  1. I would like to believe that, and it's certainly possible - he's not handling this well at all since normally he brushes shit off and the media gives him a pass, but his ignoring the media and then calling one of the journalists "piggy" and also saying that ABC's license should be revoked has their attention, and he's hearing Epstein questions everywhere. And as I said here or elsewhere, Texas losing out on the 5 seats while California adds 5, plus Massie, MTG, Mace, and Boebert has him in a bind next year. And it sure as hell sounds like he and Johnson had something worked out, rather than things rushing through the Senate - maybe a slow roll back and forth between the Senate and House hashing things out, hoping the people and the media get bored or he gins up a distraction. It's a sign he doesn't have solid control of Congress anymore and the chambers seem to be butting heads. I know there are people who are MAGA who are pissed at him over this stuff, I've got a few family members that have made it clear (one a Qanon/Pizzagater who bailed prior to 2024, the other two victims of some form of abuse), but I doubt he really thinks about his followers (or former followers) very much. I think he believes the media is not going to relent and that somebody will leak something, and he could very well spend the next year or two trying to manage this fallout. But I still feel like it's less that he will personally face some kind of reckoning, legal or PR/political, and more like the Rs will get trounced next year, he'll lose one chamber of Congress for sure, maybe two, and he could face the fallout from that (impeachment or whatever). And he's got to be paranoid as hell about the DOJ.
  2. He obviously realized that Carol was like him since she cussed him out. They let all animals go. There was a joke about there being problems at the zoo or something with the lions and tigers.
  3. But Carol is still very hardcore. I would not want to go up against her.
  4. Does something legally happen to these agents to make the others chill the fuck out?
  5. What about 20 men? And what's your body count?
  6. I could listen to/watch a series just of Iris de Rode discussing whatever she wants to discuss. Also, glad John Paul Jones getting a huge shoutout, but they didn't discuss how he got his brass balls all the way across the Atlantic. Glad to see they are doing a Henry David Thoreau series next year. Edit: Glad they brought the global/world war aspect into it, once France and Spain joined in.
  7. People say that about me.
  8. We really are going to invade Venezuela.
  9. When you claim four 4th quarter comebacks, it means something a little different.
  10. Watching Ken Burns American Revolution first, so 9pm for me. Driving me crazy but I’m committed to this.
  11. He was one of our top 10-15 QBs on paper.
  12. 50,000 is a very optimistic number, not to mention they would be based off of ships as the article mentions. People don’t realize how tough that would be to do - we would need a lot more ships in that area.
  13. By the way, I do not think he’s dumb enough to attack people on Mexican soil, but it’s good to force him to deny it.
  14. Shouldn’t have bought her a Christmas gift.
  15. He is definitely starting to spiral in. The Epstein stuff is getting worse. Economy is not doing what he wanted. The National Guard bullshit is not getting him the wins he wanted, nor is the Venezuela shit. The piggy comment really showed he’s losing his grasp. He’s getting embarrassed by Putin and the Chinese on the international stage. And Texas fucked up redistricting while California may have nailed it. In the wake of of bad elections for him. And then he just saw the Senate Rs tell the House Rs to fuck off by passing the Epstein stuff with no changes, followed by the House Rs telling the Senate Rs to fuck off by stripping out the damages stuff. Johnson was probably shook because Trump yelled at him. Trump knows he’s lost control of Republicans in Congress, at least in the Senate. That fundraising email spoke volumes - he knows he’s in for more impeachments. Dude might be spending most of his upcoming days dealing with Epstein shit.
  16. Quiet, piggy.
  17. How about Sharia law for the red states?
  18. I don’t have to worry bout this bullshit with Sela Ward and Susanna Hoffs or Shania Twain. I just have to worry about @Brisketexanhiding in the bushes and peeking through the window.
  19. It’s illustrative of what I’ve mentioned before - Cruz feels like it’s his turn, that he’s entitled to it and probably sees Vance as taking a short cut.
  20. Wont be a good look during the appeal process. I expect him to attack Abbott and the legislature for fucking up so badly. He has to be seething over those 5 seats, especially if California pulls it off.
  21. And the hardcore conspiracy theorists lean pretty hard right, into libertarian territory. It was easy for Trump to get them to the polls with all of the conspiracy bullshit, but the problem for him is that they are also the people who are going to freak out the most at redacted files.
