My only conclusion here is that Russia finally got through to him and convinced him to stop the saber-rattling, because this is a fundamentally unserious claim.
COLLINS: Who told you that the killing in Iran has stopped?
TRUMP: We have been informed by very important sources on the other side that the killing has stopped and executions won't take place

Frost: For so long, the right wing has held up patriotism as a vibe, as an aesthetic. But patriotism is more than bald eagles and flags and beer. Patriotism is about loving the people who live in the damn country — every single one of them.

Rich cultural text that Will Stancil is in the streets of Minneapolis fighting ICE while the ten thousand losers who want him to dead are petrified of No Kings events because they might see a mom with a cell phone.

If McConnell had wanted to convict, Senate would have convicted. McConnell decided to pass the buck. His reasons were pure power politics: he knew a vote to convict would blow up the party. I suspect he also thought court prosecution would end T but also mobilize T supporters against Ds: a "win-win"
It was not the next President's or Attorney General's job to do the damn job of the Republicans in Congress (& the Executive Branch on 1/6/21). The anger at Biden/Garland is fine, but it's wildly misdirected without greater anger at the Republicans who are responsible for all of this.
Again, sure, but it was neither the president’s nor the AG’s job to do the Senate’s job for it. It all should have been over in February 2021, & the people everyone is actually angry at are all Republican Senators. Total failure of Article I of the Constitution. Presidentialism was a grave mistake.

People don't want to accept this because it isn't true. The <primary reason> we have Trump today is because 52 & 43 GOP Senators failed to fulfill their oaths of office in two impeachment trials. It should have never gotten to the point that it was Joe Biden's responsibility, or Merrick Garland's.
People don't want to accept that the primary reason that we have Trump today is that the previous administration completely failed. It should have never gotten to the point where it was in the so-called hands of the voters. It was already too late by then.

With Trump going full authoritarian on Venezuela-Greenland, ICE, and the Fed, the response has to be serious. Four Republican senators (Tillis, McConnell, Murkowski, Collins?) could announce they’ll caucus for now with the Dems to give them control of the Senate to check Trump.
