To follow on to Albaby's point:
Trump is stuck and lashing out and roaring and flailing, and sinking deeper and deeper .
His next move is practically immaterial. His presidency is in shambles, and he has lost control of enough Republicans who have to run for reelection to break his fever-hold on MAGA.
Domino Number Two:
"Representative Jared Golden (D-ME) announced that a bipartisan bill to repeal Trump’s executive order stripping the union rights from federal workers now has enough votes on a discharge petition to bring it before the House. Golden and Representative Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA) introduced the bill in April, but Johnson refused to bring it up. In June, Golden launched a discharge petition to force it to the floor.
Democrats and three Republicans signed the petition, but it was still two votes short of adoption. Today, Republican lawmakers Nick LaLota and Mike Lawler of New York signed it, bringing the number of signatures on the petition to 218. Enough Republican members have joined with the Democrats to override Johnson and challenge Trump’s executive order."

You are trillions in the hole -- some of it from Trump.
His family has businesses from Gaza to Saudi to Venezuela - on your dime.
He was President once.
he shit on your capitol on 1/6.
He got re-elected.
He has gutted some of your institutions -
And HE is the one in quicksand?
Why - he will leave office?
Yeah, ok.
Too late kiddo -- he got you good. Haha

How come you aren't saying our capitol? A good chunk of the time you seem to think you are separated and detached from the rest of us.

I am.
I learned from the Left along ago that the whole being 'one nation' and united, with common cause, common history, common civics is 50's bullshit.
Seems much of the nation has caught on ;)
15-20 years ago 1/6 would've made me cry. It would've made me contribute, vote, persuade others to.
Now, it was either a non-event, or somewhat funny. It's also...the firm hand of discipline.
Respectful question, respectful straight up transparent answer. Thanks.

1/6/21 riot was a direct result of the George Floyd Riots the prior summer as well as Antifa and Black Lives Matter.
All of those 3 movements sent the message loud and clear that political violence is not only encouraged, it is the right thing to do if your cause is just and you are speaking truth to power.
All signed sealed and approved by the MSM.
All watched by people including the people who were involved in 1/6.
What better way of speaking truth to power than to go to the seat of power in the U.S.--the Congress building--and literally speak truth to power?
Since the message was given by the Left and MSM that ACAB, the fact that a few law enforcement personnel were injured in the process is a feature, not a bug.
1/6/ rioters learned their lessons well from the radical Left. Except they are not nearly as powerful and contradict the Leftoid narrative, so they were all targeted by Biden.

An absolute crock. It was arranged by Trump and Co., an attempt to stay in power.

I am Bill and I approve of this message.
Still “up north”, enjoying a few hours of freedom from the nonsense. Reading a trashy novel, watching the fire and petting the dog.
But yeah- the outlandishness of some of our fellow posters is over the top ”nuts”.
The pure insane framing of the right wing ecosphere has turned the critical thought processes of some to mush.
Imagine if you will……… Ketanji Brown-Jackson being asked a technical question and giving an answer in the same vein…… and by the time it is digested by FOXNews, it emerges from their anus-mouths as “Ketanji doesn’t know the difference between a man and a woman.”
Their goal isn’t understanding. It’s character assassination.
I’ll stop now, before marco calls me a pedophile again.

As I would see it, you think you are, but you really aren't.
