As extremist Trumplicans sabotage the midterm, party suicide looms, and more scandals on tap

Democrats gain as MAGA narratives decay, absent real-world deliverables except pardons/apologies for outlaws

"As democracy-busting shifts to high national security menace, President Biden’s emergency call out is a timely offset to the latest shocking MAGA fascism warring against law and order. Never before has the Criminal-in-chief so clearly showed his darkest side. Not only has Trump exposed how little he’s learned – politically, morally or legally – from inciting the D.C. riots, this guiltless/clueless wonder openly brags he’s funding insurrectionists and promising both pardons (what in 2025!) and apologies for the “disgraceful” inconvenience after causing such havoc. Only in degraded times does the former top national law enforcement officer become the reckless, violence-promoting  pardoner of mobsters who can’t abide majority elections. Coded message: forget electoral downsides, send $$ to Trump, Inc. 


The phrase “mind-boggling” just got mind-boggled. Yep, the bottomless pit of Trump corruption is now covering for relentlessly delusional MAGA hardliners. Having failed as coup conniver, this rogue president augments the inciting of violence to now enshrining anti-democratic criminals as heroic victims – with no let-up in sight. Why should the scandals or outrages stop now? Why not run released D.C.protesters for Congress to impeach any triumphant Trump critic or Never Trumper? What Founders on their worst day conceived of such treachery? 


And yet, like many, I think we’re closer to the end of MAGA infamy than any miracle comeback. Politics is still fickle, and no cult is immune from sudden avalanches. Aside from predictable indictments, the Cultist-in-chief is overplaying a weakened hand, accelerating a decline begun during his presidency, widely judged the greatest anti-democratic blunder in our history. Whether or not human stupidity is limitless, the gall and rottenness of the unmasked demagogue keep up. If Trumpism – now firmly set against what passes for decent American values – is somehow returned to power, then majority rule faces a dead end bum’s rush. What stands out is the obviousness of the threat(s)..."

Trump crashing, his supporters agonizing, the Republican Party imploding

Michael Payne

"How much longer will the mentally challenged Donald J. Trump be allowed to fan the flames of hatred and divisiveness that are tearing this country apart? 

How much longer will it take AG Merrick Garland to indict him for his attempt to overturn the 2020 election, to incite the Jan. 6 mob attack on the US Capitol, and his theft of government classified documents, including nuclear documents?


We watch as this disgraced former president continues to run rampant across this country, to lie, misinform, and thumb his nose at various elements of the U.S. government, primarily, the Department of Justice. And get away with it.

We know that the wheels of justice grind very slowly. But, in the case of Donald Trump, they turn at a snail’s pace. With the numerous investigations of him going on, and the mountain of evidence against him, the question is, when in the world is he finally going to be indicted? Ever or never?

Merrick Garland and his prosecutors need to shift their operations into high gear and act very quickly before this master lawbreaker figures out how he can slither out of their reach once again to continue contaminating this government and society.Trump’s strategy is not the least bit complicated, it’s delay, delay, and more delay and, up until now, this tactic has worked beautifully. It’s as if the US justice system that allows all these many delays was designed just for Trump and his ilk..."
