    Well, Trump'll probably be dead.

    God I hope so. But there will be others still around unfortunately. World would be so much better if they all got hit by busses tomorrow but one can dream.

    That's what the Justice Department will do. This is just a committee doing fact-finding and making a report. It's neither been fast nor slow. It's government.

    But I bet you this: In the end, the whole point, the whole sub-text, is to give the Justice Dept enough to indict and convict him. The plan is to get a felony conviction against him before he can become president again because then he could never become president again.

    That is what I think the unsaid endgame is.

    Well, being a felon doesn't bar you from becoming president. If the voters are stupid enough to vote you in, you could probably even be president while in prison.

    And you have politicians like Lake in Arizona who just won the primary there, but claimed voter fraud against her own party.

    Section 3 of the 14th Amendment sets out the procedure. It provides that “no person” shall hold federal office who, “having previously taken an oath” as a federal officer “to support the Constitution of the United States,” has “engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same.”

    The reality is, if Republicans actually want to win they should support this. Or Trump will drag the whole party further than he already has. He will run as a 3rd party candidate, removing any chance of DeSantis (or any other republican) winning.

    And I feel like there will be another republican who runs as a 3rd party to prevent Trump as well. If Trump isn't properly dealt with I think the Republicans are cooked.

    Trump will call his new party Truth Social.....meaning whatever he writes on social media should be taken as the truth.

    Let him run as a third party. Easy win for the Dems.

    Yep. Just sayin, I think protecting him is a miscalculation on the Republicans behalf.

    I think barfo parks his ship in Haiti so he's probably talking about Papa Doc Duvalier

    She might be the dumbest person I've ever seen.

    And I've seen Trump.

    Jesus fucking Christ you people, they aren't dumb. They aren't playing dumb. They're saying this shit on purpose. They weaponize words, and sometimes that means they don't make sense to people who aren't being hypnotized by them. These words aren't mistakes. There is no hypocrisy or gotchas or misnomers or poorly read christians. They say this on purpose to weaponize their hate. Feelings don't care about your facts.

    No. They're dumb. That's my feeling and that's a fact.

    Both can be true. They can be dumb and evil. And indeed, they are.
