Former president Donald Trump called on Congress to investigate the multiple investigations into him on the local, state and federal level in a series of posts on Truth Social.

    Dude thinks he still owns the GOP. They desperately want to move on from him though.

      Most of the leadership would love to be done with him, but remember a record number of people voted for him in the last election. He still holds a troubling amount of sway.

      In a disturbing number of people eyes though, he does own the GOP

      In our representative plutocracy, US parties pivoted their business model to deliver legislation to donors, and deliver tribalism and spectacle to voters.

      Trump really upped the bar at delivering spectacle compared to Willard Romney. But Trump is/was shit at delivering legislation, and he wants a personal cut of all the donations. But he brought in new money.

      The GOP leadership can’t decide if they want him around because he’s a pain in their collective asses. He brings in votes and money, but can’t be relied on for legislation. What will unite the GOP is Trump having a stroke that leaves him unable to talk.

    Nothing like having your party’s frontrunner currently on trial for multiple felonies.

      It really shows that Conservatives have terrible character traits and should never be trusted.

    I could swear in 2016 his campaign made a quip about investigating investigations.

          Please don’t insult Dibbler like that again. I’d cut me own throat before voting for Trump. For Dibbler I’d consider buying a sausage from him, if I were a wizard, and knew when my last day was going to be.

          Man, this just reminded me I need to continue my Discworld journey. I started from the beginning and made my way through Sourcery, but paused to jump to Asimov’s Robots series and into Foundation. By the time I was done with that I forgot all about Discworld.

          Years ago I found this sweet Discworld Reading Guide Infographic and thanks to you I will use it to hop back on the disc with Wyrd Sisters.
