    I think this is going to hurt the White House in the long run. By smearing these people individually, they are highlighting the fact that they are actual humans with life stories, rather than a swarm invading the country.

    The MAGA-sect comments are really frightening. Big resemblance to the Waffen-SS supporters like back in the day.

    The most heavily armed country in the world is run by someone with the emotional intelligence of a rhubarb and a cohort of sycophants. This is gonna bode well.

    So…

    When he does come back, how fucking weak and stupid is Trump going to look?

    He seems to think this is some liberal bullshit, he doesn’t even realize that he’s crossed the line

      I’m remembering his full-page ads calling for the death penalty for the Central Park 5.

      Garcia and his family have slam-dunk civil cases against Trump in both his personal and professional capacities.

          Even if the courts are all in, you need someone in law enforcement willing to act against him.

          Jack Smith is out of office.

            FYI, Federal Justices can hire special prosecutors & deputize citizens as federal marshals, they don’t actually need the DoJ to administer justice.

            The Presidental pardon is the only issue here, but kidnapping is also a state crime.

              They would have to declare him illegitimate and thus intelligible to grant pardon. Which he is under the 14th amendment.

              They would also need to ignore the supreme court, but if we ever get that far, it goes without saying.

                The president cannot pardon a state crime. Kidnapping is both a state and a federal crime. If convicted in state court, the president is powerless to pardon.

        Yes, but have you ever seen a vice president as visible and vocal as this one?

          That’s a good point, but I don’t think Vance has the charisma to step into Trump’s boots. For all of Donald’s faults, and there are many, he is a very charismatic person. He has (or had depending on his level of senility) a natural skill at making people around him like him when he wants to. I don’t think Vance has those skills and without Trump to rally around MAGA as we know it won’t live past Trump. Now a form neo-MAGA can emerge, or it can crumble but thankfully JD doesn’t have what it takes to carry Trump’s torch.

            If the system gets rigged enough, Trump won’t be necessary. Cultists will not drop their position and they have infinite money and all the media to keep this “magic” going.

            I obviously have a different definition of “charismatic” to many other people, because Trump has zero charisma in my eyes. He was repugnant in the 80s and he’s repugnant today.

              That’s because you’re not a vapid narcissist who only ever uses people and are probably a boring regular everyday person who can see that bullshit from a mile away. I still think he has high charisma, but yeah he’s definitely not rolling 30s like other big personalities.

        They know, that’s why the oligarchs will prop another one.

        I am of the opinion that Trump is a pazi should shit hits the fan. The billionaires-- the true rulers-- will be scot free if the American people decide to rise up.
