Frank Figliuzzi boils TFG running for president again down into this analogy.

[ffr]

"If a guy named Donald J. Trump applied tomorrow to serve coffee at Starbucks at the FBI headquarters. Based on his record of mishandling documents??!! He would not get the security clearance needed for the coffee job at FBI headquarters. AND YET! People are talking about him running for president again."

1. People find trump's incompetence

attractive.

I suppose it must be satisfying to be able to say, "I could do a better job!"

[tavernier]

9. I do say that about him

But I don’t find that attractive and I would never vote for him based on that or anything else.

[Lonestarblue]

12. They know about his incompetence and don't care.

He tells them what the want to hear. White supremacy is okay, liberals are taking away your rights, LGBTQ are damning the country and the traditional American way of life, immigrants are stealing your jobs but also living on welfare you pay for, black people and immigrants are committing crimes that threaten your families, and on and on. He also has given the religious right their every wish. They know he is irreligious, but he gave them power that they know they will lose if Democrats hold on to majorities. They will vote for any Republican devil because that’s their ticket to shoving their religion down everyone else’s throat.

15. You speak with straight tongue, white eyes.

The words, the words, you pegged them with the words.
I'd just add " venal" into the script somewhere. I like using "venal" when talking about Republicans.
Oh, and please take no offense if your eyes are not white. It's just a term of phrase Tonto would use.

[Lonestarblue]

17. No offense taken. I, too, like the term venal to describe Republicans. It's a perfect fit.

[czarjak]

27. You get what you pay for?

[musclecar6]

2. Some people

Think he’s a special person. I guess cause he told them so. Just look at who they are. Ya know, the ones that are behind him at his rally’s.

[harumph]

4. The people at the rallies are plebian window dressing.

The actual $ backers of Trump wouldn't be caught dead at those rallies.

[erronis]

22. I think those actors are still being paid chits for coffee (covfefe) and cold budgers

after sitting in those seats listening to a whiny voice for hours.

They must be really hungry.

And stupid if they think their chits are worth squat.

[aggiesal]

7. Yup, he's Special-Ed n/t

[Walleye]

3. If he does run again after losing badly he will be an instant lame duck.

Republicans have gotten really bad at politics

[samsingh]

5. republican presidents are above the law because their supporters are traitors and hate america

[aggiesal]

6. The more I hear about this story ...

the more I believe that Pendejo45 stole the nuclear TS capabilities on Israel and has either sold or was planning to selling them to Saudi Arabia.

[Ligyron]

8. And if they can prove he sold any of those documents to anyone...

He will for sure go to jail.

Even though I know it would be potentially harmful to our or other nation’s security, In a way I hope he did.

[erronis]

23. That's a more emphatic statement than I would be able to make.

We no longer know who will go to jail for any crime ----

Other than if you're poor, non-white.

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

25. Unfortunately, Judge Cannon said TFG can't even be investigated

because it might hurt his feelings. So she granted him more power than any president has ever had -- including the current office holder. And the judge wasn't even asked to consider the issue of executive privilege. Who says there's not one set of laws for DJT and one for the rest of us?

[FakeNoose]

14. I don't think Kushner would have allowed it to happen

The media has been very clear all along that Jared Kushner is extremely pro-Israel, even using his White House connections to get favors for Netanyahu and other Israelis. Jared would have kept an eye on where the secrets were being traded, and most likely he was the bag man for Chump anyway. So he would have had a say on whose secrets got shopped around.

I really think there should be a public Congressional "Benghazi-style" hearing with Jared Kushner on the witness stand for 11 hours. He'll tell us a lot more than Chump ever would.

[Justice matters.]

16. All good, except this unanswerable question (yet).

We know the orange grifter did not reside (still doesn't) in his shithole down in Merd-o-Largo for now two summers.

What if the Saudis or Iranians or Russians spies (able to open single-locked doors and drawers, even safes) to go there and manage to sneak in his office while nobody watched?

I mean, basic international intelligence gathering technique if you asked any Hollywood screenwriters??

[intrepidity]

20. Even Israel getting it's hands on secret stuff we know about them

is valuable to them. It doesn't just benefit enemies.

It informs them, even our friends, of our intel abilities.

[erronis]

24. Kushner isn't pro-Israel or pro-Saudi Arabia or pro-Iran or pro-USSR. He's all in for $$$$.

He'll sell his skinny sole for as much mulah (mullah?) as he can get.

He'll start wars and inflame hatreds if that gets him financial benefit.

Not sure if his toy bride gives a shit about anything anymore. Probably doped up (in multiple meanings.)

Other than having billions in assets (which may be precarious) I'm not sure how the financial world would handle Kushner trying to actually utilize his resources.

Hoping that the US and other nations can put a tight seal on what he can access until he explains what were the reasons for his acquisition..

[Bernardo de La Paz]

10. tRump? I barely knew him. Did he fetch covfefe?

[FakeNoose]

11. I've got news - all the signs were there to disqualify Chump even in 2016

Did the Repuke Party do its diligence in vetting their candidate? Of course not, they never do. For Chump the US media rolled over and let him walk all over them. Once he was in, everyone shut up and kept their heads down. Nobody said a word as he told lies and committed crimes.

People keep making references to Nazi Germany and how Hitler came to power. To me, the way Chump took over the GOP and still has his grip on it even now, that's the perfect analogy to Hitler. Some of the other stuff isn't analogous, but the way the GOP just laid down for him is perfectly relevant.

[Cosmocat]

18. Y E P

45 is sloppier, not nearly as disciplined and doesn't care to try to have the pretense of appealing to public opinion. But, this is an increasingly unserious country and in that context the parallels track very similarly.

[intrepidity]

21. He was thoroughly vetted.

GOP's ultimate goal is to destroy government.

Sabotage is their game. The *only* reason to vote with them is to accomplish that destruction.

[onetexan]

13. IMO every candidate for POTUS needs to go through a security clearance check BEFORE they're allowed

to even campaign. There needs to be full disclosure of tax documents from X number of years, thorough background checks, any reported incidences, etc. investigated. Noone should ever be allowed to be running for any office, nevermind POTUS, if they don't pass these checks.

[H2O Man]

19. Recommended.

26. One man's terrorist is another's freedom fighter...

Forget the Second American Civil War -- these jackasses might view it the Second American Revolution!
