    Here is an author who wrote a book The End of History and The Last Man in 1992 who claims at 2min in a talk about his latest book that he mentioned the arrival of Donald Trump as a possible usurper back in the day...

    Incidentally, the Washington DC bookstore Prose and Politics has a ****eload of video talks by authors promoting their books over time; Hilary, Barack, tons of political theorists and journalists on their youtube channel...

    A lot of books written about Trump in the last four years are the subject of these talks.

    Yes - We absolutely are.

    The only reason they are riled up about "Stolen Elections" etc. is because he and his GOP lackeys has lied to their faces endlessly for years about the "Radical Left" and how they steal everything and how they were "Coming for your guns" and how they were going to "murder all the babies" and now they were stealing the White House away from them so that they could complete their dastardly takeover.

    Had they told the truth and acted in good faith none of those people would have been there , certainly not amped up for battle as they were.

    So yes, he and all the others are absolutely categorically complicit in each and every action taken by those people.

    More than Trump he needs to purge from the party. There's a fair few blind followers hanging about.

    Yes and no.

    There are a few genuine loons - Boebert , Greene , Gohmert etc.

    But people like Cruz and Hawley couldn't care less about anything other than chasing the Power and they'll move wherever they think that is.

    If they feel the sands shifting away from Trump and his base , they'll be gone without a backward glance.

    Republican House Leader Kevin McCarthy who seemed to disavow Trump on the day of the insurrection went to Taxas on Air Force One today...

    Isn't this an entirely meaningless affair since it needs a two thirds majority to pass the Senate, the Senate is deadlocked at 50:50 after the Georgia race and the Dems will only assume control with Kamala Harris as VP after Jan 20th. A few GOP Senators may back it but not enough for 2/3's surely?

    Money is a powerful motivator. A lot of corporate donors are pulling the plug so these Republicans will do what's necessary to make sure the money keeps flowing.

    Except that's an equally crazy conspiracy theory like the Republican lie about this election.

    But Putin is probably falling about laughing, as is Xi. The US is clearly doomed.

    No conspiracy about it. Its well documented that Russian involvement swung the 2016 election in trumps favour. Its also well documented how Trump has always been reliant on Russian money to kerp his businesses afloat. And his deference to Putin is wrll documented. Probably the only other leader he hasn't insulted or threatened. Why is that? There's more evidence pointing to it than against.

    Wyoming GOP Rep. Liz Cheney, daughter of former VP Dick Cheney, says she will vote to impeach Trump.

    My guess is McConnell neutered Trump for nearly a week, told him to play ball, keep his mouth shut and he would box off any impeachment.

    Then Trump went out and with his first opportunity, poured more petrol on the issue.

    McConnell then leaks the story to Maggie that "he hates Trump" and is glad to see the back of him.

    That gives the green light for each Senator to endorse impeachment and allows McConnell to put some space between the Reps and Trump.

    Trump then knows McConnell is serious and will resign, asking Pence for a pardon.

    He'll be the first president to be impeached twice. What a stunning record that is.

    He may be the first to be impeached twice and ultimately removed.

    If McConnell hates him, as written, he can endorse the conviction with an assurance Trump can never run again...
