Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

MODERATORS
At this point, the rest of the GOP is hoping for this. They're sycophants who probably to a person don't believe in Trump or MAGA at all, but each secretly thinks they're the smart one who will win the game of thrones and be positioned to either manipulate Trump for their ends, take the crown, or both.
Vance, Noem, Haley, Murdoch... the list goes on, but they have all tested and repeatedly compromised every limit they have, thinking "ok, sure, he's a dementia-addled toddler, but this is how I win and I am the smartest person." They want to put the crown on their own head before Trump's body is cold.
Being un-self-reflective narcissists themselves, they don't realize that Trump is the one entirely using them, this is narcissistic sociopathic limit-pushing 101, they are not original or special freethinkers but exactly the opposite, and their compliance weakens them.
I think you're right but I also think that Heritage and the other rightwing think-creeps area really scared of losing Trump because he gives them a lot of cover with his antics distracting the base and the opposition. If he disappears they suddenly have Vance and a shitshow of unlikable uncharismatic bootlickers because Trump ruined the party and forced out anyone with even a shred of political promise.
