Republicans are panicking. Senator Ted Cruz tells donors he had the following dialog with Trump because the economy is failing:

Ted Cruz: “Mr President, […] we’re going to go into election day, face a bloodbath. You’re going to lose the House, you’re going to lose the Senate, you’re going to spend the next two years being impeached every single week.”

Donald Trump: “Fuck you, Ted.”

The Trump Regime isn’t worried about the elections in November. Because they will do everything to make sure to invoke the Insurrection Act, and kill democracy. You think all those years these people spend studying Nazis was a hobby?

Them executing civilians in the street to incite violence, is about creating a plausible event to invoke it.

Don’t think for a second they won’t, because they will. They’ve been at it for years now, and soon they’ll succeed.

See also https://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/119/s2070, or how a Bill to limit the powers under de Insurrection Act is going nowhere.

@randahl Some people like romance, or historical fiction, but I like stories about unhappy conservatives completing karmic circles.

@randahl @sleeve98 By the way: If #demracys win both house and senator, they must first impeach #jdvance and don’t allow #trump to choose a new vp. Then impeace trump. If succeded than a democrat become president (speaker of the house) obstacle i think is the 2/3 votes needed (not sure). If impeaching trump first Vance Will be president.

- Donald Trump: “Fuck you, Ted.”

I hate to say it, but I agree with him. 🙄 Pardon me while I bleach my brain.

@randahl Ted's wrong. If Dems retake both houses, Taco won't be facing two years of impeachment. Maybe two months, if that. After that, he'll be removed. And after THAT, likely charged with major crimes, and likely face prison. That's assuming he survives that long, and is deemed fit to stand trial, instead of being declared incompetent and committed to a facility, where he'll slowly fade from public memory while investigations of his family and associates go on for years.
