If the republican establishment are against what he is doing, they would try to stop him. There is no signs that they are stopping him. They are all happily going along with him. They are complicit in this. They are responsible for this.

That will royally piss off his cult followers. What do republicans have left if the cult followers are pissed off? They are stuck with Trump and they know it.

I would put nothing past McConnell. Without the senate, Biden will be limited in how much cleanup he can do. He can still do a lot, DOJ, other agencies, but the mess we have in front of us, we need the WH and both chambers. Sheesh. If I wrote this into a story & presented it to my critique group, they would laugh me out of the room & say, "That story is just not believable. It's too far fetched."

feed the animal heavy duty steroids and 'roid rage takes on whole new meaning....I did a course of dexamethasone..the physical side effects are nearly intolerable but the hallucinations, the raging anger, the feeling of invincibility is much worse...I remember telling the doctor never again..he said it works...I told him yes it does but my husband was standing on my hospital bed shouting at me...the doctor asked me why did my husband stand on the bed and not sit in a chair...I suggested he check my chart...I'm a widow..
