How fitting that we now hear all the crazy discussions Trump was in with his staffers and top.....

officials? Just what the hell were they afraid of? Trump’s demented mind was evident even before he the scam he tried to pull off against our democracy! To me, it sounds like a total scam from the GOP? They knew that they could make money off the fund raising on Trump’s coattails! Just like Trump, they just set back waited for their base to buy the “big lie” and show their support their leader despite knowing what was going to happen on J6. It was totally about power and money!

Liz Chaney is likely going to lose her seat. Every other republicans who spoke out against Trump is basically exiled from the republican party. There is a reason we call them a cult.

It's like the Nazis hiding with Hitler in the Bunker during the last days of WWII. Hitler's ranting. Not making sense. And he makes crazy assessments, followed by crazy orders. If you don't obey, you are summarily shot. And you know he can get away with it.

Some of Trump's toadies were corrupt and went along for the ride. Obeying him was not an issue.

Others were truly afraid of him and his whims. He could make things happen as long as he was President.
