Less fun when they realize en-masse that their statin-extended lifespans mean their savings won't last long enough to ensure decent care. My experience volunteering at a nursing home, one that was soon after closed due to various health violations, is that you really don't want to be looked after by an overworked caregiver earning minimum wage.

Trump isn't sleeping at all is he? What does sleep depravation do to an already malfunctioning brain belonging to a raging narcissist?

I'm afraid he's going to nuke something just for the gently caress of it.

he's never slept much (he blasts elton john on air force one so his cronies couldn't sleep either because he thinks sleeping is a sign of weakness) but i gotta imagine he's running on practically zero now.

He did the same thing with Pelosi during the presser with Zelenskyy. Saying she’s not Speaker anymore. It’s like his normal MO of trying to get people to resign without firing them. That’s what it looks like in public.

Yes, it's authoritarian as gently caress and if a democrat were to do it the entire gop hate machine would boil over with seething rage. It's incredibly dangerous and dumb bullshit for any president to scream and it's awful that it's normalized.

The situation is already ideal for anyone who looks at this in a electoral outcomes / math nerd sort of way.

It's timed well enough to inspire conspiracy theories about intentionally using election-influencing timeframes to drop a scandal in the most damaging window for the presidential election and it's perfectly primed to exacerbate and harden the popular support divide against conservatives, linked inexorably to Trump.

I know that the GOP had strategies in place for a certain amount of electoral crisis (mostly fixing elections and loving over minorities but what else is new) but the reason why they aren't able to cohesively make an organized front right now is probably because they are admitting among themselves that they don't know how to handle how bad this is probably going to get and have probably been told that their current degree of antidemocratic election fixing is not sufficient to correct for it.

The most important takeaway I have seen so far is this:

quote:

the republicans wanted to have a situation where the democrats not impeaching or not getting the votes for an impeachment confirmation in the Senate was all that mattered and would be a win for them. they don't have this anymore. they have a situation where it's VERY LIKELY that bringing the impeachment vote to the Senate before the election and forcing the gop to publicly vote in lockstep to save an obviously corrupt president results in them losing the white house and the senate. they are probably in a situation where having to vote on it causes them to lose in a big, generational way.

even if trump 'wins' the vote.

public support for the impeachment inquiry already jumped about 20 percent in, as far as we know, the first day directly after the release of the transcript. It puts it already at 49% to 46% in support. sometimes, numbers are huge. the current huge number is what percentage of likely voters will never vote for trump under any circumstances. this number was traditionally a much more fringe population, because you have a wider body of more flexible potential voters who could go back or forth on it. not so much, anymore.

Ya it's why everyone has been screaming at dem leadership to lead from the front for months, instead of chasing polls. There are a ton of fringe voters who would coin flip who they vote for, but seeing 'president corrupt being impeached for corruption' can almost guarantee they won't bother voting for him, and definitely changes the outlook on his presidency for many others.
