the ex-presidentā€™s planning

That would be something new and different, though ā€œputting together a more formal schedule for candidates who want to come get his endorsementā€ has the familiar ring of The Price is Right.

What a mistake the GOP made hitching their wagon to this miscreant. Heā€™ll be screwing them over till he either dies, gets thrown in jail (maybe not even then), or goes completely senile.

Enjoy the fruits of your malfeasance, Republicans. Youā€™ll be living in fear for a long time.

[ā€œThe development comes after Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) suggested to Fox News earlier this week that the former president remained the ā€œmost dominant figure in the Republican Party,ā€ and the GOPā€™s best chance at winning back a majority in 2022.ā€]

So thatā€™s it. Astro-turfing personified. And I just knew that Graham would be in the middle of it.

It will be interesting to see how the Loser monetizes this. There will be the Mike Lee model where you hire space in a venue of his and he drops in. Fly him in and pay him to give a speech. Will they just give stacks of cash? That would be the simplest. Oh, the lovely possibilities!

OT, but a 55 year old ā€œpatrolmanā€? Quite the meteoric rise through the ranks. Until January 6th. Maybe he can be one of the MAGA candidates.

On Saturday, Trump is also expected to make an appearance at a fundraising dinner for Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) with anticipated appearances from Trump loyalists Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) and Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) according to an event invitation.

Iā€™ll bet that a requirement for Trumpā€™s support will be agreeing with him that the election was stolen. It might not go further than just agreeing with him in private, but Iā€™ll bet itā€™s a requirement for an invitation to kiss the ring.

Okay all you Trumpists, start thinking up weasel words to hint the election was stolen when you talk in public without actually using the word. Itā€™s thread the needle time, and Trump will be watching!

Now that the MFWWNBN no longer has a country to divide, he is welcome to divide the everloving fuck out of the GOP.

This is the one action of his of which I approve.

[" ā€˜We donā€™t have a snowballā€™s chance in hell of taking back the majority without Donald Trump,ā€™ Graham said."]

And there you have itā€¦the phony every-man-isms, cementing the fake personality. I donā€™t see too many peopleā€“even on the GOP sideā€“making that kind of metaphor.

Iā€™ll leave it at that. Too much derp, so little time

Heā€™s already sitting on $31 million in his Save America PAC, which can be used to support other candidates. That will be the main grifting opportunity, with all sorts of loopholes. Heā€™ll probably put his 757 into a charter company, and hire that to haul his fat ass around the country giving rally speeches.

Iā€™ve never seen the Republican Party in such disarray. But the more time they spend on gunning for each other, the less time they have on lying about Democrats, and thatā€™s a good thing.

Your move, Mitch.
