Merrick Garland was a horse's arse who did more to cover up The Mad King's scandals than almost anyone else while acting like the one who was going to put a stop to all the bullshit.
It just lets me know that we likely wouldn't have been any better off if he had been put on SCOTUS than we ended up.

I think it still matters - even the files that are being released in the drip drip drip are having an impact. There are enough of the real files out there that it would be easy enough to see if they’ve been edited.
Remember, we aren’t targeting this base. We are targeting independents.

Will it even matter if the Epstein files are released anymore? They’ve been in the possession of Trump’s cronies for so long now that anything they produce is bound to be heavily redacted, or – worse – rewritten to make Trump look like a choir boy.

Reposted by Birdmischief
It feels like it, but the issue with Nixon is that the GOP actually gave a shit about their oaths of office back then.
That’s not the case now. They’ve completely abdicated their duty.
If the rumors of a mass-GOP defection on the files come to fruition, we might be closer to a real Nixon moment.

People always ask me what they should pay attention to that they probably aren’t already, and China/Taiwan is normally my answer.
China is really leaning into their ‘grey zone’ strategy and they’re putting a lot of pressure on Taiwan. They’re really hoping to provoke a response.

If that one is real I have to blast it out. It’ll drive Trump crazy.

Any thought that Trump will resign for “medical reasons” and then President Vance (barf!) will immediately pardon him? Does he still think he’s Teflon?

It’s probably not super likely right now, but if the news (and his polling) continues to get worse, the GOP might encourage it in an attempt to save the midterms.
If they do, I think Trump will burn the whole party down on his way out the door. He’s that vindictive.

Trump ousted/resigns for sure. Vance will be the lamest of the lame duck presidents. Nobody is afraid of him like they are Trump.

Best case scenario, in your opinion...Trump is ousted, JD Vance is in for the interim but voted out in 2028
OR
Trump finishes out term.

The people who have heard Trump bragging about walking through a dressing room of teenage girls, seen pics of him partying with Epstein, who know he was convicted of sexual assault, and been accused by DOZENS of women, are the same people urging us not to rush to any judgment.

Pam Bondi will not have a license to practice law when this is all over. You can’t stay a bar member and agree to investigate only members of one political party for child sexual abuse but not members of the other. And, you can’t do it after previously saying no one else could be charged.
