This makes it clear to me that they are pissed that we are not afraid of them and nobody is physically attacking them.
They have no idea what to do if we don’t match their rage and violence. Zero backup plan.

You know much more than I do: Have we sowed the seeds for chaos in Venezuela? Nobody is in charge. Trump is threatening the VP if she pushes back on anything.
In Iraq, we at least had troops on the ground. It took months for the chaos to really hit (correct?).
Different countries. Similar outcome?

Fascinating that neither Epstein nor Jack Smith are being discussed this morning.
Almost like that was Trump’s real objective.
And nothing about his quickly declining health either.

Yes- you know much better than I do. But, when do the judges stop trusting the US Justice Department?
There is decorum and deference, as there should be in normal/historical times. But, we are not in normal times.
The judiciary is handcuffed on the current path = no justice.

Walter Reed kept Storm Thurmond alive to 100+ when he was in his final term as US Senator. He died less than 6 months after returning to South Carolina.
Why do we think they cannot/will not do this to Trump?
The experts are talking about ‘normal’ people.
25th? nope. Cabinet would need nards.

Added $8 Trillion to our debt with his two wars, but particularly Iraq. Trump might exceed this?
~6500 US soldiers killed. 200,000+ civilians killed in Iraq. Nearly 1 million killed in the post 9/11 wars/conflicts.
Really hope Trump does not come close to this. But, who knows?

JFC Horrible humans. They don’t give a single shit about their most loyal supporters.
Dems are hardly doing a great job. But they don’t hate their voters.
I grew up Pentecostal. Most of my family voted for Trump 3 times. I don’t even try. Ugh.

Someone needs to tell him that bluntly. If he is not horrified by that comparison- he is too far gone.
