We are now seeing the tip of what I suspect is one of the darker icebergs ever to float in these waters—especially if the now-scuttled investigation took any pains to investigate how Trump as POTUS tried to help cover for a pedophile.

It is possible Gaetz-as-AG was a boon to both of these vile men.

Of course the reality is that a vote to convict would have precluded Trump from running for president again and would have saved the United States from descending into a fascist tyranny that could hasten the collapse of democracy worldwide

But you know other than that minor point Thune has it right
New Senate Majority Leader Thune's statement on verdict in Trump's second impeachment.

"What former President Trump did to undermine faith in our election system and disrupt the peaceful transfer of power is inexcusable."

Says voted to acquit because impeachment designed for removal from office.

The reason this phenomenon matters and is worth talking about is because acknowledging how many underestimated the threat of Trump over the last decade underscores for us that it is time for that underestimation to end forever. Every person who loves democracy needs to be on the same page on this.

A racist in a made up job that doesn't require Senate confirmation. What could go wrong?
He went to a white supremacist conference, then refused to denounce the white supremacists who organized it.

Now, as “border czar,” he’ll oversee Trump’s mass deportations. My look at Tom Homan

Anyone keeping track of who has been selected for which positions in the next administration? I want to share with others so they understand the degree of fascism and depravity that will fill the government.

I had a The Cycle subscriber ask me why I said that if you are a trans family with minor children in a red state, GTFO

They are going to come for you. They think you abused your children. They already doing it in TX and now the will be nothing to stop them.
I feel Trans and nonbinary people (1.5% of the pop.) are in immediate danger after Jan 20. Gay marriage and equal rights likely will be attacked soon after that. MAGA has their priorities and it's not the economy.

These guys want conflict with blue states. They want to ensure there is nowhere safe. This is a threat and the question is whether any governors will step up and push back.
Incoming Trump border czar Tom Homan on blue state governors saying they will protect people from deportation raids: "If you're not gonna help us, get the hell out of the way. Because we're going to do it ... we may have to double the number of agents we send to New York City."

As a Trump biographer I'll say this however many times folks need to hear it: it won't be OK. It's going to be worse than you imagine. Trump was a national emergency starting years ago; no one took seriously those who said so. Media normalized him and Musk—who's just as dangerous. A hurricane nears.
