Well, their fake Capitol Police pipe bomber story failed bigly, so they’re looking for the next ‘OMG LOOK OVER THERE!!!’ BS as we speak.

It probably ends (at minimum) with war in Venezuela. He still wants to use the Insurrection Act, too, but he’s being urged not to try that for now.

How bad is it gonna get

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

I think that depends on when this AI bubble finally bursts - if it finally bursts.

I’m surprised it’s doing as well as it is with everything that’s going on, honestly.

When do you think the bottom will drop out of the stock market? It seems rather high with what’s happening with the economy, and just all the uncertainty in general.

I have no idea, but I did borrow your photo! Thank you.

Rumors are that they’re expecting over 100 GOP votes.

We’ll see. I don’t trust them to not get coerced into voting no between now and then.

How many republicans will vote for the release next week do you think?

A fuck ton.

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.

How much trouble are we in if things pop off in Taiwan?

Trump really isn’t controlling much of anything at this point.

What you’re seeing is the Stephen Miller agenda.

How much longer will trump be able to maintain control?

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.

Is this a Nixon moment?

I hope so, but I’m skeptical. The cult will probably just call them Soros plants and move on.

Would be nice if they started voting with the Democrats, but they probably won’t

He’ll do that with every rep that speaks out against him - we’ve seen it with Massie, Rand Paul, etc.

No amount of loyalty is enough. You snub him once and he’ll turn on you.

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.

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?
