Takeaway: It's hard -- very hard -- to win a fight when one side decides that there are no rules anymore. Just win, and own the opposition. All else is a means to those ends.

I'm talking about Russia here. Or the GOP. Or both. It's hard to see much of a philosophical difference anymore within their Mutual Admiration Society. What's left is to wonder if the GOP will resort to the same tactics of limitless violence and repression, if given the chance. Elephant in the room alert: what if the MAGA Republicans win back the White House and add control of the military to their ability to impose their will?
I've become convinced that all those secret talks Putin had with Trump, and it seems a number of Rs, have led to this. It's too damn organized that all these lying SOBs came up with this on their own. Given how intricate the web of 1/6 organizers is, it's definitely more than a bunch of amateurs.
MAGA game plan: Win the House and the Senate; Install TFG as Speaker of the House; Impeach Biden and Harris with conviction in the Senate; Speaker Trump becomes President Trump; Appoint the Flynn brothers as Secretary of Defense and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Voila.
Remember that it would take 67 Senate votes to convict Biden and Harris during impeachment. In Trump’s second impeachment there were 57 votes to convict, but the standard for conviction is purposely set quite high to prevent scenarios like the Biden/Harris one you brought up.
And they already have the Supreme Court to validate in the face of any challenges. Each day a little more I'm certain that the 2016 presidential election was the most consequential in the history of our nation, excepting perhaps only 1860.
Nothing like those night and day differences to remind us of how we've changed!
(And just to correct my previous post, the R's would have to win back the Senate by 17, which is not likely, fortunately. So, my "Voila" was a bit hasty.)

Yes, thank you. I did correct it in a later post in the thread.
