I'm trying to imagine another year in America of Trump sinking deeper into madness [View all]

I don't want to speculate too much about what might happen because there are rules here about kooky, extremist content.

BUT...look at where we are at TODAY and imagine 365 days down the road, with Trump getting a little more insane with each passing day.

We have two options that I see...Republicans grow a spine (not likely), or Democrats sweep the Midterms.

I'm not seeing a 3rd option other than the clock tolling for Grampy's dirt nap. And I still stand by my "Fred lived to 94" comments. I think expecting Trump to go belly-up before the end of 2028 is simply wishful thinking.
