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!

They know he's disintegrating, and likely only has a few months before he's rendered incapable of functioning. The contractor was a political crony of Trump's who has little to no influence within the Project 2025 framework, and the blatant injustice of the trial was eroding confidence in the DOJ - which Project 2025 needs to push it's agenda.
Pirro will take Trump's heat for a bit until he forgets about it, and then proceed to implement the rest of Project 2025's goals like a good little soldier. The contractor was an easy sacrifice, and Trump cares more about the public embarrassment than bailing out a crony who made him look a fool on the national stage.
Trump's loyalists aren't turning on him. They're waiting out his dementia while they implement the Project 2025 agenda, and making sure he doesn't completely torch the place before the new boss has a chance to take over.
You say that like his dimentia is new. He's been deranged for at least a decade.
I didn't mean to imply that the dementia is new, it's just too evident to hide to even the most dedicated of his followers at this point, and this particular case made it very apparent. The Project 2025 bigwigs just want to get the case out of the news cycle because there's no positive way to spin it, and the more attention Trump gives it, the more damage it does to their plans.
Once its out of the news cycle, he'll forget about it, unless they need another distraction from the Epstein files and decide to remind him.
Kinda like global warming
Been going on for decades, but got really obvious in the last 2 years
