If the Republicans lose both houses next November, there will be nothing standing in the way of impeaching Trump.
So, winning the mid-terms is existential to him.
As the months tick down to the election, the risk of a full-on military takeover increases.

Hardly surprising that #Hegseth is so exercised by sen Kelly reminding the military that they are obliged by the constitution to disobey illegal orders.
Murdering Venezuelan fisherman because you believe without proof that they are smuggling drugs is ... an illegal order.

The BBC has censored some of this year's Reith lectures.
The line that's been removed is
"Donald Trump is the most openly corrupt president in American history.”
They've done this because they are scared of what this great proponent of free speech might threaten.

What's going to happen after the Epstein files are released and everyone can see that they have been scrubbed of anything remotely incriminating.
Will that be the end of the matter? Or will there be legal challenges?

Outrageous.
And cynical too, given that the origin of this censoring is an administration that goes on endlessly about 'freedom of speech.'

Timothy Snyder observed that Trump is probably jealous of Mamdani.
Mamdani went from Queens outsider to Manhattan insider and New Yorkers love him. Trump will always be a New York outsider. Which is why he's jealous of Mamdani and maybe explains his bizarre niceness in the Oval the other day.

The president of the Unted States doesn't have the legal power to decide on sentences for breaking the law - right?
So - if one of Trump's goons decides to act on his tweet - "... punishable by DEATH!" that would count as direct incitement by the president to murder a US citizen.

Whatever Epstein material does eventually get released - if any - you can be certain that none of it will implicate Trump.

Trump has lowered tariffs on certain goods in order to bring down their prices.
At the same time. Trump and his dementors insist that raising tariffs doesn't raise prices.

Why, you might wonder, has Trump told DoJ to investigate links between Clinton and Epstein?
Obvious, I thought. To deflect the attacks on him.
And then I realised that if there's such an investigation, it means that the Epstein files will be material evidence. So they can't be released, can they.

I'm beginning to think that the Epstein files are actually the distraction - to stop people watching carefully the implementation of P2025.
