He's not going to stop throwing gasoline on the fire.

Glenn has a very good chance of winning - but watch the "vote counters" in Virginia. As the 2020 Presidential Election Scam has proven, they can be far more important than the candidate!

[AndyinPA]

No, he's not. Only a well-placed cardiac event will stop him. As long as he breathes, this will continue.

[Suranis]

He's an addict, and attention is his heroin. He won't stop chasing that dragon.

Eh, doesn't really look like Mel Gibson to me. *Shrug* either way.

Looks like FORMER President OSG has watched Gangs of New York.



Funny how he lauds the MAGA strength in Virginia. Gillespie beat the RWNJ candidate in the primary and Trump endorsed him for the general even as Gillespie avoided too much connection with Trump. Apparently, avoiding to much connection with Trump means you are asking for help and not getting it.

Oh and he lost the election even with a Trump endorsement.

The Trump style dude, Corey Stewart, who lost the primary did run for Senate in 2018. He was stompted on on the election. Kaine treaded on him.

I wish the MFer would just die

I would wish that, but I want him to stroke out...unable to move, or speak, but be fully aware of what's going on around him. Then I want him to see his little empire crumble around him, his Org turned to cinder and ash by criminal and civil suits, his kids going off to long stays at prisons for corruption or some such, the GQP leaves him behind and memory holes him, and finally his mail order hooker wheels him to the nursing home and he watches her walk away forever with her new 20 something Latin boy toy.


That is what I want him to suffer. Yeah, I'm a bad person...too bad I gotta live with myself...

[AndyinPA]

That will just get him sympathy from the crazies. I used to think that, but he's just more dangerous each day that he lives.

Sympathy from some, sure. But remember how much of him to them is the façade, the speech [despite to me sounding like someone needs to wheel grandpa back to the nursing home], the Persian whorehouse decoration of his places, ect. Without that, many will find a new guru of stupid who has the ability to speak and walk.

But I must admit I could be wrong, they may just vote his vegetable self back in to the Oval Office...

I used to also wish for a stroke so he would have to watch his daughter/crush change his crappy diapers but I just wish now he would die

[filly]

Every freaking news program should do this every time t**** opens his pie hole:

[neonzx]

"Tremendous people"

"Love-fest"

[RVInit]

I used to also wish for a stroke so he would have to watch his daughter/crush change his crappy diapers but I just wish now he would die

to this and what everyone else is saying. I always said that Trump is going to continue to be a problem as long as he is alive. Just imagine what would be happening if he still had his Twitter account. He is a menace to American society and I don't think I have ever wished anyone would just freaking die as much as I wish this putrid piece of dung would just freaking die.

[Suranis]

I do the worst thing I can do to him - I don't think about him very much anymore. He should be as forgotten as President Buccannan. He wants to be occupying your thoughts, Don't let him. The less you think about him the happier you will be. Think about him when appropriate, then drop him. The lessening of his internet presence the lessening of the mentions of his name is a stab in his heart.

I wish the MFer would just die

No. He's suffering now, an his support dwindles more every day. Every cry for attention is his pain manifested and as he fades into total obscurity he's quietly going mad.

I like the idea of him living to 99, still wandering into random weddings and funerals, declaring that he got robbed and everyone rolling their eyes at him.

I want his children to desert him after he tosses them under the bus and they go to prison for him. I want him to suffer the public humiliation of losing everything he has and living out his own decline in the one house in Florida he shielded from bankruptcy because in Florida you can do that. (He won't be able to keep Mar-A-Griftco, however he signed several documents declaring it a business and specifically not a residence).

Yes, I want the phucker to live longer than Keith Richards and for every day to be worse than the day before. I wanna watch him suffer for the rest of my own life,

Here's what worries me. As Trump the individual becomes less and less relevant, all of those folks who made up his "base" are going to look elsewhere for leadership. And they're going to find it in the "New Apostolic Reformation" movement of ultra-conservative Christians. These folks are way more dangerous to our democracy than Trump ever was.

