      I get where prez’s head is at, he is losing it as we speak, falling asleep during televised meetings, reading off of teleprompters as often as not. But everybody else going along with the supreme leader mold is just quite mistaken as to how that will work out for them. I suspect the end result will be a Joseph stalinesque results. Not a single person in leadership will be alive as Supreme leaders tend to get paranoid as shit.

        Stalin was a man of steel who surrounded himself with tough guys like Felix Dzerzhinsky and Lavrentiy Beria.

        Trump’s cohort will crack like bamboo when he passes and they have to stand on their own.

        Can you actually imagine JD Vance lasting eleven hours under interrogation? Hilary did it without having a hair out of place.

          Vance will not end up with supreme leader. He will be shunted aside one way or the other I think. That he would not make a good supreme leader is why he was chosen by the president in fact.

          The succession fight will be ugly and perhaps our last chance to take the country back before the fix is in too deep. Even then we would need to win by a large margin and have a muscular campaign.

            Hitler had one Minister of Propaganda and a thousand hardcore road captains.

            Trump has a thousand propagandists and no one next to him who could actually make a fist.

              They do not have a shortage of people wanting to fill those spots. Yes they’re incompetence has prevented them from succeeding as of yet, but that was last term, everyone gave up in any position in the establishment this time.

              They’re going for a full court Hitler press.
