I think that’s the problem to solve -no nat’l candidate can reach them if we can’t.
what a total shit show.
4 years.
It's telling that Trump seems ready to take such extraordinary action to bypass the GOP Senate to blow up the rule of law in America.
Everything tRUMP Touches Dies.

Russian kompromat on himself that’s really
Bad
I'm a big supporter of you and Kamala. Donated to her, etc.
I wanted to apologize for a response on X I sent you when you talked about RFK Jr becoming HHS secretary. I said “Put your masks back on” because we wouldn't be able to get vaccines, and not for any other reason. Sorry.
How many graveyards worth of skeletons in that closet.
I wonder every day where the actual patriots and lovers of America are? Watching reality TV? Just struggling to survive?
Three figures are in rapid decline - Putin, Xi... and Trump.
In Trump's case, it appears to be mental and physical, for Putin and Xi, their regimes.
But we're ignoring immense follow-on effects.
Thread.
He may stabilize over 2 1/2 months of rest, but beginning Jan 20, that's over.
How do you manage an emerging autocracy when you can't remember your opponent?
None of them good.
One, put people in to do his general will, or whatever they think he or their overseas patrons want, depending on their allegiance.

First, he's already putting in absolutely radioactive figures who his opponents will drag intensively for the next 2 months.
And being an "acting Secretary" or acting whatever weakens the position of your minions.
The intelligence community, Department of Defense, Department of Justice...
The list goes on.
I posted this pic the other day, and someone pointed out that my bookshelf perfectly encapsulates the last 10 years.
Rides again.
