Demographics have moved against him and he has alienated even more people.
she's just trying to get in on the coattails (although late)..it's Cali; not enough rednecks exist in that far off land.

Not a primary run by Trump but anyone badmouthing Trump will be up against a person with Trump's PAC backing them.

I hope you are right, on both counts, the heavily armed rednecks will fair rather badly next time. The real mess is gonna be on the state level, that's where the most fanatical are and that's who will be counting the votes (like Stalin said). If the democrats can keep the house and a few seats in the senate in 2022, they will kill rouge elephant, permanently. Let something new arise in America and corral the crazies in the nuthouse that the GOP has become for the next decade.
At the time I thought the capital hill insurrection should have been met with miniguns on the steps of the capital and hundreds of the fuckers should have been mowed like grass and chopped in half. In retrospect it turned out better that they got inside, terrorized the congress and smeared shit on the walls, millions walked out of the GOP over it. If anything helps to keep these assholes out of power in 2022, it will be the capital insurrection and Trump and company going down for it later this year, or early next year. I expect confessing the big lie and handing Donald's head to the feds on a silver platter for insurrection will be the only way out for Rudy and should earn him a free walk.

True enough. And quite a few of them WILL get elected no matter how batshit crazy they are. This is because large parts of the country are made up of a majority of dumb people.Not a primary run by Trump but anyone badmouthing Trump will be up against a person with Trump's PAC backing them.

It will make for and interesting dynamic. I am of course using that as a euphemism for rednecks with guns and worse killing people.
The future of this country depends on the middle ground.

Wait a minute, they had a vote? Fake news, Liz shouldn't accept it, she really won that vote, it wasn't even recorded. So she supposedly lost a vote made by people who didn't believe in voting and won't accept the results of an election. Fuck them, Liz won! 
They never held a vote on Matt Gaetz, he hasn't been charged with a crime yet though, but neither was Liz... Next Matt will be charged with a crime, but will keep his place on the judiciary committee, because he's innocent until proven guilty and then it will be, he can sit until he begins his sentence, then he can still hold his congressional seat from prison, because he's appealing... Finally he will run for his congressional seat from federal prison in 2022 and probably win in his redneck district.
Look on the bright side Matt, you might get to spend some quality time with Trump in federal prison, maybe even become his cell mate one day, after what's left of him gets out of Sing sing NY.

GOP downplays Jan. 6 violence: Like a 'normal tourist visit'
Republican after Republican on Wednesday repeatedly sought to downplay the violence of the Jan. 6 insurrection, with one Georgia lawmaker likening the mobs overwhelming Capitol Police and vandalizing Capitol offices to a “normal tourist visit.”
Rep. Andrew Clyde (R-Ga.) made the tourist comment, saying that calling what happened at the Capitol on Jan. 6 an insurrection “is a boldfaced lie.”
“Watching the TV footage of those who entered the Capitol and walked through Statuary Hall showed people in an orderly fashion staying between the stanchions and ropes taking videos and pictures,” the first-term lawmaker said. “You know, if you didn’t know the TV footage was a video from Jan. 6, you’d think it was a normal tourist visit.”
Rep. Ralph Norman (R-S.C.) questioned whether the rioters were motivated by support for the former president, even though many of them have confirmed it in legal proceedings.
“I don't know who did a poll to say that they were Trump supporters,” Norman said of the mob, many of whom were carrying signs or wearing clothing indicating their support for Trump.
“It was not an insurrection,” added Clyde, who noted he was in the House chamber when the mob tried to break down the doors. “There was an undisciplined mob. There were some rioters and some who committed acts of vandalism.”

Trump critics push new direction for GOP
Republican critics of former President Trump are forging ahead with their effort to weaken his grip on the party even as it becomes increasingly clear doing so may be a herculean task.
A group of more than 100 Republicans, including former national and state officials, are expected to release a letter this week warning that they are prepared to launch a third party unless the GOP steps back from its increasingly Trump-centric approach to politics.
“It’s time for the GOP to clean up its act, and if it doesn't, we need to hasten the creation of an alternative,” said Miles Taylor, a former Homeland Security official under Trump who is among those organizing the effort to demand changes within the GOP.
“I don’t want to make any mistakes about this: Donald Trump can’t get to 50 percent,” Taylor continued. “He cost us the White House. He cost us the House of Representatives. He cost us the Senate. He cost us half a million American lives in COVID. He can’t win. He’s a washed-up, one-time, single-term president.”

Actually a good idea. No way they could win an election but if they use being a spoiler and the democrats then winning, they can leverage the party away from Trump. They should use 2022 as an example they can be a force to recon with.

That PAC is Trump's. That's his money. He's pocketing that money the instant it comes in. In all likelihood, it's already gone.
Trump uses that PAC for leverage and all those idiots are kissing his ass to get some of it but they are wasting their time.
They have as much chance of getting any of Trump's PAC money as those kids with cancer had of getting a dime out of the now shut down Trump Foundation.

Those Russian's weren't suppose to attack Russian assets! Looks like they might go for a long walk in the forest...
This kind of attack only strengthens Biden's case for a hardened green grid. Attacking oil and gas infrastructure should be a no, no for a country as dependent on oil and gas exports as Russia. It gives us (North American power grid) a warning and motivation to move forward with grid upgrades. One thing though, the government(s) should get stock in exchange for upgrade money, a piece of the action should be required for cash, or they pay for the MANDITORY upgrades themselves.
I wonder how much Koch is gonna make off the infrastructure plan to upgrade computer systems and security that they should have been upgrading all along. Let private critical infrastructure fall down while pocketing profits, then when it collapses and creates a national emergency, get lots of free money from the government to upgrade and repair, sweet deal.

Roberts has shit on his face now and no longer has a political home, as do the other conservatives on the SCOTUS, it was burned down by Trump and his base. I don't think he will fuck with the new voting rights act or HR1, he got burned pretty bad dancing on the red hot stovetop.

How Chief Justice John Roberts Gutted The Voting Rights Act
“John Roberts took this completely effective way of balancing all these different interests and destroyed it because he just didn't like it. And nothing has risen up in this place,” says Chris Hayes on the Supreme Court gutting of the Voting Rights Act.
