Several times I have read about Vance being a Trojan Horse.

In fact, it's been posted here on DU at least twice that I've seen, if not more.

I'm not a conspiracy theorist, either, but I'm prone to believe the Trojan Horse theory. Primarily because Republicans, imo, want 2025 so bad they can taste it.

They've been working on this goal for decades. Seriously, we can travel as far back to the FDR era; pre WWII. Remember General Smedley Butler: wealthy members of the business community recruited him for an insurrection against FDR in 1933. Fortunately for America their fascism attempt failed. And, hopefully they'll fail again this time around.

TFG was/is a good vehicle to divide our country. His ability to tap into what is his base. True believers. Primed to listen to, and repeat each lie or rationale TFG spouts. He's even "taught" them to be violent. TFG and his Maggats frighten regular, positive thinking Americans through not only violence but through bullying, intimidation, threats to them or their families, including gun-toting men with shotguns. Hell, some even plotted to kidnap and kill my Governor (Whitmer, Michigan).

The Powers that Be has put up with TFG's bullshit and rhetoric because he's the vehicle to gain the White House, along with the help of changing to unfair laws, cheating, and let's throw in Putin.

If they win, and of course TFG continues to deteriorate, he's going to have to go. But I'm not sure the 25th Amendment would safely work.

His Maggats would revolt from betrayl. All hell would break loose.

I'm thinking he'd either have to become very ill, or die for Vance to be accepted. Even then the conspiracy theories will be in full swing, along with a few fists.

I know I'm just rambling. I don't post much, and when I do, it's nothing like one, lol.

Serious question: What is TFG jacked up on?

He is lucid. If I didn't know better, I'd listen to him, and possibly believe him. All his lies. If I'm a low-info voter ... would I fall for this? I sure hope not. His lies would fill multiple garbage trucks.

I don't have to explain the differences in his usually erratic behaviors to my fellow DUers
So,

what the fuck is he on?

What does he or any GOP'er know about Checks & Balances?

I'd like to C&B him.

Their C&B's are far too dysfunctional, and have no real meaning

Remember back in the day when they thought Hillary was going to win? They bragged about how they were going to weigh her down with multiple Congressional hearings. They had mountains of files. They bragged about it! I heard one say they had 5 years of material -- whatever that means.

Imagine how disappointed they were when Donald won, lol. The poor things - all excited to be on TeeVee, with their posturing, sound bites, and faux disgust. Oh, my!

Well, they'll be thwarted again when we have the House and the Senate. Yay!

I've had labs drawn every month, sometimes twice.

There's no problem. You have wear your mask. They'll probably take your temp, ask a few questions, sanitize your hands, then let you go get your lab work.

At least that's how it's done in my neck of the woods.

This is how I see Donald's future ...

I was reading in another thread that the Trumps want to own their own media to take on Fox. I think it's a pipe dream, specifically because I don't think they can afford it, and I'm not so sure they'd be able to find the financial backing.

So, I got to thinking what life would be like for Donald after we elect President Joe Biden ...

Once out of the powerful Oval Office ...

Donald, his kids and company will be bogged down in legal issues and legal bills.

He won't have the RNC or campaign donations to pay his and Don Jr.'s way anymore. I suppose they could start a GoFundMe.

I'm sure opportunistic lawyers won't deem him worth their while to defend anymore. Some may, but Donald is facing deep legal problems. Who wants to sign on knowing Donald is notorious on stiffing attorneys?

Unlike now, with family and sycophants propping him up to make him presentable to the world, he'll be a pathetic, senile old man who won't have much to offer. He'll rage on and rage Tweet, but after a short while, who cares what he has to say anymore? Donald may go down rather quickly.

And his kids? Presently they're only useful to people who try to capitalize on the old man while still in office. Once he's out? Well, his kids and son-in-law aren't too bright or even likable.

I could be way off base, but am curious as to DU's speculation.

Speculating on Trump's tax returns:

I can't remember who sorta alluded in either last week's hearing, or yesterday's (I'm having a fist fight with cancer, and, well, I get forgetful, so I hope your thought processes are better than mine) where in one of those hearings an answer was given that they're (FBI) looking at "everything". Tax returns were mentioned (I think by Al Franken).

During today's press conference, Sean Spicer made a quick reference that Trump has a NY law office that will write a certified letter indicating he has no Russian financial ties. No reporter asked a follow up question.

I sat here growling and laughing at my TV.

So, now Comey is fired, the FBI is in a tailspin, & no doubt Trump will appoint a spineless lackey.

Does Trump really think he can keep his taxes secret from us forever?

As an aside, NY state is looking at legislation that in order to run for POTUS you have to submit your returns.

And like a good kitty, he made a mess.

O'Keefe's targeting Planned Parenthood for selling aborted body parts.

Argh ...

Just saw one of his tweets about a video catching Planned Parenthood selling aborted body parts.

I wish I could paste the Twitter here for you to see, but I did Google it, and I saw that only the right wing is reporting this shit.

I'm on my cell phone and my it's difficult to copy/paste links. I'm hoping someone here can check out this asshole's lying lies. Thanks.

Argh ....

Cops Throw YouTube Prankster To Ground For Dancing Behind Them

Fired & reported to the Secret Service

No self-awareness. No decorum. No remorse. No sense.

I truly worry about my president.
