it was better to deal with a known representative of the US state than an unknown one.
We're seeing the same temper-tantrum lack of foresight with the California "Impeach Newsom" idiocy. They don't have anyone ready to run in his stead, they're just holding their breath and stomping their feet because they're mad at him. This is a transparent far-right-wing-nutjob campaign (in that it has nothing to do with a reasoned, considered disagreement - just a wild "he's an asshole" tone).
Those guys afraid that someone's coming for their guns (even though, in two full terms of never-impeached Obama it never ever happened) and now they don't like shutdowns and isolation and the hospitalization that's happening around them - even though they're causing it with their mask refusal and "it's a hoax" idiocy? Here's a livestream of those spinchters:
It doesn't really matter because the republicans are closing ranks behind trump. Marjorie Taylor Greene is now the leader of the party with Cruz grovelling at her feet.
EX-cellent. The more twisted and indefensible and mystical the "party" becomes, the more likely it is to fragment and something more reasonable coalesce from its pieces.

Please, there are plenty of somewhat moderate republicans I don't approve of, although they are being purged at an alarming rate.
So my immediate modest vision would be a party that doesn't promote baseless conspiracy theories and doesn't promote violent insurrection. And the whole world has a stake in that.
I do disagree with Steely, I think it is most likely that the republican party will unite behind the faction that tried to overthrow the republic.
Optometrists make us see more clearly, don't they?

You tell me. It was your team who wanted to assassinate her.
If you believe in tabloids, only. All the while tabloids seem all the people feed on, yet can't digest. A good source to weigh and balance such headlines could be here.
I'm flying over backyards Country homes and ranches Watching life between the branches below And it's hard to say Who you are these days But you run on anyway Don't you, baby?
The Viet Cong were very careful to not assassinate US government personnel because the national liberation organization reckoned that it was better to deal with a known representative of the US state than an unknown one.
It is not clear that remaining Trump supporters are as smart or smarter than the Viet Cong......
Perhaps it does not require saying (again). But the Viet Cong managed to WIN and finally expel the American child-killing terrorists.
How about a gentler way of deprogramming folks? The Science of Reasoning With Unreasonable People Donât try to change someone elseâs mind. Instead, help them find their own motivation to change.
A somewhat "peaceful" approach, yet disturbingly characterized through casteist, if not racist thinking... Any idea of "programming people" seems "casteist", if not somewhat "racist" in itself. - No? - If not, who's programming whom?!
What would be wrong about giving a good example for people to follow in one's own environment, instead of trying to verbally persuading them (of one's own freakin' opinions) all the time?
I guess, that's where the adjective of being "opinionated" takes root, to it's own rot.

First things first: sterilization, then deprogramming.
Sterilization would be a redundant waste of money. The slightest whiff of Eau De Donnie Dingleberry sends most sentient women running. Homo Erectus always did better with the ladies than than the other apes. Use of tools over brawn, fire over freezing yer cave a** off - these things - meant more than chest beating. Always have ... and always will.

"And now, with legal briefs due next week and a trial set to begin only days later, Trump is clinging to his election fraud charade and suddenly finds himself without legal representation."
(Remember how, yesterday, there was an announcement of two new lawyers on his team? Now they and three others have all left.)
Wow, Trump's lawyers didn't want to "lie" and litigate Trump's stolen election falsehoods.... what a shocker. I guess they found their "spines" after all. Better put in a call to Rudy.
Could Trump be a bigger f*ckup at this point?
Methinks not.
I think it soon will be revealed that those lawyers were part of the Deep State!
By getting rid of them, Trump is draining The Swamp!
