A bombshell filing out of Donald Trump’s election subversion case was unsealed Wednesday, revealing a trove of damning allegations about how the former president acted on and around Jan. 6, 2021.
Among the nastiest accusations in the 165-page document was how Trump allegedly reacted to learning from an aide that his vice president, Mike Pence, had been taken to a secure location in the U.S. Capitol for his safety.
Trump’s alleged response to that news: “So what?”

Imagine being JD Vance, looking at all of the people smarter and more experienced than him with their shattered careers after working for Trump, and thinking “But I’m the one who will figure out how to ride this tiger to my own advantage!”
Rudy Giuliani went from being “America’s mayor” to being an absolute fucking laughingstock, a man so generally reviled that he couldn’t sustain an appearance on The Masked Singer.
Anyone, literally anyone at any level, at this point who thinks that Trump won’t throw them under the bus at his earliest convenience is just actively seeking their own destruction.
All the people in Trump’s circle at this point are doing an all-or-nothing gambit hoping that they can seize power if Trump dies or is sent to prison.
Either their career ends in humiliation and shame or they get elevated to the highest office in the land without having to spend the money for it. Some might see that as a good gamble.
what?! the guy who bankrupted a casino for short-term real estate gains? not a trustworthy partner? how could it be?
It’s probably the best chance Vance has at the presidency. Roughly 50/50 that Trump wins, and I’d say there is about an 80% chance that Trump dies in office or gets 25th’d after a stroke. Those are pretty tempting odds to get in the presidency. Vance doesn’t have enough pull with hate groups to get the Republicans nomination.

It’s hard to value a face when you’re so used to having two of them.
