about what he wants

Instead of the way it is supposed to work :
You’re the president, you’re supposed to think about what the people want and need

I fucking hate this timeline

So cool that whenever someone asks the president, “did you eat the Lindbergh baby” he’s like, “no but I’d be allowed to, I have the right to, I might do it later”

NEW: A MAGA X account often shared by Senator Mike Lee and House Republicans like Nancy Mace--that often alleges Democrats encourage voting fraud-- is run by a man who not only has never stepped foot in the US, he also illegally donated to an American campaign.

They love doing everything on social media the same reason he loves doing everything at rallies - a platform that reaches a lot of people, the feeling of being a “official” statement but no actual obligation at all to tell the truth
