The man is a poisonous slug, and always has been. Has he ever added anything positive to the political discourse in this country? Absolutely not. He's a bomb thrower whose only intent has been to incite the mob. And I doubt he's ever he even believed half the krap he spews. Not as long as the money keeps rolling in.

Mitch (Buchanan) will figure out a way to gracefully raise the flag of surrender. Never thought that I would consistently say good things about Mitt Romney and Liz Cheney, but they are the only two republicans who have stood up to Trump to any appreciable extent.

If Trump and other high level people end up being prosecuted, the Republicans will definitely throw Trump and his magats under the bus. That’s one of many reasons it’s essential that these criminals face justice.

If the Senate doesn’t remove Trump, it will again boil down to us to keep him out of the White House, even if he is convicted of state crimes. Republican voters will still nominate Trump, even if he was running around with leg irons on.

He has no chance of winning a general election. It’s in their best interest to ditch the guy. Not saying they necessarily will but they should if they want to have a shot at winning in 2024.

He may not win a General, but he can primary a lot of them and get them defeated in the primary, that is what they are afraid of.

Or perhaps Q? Lol
Attack McConnell!
Or maybe Hannibal suggested it to 45, who gave the thumbs up. Or the white power sign?

Wondering how he'll react. More inclined to convict? I think so.
I guess their sh*t show continues, while the majority of us try not to pay attention, as we wait for news of their implosion.

If the rethugs have a civil war, remember they're the ones with the guns. Perhaps they'll do a lot of damage to one another.
