Ultra stupid is ultra maga, cruelty is the point. Trump will pick a codefendant as running mate (Flynn?), someone whose fate is tied to his and who will pardon him for sure if he is disqualified and his VP pick takes his place on the ballot.

Peter Thiel says Trump administration was ‘crazier’ and ‘more dangerous’ than he expected
Tech billionaire Peter Thiel, who previously supported former President Trump, said the Trump administration was “crazier” and “more dangerous” than he expected, in a recent interview.
Thiel, the billionaire venture capitalist who co-founded PayPal, has been a vocal supporter and financial advocate for Trump. In an interview with The Atlantic published Thursday, Thiel said he is not giving money to the former president — or any other candidate — in the 2024 presidential campaign.
“Voting for Trump was like a not very articulate scream for help,” he said.
Thiel told The Atlantic that he had hoped Trump’s election would force a national reckoning, that someone needed to tear things down before the country could rebuild.
“There are a lot of things I got wrong,” he said.
“It was crazier than I thought. It was more dangerous than I thought,” Thiel continued. “They couldn’t get the most basic pieces of the government to work. So that was — I think that part was maybe worse than even my low expectations.”
The profile in The Atlantic outlined Thiel’s business ventures and hopes for a different society. He now runs Palantir, a secretive data analytics company.
In 2018, Thiel said Trump’s first year in office did not live up to his expectations, but Trump was “still better than Hillary Clinton or the Republican zombies.” Thiel reportedly stepped away from Trump’s campaign in the months before he lost to President Biden in 2020.
Despite his disappointment that Trump did not usher in a revolution, Thiel said he still wouldn’t call himself a “Never Trumper.”
The CEO said he doesn’t believe the 2020 election was stolen from Trump, and he said the former president’s attempts to overturn the results were “not helpful.”
Thiel has a mixed record in his political career, having funded the successful Trump-backed campaign of Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio), but also the failed Arizona Senate run of Blake Masters.

"The CEO said he doesn’t believe the 2020 election was stolen from Trump, and he said the former president’s attempts to overturn the results were “not helpful.”"
I think it's not a matter of not understanding. He sees Trump's attempt to disenfranchise those who voted him out office as "unhelpful", not an act against our democracy and does not believe attempting to overturn the results as a hard bright line that should never be crossed. So, I understand. We see you Mr. Thiel.

Why are Republicans still supporting Donald Trump? | Anywhere But Washington
Despite facing multiple criminal charges, Donald Trump remains the frontrunner in the 2024 Republican presidential primary. But in South Carolina, a traditionally conservative southern state, a split is opening up between Trump loyalists and more moderate Republicans who are fearful of what their party has become.

If SCOTUS as a body does not recuse, they’ll be in a real fix: their entire allegiance *IS* to the overthrow - that is, to the billionaire-derived, -guided, -funded effort to “drive the USA into ‘receivership’ “, with the billionaires being the receivers - & the rest of us extraneous ex-employees / future indentured servants
it’s simply true that a candidate for nomination for national office is not IN ‘an office’ of any kind, the end. THAT question has no meaning within the scope / language of the 14th. An election could be held and won, even, and yet “disqualification” MEANS SOMETHING: the election would not be voided. Voting for a disqualified candidate is a legitimate, if stupid & self-defeating choice. If the ‘winner’ is disqualified by the Constitution, then they will not be allowed to ‘serve’. ‘Disqualified’ means the next-highest vote-getter gets the job & the disqualified is “not appearing in this film”

‘Here we are again’: Why the GOP is exactly where it was before ousting McCarthy
“After 21 days of a speaker-less House, this backbencher with no experience is in charge. And yet nothing has changed at all. They are in exactly the same position they were back with McCarthy in September,” says Chris Hayes, as the deadline to fund the government looms.
MAGA Mike Johnson believes ‘Bible comes first over the Constitution,’ says Raskin
Rep. Jamie Raskin joins Chris Hayes to discuss the Republican dysfunction nudging the government closer to a shutdown, the inexperienced and extreme GOP speaker Mike Johnson, and more.

Unfortunately, with maga Mike running the house it looks like another government shutdown, again, as these clowns can't keep the lights on.
It is hard to see how a semi fascist cult of personality that is internally divided over so many issues and who are polling so badly on key political issues like guns and abortion are none the less doing well at the polls, even though they recently lost a string of elections. The base controlling the party has solidified and is increasingly out of touch with the majority in America and will be more so with demographic and generational change. They are already a desperate minority and know it, which is why they condone cheating, lying and stealing while choosing to ignore unpleasant facts. Those facts are presented by Trump daily where he openly admits to attempting to overthrow the constitution and promises to try again with a literal vengeance. To support this man and party is fascism plain and simple, Trump and the republican party have become domestic enemies of the US constitution by their words and actions. This is not just my personal opinion, but I see it daily from respected American political pundits and legal experts and have posted much of it.
2024 again comes down to a struggle for liberal democracy and the "soul of the nation" as Biden terms it and will continue to do so for as long as Trump if running around loose and the GOP controls any of the levers of federal power. The conservative Justices appear to be conservatives, federalist society members with a couple of corrupt actors among them who should be impeached, the majority of the court right or left is not antidemocratic and knows about the dangers of fascism.

“You’re Telling Me That Thing Is Forged?”: The Inside Story of How Trump’s “Body Guy” Tried and Failed to Order a Massive Military Withdrawal
In an excerpt from his new book, Tired of Winning, Jonathan Karl reveals how officials were stunned when a presidential directive pulling troops out of Afghanistan and Somalia landed on their desk. Of course, they’d later learn that it wasn’t exactly Trump’s idea.