The Washington Post has a story. https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2 ... re-church/

The church is called Mercy Culture, and it is part of a growing Christian movement that is nondenominational, openly political and has become an engine of former president Donald Trump’s Republican Party. It includes some of the largest congregations in the nation, housed in the husks of old Baptist churches, former big-box stores and sprawling multimillion-dollar buildings with private security to direct traffic on Sundays. Its most successful leaders are considered apostles and prophets, including some with followings in the hundreds of thousands, publishing empires, TV shows, vast prayer networks, podcasts, spiritual academies, and branding in the form of T-shirts, bumper stickers and even flags. It is a world in which demons are real, miracles are real, and the ultimate mission is not just transforming individual lives but also turning civilization itself into their version of God’s Kingdom: one with two genders, no abortion, a free-market economy, Bible-based education, church-based social programs and laws such as the ones curtailing LGBTQ rights now moving through statehouses around the country.

This is the world of Trump’s spiritual adviser Paula White and many more lesser-known but influential religious leaders who prophesied that Trump would win the election and helped organize nationwide prayer rallies in the days before the Jan. 6 insurrection, speaking of an imminent “heavenly strike” and “a Christian populist uprising,” leading many who stormed the Capitol to believe they were taking back the country for God.

Even as mainline Protestant and evangelical denominations continue an overall decline in numbers in a changing America, nondenominational congregations have surged from being virtually nonexistent in the 1980s to accounting for roughly 1 in 10 Americans in 2020, according to long-term academic surveys of religious affiliation. Church leaders tend to attribute the growth to the power of an uncompromised Christianity. Experts seeking a more historical understanding point to a relatively recent development called the New Apostolic Reformation, or NAR.

A California-based theologian coined the phrase in the 1990s to describe what he said he had seen as a missionary in Latin America — vast church growth, miracles, and modern-day prophets and apostles endowed with special powers to fight demonic forces. He and others promoted new church models using sociological principles to attract members. They also began advancing a set of beliefs called dominionism, which holds that God commands Christians to assert authority over the “seven mountains” of life — family, religion, education, economy, arts, media and government — after which time Jesus Christ will return and God will reign for eternity.

None of which is new, exactly. Strains of this thinking formed the basis of the Christian right in the 1970s and have fueled the GOP for decades.

What is new is the degree to which Trump elevated a fresh network of NAR-style leaders who in turn elevated him as God’s chosen president, a fusion that has secured the movement as a grass-roots force within the GOP just as the old Christian right is waning. Increasingly, this is the world that the term “evangelical voter” refers to — not white-haired Southern Baptists in wooden pews but the comparatively younger, more diverse, more extreme world of millions drawn to leaders who believe they are igniting a new Great Awakening in America, one whose epicenter is Texas.

The big difference is that Buchanan wanted to forget his time as President as well. The most dangerous place to be in the White House on inauguration day was between Buchanan and the exit door.

Religious movements don't scare me much. Belief wanes more every day in the US and the fact is, some day soon the nuts are gonna go to far and spur a backlash. It might be the states making it illegal for people to vote unless they're wearing a MAGA hat and can prove they're white for 4 generations. It might be Roe v. Wade being tossed or the Republican Party falling deeper into the abyss of crazy but I'm optimistic that in the next 6 or so years these phucksticks are gonna get buried. They're a shrinking minority and frankly a lot of people are getting tired of them.

As much as I'd like to savour the schadenfreude of Gregg's imagery, the pragmatist in me knows that the sooner he's gone from politics the better for America and the world. Nazism existed (and still exists) beyond Hitler, but it was Hitler's ability to tap into his base's anger that made Nazism viable. Without him it's a fairly weak movement. It's the same with Trump. He's the focal point that others feed from, and once he's gone there won't be anyone as effective to channel the fundamental nastiness that defines Trumpism today. Even as a senile dotard his existence can be used to rally the base, but once he's truly gone I think Trumpism will dissipate fairly quickly.

Valid point and a good argument to have him immediately cremated and his ashes dispersed at sea when he let's slip the mortal coil, lest his grave become a shrine of idiocy to rally round.

That, or hang his fat ass on a meathook in a town square, ala' Mussolini.
