"Trump, Trump, Trump
ROFLMAO Right now, for Republicans, that's probably just about the
worst sound in the world.
I love the notion that people are afraid of the cult's leader.
Well, yeah, He's the leader of a violent cult and he's willing to resort
to violence when he doesn't get his way.
For Democrats? That is probably the best sound you can imagine
since the Supreme cultists overturned Roe v Wade.
"GOP's midterm fear: Referendum on Trump"
"Top Republicans' biggest private fear — that November's midterms will
turn on public opinion about former President Trump, not inflation and
crime — is unfolding across the political landscape.
Why it matters: Trump is dominating the news, picking Trump-like
candidates in primaries — and shaping the views and rhetoric of elected officials, and those hoping to become one.
That's why Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell is telling people his
party is blowing a golden opportunity to win the Senate.
It's also why Republicans no longer feel so confident of a landslide in
the House.
What we're hearing: The Trump document case is likely to remain in the
news for months.
I'm told there are lots more investigative threads to pull before an
indictment — including interviewing Trump lawyers about what they said
about the classified documents he kept.
The bottom line: GOP midterm candidates — who want to talk solely about
the prices of gas and groceries — now must contend with background music
that once again is Trump, Trump, Trump."

Shit! Damn! Who would have thunk it? It's possible I could learn
to love that sound. LOL
Talk about pure political moves: It's entirely possible that
Biden could pardon #45, just so he had an easy opponent in 2024.
Here's another one to chew on: Whatever happens, is anyone crazy
enough to think #45 will just sit quietly on the sidelines in 2024, as
long as he's alive? Hell, if necessary they would hook him up to a
computer live Steven Hawking. If necessary he could probably run from a
prison cell. The most likely thing is that he will promote a proxy,
instead of running himself. I expect it will be a loyal cultist he's
related to. If he's at the top of the ticket, that person will be next
in line?
