The tradition of former presidents largely giving the stage to their replacements is over. Every misstatement or foot-in-mouth will be fodder for his tweets


But it's still better than the alternative.

If anything, he'll do enough to keep the GOP under his thumb, so the ones who have enabled him don't throw him under the bus.

Jim Vandahi said this morning that even if he loses this makes him even stronger.

Every cock roach in the country came out of the woodwork to vote for HIM yesterday and muted a washout in congress and gave this POS a chance to actually win after four years of relentless horribleness.

Along with that, nearly every R who backed his play time after time after time congress won reelection. Despite how bad it was, Rs mostly rode it out ...

Their take away is that more fascism is good, and this guy OWNS their zombie base.

Yes, Joe will be POTUS and that flips a script a bit ... But, if he does not have Schumer as senate leader he will not get much of anything done. He can't transform or rebalance the system.

Meanwhile IF they get can get him out of the whitehouse, 45 will lord the zombie base, and along with it the scumbags in congress who gave him absolute fielty to for four years.

He WILL be the candidate in 2024 ...

remain vigilant. McConnell is as much a threat to the country as Trump. We have a lot of work ahead of us.

Donald Trump isn't the problem. The problem is that roughly half of this country live in a different reality. They aren't going anywhere. And I believe that they are capable of armed conflict with the rest of us.
