And here I thought impeachment was the initial breach in the dam. All this guy's political career, people have been assuring me "This is it, he's toast."
He could run from prison, so there's no deus ex machina here.
When November comes around Americans are either going to be smart enough to reelect Biden or stupid enough to let a convicted felon, serial rapist, election denying, wannabe dictator slob take over the most powerful nation on Earth.
I know what I'm doing. Let's see if everyone else can pass the basic intelligence test known as "election 2024".
Take a 5 min peruse of r/republican... I fear for all
His cult still held sway during the impeachment, and they'd tied all their hopes to him.
They don't still hold sway now?
In a sane world, between a boring white guy with mild accusations of not doing enough to stop a war, and a snake oil salesman promising to rip down transgender protections and murder his opponents, there should be absolutely no chance of the latter winning a single state. Half of America is still wrapped up in his damn cult.
No, they're flailing wildly. They sowed the wind and reaped the whirlwind. The Dems handed them everything they ever wanted for the border, and they voted against it. Mitch was their most brilliant strategist. He's on the way out. He's prepping Johnson to replace him, but anything could happen in a power vacuum. Russian money is faltering. An untouchable billionaire just got his ass handed to him. The GOP is internally divided, and anything BUT in control.
