Trump is only the clown in this circus. The oligarchs are preparing to throw him under the bus. An article in the NYT reported that Vance warned Trump about going into the Iran war. Then he got lots of press for his trip to Hungary. They're setting him up as the sane one. In November or December they will throw him under the bus and there will be celebration and dancing in the streets. And they will be more in control than ever. Until we get rid of the Reagan rules for the rich, break up all the companies and tax the rich nothing will change. All of the never trumpers will go back to voting Republican and our certain slide into fascist theactacy will continue.

Trump didn't win because of Oligarchs. He won becsuse the country is full of bigots that voted for him.

(23,391 posts)Vance didnt exactly get glowing press coverage for his two massive failures this weekend.
That is far from certain.
The Second Reconstruction begins when enough courageous Dems are elected to kill the filibuster and expand the court.

Song by Frank Zappa, The Mothers
There will come a time when everybody
Who is lonely will be free
To sing and dance and love
There will come a time when every evil
That we know will be an evil
That we can rise above
Who cares if hair is long or short
Or sprayed or partly grayed
We know that hair ain't where it's at
There will come a time
When you won't even
Be ashamed if you are fat!
Wah, wah, wah, wah
Wah, wah, wah, wah
There will come a time when everybody
Who is lonely will be free
To sing and dance and love (Dance and love)
There will come a time when every evil
That we know will be an evil
That we can rise above (Rise above)
Who cares if you're so poor you can't afford
To buy a pair of Mod A Go-Go stretch-elastic pants
There will come a time when you can even
Take your clothes off when you dance

(219 posts)Trump is the symptom not the disease. A blue wave not focused on the root problem, the control of the rich, will solve nothing. If there are enough elected to start impeachment I would like to see it done. Not Trump, he'll be gone. The Court? Judges, they can be impeached too. But it has been 44 years and nothing has been done. "Our" AG had the Epstein files for 4 years. I'll wait until I see results.
I've been here since the day after he was first elected, just don't post very often.

(6,915 posts)simply needs to be burst open and the problem is solved (analogies are creative, but rarely accurate enough when context requires it).

(12,549 posts)Watch the Hungarians. Winning and throwing the top layer of Orban's cronies to the curb is only the start. The Hungarians had 16 years of Orban and his sycophants embed party loyalists and then tear down the framework of a democratic society. It's going to take time, patience to rebuild and refashion the country to withstand another onslaught and bring relief to the country as a whole.
The United States is many times larger and more complicated. Even with a massive win in November and a howling success in 2028, the task to clean the barn and reestablish a fair and productive system to meet the needs of American citizens (not to mention trust in basic governmental functions), will take an enormous amount of dedication and effort.
We can do this but we definitely need a plan forward because simply bringing back what we had before won't be enough. For anyone.
Hungary may give us some ideas on what works and what doesn't. I hope the Democratic Party is working on a template for repair and reform because this will be our chance to form that more perfect union.
That said, I will scream my bloody lungs out once Trump and Flying Monkey Brigade are tossed into the dustbin of history.

(39,182 posts)The rats he invited into the granary will still be there when he goes down.
Thing is, they are not him. They are not coated in the magical grease that allows him to slip past consequences. They are dull and unlikable and we can defeat them.
I will cheer. I will dance. I will sing when he goes down.

The rest can keep trying, but they will not be able to get away with the level of shenanigans that Dump has. Every bit of defeat helps, and thats a big one.

Plus, JD has zero support except for his buddy Peter Thiel.

That being said, I wont say that the Good Guys should kick back and take it easy if Donald John leaves the stage. Theres a lot of work ahead to restore the Republic and set things to rights

(219 posts)When Trump goes down the fight is just starting. I don't post often because I'm very worried we aren't focused on the right stuff. I'm not very positive about the future. I would like to be a cheerleader but I don't think there's much to cheer about.

(455 posts)And who knows what else. He's a threat to humanity every minute he's alive. I will certainly cheer his demise.
And wish him the most enlightening life review in his afterlife. He'll feel everything he ever did to anyone, from their perspective. That's what I believe. His will probably take a while. So many lessons he will learn.
