Hope she’s right but remember the great vibes when they appointed Mueller? Or when he was on trial for 4 cases?
He’s not going to resign. He’s not going to be impeached or arrested. The base is not going to turn on him. Ballot box or general strike or stroke/coronary are our only hope.

In that time, costs for rent, groceries, and utilities have soared.

Poor and middle class families are being robbed to pay for a technology created by fascists that will rob poor and middle class families if it works, harm the environment, and it’s also probably not going to work.

Can you imagine a woman of color, say a Black reporter, who was caught in an affair with a Presidential candidate THAT SHE WAS COVERING, getting completely rehabilitated less than a year later with a cushy new job and puff piece profile in the paper of record?
Nope.

If you’re a fan of French film, movies about making movies, watch Nouvelle Vague. Easy contender for best foreign film. Great performances and writing. Amazing recreation of late 50s Paris.
I spoke to Richard Linklater about both the great NOUVELLE VAGUE and the great BLUE MOON, which are now out at the same time — which I compared to Use Your Illusion I and II, a reference I don’t think he liked very much bit.ly/4p6Zdfx
‘Nouvelle Vague’ Director Richard Linklater Takes on an All-Time Classic With Incredible Accuracy
The film comes off the heels of Blue Moon, completing a project over 15 years in the making.

I'm not saying fascism can't happen here, or that we are out of the woods, but it's shit like this that gives me confidence that it ain't gonna happen. It's because Trump is so fucking stupid. Incapable of rational thought, or of acting in his own interest.
If I were Michael Wolff, I'd advise Trump NOT to generate more news about Jeffrey Epstein.

I refuse to count my chickens, and this also seems to describe a dynamic that applies to days and politics of yore. Trump is not a politician, he’s a cult leader.
I think the only thing that kills his presidency and the party is a shit economy, which they are actively creating.

Donald Trump’s presidency hinges on loyalty, which depends on the perception of power. As a lame duck, that perception is already eroding — and the Epstein scandal is now accelerating it.
Opinion | The Epstein divisions among Republicans are hastening Trump's lame-duck status
These polls suggest the issue is a bigger problem than the president wants to admit.
