90% of the Maga scum will believe his lies or they won’t care if it’s proven that he raped these people.

The entire system of justice is now under the control of the piece of shit so he will never go to jail, the cowardice Republicans will never impeach him etc.

Unless the pressure gets to him and kills him with a heart attack, because remember he has no conscience he has no capacity to feel guilt, he is the ultimate narcissist and sadly is also very dumb.

... it's the thing that hands power to Vance, and Thiel, and thus Yarvin, Christian Dominionists, and the whole techno-surveillance panopticon.

The longer Trump is the visible head of this monster, the more likely it seems that a resistance (at every level, with every tool available) can become established enough to survive a cancelled election.

But Vance et al could pass as "legitimate" enough to make change well-nigh impossible. They are self-disciplined, young, smart, and entrenched.

Currently we have the sympathies of the decent countries of the world with us -- that could fade with a less outrageous head of state settling in for the long haul.

still had trials to go on his stealing of state and military secrets.
That to me looked to be the end, yet now he is the fucking president.

Not entirely human but collection of human flaws. He will eventually be replaced.

Much as I would love to see that happen, no matter what comes out about his involvement with Epstein, Trump will never resign. The Republican party may go down in flames in 2026 for their support of a known pedophile, but Trump will cling to power to the bitter end.
