Close Enough Is Never Good Enough

My prediction is a Blue Tsunami in November that eventuates in his impeachment and removal from office. People like me had been trying to get advice to him; trying to nudge him, but he's indifferent to actual MAGA. He's listening to the Corporate Cons. I wish him luck. https://t.co/WF41gR8AYl

I would find this even insightful if I didn’t stumble over the assumption that Trump ever cared what MAGA wants. As Trump said early on, “I love the poorly educated.” Trump has never seen MAGA as anything but the rubes for his con.

Trump is a con man; has always been a con man; will always be a con man. But he’s not what Hollywood portrays as a good con man, because Trump believes the corporate con.  In fiction, you’re supposed to know to never believe the con. Trump believes anything that he thinks makes him look good.

WATCH: On Abolishing vs. Reforming ICE

Asked about the Banner article about ICE/THP terrorizing the Nashville community, Gov. Newsom tells the Holler’s @Kanew he backs the Democrats’ push to reform ICE (not abolish) — calls on Kristi Noem, Bovino, etc. to resign pic.twitter.com/nTDG9HxW1Y

If Democratic leadership, and wannabe leadership, won’t even publicly agree to abolish ICE, they’re never going to remove Trump from office. Not unless they have enough votes to not need Fetterman. And I think even with a supermajority, even with 100 Democratic senators, they wouldn’t have that many votes.
