Himes: "Already you see the White House in an absolute panic over gas prices, coming up with wild ideas

Himes: "Already you see the White House in an absolute panic over gas prices, coming up with wild ideas ... they understand that this terrible decision they have taken is going to end this presidency. We're gonna have a lame duck president for 3 years with 20 to 30% approval."

It makes him act out more. He gets angry that everyone isn’t worshipping him.

When deprived, he throws a sadistic temper tantrum to make him feel better.

there are no checks and balances.
And he loves the power and cruelty.
And all the wealth he is accruing.

He will get worse and worse yes.

He really does have a bad health prognosis. He’s the type to take everyone with him.

Steal and destroy everything in sight.

Maybe his family will talk him out of it.
But they love the damage and money as much as he does.

I take great pleasure in knowing that it's really stupid of him if he does because he won't be around long enough to use any of it. He'll be dead sooner rather than later. Basically malignant narcissists get no pleasure out of anything really. They just keep thinking that someday they'll fill that hole that's inside of them if only they can get more (_________) fill in the blank.

Keeping my fingers crossed that it’s only a couple more weeks when heart attack , stroke, and cardiac arrest all get him simultaneously.

that the elections are actually held, and the votes counted correctly. There is no way trump and r's win under those circumstances. With a democratic house and senate, we can successfully impeach AND convict him... and maybe get him put behind bars once and for all.

Best case scenario means Democrats get maybe 52-53 Senators. There's no way we're getting 14-15 Republicans to vote to convict him in a Senate trial.

who's going to be in a Rabid Frothing Lather over that. He seems to know what he's talking about.
