Mitch McConnell knows Trump provoked the violent attack on our Capitol and then “watched television happily” as his mob brutally beat police officers and hunted the Vice President. He knows Trump refused for hours to tell his mob to leave and “even then with police officers bleeding…he kept repeating his election lies and praising the criminals.” He knows Trump committed a “disgraceful dereliction of duty” and is a danger to our Republic. Trump and his collaborators will be defeated, and history will remember the shame of people like @LeaderMcConnell who enabled them.

BREAKING: Donald Trump's former National Security Advisor John Bolton publicly humiliates his former boss by revealing that Trump is considered a "laughing fool" by world leaders.

This is the last thing in the world that Trump's flailing presidential campaign needs...

During an appearance on CNN's “The Source with Kaitlin Collins," Bolton ripped into Trump in the bluntest of fashions.

"I think they think — Xi Jinping, and Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong Un, and others — they think he’s a laughing fool," said Bolton. "And they’re fully prepared to take advantage of him. Trump’s self-absorption makes it impossible for him to understand that."

"Well, I think the hard men of history like Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping, understand what their job is for their respective country," he went on. "I don’t think Trump understands what the job of the presidency is for ours."

"And I will say, having been in the room with him, in meeting those people, having listened in, on his phone conversations, I don’t think they are really friendly with Donald Trump," he added.

Bolton also said that America's adversaries will be thrilled if Trump retakes the White House because he's an "easy mark."

"When you’re in a crisis, you need a president who is resolute, who can keep his eyes on the prize and worry about our national security, not his own image," said Bolton.

I knew Iowa was going to be a bloodbath when I learned DeSantis had more campaign appearances than Haley and TFG combined. Turns out you have to be somewhat personable to do well in politics & the more you see of that uncharismatic dolt, the less likable he is.

This sums it up well, I think.

Should the 2025 meeting of the southern historical association be held in a sanctioned state ?

2. As you might expect, I thought about some of my favorite NC biographies & political histories, including @oldpolhack's the Paradox of NC Politics, @Lankwa's Righteous Warrior & @HistorySummey's the Life of Elretha Melton Alexander (just finished it; it was fresh on my mind)
