> [@BobLibDem](#): > > He has never in his life faced any consequence for any action. I’m sure he feels that the coup attempt will be no different and I’m not so sure he’s wrong. This is unprecedented, a thousand times worse than Watergate- but about 30% of the country believes every word he tweeted so he may well never have to answer for anything. I’m not betting that any prosecutor is going to bring charges and even if he did the presence of one MAGAbot on the jury would prevent any conviction. I’m afraid that as long as he lives and breathes he poses an existential threat to the world. - All horribly and dismayingly true.

That's wrong. Of course it’s always possible that Garland **is** doing something but has tight control over DOJ leaks. We can hope so, but it’s important that so many are speaking out to Garland. It’s a problem if Garland is convinced that doing nothing about Trump’s attempt to overturn a valid election is ‘the higher good’—it _isn’t_. ---

Chump recently demanded Biden “resign in disgrace” over Afghanistan. My take is he could not care less about that country, he’s just mad that the coverage has bumped him off the air. He cannot stand not being talked about in the news. I hope the investigators are still relentlessly doing their thing during this recess. It would be nice if Chump’s next explosion into the news cycle was a flurry of indictments. ---

The same Republicans who would have aneurisms and demand the impeachment of Joe Biden for saying OBL wasn’t that bad, will assuredly shrug this off. ---

> [@Ann\_Hedonia](#): > > It seems like the twice impeached one term loser has slipped his leash or something. So far this week……. And it’s only Tuesday. I think the pathetic delusional loser actually believes he’s going to be restored to office. This last week or so is the first time that Biden’s approval numbers have slipped substantially (though some indications are that people are blaming him for the Delta variant, rather than blaming him about Afghanistan). At any rate, it has to be encouraging for Donald. And at the same time the Congressional January 6 investigation is getting a lot of news attention. It can’t be lost on Donald that his legal situation is about to become more precarious. So--------hit the airwaves! Tell everyone that they’d be better off with the guy who Conquered Covid\* and Would Have Aced the Afghanistan Withdrawal\*\*!!! - \*no. \*\* also, no. ---

I’m not being snarky and I’m not trying to express hyperbole, but in those articles you quoted… I think he is honestly suffering from dementia. I know people have suggested it before but that stuff was the kind of thing you get put in a home for. I am sure people will tell me, “Oh no, the right is so dumb they’ll nominate him and vote for him in droves…” I don’t think so. He’ll have his cult for sure, but I don’t think even the right will stand behind him. I am saying there is a 0% chance he gets within sniffing distance of a nomination in 2024 even if he manages to stay out of prison or the hospital (mental or otherwise). It’s too far now. ---
