I'm thinking that, after the 2026 primaries are over, there's going to be a huge revolt against the Orange Felon, as all those red state Congresscritters start realizing that, if they try to run on their record of brown-nosing the Orange Felon, there's a very real chance they'll get creamed.
Remember, in special elections across the board in 2025 and 2026, Democrats have been cleaning up, getting elected even in districts that heavily favored Orange Felon in 2024. The most recent example is of Emily Gregory, a Democrat who just won an election for the Florida State House in a district that includes Donny's vermin-infested Motel-a-Lago, one that he won by 10 points in 2024.
Yeah, Donny could try to get them primaried in the next election, but, if it's a case of "lose now or lose later," a lot of them will try to avoid losing now. After all, if they've already won their primaries this year, what's he going to do? Endorse the Democrat?
Still, no matter what happens, if it's a fair election, it's going to be an absolute bloodbath for Republicans. That's why the Orange Felon is trying so hard to get the "Save America By Rigging The Elections (and Also Some Stuff About Trans) Act" rammed through.
the Department of War must have full, unrestricted access to Anthropic’s models for every LAWFUL purpose in defense of the Republic.
This from the guy who asserts that double-tapping "drug boats" in international waters is "lawful."
This is one reason why I believe that one of the first actions of a sane administration in 2029 must be to enter into the Statutes of Rome, placing the U.S. under the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court, and then hand Piss-Drunk Pete Kegstand over to The Hague to stand trial on charges of war crimes and/or crimes against humanity, right alongside ICE Barbie the Puppy Perforator, Li'l Marco, Nosferatu McGoebbels, Couchf**ker McGee, and the Orange Felon himself.
In my mind, the next President should issue an executive order reading much like this:
Whereas I find that the MAGA ideology, as espoused by former President Donald Trump and as enshrined in the "Project 2025" document from the Heritage Foundation, is inherently authoritarian, pedophilic, and fascist in nature, and as such, is anathema to the Constitution and people of the United States; andWhereas the events over the second term of the former President (2025-2029) bear witness to the nature of this ideology;Therefore be it ordered that anyone advocating or promoting the MAGA/Trumpist ideology henceforth SHALL be liable under 18 USC § 2385, advocating the overthrow of the government, and shall be subject to prosecution and sentencing under that provision as prescribed by law.
(Yes, the language will need fixing up, by someone who is an actual lawyer.)
Effectively, our government has been overthrown by the Orange Felon and his ilk. A measure like this would emphasize that we can't let it happen again.
There will be a reckoning.
At some point, this criminal Administration will be out of office, and sane individuals will be elected to the Presidency and Congress. And, when that happens, those that have perpetrated crimes and abuses must answer for them.
Two things should happen here:
First, the United States should formally join the Statutes of Rome, subjecting it to the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court. At that point, we should then hand over the highest-level criminals of this administration (Donald Trump, J.D. Vance, Kristi Noem, Pete Hegseth, Stephen Miller, others) to the Court, to stand trial on charges of war crimes and/or crimes against humanity.
Second, there must be a Nuremberg-style trial for all officers of ICE. For those guilty of the most heinous crimes, we must erect gallows.
There are other aspects of the reckoning that should happen, including measures, both in statute and in Constitutional Amendment, to ensure that, like the Holocaust, this never happens again. We will never be able to hold our heads up among the free nations of the world again unless this is done.
There will be a reckoning.
Maybe we should be encouraging him to waste time on piddly-ass grifts like the Trump Phone. That way he'd have less time to spend on things like crashing the economy, sending thugs out to murder American citizens on the streets of Minneapolis, and blacking his name out in all of the Epstein Files.
Any analysis of using the courts to somehow declare that the Orange Felon has "abandoned" his office must take into account the fact that the present Supreme Court is also compromised.
The current conservative majority of six has already declared the Orange Felon to be A Very Special Boy Who Gets to Crime All He Wants. There is no way that they will support any attempt to declare the Presidency vacant.
Sadly, the Framers don't seem to have provided any escape hatch in the case of a government where all three branches have been compromised. The only other remote possibility would be an Article V Convention of States that could amend the Constitution to deal with this, but you'd need at least 38 states on board to ensure any remediating amendment gets ratified, and that seems equally unlikely.
