So it turns out that President Donald Trump posting a video of himself dumping poop on Americans was not a winning electoral strategy for the Republican Party.

Dispatching roving gangs of masked federal agents to cities across America and giving them carte blanche to grab whoever they want while tossing teargas at anyone who doesn’t like it? Also not a real vote-winner, apparently…

None of this is popular. None of this has made any regular American’s life better. None of this has brought down grocery bills, made housing more affordable, or provided better health insurance…

      Rule one of fascism is never giving your opponent credit for actual actual victories unless they can be tainted.

      This is all legit blow outs against their ideology and the money backing it. They can’t taint it meaningfully without overstepping or revealing how corrupt they are.

    Is the old paedo, traitor, convicted criminal and rapist in prison? Or was he arrested for any of the above?
    No… Oh, then no message was sent, nor received.

    When the mushy brained dementia ridden fool is going to feel any real consequences for his many crimes then that’ll be sending a message. All this will do is make his handlers more motivated to keep the power when the term is up.

      Well, if it lead to a Democratic Socialist leading the financial capital of the USA that’s something.
