Remember when I said calling them “weaklings” was bound to backfire? Yeah…

      It will be short lived. They’d still vote for him. Nothing unites them more than their hatred, desire to piss off the libs, and inflict pain on those they disagree with.

    I wonder how much of this is just democratic troll farms trying to encourage actual MAGA to abandon Trump.

    This is a cult purge, they’ll be forming the parallel of the SS with their most loyal followers.

    Am I seriously the only one that understands that this doesn’t matter? His entire base of useful idiots could turn on him tomorrow. It won’t make a difference. They did for him what he needed them to do.

    He’s is installed, embedded, entrenched and like all plagues, seemingly untouchable.

        His base of idiots mattered when they stormed the Capitol.

        To him? No, they didn’t.

        Then again when one missed by a couple inches

        I all but guarantee that entire thing was setup. Only I’d wager that the patsy shooter was promised a different outcome- which also illustrates the fact that he too- didn’t matter.

        I’d bet the farm that trumpster-fire has zero fucks to give about what anyone thinks about him or what he does. The only thing we have that says otherwise, is the media, and they’re about as trustworthy as he is considering their profit margin is directly reliant on Trump-related sensationalism.

        He’s embedded. Plain as. There’s nothing his base can say or do that would make him lose a minute of sleep.

    Hmmm, saying one thing and doing another. Does that sound like republicans to you?

    Still, House Republicans voted twice this week to block Democratic attempts to force the public release of all Epstein files within 30 days, with only one Republican, Ralph Norman of South Carolina, voting in favor.

    The controversy deepened on Wednesday evening after news that the federal prosecutor Maurene Comey, daughter of former FBI director James Comey, who worked on the criminal cases of both Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, had been fired. The justice department provided no specific reason for her dismissal.

    This reminds me of when the Beatles pissed people off and people smashed their Beatles records and then the Beatles weren’t popular anymore…

    Then again they didn’t double down on being more popular than Jesus so I guess we shall see.
