Trump's only going to get worse

His psychopathy is being enabled, emboldened and even encouraged like never before. He truly believes his power has no limits and no one around him is telling him no. Which is why he's acting even more obnoxious and vile than usual.

Trump is only going to become more dangerous and annoying with each passing day. The next 3 years are going to feel like 30. Just look at how he's acted the past 8 months. With Project 2025 in place Trump is doing damage to the government even when he's asleep.

So don't expect Trump to get better or suddenly change his ways. Or to be shamed into becoming a kinder person.
A 79 year old billionaires with the most powerful job on the planet doesn't have a lot of incentive to attend therapy or examine the consequences of what they do and say.

So now when Trump says or tweets something awful I just yawn. It's his administration's actions I'm more scared of.

They have to win big and immediately impeach and remove supreme court members to force a liberal majority on the scotus.

Venezuela's opposition won a 2 3rds majority in the legislature in 2015. They worked too slow and immediately were ruled by the supreme court as null and void. Dont think that cannot happen here.

28. The thing about a back-alley knife fight...
Sun Sep 21, 2025, 04:12 PM
Sep 21

...is that there are no rules or referees. Just one or more people with knives, all intending to leave the alley alive.

McConnell, at the worst of his "Grim Reaper" days, was asked if he'd "work with Democrats" to pass legislation. His smirky reply was something like "yes, if they vote on OUR INITIATIVES." Meaning they could pass reams of Republican wish-list items and expect nothing in return.

So it's a two-parter...we need to win big, and then we need to go feral. Because Republicans would react to big Dem wins like trapped rats.

….the data and many votes were deleted and or flipped and the GOP and the media have been selling
the LIE that Harris just wasn’t popular and didn’t get the turn out. In truth she crushed Trump but the
fix was in. @ least that is what I think.

https://thiswillhold.substack.com/archive?sort=top

Trump knew the fix was in just by looking @ his actions and words.

Giving a blow job to the microphone.

His breaking of decency and protocol @ Arlington National Cemetery.

Talking about the size of Arnold Palmer’s dick in his hometown of Latrobe, PA.

His rallies were 1/2 full and people were walking out as he was acting crazy.

2 or 3 times he said in public I don’t need anymore votes.

If able, Trump will go out with as big an impact as possible.

Want Trump to be gone and also worry about what could follow.

Worry about major war.

The USA, Russia, and Israel are all operating outside of international laws and violently bullying other countries. China is poised to replace the USA as predominant in economic and technological leadership. Weapon markets and the arms race are of higher priority than the environmental crisis and natural resource bounds.

We don't appear to have much impact to turn the trends.

"If he has to" is not the relevant measure.
"when he can" is probably where we are at right now. Likely enough soon to be "when he feels like it"

Country and he gets desperate and his ratings and the economy go lower. And there are just enough crazy ones out there to do that. I worry about my sister in law and her magaloon husband he went off on her when she told him to turn off the Cuck memorial service today!
