@ArtCandee He’s all mad because they moved it inside and he couldn’t wear his mittens.

@GailSimone 2000AD was the beginning of everything for me 😁

@Brendan_Duke @mehdirhasan Some interesting statistics here.
Would be a brave political party (especially in the US) who promised to restrict the profit a company can make.
Even if it reduced prices, it would be seen (and exploited) as government overreach and branded “communism”.

@jdbarrett002 @thatjondoe @Chrisvance123 Exactly.
He is the type that if he can’t play the game anymore, he’ll smash the board up rather than let anyone play without him.
Which is why I am wondering how the GOP moves forward.

[marksully @marksully]

@thatjondoe @Chrisvance123 After the dust has settled on this election cycle, the next big political drama will be the GOP trying to untangle itself from Trump.
He’s not going to just walk away.
And I don’t see how it has a future in its current form if he stays.
Will there (could there) be a split?

[marksully @marksully]

@RonFilipkowski His Julius Caesar moment is coming (metaphorically speaking).
I don’t know how the GOP reclaim control of their party without him losing by a colossal margin.
Even if that happens he won’t leave the GOP quietly or easily.
How can it survive post-Trump in its current form?

[marksully @marksully]

@emptywheel How does the GOP become a real political party again after the last 9 years?
If they see him losing then he has to massively lose so they have some hope of getting their party back.
He’s not going to let go easily, if at all.
Is he going to have a Caesar ending?
Has to be imo.

@GovernorShapiro @thejackhopkins Please be aware of this kind of behaviour too.
I hope there are contingency plans for the tactics laid out here.

Trump's "secret plan" with Mike Johnson to steal the election is more devious than you probably think. It's not just electing Trump via the House. It's decreasing the overall number of electoral votes until Trump wins a majority.

I explain in @thenation:

@SethAbramson And the seal on the deal was Orban visiting Trump, 2 days before he announced Vance as his running mate, to give him Putins blessing.

[marksully @marksully]

@emptywheel Odd how one of those visits came just before TFG announced Vance as an (unlikely) running mate.
🤷‍♂️

@dannyearls16 Outstanding work 👍🏻

[marksully @marksully]

@AccountableGOP I think it was Kamala Harris and Tim Walz that said that.

@EdKrassen A better bet than $DJT

[marksully @marksully]

@JoJoFromJerz @RonFilipkowski Everything before a “but” can be ignored 🤬

[marksully @marksully]

@emptywheel @joncoopertweets They can’t report on it.
They have to keep an appearance of a close race right up until the last minute otherwise people won’t stay engaged and watching.
It is maddening to see the sanitized version of TFG that gets reported.

[marksully @marksully]

@joncoopertweets And those that have bankrolled him will suddenly have no use for him and will be looking to collect on the debt one way or another.
He knows the mobster life so he knows how that will go.

[marksully @marksully]

@CalltoActivism This also keeps it out of the hands of SCOTUS until after the election.
And prevents TFG from grifting and riling his followers up about it before the election.

[marksully @marksully]

@alexhallhall @BylineTimes They used his mugshot photo in that image 🤦‍♂️

[marksully @marksully]

@EdKrassen Don’t see how it can survive in its current form.
Too much division.
Trump controls the RNC, he won’t let go of that and I don’t see how they can be pushed out.
I wouldn’t be surprised if there ends up being 3 parties.
Dem, Centrist-Dems + Moderate GOP and MAGA.
