Trump's ego and self-image are so fragile that he cannot admit having made any mistakes whatsoever, nor can he conceive that anyone else could have a better or even alternative viewpoint. He sees himself as so brilliant that if there is any resistance to what he wills, it is egregiously illegal and unconscionable. His father has done a helluva job in creating a Hitler clone.

Trump just likes to hear....what he likes to hear. 
Beyond these lawyer crews,  most of his administration was stocked this way.....grifters, crazies, cult worshippers, under qualified for the job, BS artists, mushroom kissers, etc.    History will regard that particular administration as a total steaming mess.....

Waaay back when I took management studies, we were told that the worst, the most incompetent managers invariably chose and/or promoted subordinates who were so fearful and useless that they would do pretty much anything to stay in favour. Kinda describes the Trump regime.

I kid, I kid- it's a good thing. That bill finally has bipartisan support- and then some.

Conservatives will have to leave the GOP. The party is gone full alt-right, wacko, nut jobs.

 

Where are all the alt-right posters now? I saw one was back. 

At first glance, Romney would appear to be the leading (only sane) contender for the next leader of the GOP. However, there are indications that the party will split down the middle along pro and anti-Trump lines. Should this happen, neither of these will garner enough votes to challenge the Democrats. This will force the two sides into an uneasy alliance much as happened here in Canada. The resulting alliance will dance to the tune of the more aggressive members, again, as has happened in Canada.

I don't know if they're will be a split. Some will leave but the party has been leading up to this for generations. This is who they are.

Typing is hard.

Problem with the GOP, is that the cultists (under Trump) have already gotten a taste.  It has reached the point, where these crazed zealots will never settle for merely co-operating or working together with more moderate Republicans. 
Anyone in that party who exercises critical thinking, expresses themselves freely, and even worse....tells the truth.....are simply stinking, globalist, deep state, RINO traitors, who must be shunned and cast out.

And of course, you have DJT offstage, who will continue to preach to the deluded, and support attacks on his "enemies"

What a mess...

Agreed. The best thing that could happen to the US would be that the totality of Trump/GOP involvement in the January  insurrection is revealed in the impeachment hearings followed by aggressive prosecution of the GOPers and Trump with a steady parade to jail- especially Trump and his inner circle.

This is a party that believes Jews put a laser in space and started the fires in California. You can't reason with stupid, ****ing racist garbage.

No, but you can discredit them and put them in jail. That would change the minds of those open to that. Many will simply harden their positions.

For a fringe movement Q seems to be everywhere, especially in the Republican party and especially when Republicans says they don't know what Q is

 

 

Of course, he would be foolish to testify under oath. But, since he's been cut off Twitter and doesn't have his Klan rallies anymore, he might be tempted, just for the attention.

It would be more than foolish.   Trump under oath?  Wonder how many perjury charges can be racked up in a single individual's testimony.

I think he would plead the fifth on most questions and try to distract and throw around crazy ideas. It would all be a show to him. He won't provide anything of substance. So, basically the last five years.

All the GOP would need is.... Trump spewing stuff about the rigged stolen election and buttressing the Dems case for impeachment.,..

please make it so

 

If anyone has seen the deposition that Trump did a few years ago you would see why putting Trump on the stand would be the biggest mistake ever.

Fox News getting sued now over the voting machine thing. I hadn't heard the 'accusations' until now, the Venezuelans did it, lol.  

Quote

The three Venezuelan co-founders formed Smartmatic after the 2000 U.S. presidential election to resolve the issue of hanging chads -- a bit of the ballot that isn’t punched out all the way -- by replacing paper ballots with digital alternatives. The conspiracy contrived by Giuliani and Powell claimed that Dominion installed Smartmatic software on its voting machines across the country, and that Smartmatic maintains allegiances to Venezuela’s socialist leaders, including the late former President Hugo Chavez, according to the lawsuit.

Trump owned a team in the USFL  which sued the NFL for pressuring the TV  networks to not give the USFL coverage. The USFL lawyers had the case in the bag (according to the jurors) until Trump took the stand at his insistence and against the pleas of the lawyers. He came across as so stupid and arrogant that the entire jury found the NFL guilty but awarded the USFL the princely sum of ONE DOLLAR.  The other USFL owners were so angry that none of them chose to appeal the verdict and none ever spoke to Trump or did business with him again. I would think that Trump would not pass up an opportunity to be the center of attention in the belief that he would be so clever and convincing that he would single-handedly convince the whole nation of his righteousness.
