They sold their souls for a 1 term presidency.

and a supreme court plus all the other hundreds of judges with lifetime appointments

Solid point.

Might be a dumb question, but I’m not on Twitter so I don’t know. How do we know if it’s the real one anymore?

Coulter has been anti-tRump for a long time

tRump's announcement party is going to be great....it will be interesting to see which GOP figures show up to it because you know he's taking names.

The press shouldn't even show up. Fuck him.

I wasn't necessarily doubting this tweet. Just thinking in general. But I guess it is pretty obvious, you can click on the name and see the profile, see how many followers, see previous tweets, etc. I've just never once used twitter, so didn't think about it.

I haven't been following exactly who trump did and didn't support. But I heard more of his supporters lost last week, and more GOP candidates that separated themselves from him won. So I would imagine that is definitely going to influence who supports his next run and see a much smaller number support him.

And the Pence interview airs tonight....just the thought of a former VP stating on live TV that remarks by the POTUS endangered his family should be enough to keep tRump from ever running again.

How is he still relevant at all?

"The president's words were reckless and his actions were reckless," he told Muir this week. "The president's words that day at the rally [before the riot] endangered me and my family and everyone at the Capitol building."

Trump Wanted I.R.S. Investigations of Foes, Top Aide Says John F. Kelly, who was White House chief of staff, said that as president, Donald J. Trump wanted investigations into perceived enemies like James Comey, the former F.B.I. director. Image

by Michael S Schmidt

While in office, President Donald J. Trump repeatedly told John F. Kelly, his second White House chief of staff, that he wanted a number of his perceived political enemies to be investigated by the Internal Revenue Service, Mr. Kelly said.

Mr. Kelly, who was chief of staff from July 2017 through the end of 2018, said in response to questions from The New York Times that Mr. Trump’s demands were part of a broader pattern of him trying to use the Justice Department and his authority as president against people who had been critical of him, including seeking to revoke the security clearances of former top intelligence officials.

Mr. Kelly said that among those Mr. Trump said “we ought to investigate” and “get the I.R.S. on” were the former F.B.I. director James B. Comey and his deputy, Andrew G. McCabe. His account of Mr. Trump’s desires to use the I.R.S. against his foes comes after the revelation by The Times this summer that Mr. Comey and Mr. McCabe had both been selected for a rare and highly intrusive audit by the tax agency in the years after Mr. Kelly left the White House.

Mr. Trump has said he knows nothing about the audits. The I.R.S. has asked its inspector general to investigate, and officials have insisted the two men were selected randomly for the audits.

Solid point.

Need to push back on this. Dems are celebrating non stop on the senate news this morning and what exactly did they gain? The senate will likely be exactly what it was, maybe one seat pickup, but there are net of four very vulnerable dem senate seats in 2024. Dems made zero inroads in new states, and PA is a desperately needed solid blue state considering the states that were supposed to be turning blue ten years ago that trumpism stopped dead in its tracks. The election results are nearly 50/50 because the country is polarized , but the Dems have been losing ground in key states. The gop is still competitive in PA, if they can find better candidates, yet there are so many swing states and supposedly emerging blue states that trumpism stopped the Dems dead in their tracks.

this is exactly what trump has given the gop since his rise, he turned rural and exurban America into a plus forty percent GOP tsunami around the entire country and the Dems are even weakening in suburban NY and CA. Yes the house is likely lost due to gop flipping seats in ny and ca, Dems ignoring that is dangerous. Also, Florida OH and IA has transformed into a solid Republican state since trumps rise.

What does a plus forty rural America give the GOP? Probably a stranglehold on the senate if those two of those four outlier senate seats return to the GOP in 2024. The overwhelming rural support has stalled and even reversed the blue shift in NC, TX, WI and even NV is starting to lean back to GOP taking the governorship and possibly AZ gov goes red again. And with certain NY and CA house districts going red in a supposedly blue year, this puts the competitiveness of the house also towards gop favor looking to the future

I'll not put stock in the opinion of the doomsayer of how badly the D's were getting blown out this cycle.

I think its more of the thought that if this election was lost by a large margin (which was kind of expected), Trump and the Republicans would have probably ended our democracy within the next 2-6 years.

This proves that Trump cant win. He is toxic. And now, Republicans are going to be forced to either reject him (in which case Trump wont go away), or quadruple down on him so he can lose in 2024, energize D turnout, and congress will be buoyed to Dems again.

Democrats have their own issues that need to be dealt with/shored up. Its going to be serious. Especially if the R party swings away from the crazies

Agreed. I saw some tweet that said this could be the best midterm performance of a first term president since FDR. Think it was that Harry Enten guy from CNN. Sure there are still big concerns about 2024 but, jesus....democracy has lived to fight another day! This is a good thing!

Agreed.

Last week went better than expected for D's. Is this country out of the woods? Not by any stretch, but the fact that these mid-terms weren't a blood bath for democrats is a victory in and of itself.

And it is the perfect setup for tRump's exit. He's toxic and this election proves it.

It will give me great pleasure to watch him crumble.

ikiT · November 2022

I'm of the opinion he dont get to announce SHIT, until he testifies for the Select committee.

If he has something so important to announce then he should ANSWER whatever QUESTIONS the 16SC has first, Fucker.

His SUBPENOA is for today.

Considering the history of mid terms, inflation, etc. I don't know how you can possibly put such a negative spin on the election. The only criticism is the loss of seats in NY. Winning a swing state like PA, and holding gains in NV and AZ are great accomplishments. Further, holding onto a traditional red seat like in GA would just be the gravy.

And while holding the House would be (and still could be) nice, having the Senate is huge for judges and all sorts of confirmation seats, as well as the debt ceiling and other budgetary items that don't need 60.

Too late in my book. The courageous thing to do would have been to say this sooner instead of waiting until most have decided to turn on Trump.

Glad he made the statement though.

Donald Trump
