Republicans view Trump as I viewed Tom Carper

Prior to Sarah McBride positioning herself a legitimate statewide candidate with the ability to knock off Tom Carper - I held the position that only the Grim Reaper could remove Carper. It seems many Republicans feel the same way about Trump.  They are stuck with him until he croaks: 
In his recent book Thank You for Your Servitude, my colleague Mark Leibovich quoted a former Republican representative who bluntly summarized his party’s plan for dealing with Trump: “We’re just waiting for him to die.” As it turns out, this is not an uncommon sentiment. In my conversations with Republicans, I heard repeatedly that the least disruptive path to getting rid of Trump, grim as it sounds, might be to wait for his expiration.
 

It’s Just Logic

So Republicans throughout America's Stupid Belt are trying to legislate against family drag shows, supposedly because some of the performers are pedophiles who are grooming children for...uh, homosexuality, I think...…

Two Things I Love About DeSantis’ Response to Trump

If you are not as obsessed with Trump v. DeSantis as I am - here is a quick recap:
The Loser Ex-President made campaign stops where he told reporters that DeSantis would be “disloyal” if he ran for the Republican nomination and he knocked DeSantis’ record on Covid-19. Desantis basically fired back with - Well I won my re-election, and you didn't, so the people have spoken. And also, suck it.
Here's what I love.  It ignores the BIG LIE and might be the first time I've heard a MAGAt say "Trump lost. Get over it."  That's good for America if civilian Republicans are now allowed to follow suit and acknowledge the simple truth - Trump is a loser who lost. The second thing I love is how the smug little fucker (DeSantis) smugly just shrugged off trump as a loser and that's pressing Trump's biggest button.  Trump hates being called a loser and to be called one by the a smug little twerp like DeSantis NO DOUBT landed in Mara Lago like a kick to the balls. It all adds up to Trump and DeSantis going full on berserker during this campaign, and that is great news for America.
