Bolton states that Putin was waiting to see if Trump took over, and if USA would leave NATO! I think this is a much under discussed and under utilized aspect of the administration of the twice impeached disgraced other guy. We are seeing considerable backpedaling of the Hijos de Putin. I wonder if the Proud Boys are lining up to go and fight for Russia to protect their freedumbs, until they realize that the first thing he would do, is to take their guns. I hoping that there may be wider realization among the White Nationalists, that just maybe an authoritarian controlled regime is not what they really want. After all in authoritarian rule, unless you are the lead dog, the view never changes! For a culture that is based on the freedumb premise that: Nobody can tell me what to do, they just might want to revise their plans for a "free" America.
What would be happening now if the other guy had prevailed in Jan 6?

It's no secret that Trump was a Putin taint licking, useful idiot.

Contrarian, extraordinaire

I think in Proud Boy Bizarro World, "freedom" means "freedom for them to inflict pain on others with impunity" and "freedom to restrict the freedom of any who are not like them".

It’s a fact Trump cost the Republicans their 2 Georgia Senate seats in the January 2021 runoffs with his, “Your vote won’t count,” campaign. This could be a reason that Georgia Republicans are pushing back against Trump. Kemp who refused to find those 11,780 votes, causing him to fall out of Trump’s favor and onto his hit list. Kemp leads Trump endorsed and Trump campaigned for Perdue so far in the GOP primary to be held 24 May.

https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2022/governor/Georgia.html

It wouldn’t surprise me one bit if Kemp does hold on and win the Republican nomination for governor, Trump will once again begin a stay at home, your vote won’t work campaign. Trump could be Abrams biggest asset when it comes to winning the Georgia governorship.

It's probably Trump and his candidates that are also limiting the Republicans gains in the house to 12-15 seats when with the very low approval of both Biden and the democrats in congress, historically with those numbers a red wave should be happening, 40 or more seats lost by the party in power. 5 or 6 senate seats instead of a possible gain or loss of 1 seat or a tie once more. But as it has been with Trump, historical wisdom, convention and norms have all been thrown out the window.


It's high past time that we start electing Americans to congress and the presidency who put America first instead of their political party. For way too long we have been electing Republicans and Democrats who happen to be Americans instead of Americans who happen to be Republicans and Democrats.

Bingo!

Trump's candidates are a pack of scoundrels and thieves and wifebeaters.

Do you think for one minute that they and Taylor-Greene, Cauthen, Boebert, and even DeSantis are winning over independent hearts and minds?

Nawp.

Because they all are so terribly bad, most independents won't vote for them.

The results of all the red meat slinging, revenge politics will be the loss of a red wave in the midterms and possibly the loss of the 2024 presidential elections as well.

Folks might be sick and tired of hearing DeSantis' name in a year or so. I certainly am.
