President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

I don't think the Senate will get the 17 GOP votes it needs. I do think it might be close. Three weeks ago they were quaking in their boots about angering Trumpies. But that was when he was the presumptive nominee in 2024. Look at all the people, organizations, etc., who have stood against Trump and in a way, done the dirty work for the GOP: Deutsche Bank, the city of New York, the PGA of America, to say nothing of his 29 percent approval rate. After Wednesday, add anyone filing lawsuits and the DAs in New York and Atlanta who may come after him. He's not going to have enough money to run anyway and the brand will be so toxic by the mid-terms that more and more GOP Senators, congressmen and governors will be less afraid to wash the Trump stink off their bodies.
Or so I hope.

That one's got to sting a little.

 

Today, the 17th of January, is Q day. As in Q is the 17th letter of the alphabet. It's the day when they 'really, promise, stomp their feet and raise their guns' the next Civil War will begin. I have relatives who believe this with whole heart, as much as they believe water is wet.

"That’s what QAnon followers really want, after all. That’s where their “storm” motto comes from. Most Americans were puzzled when, in a meeting with military leaders months ago, Trump said, “You know what this represents? Maybe it’s the calm before the storm.” But these theorists thought they knew exactly what he was talking about. Trump was pointing at the officers’ uniforms."
