It's because Trump is siphoning off all of their money from small donations. That's why theyre all going broke.

loving love this line, 'if you build it, they will come', and how much it fucks dudes like this over

it's always the exact same thing, they thought just putting an event or business together was all they needed to do, and then by putting that space together the people would magically appear. it's only after they've spent all their money and no one came that they realize they majorly hosed up by putting together a thing but doing zero marketing or community awareness about said thing

How can they prosecute Biden?

According to Trump and his lawyers, Presidents have immunity from everything.

Im glad my instant dislike in you has been validated again and again.

I watched that January 6th documentary on max(was pretty good) and he was it and came off as like decent and intelligent. I am genuinely curious why he chose to bite this bullet. He isn’t trying to push Biden from the left or something like that, nor is he a secret chud. It just strikes me as he got a fat head and went for it and pissed away a lot of good will he had.

I remember when everyone said this about every Republican and then they said it about Hillary in 2016

No, turns out they would not "crush" Trump because everyone else is only playing pig. Trump isn't pretending to be a stupid rear end in a top hat

Which of these two situations resonate more with the Republican voter:

A smirking Trump goes out on stage and announces that his opponent's wife is ugly
A bored-looking Nikki Haley calls Vivek Ramaswamy "scum"

There's a pretty wide gap between "there might be something" and the "well this completely derails the case against Trump you guys, doggone it, I thought we had him that time :sigh:" thing that some people seem to be doing ITT.

Like, let's wait until an actual ruling is handed down before we declare game over and TOTAL EXONNERATION FOR TRUMP!

Another attempt is certainly possible, but without Trump in charge of the military/police response the outcome inevitably ends even more poorly for them than it did last time.

Ultimately I think this is the real limiting factor for more MAGA violence. Trump has tried to incite hog mobs at various points during his trials but they haven't materialized despite their being flat out told to do it again. But without Trump in the seat of power they are up against the executive, not warring on his behalf, and their terror attempts have been neutered.

for all his faults and idiocy he could stand up there and have an uninterrupted stream of consciousness for like 45 loving minutes and barely take a breath. nowadays he looks like he is gasping after 5 minutes.
