Holy shit, We are going to enjoy watching the civil war within the Republican Party.

[fightforfreedom]

This is going to be something to behold. The Republicans know they have to dump Trump or they are screwed. Trump is going to go into full attack mode against Desantis, Moscow Mitch and the Democrats. All of this is going to take place at the same time all the investigations come to a head.

Get your popcorn ready, get your cocktails ready, this is going to be payback for all the bullshit we had to witness the past 6 years.

The American people are going to witness a shit storm called the Republican Party. They are not going to like it.

[Beachnutt]

1. Run conman Run...

[electric_blue68]

19. Baaaahahahaaaaaaa 😂 Glorious photo! Ty! 👏

[mitch96]

42. Hopefully if TFG runs he will split the party and it will go down in flames...again...nt

[MLAA]

2. Looking forward to it.

I rather hope inept and cowardly McCarthy is chosen for Speaker so we can watch him try and referee the shit show in the House!

Edited to add cowardly!

[fightforfreedom]

5. Good point about McCarthy.

He is a coward and he is also extremely incompetent. This is not talked about enough. The extremists are extremely incompetent.

[MLAA]

24. New word: extremistly-incompetent!

[Ocelot II]

3. It might be like the time they blew up a dead beached whale

and there were stinky rotting whale guts all over everybody.

[GenXer47]

16. omg and hahaha!

At 2:19 - "Our cameras stopped rolling immediately after the blast; the humor of the entire situation gave way to a run for survival, as huge chunks of whale blubber fell everywhere."

[SeattleVet]

31. Perfectly illustrating what happens when you put the wrong people in charge of something.

Just because someone is good at something (like, just as an example, hosting a reality TV show) doesn't mean that they will be in any way competent when selected to perform another function (like presidenting, running a casino business, etc.).

[BlueTsunami2018]

4. I agree, this is going to be awesome.

The backstabbing, the bus tossing, Тяцмр demanding his spot or he’ll burn the whole party down.

This is going to be very interesting.

[regnaD kciN]

7. I haven't seen this much preemptive schadenfreude...

…since Trump announced his previous run in 2015, and Democrats were all laughing in anticipation of him thoroughly splitting the Republican Party in 2016.

How did that work out for us?

Anyone who thinks this is funny rather than dangerous is being blind. Whatever the initial fireworks between TFG and InSantis, it likely will be resolved after the first couple of primaries if not before, and the GQP will quickly unite behind the winner, who will be the biggest possible danger to our democracy ever in two years.

[PJMcK]

8. Exactly

It's very dangerous to celebrate before the battles have even begun.

[Elessar Zappa]

9. I doubt Trump could win again.

And yes, I thought Trump could easily win in 2016. Just look at the results of this election. Most Trump-endorsed candidates lost. He’s not winning the swing states in 2024.

[CountAllVotes]

22. dump is poison

Best for the pukes to dump him now before he grows longer tentacles!

[BlueTsunami2018]

10. That was then.

People saw his act and they didn’t like it. There’s nearly no way he can win the Presidency again. I want him to kneecap DeSantis.

The other fun stuff will be the infighting over Speaker and Senate minority leader. The crazy vs. the really crazy.

[fightforfreedom]

14. I don't think so.

This is a Party that is coming apart at the seams. Do you really think they will rally around Trump. He would get destroyed in 2024. Trump is going to damage Desantis the Dork in the primary. Plus all the investigations are going to come to a head while this beautiful self destruction is taking place.

You are free to think the worst but I am going to enjoy what is coming.

[Joinfortmill]

29. Me too

[rubbersole]

35. tfg is exposed as a fraud and big-time loser.

Everything he does will be a clown show for the ages. Popcorn 🍿 city!

[hunter]

32. We'd seen this before in California when Arnold Schwarzenegger was elected governor.

Arnold wasn't quite the catastrophe Trump turned out to be, maybe because Arnold, with all his faults, is not a humorless incurious psychopath like Trump.

[SWBTATTReg]

6. And the bickering and infighting continues. My popcorn is hot and buttered and I'm

enjoying it. There are many over the last few years that left the republican/trump party and didn't stay to try and guide the republican party back to normality.

They abandoned it, a nice touch when you have former GOP representatives that run at the first sign of trouble, and don't stay to try and keep the voice of sanity still in the party. Bodes well when these people try and claim that they know what is best for the Country. Yeah, right...you have a nice way of showing it. What happens when some serious issues affect the Country? Are you going to abandon the Country in its time of need like you did then, when you left the toxic republican/trump party?

[haele]

11. I'm getting an ear-worm from Hamilton...

King George's third song... "Who is Next?".
"Next to Pelosi they all look small..."
"... They will tear themselves to pieces, Jesus Christ, this will be fun, La-di-da-de-dah..."

A bit of humor in a sorry situation.

Haele

[ffr]

12. I'll only feel vindication after the RW scab voters repent for their stupid brainwashed mistake

I want to see them in tears for the absolute horror show they've wrought on this nation and other Americans. Their twisted experiment that not only weakened our nation, but caused countless deaths, both here on American soil and abroad. It wasn't funny and they should feel the full brunt of their shame!

