How much does Ziggy pay you to say the dumbest sht imaginable? There's no other explanation.
Trump's time is over, get used to it. That leaves the Reps with .... who? I asked the same question about the Dems. No one is coming forward. They're all too scared. This could be an election where nobody wants anybody to win.

It’s a good series if you’re into the anthropological study of how so many seemingly normal people can fall for an obvious charlatan, but all that aside, you have to see her hair. It’s the biggest thing you’ve likely ever seen growing out of a living person’s head.
It’s difficult not to notice how many people in positions of dubious authority wear big, crazy hair. I’ve not made a scientific study of this but it seems to me that TV evangelists are traditionally the most famous for this and, since that group grew from the rural American faithful, the early ones were likely imitating a group that rural Americans already adored, country-western singers. But I think there is something deeper at work here than simple celebrity impersonation. I’ll get to that in a minute.
Ha - funny stuff.
It's a near daily wonder how soooooo many Americans were duped by Trump for so long. Duped to the point of committing violence and risking lengthy jail time by breaking into the capital. The image of protestors trying to impale cops with an American flag is so heavy with irony and Message that it almost breaks the screen. These are the very people Trump had the least amount of respect for (if any). How does someone from the sticks think a slick, constantly lying super wealthy big city Real Estate dude is going to be on their side??? It's one of the great mysteries.
Don't forget facial hair, second. Big deal with the warring thugs in the middle east. And also Stalin's 'stache.

Yup. We were duped by 3.5 years of low gas prices, no new wars, acceptable employment numbers, acceptable inflation numbers.
Meanwhile, the asshole you voted for and his cadre of diversity hires he put everywhere have destroyed the economy, the supply chain, and American's hope for the future.
Trump isn't going anywhere. He's going to be your next President.

And you're right... Democrats have NOBODY to run.

Trump wants you and every other 'Tard to think he is running so he can milk every last sent from you. How do you not see him for the Grifter he is?

That's funny. I haven't given Trump a cent.
Let me ask you this... Why do YOU believe he's not going to run?

From observing life arcs. Trump may actually *think* he's going to run, who knows what's in that rat's nest brain of his ($$), but he captured lighting in a bottle in 2016 because of extraordinary circumstances and timing, and those things are never going to align again. 2020 was a sign of how unique 2016 was. He lost to a complete underdog. Watch any sports? Teams have their time, they rise and fall. Always and forever. Some stay up longer than others but they always fall. Jan 6 was Trump's final last gasp at holding on, but it was also the start of his fall. He's older and even crazier now (wait until 2024). He's not on every channel or social platform, not getting as much notice, not like before. His schtick is old, he's old, his old supporters are distancing themselves or turning on him. The magic - whatever it was - is gone, and the novelty has been dulled by repetition. Shows and athletes and politicians come and go - always. Cya bye, go be a footnote.

How the Democrats Forgot the New Deal and Paved the Way for Trumpism
Author Robert Kuttner on how Biden can keep American fascism at bay.

In Robert Kuttner’s new book, “Going Big: FDR’s Legacy, Biden’s New Deal, and the Struggle to Save Democracy,” he explains how we got to our present political inflection point, how high the stakes are, and what comes next.

We got very, very lucky. There was an assassination attempt on Roosevelt’s life in Florida in January or February 1933 before he takes the oath of office, and the assassin gets within 6 or 7 feet of the president-elect and hits the mayor of Chicago by mistake who dies. Roosevelt is not struck.
And had the assassin’s bullet been true, the President of the United States in March 1933 would have been John Nance Garner, Cactus Jack, and we would not have had a New Deal.
We also got lucky in that Roosevelt was gradually getting more and more radicalized. He had been a liberal progressive governor of New York but he starts out campaigning against Hoover from the right for deficit spending. And it’s only during that period between the time of his election and the time of his inauguration that he really appreciates how bad things are, and how radical the remedies need to be. And then you have the first 100 days, of course, and a lot more. And you also have people pushing on Roosevelt from his left.
And, miraculously, it all comes together. We have a huge amount of regulation of finance. We have the invention of the modern housing mortgage system; four different New Deal agencies. We have public capital through the Reconstruction Finance Corporation. We have social security. We have the Wagner Act, and within the space of a decade, complemented by World War II, when the state is even more powerful, we have the government in league with organized workers acting as a counterweight to capitalism.
And it works. It works. The New Deal gets the economy about halfway out of the Great Depression; World War II does the rest. It’s the very rare circumstance where we don’t have a depression after a war.

Okay, but none of that is actual reality. It's what your news sites tell you is reality.
Trump is the only ex-President that anybody has decided was worth keeping track of in favorability polling, and for more than a year now he polls more favorably than Biden* does.
If Trump decides to run, DeSantis isn't going to seriously run against him. And DeSantis is the only other person right now that the GOP would even consider letting a Primary challenge even happen. They're not going to do that for Ted Cruz. Why would the GOP have their own eating each other on stage when they can just sit back and let all of the Democrats with lower approval ratings than Trump eat each other in the months leading up to the election?
Democrats only have two options. Let the old senile man who will lose to anybody the GOP puts up there run again, or suffer the embarrassment of having to have a primary while one of their own is still President.
Many states aren't even going to have a primary if Trump runs. He's still technically the incumbent for the party.
This dog and pony show about January 6th amounts to nothing. All polling shows that even Democrats don't care about it with inflation and gas prices.
If Trump decides to run again, he will be re-elected as your President in 2024. Whether he's running against Biden or anybody else makes no difference. The Democrats don't have a single person who could beat him.

Um, yeah. Which things aren't real? Which news sites do I watch and how would you know?

You who are so unwise as to how this big world turns. Trump makes more money for other people - especially media owners and especially online - than just about anyone in living history. Actually, maybe the Kardashians make more for other people. Anyhow, if anyone is tracking Trump for any data point (like popularity) it's to make $. Simple. There is no other reason. And Trump has a rabid following, so baked in attention. Doesn't matter if you have ever donate a penny, your interest in his polling numbers on a daily basis adds to his bank account and to the sites that are professing to have that data. Times every MAGA with a computer or smart phone and cha-ching.

Fck yeah he will. He's got an ego and wants to be president. He's not going to wait. AND he smells blood in the water. He knows Trump is dead meat.

Because ratings would be through the roof. Two fat mouthy fckers teeing off on each other, young versus old. It's total American TV. WWF in politics. Trump knows like any great advertiser attention is almost everything, way more important than message.

Naw, any embarrassment is fleeting and not that great when you consider the alternative. In truth, you might read Dems today saying they'd vote Biden, but as we get closer they're going to be hoping for someone else. But whatever - if it came down to it I'd vote Biden on a ventilator over any Trump and I'm probably like most voters who hate Trump. I think Biden is as much toast as Trump though. I think we're in trouble if either wins.

You should contact DeSantis - he's running ads already that sure look like prez ads. Plus, you got Musk and Rogan pimping for him.

Too early. Both can change by 2024.