Keep in mind that Concerned Ape is basically one guy, Eric Barone, from Seattle. And he's probably scared sh*tless that any attempt to raise objection to Orange Felon's IP appropriation would result in his being targeted by unhinged MAGA supporters, maybe even threatening his life.
If Barone has or knows any good lawyers, he might file something in court, which is a lot more impersonal, but even that wouldn't guarantee that he wouldn't start needing bodyguards.
As an engineer who's now been laid off for over a year, this would be attractive, except for a few things:
1. They're probably only opening opportunities up to people who are currently employed by a FAANG/Mag7/BATMMAAN company or equivalent, for grift reasons mentioned above.
2. I'm a trans woman. Do you think this administration is going to want me around? Especially when they're doing their damnedest to eliminate me and my kind?
3. I wouldn't work for Orange Felon and his Confederacy of Sewer Clowns anyway.
Bari Weiss, official zampolit (political officer) for CBS News, is hell-bent on turning the network of Walter Cronkite, Dan Rather, Mike Wallace, and Connie Chung into "Fox News for people who know which fork to use for the salad."
There will be a reckoning.
When the Orange Felon and his Confederacy of Sewer Clowns have departed office, there will be Nuremberg-style trials against all those who have engaged in acts contrary to the Constitution of this nation. And, as at the original Nuremberg trials, "I was just following orders" will not be a defense.
(Personally, I would be 100% OK with the next President declaring Trumpist/MAGA ideology as inherently authoritarian and contrary to the Constitution, and that anyone espousing it shall be liable under 18 USC § 2385, advocating the overthrow of the government.)
Venezuela and Colombia need to bring cases to the International Criminal Court, against both Trump and Hegseth. That way, if either of them ever sets foot in a country that honors the Statute of Rome, they can have the cuffs slapped on and be sent to The Hague for trial. At the very least, it'll keep them out of the civilized world.
The Orange Felon says he's "giving [the $230M] to charity" if he gets it. Of course, he firmly believes in the 144th Ferengi Rule of Acquisition: "There's nothing wrong with charity...as long as it winds up in your pocket."
I also wonder if this is some kind of veiled jab at trans women, whose sperm count drops when they're on HRT. It would be typical of the Orange Felon and his Confederacy of Sewer Clowns to do something like that.
Unfortunately, the Orange Felon does have something to hold over Disney's head: the pending acquisition of the NFL Network by ESPN:
The NFL announced Tuesday night that it has entered into a nonbinding agreement with ESPN. Under the terms, ESPN will acquire NFL Network, NFL Fantasy and the rights to distribute the RedZone channel to cable and satellite operators and the league will get a 10% equity stake in ESPN.
The league and ESPN still have to negotiate a final agreement and get approval from NFL owners. The agreement will also have to undergo regulatory approvals.(my emphasis)
According to Ari Fleischer, a former White House Press Secretary under President George W. Bush, this situation might be one that President Donald Trump sees as “political catnip,” in his words.
“Given his interest in the NFL, and his history of using media mergers for leverage, it’s hard to see him not playing around with this,” Fleischer told Front Office Sports, according to the Post. “I doubt this will be a straightforward commercial transaction.”
I wouldn't mention him at all, except for the fact that he himself said, in 2023:
"I think it's worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights."
Guess he took one for the team, then. Karma is a cast-iron bitch.
Wherever he is, I hope he's pleased with the outcome.
Why call it a "bias monitor" or "truth arbiter"? There's a good, punchy term already available: zampolit (Russian: "political officer").
I'm sure it's just coincidence that this "bias monitor"/"truth arbiter" will serve the same purpose as the zampoliti of the Soviet armed forces did.

Well, now the Orange Felon has kicked Little Miss Hair Extensions to the curb. So yeah.

Unfortunately, the Orange Felon does have something to hold over Disney's head: the pending acquisition of the NFL Network by ESPN:
And there it is. Just like Paramount/CBS wanting to be bought by Skydance, and we all know how that turned out. I'm not the only one to point this out: Just like Frito Pendejo, Disney likes money.I wouldn't mention him at all, except for the fact that he himself said, in 2023: "I think it's worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights."

John Brunner was right:
(The Shockwave Rider) All the Feds and troops out on the streets of DC looking for criminals: I suggest you drop by 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW.Why call it a "bias monitor" or "truth arbiter"? There's a good, punchy term already available: zampolit (Russian: "political officer"). I'm sure it's just coincidence that this "bias monitor"/"truth arbiter" will serve the same purpose as the zampoliti of the Soviet armed forces did.
I wouldn't do that. That would just hand the Orange Felon an excuse to declare martial law and start rounding up everybody he doesn't like.
”Zampolit.” It sounds better in the original Russian.
