A lot of things happened. Here are some of the things. This is TPM’s Morning Memo.
Last Tuesday was a good start, but to well and truly vanquish Trumpism is going to require defeating Trump himself at the polls one more time. History needs a verdict of twice-defeated more that it does twice-impeached.
I’m trying to understand something. TFG gives a replay of a speech he could have made 6 years ago; he has a captive audience that wants to leave but is thwarted by security. Feedumb??
Trump will play this card for all it is worth as it is the only one he feels he is holding. He will try to use it as a shield like everyone already knows and use his wealth, politics, and a conservative court to stretch his legal activities out and outlast everyone. I think he knows he cannot succeed, but he will claim sufficient support that he might very well then, after making an agreement for a pardon from the Republican with the best chance of winning against the Democrats, step down and throw his support to that other candidate. The Republicans are all devils and would probably take the deal to gain power and control. They would simply say we need to heal as a Nation, etc.
Let’s not let this happen. Push the court deadlines and show what a criminal Trump is. Also, use all of the exposed info to show everyone that the Republican Party is to blame as they could have, through their votes in the House and Senate, blocked Trump when he was President, and supported legislation that helps this country move ALL of its citizens forward afterwards. The Republican Party, minus a handful of individuals who actually place the Nation’s goals ahead of their purse, is responsible for Trump. Many of the citizens who voted for him can’t help it - they just can’t logically look at facts (yes, there really are facts in this world) and make appropriate decisions. They simply are fed lies that touch concerns of theirs and use that to avoid taking personal responsibility.
I hope we do not slow down any investigation because of this statement by Trump. He is a dangerous fraud and he and his enablers need to be held accountable.
The game…is afoot. Let’s all stay motivated until we win.
Roger Stone is such a nice young man. I’m so glad he’s helping Mr. Trump win another two terms as President. I hope Mr. Stone joins him in the White House this time.
Reminds me of a joke Bill Maher told shortly after 911: A car with 8 American flags pulls up to a car with two American flags flying and tells the driver: “Go back to Afghanistan!”
