The Independent properly addressed a head line towards the GOP… “Navalny’s death has shown Speaker Mike Johnson up as a coward” Navalny was willing to take on Putin…Johnson cowers and caves to Marjorie Taylor Greene…

From The Independent: “Navalny was willing to take on Vladimir Putin and risk his life. Johnson is so afraid of losing his speakership that he caves to Marjorie Taylor Greene.” <<< that right there ought to be up in lights in Times Square.

They thrive on victimization. Narcissists do that. It's always about them. Over 60 million people in this country suffer from Narcissistic Abuse. Their cognitive dissonance has grown into psychological terrorism. They are the worst of humanity. They are the worst abusers on the planet. They're toxic and dangerous. They're your neighbor, your co-worker, your elected Representative, a partner, a parent. They are everywhere. Approach with caution. Or not at all.

I think that Trump has been dropped by his previous backers very recently ? Anyone else hear the rumor that the Space Nazi ordered him to back out of the election campaign at their recent meeting in Palm Springs ? If so, watch how the news media begin to push Nikki Haley as a remedy to GOP presidential campaign ills. I do not know enough about her to judge whether she would be just as dangerous a POTUS as Trump or not.

With their Strongman going down perhaps the GOP will now break into conflicting factions becoming a descending death spiral of circular firing squads.

Oh no, she is definitely a MAGAts moron. She is a flip flopper and would definitely run that office with his policies. She is just as dangerous as he is.

If he drops out and I don't believe that his narcissism will allow him to, Biden has a greater chance of losing. Right now, Biden's chances of winning are monumental with demented don as the nominee.

That is very interesting... Haley is still a Republican, and has said she would sign any abortion ban that hit her desk, just like she did as Gov of SC.

Newt's always been insane, that's the first thing that ever struck me about him when I'd see a clip of him talking - so self-assured and confident in whatever narrative he was spinning, cherry picking facts as needed and re-connecting the dots to create an alternate history for that topic or event, no room for doubt or uncertainty, just delivering a non-stop monologue to the camera. Next time I saw that type of speech style was when Trump would be delivering a non-pause monologue of made-up and "alternate" facts. Steve Bannon speaks in a similar way. I've come to group the 3 of them as the "trinity of insanity". But maybe it's just me.

I have ALWAYS laid our current state of politics at the feet of Newt Gingrich. Even Reagan wasn't as much of an asshole. I can still remember his bullshit "Contract with America" from the 1995 House, and of course, how were we to know that it was actually a Contract ON America at the time? Nasty, personalized politics came from the mind of Gingrich, with a healthy dose of "help" every day from Rush Limbaugh, who, it can never be emphasized enough, is STILL DEAD.

Navalny was the most vocal and visible to the entire world opponent of Putin. The one who motivated Russians to question Putin's intentions. There are many Russians who are happy that Eastern Europe can do what they want and that Russia doesn't have to prop them up or police them or worry about them. Russia is a big place and has enough to worry about.

Who would imprison Jack Smith and thousands of others and do away with them at his whim? The Orange Menace rubs his hands with glee. It is all in his campaign rhetoric.
