how far out of function he is. And...It seems as though someone else is going to run the show, or may already be doing so.

IMO one of his insiders has taken on the role Dick Cheney and Karl Rove performed for W. It is that insidious. It is intended to allow DJT to be the face and the voice of hate and terror, while insuring that once he's elected the Theocracy will roll out on schedule, and with a vengeance. Whoever is chosen for the VP may be the intended office holder. Or it may be someone who is an "adviser" the way Rove was.

This is part of the whole 2025 scenario. The one in which Leonard Leo and all the other connected RW oligarchs who hide behind Trump's chaos and vitriol will indeed become the power behind the throne of the "King of America". They'll be making "Biblically" based policy, ripping up the Constitution, completely erasing the separation of powers, and enforcing the new "Christian" Autocracy declaring Nationalist Monotheism, and Jihad against all the domestic and foreign non-believers ( You, Me, and virtually anyone else they hate).

Make no mistake that they are somehow still Republicans under the skin. They are the worst sort of absolutist true believers who have assembled a cult of DJT to plow over and eliminate all democratic structures and federal guardrails. They are at least as dangerous as the NAZI cult of Hitler was in 1930's Germany.

And the MSM hasn't got a f*****g clue. They can only present this in the context that it is one more "debate" between naturally occurring political forces. The were the same way when the evidence was crystal clear that Nixon and his enablers were crooks of the worst order. They could not present the idea to the public that people with extraordinary money and power had shaped, driven and indeed stolen the election.

It doesnt bother his hsndlers. They know how to manipulate him. Could be Karadeniz Jun 2024 #1