Then I'll break out the popcorn and watch the republican tribalism fully devolve.

[erronis]

47. Hope you have th patience of that mythical Job. They ain't never gonna admit their errors.

Might as well have a few bags of popcorn while waiting, tho.

[malaise]

13. And then some

😀😀😀😀😀

[Carlitos Brigante]

15. I'll respectfully disagree. These chodes will all fall in line. They're cowards by nature. Plus they

hate "the libs" more than they hold any principles.

[LeftInTX]

17. Yep

[fightforfreedom]

18. Fall in line behind who?

Desantis and his super hero white boots or Trump in his orange face.

[Joinfortmill]

28. ROFL

[Beachnutt]

33. Asa is talking of a run also

[Carlitos Brigante]

40. Ah, I see what you're saying. In my opinion this could go a few ways. If DeSantis is capable

of thinking long term. He'd sit this one out. He's younger, so he can let Trump flame out. Then go "I told you so.". But that'll depend on his massively dumb ego. Then he can campaign for Trump. And prove "his loyalty" to the cult.

On the other hand. If DeSantis beats Trump decisively. Then Trump could cut a deal like "If you want the rest of my supporters. Swear to me that you'll keep me out of jail.". Then they make up. All is forgiven.....

But who knows. I like your version better. But having observed these pukes for a couple of decades and how they've devolved. The desire to punish us "libtards" is much greater than any temporary grudge/infighting. They just need to be told where to stand when all the lard...... I mean dust... has settled.

[Skittles]

50. Trump will NEVER suck up to DeFascist

Trump would destroy the GOP before doing that, he hates DeFascist with a PASSION

[LeftInTX]

20. It would have been better if we won the House

[Quixote1818]

21. Trump is so fucking crazy he can't help himself. You are correct. He won't hold back. nt

[wnylib]

43. He will try to make his announcement for 2024

into a rallying cry for all his shocked and angry base to create as much chaos as possible to retake the country from evil Dems who want to destroy it. Either Trump himself or his Evangelical spokespersons will claim that it is a divine mission.

How much vitriol and chaos can he create? He looks like a loser now, so maybe not much. But we should probably not underestimate his charlatan skills. I have said in other posts that I think that Trump is a has been. But he has made comebacks before. He might not get enough support again to get back to the White House, but he could still have destructive social and political effects on the country.

[fightforfreedom]

23. Right now there are Republicans in the Senate turning on Trump and

there are other Republicans in the Senate turning on Moscow Mitch. The Party is completely fractured. The House is much worse.

[Kaleva]

25. I may be wrong but I think there's about 1/2 dz. Senators critical of Mitch

[SheltieLover]

26. ...

[Joinfortmill]

27. Pass the wine

[DFW]

30. Have some pity for that columnist from Politico

"Democrats in Disarray" is so last decade................

[Tarc]

34. Are people actually falling for this again?

"The looming GOP Civil War" has been "looming" since the advent of the Tea Partiers, when we were sure that those Republicans we view as "sane" would never ever align with the crazies just to win elections.

Yet they did, again and again.

Some people around here just seem to love living in an eternal State of Fitzmas...

[vercetti2021]

52. Consider this though

We haven't seen them go this batty insane before either. More than 2 factions now. GOP, MAGA's and kinda sane normal Repugs ala Liz Cheney. All of em gonna be gunning for that control

[mgardener]

36. Elise Stefanik has already endorsed him

Thinking she is looking at the VP slot.

[Bobstandard]

37. Olberman had an interesting notion

Trump will run. Desantis will challenge. They will beat each other up until the primaries. Desantis becomes the Republican nominee. Trump, who can never lose, goes third party, splitting theRepublican vote. Biden wins a second term.

We can only hope and watch, fingers gritty and lips smeared with popcorn butter.

Run Donnie! Run Ronnie! But watch out for all those other republicans ready to enter the fray. The knives are out!

[wnylib]

44. Ronnie and Donnie against each other.

Sounds like a Ronald McDonald race.

[erronis]

48. "Would you like some lardo with your budger and Florida OJ, sirs?"

[bagimin]

45. I think Olberman

is on the money. Not sure Desatan has the patience to wait four more years.

[Skittles]

51. he doesn't, and Trump will NEVER endorse him

SO LET THE GAMES BEGIN

[republianmushroom]

38. Yep, with plenty of popcorn

[YoshidaYui]

39. ANYTHING TO GET Mitch McConnell OUT OF A JOB...

HE should retire!!

[Evolve Dammit]

41. I don't care Do U? Fuck 'em all.

[bdamomma]

46. The Repigs

deserve every bit of the crap hitting the fan. tRump took them down with his mental illness.

[AngryOldDem]

49. Yep!

Should be fun watching them all eat their own. Sounds like McCarthy is already having problems with the children.

Trump vs. DeSantis? 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡.
