    Let’s be real, there’s only so much of any Cluster B most people can take before trying to escape by any means available. Usually fleeing in the opposite direction with a complete address and phone number change. Trump is the most life force sucking of the 4 types.

    This guy must be fried. It’s his own fault, truly, but even talking about retiring to Louisiana sounds a little too spot on.

    At this point, I’m not surprised he’s talking back. There’s probably a swath of these guys looking forward to midterms as a potential escape that’s someone else’s fault because they have no balls to quit on their own.

      I agree with everything you wrote but the last sentence.

      The swath of chuds looking for an ego saving out are a bigger problem to decency than a mere lack of sufficiently robust cojones.

      A mere coward can find a backbone.

      These chuds have whored themselves soul to asshole with a clearer view of the evil which would be empowered by their short-sightedness than you or I know, as we can mostly infer.

      All for the merest piece of power in an even more twisted hierarchy that they are to help usher in, and it is only the possibility of failure and losing the promised in-group protection that gives them their instinct to activate the duplicity subroutines within the speech centers of their rectum.

      In many ways, they’re worse than the actual “masterminds” behind this wave of scum, and I’d see them all scourged out of existence, first, if it were possible.

      These cowards make me more ashamed of sharing a taxonomy with them than the actual fuckers who would see me dead of out actual twisted conviction.

        Of course. Nazis could not have done what they had done without ready enlistees in the army and regular citizens being narcs.

        There are always bullies. SS and Trumps new ICE types. But how far could they get without all the rest backing them up, through inaction or otherwise?

        Though the roll over and play dead with inaction crowd is always an active majority. Right now as well. In part, it’s that human element Palanuik references in Fight Club, the start a fight with someone assignment. The other part is, middle of the bell curve, not leadership material, but people who wait for a leader to follow.

        Meanwhile, the constitution burns.

          Then why do his supporters keep saying things like “daddy’s back!” (Rep. Byron Johnson, R-FL), or chanting “daddy Trump!” at rallies?

          If you grew up in a particular kind of household, Trump is sadly familiar.

    Wow, we’ve finally found the line that Johnson isn’t comfortable crossing.

    I’m impressed, I didn’t think he had a threshold for his sycophantism.

    It’s kind of amazing how this has united both sides of the aisle. It kinda shows how fucking extreme Trump and Hegseth are that people from their own party are going “Jesus Christ this is too far”.

      Because he came to this “conclusion” days after many many people already did and sees the bad optics forming even in his own party.

            Pretty sure it’s universal, but for sure it always hurts more when it is the strongest colonizing power that is stuck in the fascist power loop.
