Did John Carter die and no one told me? Announce his retirement? I've heard Bill Gravel has been calling dibs on that seat when Carter retires for a while now, yet we have all the MAGA bottom feeders falling all over themselves to announce they're running. Maybe because it's one of the reddest seats in Texas after the 2020 redistricting?

As part of pardon agreement with Trump, perhaps he agreed to run? As D, he mucks the race and siphons support. If he wins, switches to R. Little downside if you’re a corrupt fuck.

That's pretty much the motto of the United States Government now:

But look at the brainwashing there.  They KNOW that Perry sucks -- 17 points underwater.  But when it comes time to vote....a mere 7-8% delta, because they can't vote for no dumbocrat who will transgender errbody!

43% of respondents don't like him because he is too much of a Nazi. 10% don't like him because he's not Nazi enough.

Also fair.  I know that I note that when I see the generic Dem disapproval numbers.  My entire family of four, which votes exclusively blue, nods along and says "you're goddamn right, we're sick of them being bumbling pussies."   It ain't because we disapprove of them being dems, we disapprove of them sucking at it.

Fuck it. He’s tarnished now. Primary his ass. Who was it who almost beat him back in 2020? Where’s she at? 

If he loses he’ll run as an indie to try to throw the seat to the GOP but at least he won’t win.

Peeps, it took me a while to decide where to post this, because it could’ve gone in a number of these threads. But the more I thought about it, I think this is the right thread. Because what occurs to me when you go to  9:09 of the video and see Nick Fuentes’s going off on Trump, is that there is a large section of the political demographic who never sees any negative news about Trump (duh!) who are starting to see information that they’ve never seen before.    

As despicable as that asshole Nick Fuentes is, I cannot argue with anything he’s saying about Trump and the Trump administration.    He makes sloth toes Marge look like a Trump fan.

The biggest problem we have in our American political institution is that the news sources that voters receive, news sources that are essentially totally partisan state-TV type shit, have prevented lots of American voters from having any idea what is really happening in their world before they go to the voters’s booth.  It is one of the most frustrating things to me, because you can never have a change in voter behavior as long as they remain totally ignorant of what the hell is going on and listen to Fox News and the like. 

This looks to me like a sea change in the information getting to the far right that is negative towards Trump.  When a few percentage points determines all elections on a national scale, or often larger population races like a United States Senate, 3 or 4% is often the deciding factor.    

The one thing I hear from Trump cult members is that Trump does not lie. As staggering and inexplicable as that is, those idiots believe that.   If people like Fuentes somehow gets them to look at other actual facts, that could go a long way and ending Trump and the GOP in the next election cycle.

I had to pour a couple fingers of Scotch to get my head around Nick Fuentes’s calling Trump a racist.  But go to 9:09 and enjoy.

It's not only that, combine it with things like Trump clearly losing control of Congress over the Epstein Files and how those 4 managed to swing things to where he had to pretend to want to go along with releasing the files...and then you have some folks on the right in Congress retiring or pondering it, and while it's probably because Trump is going to primary some of them, there is the thought that they are trying to preserve their political future - they know far more about the Epstein Files than the public does.

You have Laura Loomer blasting Trump, Fuentes blasting him, Tucker Carlson...doing Tucker Carlson things that are batshit.

There's a lot going on right now with the arguably fringe types (Tucker, Fuentes, Loomer, MTG, Boebert, etc.) that has to be setting off alarm bells for the RNG. These are people that were ride-or-die with Trump just a year ago, and he could have been killing kids on 5th Avenue, and they'd be explaining why it was a good thing, and now they look like they are trying to peel off chunks of MAGA and form something outside of Trump's control.

Shit, Tucker Carlson was basically talking about taking over the GOP.

It's becoming increasingly clear that even if Trump pulled off a third term, legally, he'll be wholly incapable of carrying out the office or even campaigning, if he's even alive.

And it's also becoming clear that there is no succession plan.

Although it's likely to be kind of hilarious, it is probably also a very dangerous time.

There is no non-dangerous path forward.

not surprisingly, Trump was expecting a quid pro quo for his pardon. Something totally normal to admit.

https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/trump-calls-democratic-rep-cuellar-disloyal-for-not-switching-parties-after-pardon

 

Trump blasted Cuellar for “Such a lack of LOYALTY,” suggesting the Republican president might have expected the clemency to bolster the GOP’s narrow House majority heading into the 2026 midterm elections.

“Such a lack of LOYALTY, something that Texas Voters, and Henry’s daughters, will not like. Oh’ well, next time, no more Mr. Nice guy!” Trump said.

It's the nature of a second-term presidency.  Every day that goes by, a second-term president is weaker.  Every day, he has one fewer day to make appointments, to threaten retribution, or to promise rewards.  And that's doubly true when everyone knows Trump is going to be too mentally gone to do anything after his term apart from drool and soil himself.

Every day he loses power.  And for each Republican, there's a tipping point day on which it is safer to piss off the second-term president than it is to stick with him.  That day is a little different for each Republican.  But for MTG and others, that day is already in the past.  There's no one for whom that day is too far in the future.

The last two years of Trump's presidency are going to be a complete shitshow.  There's not going to be anything holding the GQP together.  There's no clear successor; there's no unifying ideology.  It's just going to splinter apart into recrimination and shelter-seeking.

It’s cute that Trump is pretending he and Cuellar don’t have some sort of quid pro quo for the pardon worked out. I don’t know what that agreement is, but you can count on it being nefarious.
