1. A republican essentially brought him down. And a prominent one. Liz Cheney. He thought he had all republicans in his back pocket.
2. A former White House aide and assistant to former Chief of Staff Mark Meadows finished the job that Liz Cheney started. Someone in his offices! Cassidy Hutchinson.
3. Two women had the balls that the men lacked.

(1,865 posts)I don't think it mattered. She was so pissed off she did not care. In fact, any thing they tried just entrenched her further. I am not saying her father had no inflence. Hell, he may have been her sounding board. What I am saying is once her course was set their threats were useless against her. At her stage in life she was far less vulnerable than a young lady in her early 20s just beginning her career.

And that what her father had said to her was: "Daughter, protect the republic."
Did you ever for an instant think you would agree with Dick Cheney? I certainly didn't. But it is what it is.

(15,368 posts)you can be president.
I figure I got 45 or so more years before I die. My doctor said I am the healthiest president to ever take office. People will pressure Congress to get rid of the 2 term Democrat law and I will be president until I can't do it anymore. Then you can take over.

Justice matters.
(9,787 posts)able to convince a Jury of 12 she's guilty without any reasonable doubt.
That's how reality 'works' in the Judicial Branch and that's why hair furhair's trashing the Constitution (fully) is nothing else than an alt-pipe-dream.

(17,622 posts)Throughout his presidency I said it would be women that would take him down. I like that he's petrified of strong women. That's his weakness actually; that and his outsized ego.

Relying on real and imagined past glory to impress them just doesn't work.

(13,018 posts)Have gotten way beyond using the anatomy Balls as a sign of strength and courage at this point in history. Ovaries best describes those two attributes by far. As small as they may be, McCarthy and Lindsey have shriveled up testicles, (about as useless as those medal ones MAGA cowards attach to their big truck trailer hitches), and Cheney and Pelosi represent the female sign of strength and courage. There are sooooo many more examples to this fact.

(17,802 posts)Hasn't happened yet. No indictments yet. He hasn't been taken down by them.
What is bothering him is that he is no longer the center of attention. He doesn't have aides fawning over him at someone else's expense. He can't summon the party elites like he used to.
He is an angry old coot rattling around Mal where even his members laugh at him.
Nobody is afraid of him. Woman recoil at the sight of him.
That is what bothers him.

(13,247 posts)Outdated myths that hold us back from realizing the rewards of human all potential. However, Trump is deeply sexist and the fact that strong women, including Nancy Pelosi and the other women involved with the J6 committee, have been instrumental in holding him accountable for his crimes must burn deeply.

My husband was already pretty liberated but it was set in stone after he witnessed me birthing our first baby. Im guessing he immediately understood who the stronger one of us was. But hes always been a smart guy.

Balls definitely can't take a pounding. Just a errant tap will buckle a man. How did these delicate, dangling little sacks come to symbolize strength and courage?
And big balls certainly don't represent big strength nor courage. Large swollen balls are a medical condition largely associated with aging, not virility.

(1,884 posts)Is a way to describe courage when faced with a difficult situation, that applies to both women and men. A better way that isn't perjorative and we can all get behind.
