2/ Cheney:
Trump also says that if his interactions with Pence are deemed immune, the entire case has to go
SMITH doesn't present any counterproposal to Trump re: timing of the case or trial. He basically says it's up to Chutkan

@GottaLaff One might think that sedition is not a function of a US president.
-
@CStamp What a concept

Since 2015 it feels like I am trapped in a slow motion never ending trumpian nightmare...please wake me! -
@Snowshadow @GottaLaff @CStamp 2 more months...

Are telling me he will simply vanish after the election? I doubt he will go quietly into the night. (though I wish it to be so)
@GottaLaff @CStamp -
@Snowshadow @BubblegumYeti @GottaLaff It'll be easier to put him in jail, and from there, he won't have constant access to the internet to constantly rile his base.
-
@CStamp @Snowshadow @BubblegumYeti Right IF he goes to jail and isn't just confined to one of his properties.
MAGA lives on, despite where he ends up. MAGA is just another offshoot of Nazis, fascists, etc. who never go away, but pop at at various times in history under various movements/names.
-
@GottaLaff @Snowshadow @BubblegumYeti Without him, it won't have the same impact. He brought them out of the woodwork and without him, they'll crawl back into the woodwork.
-
@CStamp @Snowshadow @BubblegumYeti Maybe.
-
@GottaLaff @CStamp @Snowshadow @BubblegumYeti
Yeah, hope Carolyn is right. Trump is a pretty unique animal. It is not clear his particular brand of crazy cult leader is transferable. The fascists will always be here, but someone who can really get the moronic masses energized? That's more or an unknown.
-
@mastodonmigration It happens every generation or so. My point is, just because he may go away, it in no way guarantees that Trumpism/MAGA will, but just in a different form. He may be the loudest and most charismatic/effective for the moment, but there will be others. @CStamp @Snowshadow @BubblegumYeti
-
@GottaLaff @mastodonmigration @Snowshadow @BubblegumYeti I will never understand people using "charismatic" with the man. He is so revolting. His look, accordion hands, enunciation, rambling word salads, his anus-shaped mouth spouting nothing but diarrhea.
-
@GottaLaff @CStamp @Snowshadow @BubblegumYeti
You are right there. The Nazis didn't go away when Hitler was defeated. They just waited for someone like Trump to rally around to reassert their poison.
BTW. Love this old Chumbawamba song on this subject...
-
@CStamp @GottaLaff @Snowshadow @BubblegumYeti
Well, you probably wouldn't have been swept away by Hitler's shtick either. But it is pretty undeniable that Trump's nonsense appeals to lots of people, as difficult as that is to comprehend.

@GottaLaff @mastodonmigration @CStamp @Snowshadow @BubblegumYeti There are hundreds of white nationalist incel-types who are champing at the bit to replace Trump. They fancy they are smarter than Trump so can succeed where he has failed. Why do you think a whole bunch of wannabe Trumps have podcasts? Why do you think Wannabe Kennedy Jr endorsed Trump?! Ted Cruz? Tucker? Josh Hawley? Fascista Gabbard?

So many of them only appeal to one set of white men! -

They are so self-centered and myopic they think all white guys are like them or wannabe them, which is why Tim Walz so naturally and easily destroys their stupid illusions about what women want -- it's not them. Not the tanned testicle, fake flannel, I hate women "alpha" MAGA men.

Which is why getting Steve Kerr and Steph Curry to speak at the DNC was so impactful. You don't have to be a jerk to be masculine. And why having the New York Time publish this weird ode to the 'Manoverse' is so twisted.
