Trump's approval ratings are tanking. He's flailing on the economy. Epstein haunts him. Republicans are beginning to revolt against him.
He's not all powerful.
A tyrant can exercise tyranny only insofar as the objects of his tyranny continue to allow it.
Remember this.

Trump says Lisa Cook is unfit to be a Fed governor because she claimed two different properties as her primary residence on her mortgage applications. (Cook denies this.)
Trump did the exact same thing on mortgage applications submitted a mere 7 weeks apart.

If I hear one more fucking NFL pundit carry on about “the amazing strength of field goal kickers these days,” but make absolutely no reference to the fact that they use juiced balls to kick with now, I’m going to lose my fucking mind.
