The inescapable knowledge that Republicans could slam the brakes on Trump RIGHT NOW. TODAY.

[Miles Archer]

A lot of political pundits say things like "the checks and balances our founding fathers put in place aren't helping us defend the country against Trump's advancing dictatorship."

But let's play devil's advocate for a moment and wonder how that would change if Republicans said "ENOUGH IS ENOUGH," and that once Trump heads off to his dirt nap, there will BE NO "HEIR" TO THE MAGAt THRONE.

I want to believe America is smart enough to never elect President Donald Trump Jr...

...but I wanted to believe the same thing about his old man. That said, I still don't see it happening.

So the Republicans will eventually have to think about "life after Trump"...what would happen if Rapin' Grampy kicked the bucket, and MAGAts stayed home on election day?

They have no appeal with voters OUTSIDE OF THE TRUMP CULT, and they can't REPLICATE Trump in another body, whether it's JD Vance, or Trump's own son.

So they could start thinking about the future TODAY, and what they're going to do with what's left of their party, or...

...they could just drive off the cliff with their messiah.

But it's not the checks and balances that have failed us. We have been failed by the people who are supposed to ENFORCE those checks & balances.

1. the maga heir will be whoever ends up with epstein's video tapes

putin and netanyahoo have them

elon and thiel (vance is an employee) have enough

trump jr and eric know where they are.

can they work together or will they go to war? stay tuned.

these tapes ONLY lose their power when they are no longer secret. and they will remain secret as long as they have power.

2. I Agree. The Supposed "Checks and Balances" Largely Consist of Elected Congress-folks

Doing their jobs properly, representing all of their constituents, which is exceptionally rare behavior for those with an "r" after their name on the Hill recently.

Suck-upping obeisance and fear of retribution are the driving motives most of them exhibit on the rare occasions they even show up.

4. Yep in the old days both sides would usually

Come together to get rid of bad corruption. Now it's anything to win baby doesn't matter who gets hurt or killed in the way.

Is this because of how people were raised? What brought on all this not caring and lack of empathy? Is it group think where you hear about a group of boys raping a woman and many knew it was wrong didn't want to but got carried away in the moment?

3. The republicans are just empty-headed collaborators. Bottom-feeders.

Too stupid and morally bankrupt to do the right thing. Those who claim they will leave should effing do it NOW.
