It's going to come down to a brain scan. One which has already been taken. And then they'll say, well, America didn't know that his brain was atrophying and all of his decisions were made based on a medical issue. So this small blip in history is not a reflection of the Republican party.
Of course, the logical thing then is to say, who knew about that brain scan and why wasn't it reported?

I kind of think not. When the pervasiveness of this scandal fully comes to light, there will be no republicans. They will have done to themselves what they've tried to do with the word "Democrat." I am talking about a long period of time, meaning the estimated 10 years of investigations that it will take to fully get to the bottom of what they've done, from lying and rigging the Supreme Court to full participation and operation of a worldwide pedophile operation.

(5,545 posts)the Epstein Ballroom should be turned into a museum with exhibits detailing every crime of Trump, his regime, and maga. The US population has an almost infinite power to forget, only matched by our infinite power of apathy. And most of our media is controlled by a handful of reich-wing oiligarchs, so it isn't likely that they will help remind us.
If the reich-wing in the US is removed from power it is absolutely certain that they will have think tanks powered by unfathomable wealth studying every detail of their defeat, and ways to retake power. I think that, in a democracy, the only way to fight them off next time is with an educated and engaged electorate.

We have a good start with Zohran.
Your ballroom idea is something to consider, for sure.
