Trump just screwed himself last night in so many ways it’s hard to count. For starters, the fact that he went to the length of actually officially filing the paperwork for his candidacy with the FEC is a clear demonstration of just how terrified he is with the two different DOJ grand juries and the Georgia grand jury. The only thing he can think of to do is this, then go around shouting “I’m a for-real candidate! They’re persecuting me politically! It’s a witch hunt!” He hopes that will be enough to hold Attorney General Garland at bay.
This commenter wants to emphasize TC's strong message:
__'Remember: Trump is a Trumpist; DeSantis is a full-on fascist'
__'He (Trump) planned in 2020 to decapitate the Federal Executive Service with ‘Schedule F”, a category that would allow him to appoint who he wanted at will, to serve at his pleasure. He will do it in 2025.'
__'This would destroy the U.S. Government as completely as anything done by Hitler in Germany.'
Omarosa commented to media that "he needs to come clean about his health." I have no idea what she is inferring, but the incessant sniffing and incoherent ranting might be indicative of something going on. I am hoping that as he goes to war with himself during these next months, there will be a mighty implosion. And also hoping that while reporters have to keep an eye on him, they won't give him free publicity.
another excellent and completely necessary piece. I was getting a little nervous that you were preparing to count DeSantis as somehow the more-acceptable-than-TFF option. but you came through and read DeSantis exactly the way I do. the thing is, his negative charisma issue, along with his much-documented thin skin well might cause him to self-destruct in some way that he won't be able to come back from it. yes, that's wishful thinking, but it doesn't necessarily mean it's not true. but I guess we'll see.
and since we're talking about TFF for the millionth time, I want to make another very minor point: I heard TFF's new nickname for DeSantis and I very clearly noted (and I haven't checked to see if I'm right because it's not really that important) that he called him "DeSantimonious," not "DeSanctimonious." I remember being pleased that he'd once again demonstrated his stupidity. but I maintain that there is absolutely no way in the world he knew the word "sanctimonious."
Well, we DO know & there is no such "pressure" existing that would cause/make him conform to OUR Democratic government - that was made obvious for far too many past years. He sure is an absolute danger BUT there's far too many that have learned how to do it "better".

I've been thinking about 2 things ssince Trump announced his 2024 bid for the White House. 1. He's cut
off a lot of his funding, so who will be financing him? 2. DeSantis. If we
we thought Trump was a danger to
our democracy, keep this man as far away from Washington as we can. Talk about a clear and present
danger!

Can felons run for President? *gets the popcorn*
I'm with you! Something tells he won't get that far! His base isn't strong enough to stick with him. The sound of one hand clapping comes to mind.

So, marginalize "trumpist Trump" while, at the same time, blocking "fascist DeSantis". ..some heavy lifting ahead.
We could sure use a "Deus ex machina" !

Just amplifying my own fear that the legacy press will see DeSantis as the “reasonable” alternative to Trump.
Couldn’t agree more with every syllable
Oooo. I love a good pointer.
Thank you.

Way to lay it on the line TC. Now we'll see who crosses it.
