Why does a TRAITOR get whatever he wants?

From wars for no reason and grifting all he can grab to launder offshore, to escaping Justice for Insurrection and stealing Top Secrets, no one dares stop the no-good rat bastard Donald J Trump.

He’s no king. He’s our employee. While way past the time to start acting like it, now is better late than never.

We the People need to fire him.

They are so afraid of losing their MAGAt base that they will instead lose the whole enchilada.

Like Orwell wrote in 1984

“The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake. We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power... Power is not a means; it is an end.”

Our recourse is to vote in representation that will actually dethrone the wanna be king.

Which I find odd, considering all he is known to have done in his first term.

I wonder if there’s a glitch in the election system or if the rhetorical failure is a matter of political malpractice?

Trump would be nowhere without the sycophantic GOP who are using him to consolidate their own little fiefdoms and grift money.

MAGAts are doing all they can to rewrite the law, overthrow precedent and invent history to cement their seemingly overwhelming minority.
