Wow, just caught up on the last 80 pages of this thread over a bottle of wine :stonk:

Aside from the usual GOP sycophants like Graham and rabidly GOP House R’s, I’m really surprised there’s not more unified Republican pushback on this. It seems to me like everyone is waiting for their marching orders.

Was also surprised at what a good job Schiff did in those hearings the other day.

I think the real one to watch, as always, is McConnell. I imagine he’s doing the political calculus right now on if he can knife Trump over this and ride into a Dem presidency in the senate as majority/minority leader. After making GBS threads on Obama, packing the courts under Trump, then cutting him loose in the name of patriotism or loyalty to country over party or whatever, to finish out his career basically just howling “Dems bad” without the distraction of Trump bringing constant attention to CRIMES seems straight out of the McConnell playbook.

He's also getting up there in age so it's not beyond The pale to think that he might be considering just bowing out.

He's doing rallies for reelection, or at least he was until he fell and tore up his shoulder.

He's also spending time getting boo'd out of restaurants all over Kentucky so there's that.

Does Kyle Griffin have a count of Saturdays where Trump is not golfing or at a Trump owned location?

I'm sure there are a few where Trump was out of the country on official business, but I'm just wondering.

Can someone find that article about how to read what anonymous sources mean? I think it was from Lawfare? "Sources familiar with his thinking" seems to imply an advisor, aide, or close friend.

I’m curious how much they’re selling that for because a single 45 cartridge costs about 25 cents.

That looks a bit long for a 45. Aren't 45s typically shorter and fatter?

Fear is the glue that holds society together. It's what makes people suppress their worst impulses. Fear is power.

And at the end of fear, oblivion.

.45 only describes the diameter of the bullet (part that makes you go ouch). The size of the cartridge is not necessarily tied to the caliber (how much powder make bullet go zoom)

So I hadn't considered this - trump's campaign is now going to spend a gently caress ton of money on propaganda to try and keep public opinion from dooming him.

Even their level of fundraising off of chuds is not sustainable enough for this poo poo.

Plastic straws cost about 0.2-0.3 cents each when ordered in bulk wholesale quantities.

Trumps Grift Shop is selling 10 straws for $15 (excluding tax and shipping). The shipping even takes 2 weeks.
