Sadly I don't think we see the end of Trump until either an heroic Big Mac steps up alongside a chunk of burnt T-bone and takes him out, or he goes out like Nelson Rockefeller, content in the arms of a porn star.

"Cautiously optimistic". Not even allowing myself to trust or hope, what a way to live! I tell you what feels good - seeing some crazy punk taken to the woodshed and having the shit beat out of him with his own gun and a pair of high heels. Frontier justice may be our last hope because even karma looks to be on the take.

Waffling between the two positions hourly, as well.

I'm not in the US right now and it's sad for me to say that " Yes , sometimes geographic cures actually do work for an escape plan.

Jack Smith just arrived from Deadwood.

Curious how long and onerous the path, this quivering jello mold of oleaginous sewage has taken our DOJ down. I lost hope long ago, when Garland was appointed.

Now coach Beard is about to take a-whack- at this fucking mole. I wish him well, but remain dubious of a mobbed-up, Russian asset doing any time before being measured for the dirt nap!

One thing is certain. Who the heck knows what is going to happen! It’s like they all run and hide or wait for the next guy to do the job. I guess Trump has something going on that they are all afraid of! He takes classified information to his vacation home. Leaves it out on the floor. And their not sure if he’s done something wrong. Hmmm...sounds like covering up a cover up! What does this guy have to do wrong that everyone agrees on? He’s done it all!

If you really want to French press some rage go back and watch Active Measures again - think about where we are now with Russia actively invading Ukraine, TFG in business with Oman, back on Twitter, Facebook and Cambridge Analytica unpunished- and everyone forgetting completely how dirty this January 6 ring leader is not just with Russia but self-dealing with China, India, Brazil, everywhere he owns “luxury hotels” and money laundering condos.

Hello 👋 the Republican Party changed their platform and no longer wants to support Ukraine.

...the subject of the first impeachment.

Where Russia is currently committing atrocities and war crimes seeking their prize 🏆 queen they will never have again.

Outstanding, enviable writing, Greg. But you’re still hopeful.. about the newest dragon slayer? Maybe hope springs eternal when you’re 50... I can’t recall! At this point I’m just hoping TFG isn’t elected again.

Hesitation marks

Pelosi waited to long to draw the knife.

Bill Barr could have taken out Trump.

He didnt!

Barrs current diatribe about not recommending Donald for president in 2024

is just more Bill bull shit.

Barr has been a bull shitter for half a century.

His memo to me sounded like an endorsement if Donald could stick to policy and not talk about how to grab women.

Sex and presidents. Reminds me of a LBJ ALLEGED quote. " I screwed more women in the basement of the White House than JFK" could imagine.

How about we just run Jack Smith for President and skip the sex soap opera.

"chief of the Public Integrity Section of the Justice Department, which handles additional public corruption cases, including ones involving members of Congress."

If anyone might have the temerity to bust the Republican Reps. who voted to not certify Biden's electors, gave recon tours to insurrectionists on Jan 5, etc., maybe Smith is the real thing.

Another way to defang Trump is to closely examine his foreign policy disasters and corruption. This is clearly a case of a bull in a China closet, whose vision only extends to the tip of his nose, and who is solely reliant on Putin's GPS. We are still living with the consequences today, including Putin's Ukraine invasion:

I've had full confidence in Garland since day 1, but that's because I don't listen to the idiot lawyers on twitter. Half the time they are full of shit, but they have lots of followers so they must be experts! Allison Gill has it right. Different AG, different president. Now with the special counsel, Garland's time won't be wasted at stupid congressional hearings. He's still got a lot of other criming to investigate. Hang in there, it's about to get fun.
