I don't disagree, Mark.My point was that all too often he succeeds in having the attention pointed towards whatever shiny bauble he puts out there for a distraction so that he doesn't have to answer to the scrutiny that should be consuming him. I would rather consume information about what there is to stand for rather than continue with the endless outrage machine.

Chinese President Xi Jinping recently consolidated power. He’s now president for life. President for life. And he’s great. I think it’s great. Maybe we’ll give that a shot someday ****** If he’d just hurry up and die, his wish would come true.

Yes, if he’s serving fries at McDonalds. Not when he’s openly declaring his obviously true intentions to rule America forever, as if it were his own slice of Russia.

While Trump is a ‘Look over here so you don’t see what I’m doing over there’ person, power is his motivation. He does not want to give this job up. I don’t think he will give this job up again.
He has said he admires people who will never give their positions of power up. He’s said many times he should look at the two term limit. He’s going to try to stay in power

Trump needs to stay in power because he might be going to prison once he's out of office. Can only pardon himself on federal charges.
(Pardon me if I already said that, but I'm not a morning person and haven't even been up an hour.)

While I held out hope that Trump would face some kind of justice for Jan 6, it’s become patently obvious that there is not the will to do so. After the terrible SCOTUS decision saying presidents can’t be prosecuted for things they do in office, I now have zero hope that he will ever face accountability for his evil, vile actions. I think continuing to hold onto that decaying thread is pointless.

Mea culpa To Ron’s point, there is a bigger story that Trump is distracting from.
The government admits they accidentally sent a Maryland father with protected legal status to the El Salvador prison. This is an outrage that should burn him down.
Whether or not the turd man defies the Constitution for a 3rd term, it is not happening now.
The fire hose of bullshit is overwhelming. There are too many crises and that’s on purpose.
But HOLY SHIT! A U.S. MAN PUT IN A CONCENTRATION CAMP WITH NO DUE PROCESS AND NO PLAN TO GET HIM OUT.

Their claim is that while he shouldn’t have gone there, as they believe he is involved in a gang, they are going to leave him there. I’m not so sure this is actually a mistake in their eyes. I’m not so sure it actually was a ‘mistake’ but was actually a calculated act.

And while on the subject of these press briefings, I am getting sick of hearing the phrase, said in an oh so condescending manner by someone who has the moral compass of an ‘I don’t know what’, that ‘It. is. a. fact’.
You just know that if that phrase leaves her mouth, we are about to hear a lie.
