It's academic for me to say it, almost sounds foolish, but since John Roberts anointed Trump as the Christ Child, Trump has taken that to mean "I can do whatever the fuck I want, any TIME I want, ALL of the rules are GONE."
And Republicans are backing him every step of the way.
So the issue is less "What's going on TODAY" and more "What's going to be happening a year from now, if Trump's still breathing?"
100% of Washington DC, dipped in fake gold?
And I think I'm ready to bet my left nut that a Ghislane Maxwell pardon is a guarantee for 2026.

(12,561 posts)To come back for and more crimes, with zero control, is like feeding a stray raccoon. It will keep coming back and bite your ass with rabies if you try to stop afterward.

(22,055 posts)Trump has been stalled, stymied and restrained numerous times over the past year.
No troops deployed in Portland or Chicago
Kilmer Garcia is free on US soil
Indictments against Comey and James dismissed
Etc, etc.
Just because he acts with lawless impunity doesnt negate this one absolute truth:
Trump is not omnipotent, and the states and the people are not powerless.

(21,801 posts)Those were absolutely setbacks, but he's the proverbial bull in a china shop.
For every 3 plates that were rescued, 10 were smashed on the floor.
When his setbacks have the same pace as his "flooding the zone," then I'll feel like progress has been made.

(6,187 posts)course, that means he will stay in office past the next three years. A network wag yesterday called Rubio the new "Viceroy" of Venezuela. It's about the Gilded Age of colonialization.
