Putin isn't invading any of the EU. He's struggling like fuck in Ukraine and Russia is going to take a long time to recover from his little adventure whether he wins or loses.
Russia, Belarus, "Ukraine", Hungary, Serbia, Slovakia.
Could name a few others, especially when the USA turns against NATO.

You do not face Putin alone. He is already backed by almost all of mainland Asia. Half the world's population. And that's today. Tomorrow? Anyone who lacks nuclear weapons is already dead.

IMO I'm with @gothuevos, let the Pubs have their trifecta. In 2017 they had a trifecta and only managed to give us... A tax bill and a higher deficit.

IMO the best argument against any kind of conservative agenda is to actually implement one.

I have a deeply morbid curiosity about how things will go with a trifecta. How much of that whacked out agenda is Trump going to be able to actually pass vs how much of this was just staying out of jail.

Pubs also got a Supreme Court majority for who knows how long & federal judges that will do Trumps bidding (Aileen Cannon)

I'm expecting this 2nd Trump executive to be a lot more vicious due to all the litigation he experienced post-presidency

Trump will have the power to enact his revenge

Calm down, take your pills, he isn't going to get a 3rd term. the status quo will continue. He won't pass anything of any substance, and life will go on. Attend your therapy meetings and repeat after me: You're ok.
On Australian TV they had an American commentator argue that Trump will be weak as a lame duck president. He won't have the power like he did in his first term. Maybe thats more true in a second half of his term. But then again he has had plenty of power over GOP even when he wasn't in the party. His personal endorsement matters and will matter for the rest of his life.

Edit: it seems you now have a king, even if you didn't want one.

Problem being that no matter what Trump does if he wins, his supporters will react the same way they've been reacting to the many crimes he's committed, to his racism, his sedition, his refusal to admit defeat. They will simply keep ignoring his crimes thinking he wouldn't turn against the very people who put him in office and keep making excuses for why they fucked up so bad by putting his fat ass back in office again. They will even justify to themselves that somebody else is to blame for making them do what they did.

Lessons were supposed to be learned from his previous clown act and crime spree yet here we are, facing the unimaginable again. Well, the people I really feel sympathy for are those civil servants who are going to have to quit their jobs in protest, get summarily fired or kneel at Trump's feet and lie to him about what a magnificent stable genius he is.

Life goes on.

So added powers, tariffs, mass-deportations, magic 'peace' in Ukraine and good luck world. I'm sure Victor will call and congratulate.

I'm curious... with a trifecta is it possible for Trump to get the laws changed and go for a 3rd and 4th term?

Only if he can rule from an oxygen chamber with tubes sticking out from his body while his sycophant surrogates are putting up their souls for sale to the highest bidders, impatiently waiting for Trump to breathe his last.

Like Biden, I really don't think Trump can last more than one term and be fully functional in the natural order of things. Although modern medicine can keep him artificially sentient for a couple of years after his internment, his best days have expired a long time ago. He has been emotionally and physically damaged beyond repair over the past eight years so hey, maybe without him this ugly vile curse he's cast over the nation won't exist for too much longer after he gets wheeled out of office.

Winning: Alito and Thomas can finally retire!!!

Losing: Trump gets to pick 30-something/40-something MAGA replacements who’ll be much, much worse. Aileen Cannon? Putting a Hispanic woman on the court would thrill all his new voters. Shit, if I’m Trump, I’m putting Cannon on the court and attaching DACA to immigration/asylum reform. Reagan earned permanent Republican loyalty from Cuban Americans for the boat lift—Trump can earn it from Mexican Americans with a DACA that rewards them and punishes Nicaraguans/Costa Ricans and more recent Latino immigrants.

Fuck it. Why stop at 9 on the court? Dems wanted to stack the court…why can’t Trump do it? I’m sure Cornyn or Scott or whomever leads the Senate won’t object. They’re probably dumping the filibuster too.

It's worse. Not even kings are necessarily above the law like our fuhrer will be.

We'll see how much of this actually happens. Tarrifs are a dumb idea, and will reignite inflation.

Ukraine are done I guess.

Deportations unlikely IMO. Even from a logistical stand point, I don't think that a Trump admin would be able to execute such a thing even if they wanted to.

Spoiler: he doesn't want to. He hires illegals.

Ah yes the minimization and acceptance of fascism. Just wonderful.
It was a former Trump campaign advisor.

He also said "half the country doesn't like to be talked down to or demeaned."

But it's ok to call the other half vermin, enemy from within, commies, etc.

Remember, JD Vance said they need to be willing to "wield power."

We are fucked. Scrub your social media if you haven't already.
