The Teflon is almost completely off Stinky

[BaronChocula]

The President of the United States is taunting him.
Nikki Haley, a Republican woman of color is taunting him (with no fear)
The doofus goopers are admitting they're open to supporting Haley (the ones that aren't swatting her home)
He's loosing money in case after case
His age is showing
His schtick is getting old and wearing on people
Fox News has imposed a "soft ban" on him
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/mar/03/fox-news-soft-ban-trump-murdoch-sean-hannity
Republican infighting is increasing over support for Trump's wishes

I don't know if this means the cult will disband and personally I don't care about them. It does mean that his appeal to swing/independent/squishy center voters will all but erode completely as he continues to lose it. It will be like this scene below from "Training Day."

1. Question

What's the soft ban from Faux? I haven't heard about that.
I am, however, still waiting for repetitive "Republicans is disarray" pieces on MSM.
When that happens, and TFG is given the Blane, then I'll know the PTFE is gone.

6. The "soft ban" coverage is in the Guardian link below that bullet point

I had read about it somewhere else, but just Googled it and found the Guardian article.

14. Thanks!

I'll go back and read it.

[BaronChocula]

15. I didn't notice

that the article is actually from almost a year ago. My bad!

[viva la]

2. I remember so many people thought Bragg was wrong to proceed to indictment first on a "minor crime".

But what he did was break through Trump's supposed protection. After that, it was easier for the others to break through too. And now Trump doesn't seem so invulnerable. Someone had to start though to get everyone to realize he could be got.

Same with all the sudden cracks in his illusion of total power.
I thought when those 6 or so GOPers decide to contest in the primary, well, no matter how much they said they bowed to the boss, they thought he was vulnerable. Or they'd never have declared for president. Yeah, most quit early and kissed the ring. But so many relatively plausible candidates willing to compete against him, it was clear that he didn't have the 100% fealty he claimed.

Anyway, good points!
I also have to say that the "stinky Trump" meme actually broke through finally, and it's just the juvenile bullying sort of insult that his minions love when he does it. Turning it against him is brilliant.

7. Well put

The privilege dam has burst. I would never be able to recall which case came first, but good for you for remembering it was Bragg. I remember when it was announced that case would go forward a super-liberal friend took to FB to post something to the effect of "I can't believe that this is the case the Democrats are going to lead with. If this is how they're going to play it they can count me out!" I wanted to explain that this was a legal case and not a coordinated "Act of Democrats," but you know how it is when people get hot under the collar. I just left it alone.

10. That's the word I was searching for-- privilege

I'm fuzzy-headed tonight... no good words!

3. Orange Bastard is a fucking piss-soaked dog turd. Piss on that fucking turd.

8. Only if he's not on fire n/t

[Beakybird]

4. The Guardian article is from March, 2023. Come on!

[BaronChocula]

9. There goes my due diligence.

My mistake.

[honest.abe]

5. Trump has peaked and it all downhill from here.

[BaronChocula]

11. On the nose

I think his shelflife resembles that of Joe McCarthy, Roy Cohn connection aside.

12. The winds are shifting

The public is beginning to see Trump for who and what he is, a pathetic con-artist who can barely string a complete thought together, a man-baby with no self-control, someone completely contemptuous of the rule of law, and a man sinking deeper into a cognitive abyss.

This is January. It's not going to get better.

The legal system for all its faults and slo-mo aspects is grinding forward.

The True Believers will never see the fault lines; they are willfully blind.

But for women, the young, dedicated Dems, many Indies, union people and their families and a large swath of our minority population, the truth is undeniable.

Trump and his acolytes are toxic seditionists, filled with hate, malice and grievance. Nothing more.

We're going to crush their asses.

13. "This is January. It's not going to get better."

That says it all.
