Who Thinks That Secretly The Repugs Are Hoping Garland Comes Through And.....

[global1]

indicts TFG and TFG winds up with charges - holds him accountable - and maybe sends him to the pokey?

I think that they are hoping that Garland does that so that there is no way that TFG can become the 2024 Repug nominee and they can finally put TFG behind them.

They don't have the guts to do it themselves - but I think that they are pulling for Garland to do it for them. Then they could put up a fake outrage that this happened to TFG - but secretly - they will feel that they dodged a bullet that TFG is disqualified from running for the nomination.

It's a win-win for the Repugs if this happens. TFG would be a drain on the Repug Party and they know it. However, they don't know how they can have a different nominee than TFG for 2024 if TFG is still around and still dodging any accountability for his crimes.

They win because TFG won't be their nominee. They also win because they can feign outrage and still keep TFG's supporters on their side.

Is this just wishful thinking on my part or might I be on to something here?

1. A paradoxical win for the GOPers.

The GOP is far better off without their golden god slouching around and pontificating. Who can be happy about this guy? 98% of the public has an unfavorable view of Vlad the Butcher, and Trump is befriending him. So... you like Trump? You like Putin. So all of the little Trumpies will be gliding along the campaign trail and they're going to be asked to choose sides. How do you disown Trump and ride into town on his brand?

2. I dunno, maybe it's just me

but wouldn't it be a lot easier, and certainly a lot faster, to just denounce TFG and say right out loud that's he's not fit to be POTUS?

Duuuhhh

4. Yes - But They Are Cowards.....

They want to hold on to as many TFG supporters as they could, and they are afraid as to what TFG would do or say and how he could harm the Repug Party if they did take him out. They'd be worried that he'd take them out along with him. Who knows what he knows about them (blackmail) and who knows what lies he could make up to take them down.

3. I could definitely believe this.

Yes, I could easily believe this.

If only it would hurry up and happen!

5. Like Kremlings Wanting Putin Down

What an odd parallel — lackeys on two continents hoping that their head cockroach be taken out, lest said cockroach lead them all to perdition.

6. The two major nuclear powers thinking the same way...

Is it irony or terror that has me in its grip.

7. Follow the money.

The big loss will be to those heartless big businesses that threw billions down the the hole of dark money. Caught up in greed, sorry you lost both your money and your soul.....not

8. Wishful thinking. Too many are too implicated too deeply for it to be a net win for RepubliQonners.n

9. Too many of the Repugs are implicated in wrong doing.

They aren't protecting Trump, they are protecting themselves.

10. All this time and people still don't get republicans

Trump IS what party was always trending toward.

He is an unapologetic morally and ethically corrupt white supremist.

The TRUMP NO MORE BULLSHIT signs - THAT is what they are talking about.

Yeah, there are SOME, a very few, who are uncomfortable with him, but the overwhelming majority of both party and elected officials, and their voters truly look up to and worship him.

And, the only extent to which they want to see him indicted is that in their minds that will fully justify all the crazy ass shit they have done and are doing to destroy american democracy, and even better for them would in their minds justify them doing even worse shit.

11. No. Their nutty base might like it,

but if half of their party is sitting in jail, it will be hard to campaign.

12. Wishful thinking. A scorpion is a scorpion. Not one republican has any empathy or decency.
