Yeah, we’ll see. His weapon has been the primaries, and he can only do that once more in what is likely a lame duck period. Either because he won’t be successful to find a way to ignore term limits, or - fingers crossed - he’ll die.

The lazy, brazen last stages of the grift. The final greasy payday before they put out their lit cigar on america’s bare ass and laugh at the world for being so fucking stupid to have let them into power.

This is great, but the lack of recent Trumpist noise trying to suppress voting makes me worry that they are less concerned about blocking people from voting anymore than they already have, and have moved to a vote-transformation/changing strategy to just manipulate the results where they’re counted intead. These people will ALL go to prison and lose their fortunes if a fair election is allowed, there’s no way they DON’T dick with it somehow.

Expanding their failed air campaign against Iran has no bearing on the committee investigations that Democratic majorities can use if the midterms go as expected. Quite the opposite - it will provide more exposure since most of what they’re doing is not just immoral and ineffective, but totally illegal. Even after Pearl Harbor, the president sought congressional approval for the war against Japan. Trump the Fool fell prey to Netanyahu’s scheme to do the dirty work for him, assuming it would be as effortless as the Venezuelan Job.

I agree it will continue, but what does escalation look like? Boots on the ground will be a bloodbath, even the vulgar talking yam understands that and it’s why he hasn’t done it yet. The first footage of slaughtered Marines and smouldering Abrams tanks would be an instant impeachment and such a brutal display of wasted american casualties might well be enough to get the 2/3 majority required to impeach a lame duck presidency. There are probably more Republicans too than we realize who would welcome a way to get rid of a Trump. Nobody expects him to leave peacefully in 2028, other than waiting for a sufficiently large stroke. He is an obese octogenarian rageaholic troll who is blocking their own futures as much as he is the decent portion of the world’s path forward.

Part of me thought Ukraine might think it more demoralizing for the Russians if they pause, watch for where the Russians scurry to bring stuff online and then destroy that first in their next wave.

Maybe. Seems a long bet to get any additional votes. They blame Ukraine already, because they don’t even think. They just follow the vulgar talking yam with smooth brain, slack jawed hypnosis.

Probably not the end, but likely a shifting into a new phase. One where he’ll simply ignore outcomes, rules, boundaries, orders. You know - like he always does. Except worse. Always, always, somehow…worse.

There’s gonna be violence. And death. You’re not getting him out of there except in a body bag.
