It’s a little like when the guy getting kicked out of the bar starts yelling about this bar sucker. Sure buddy, okay…

    He’s counting on the senate majority leader not bringing it up for a vote. Likely because Thune has been bribed or threatened behind the scenes.

    Nah. He just realized that he can veto it, and it would take a hell of backbone for enough MAGA to stand up and overturn it.

      Trump doesn’t realize anything any longer. His dementia is so far off the cliff he’s incapable of reason and planning, only able to react in the moment.

      As to the veto, my money says there are so many GOP defectors as to be veto proof. Those rats are bailing off this sinking ship. They know just how damning these files are and they want to get ahead of the game, “I was all for releasing the evidence!” Can you imagine what primary contenders would do to those fuckers if they vote no?! 😂

      Combine that foresight with Trump’s obvious dementia. They know he’s a cult leader and the end is near. Voting to release the files is the only way Republicans break free of this insanity.

    He’s still on bargaining.

    He’s saying they should release “the files” and they probably will, just like they already have 3-5 times. And they’ll keep saying that it’s everything when it’s the same thing.
