So what is the Republican endgame?

[OAITW r.2.0]

And who is calling the shots, Trump or Putin?

1. For some: all the money. For others: Armageddon.

[Shermann]

2. Trump is playing checkers

...CV-19 is playing tri-dimensional chess.

[Jarqui]

3. GOP power brokers are calling the shots. They want to retain power.

Trump is a major distraction like a bad accident on the side of the road.

4. Endless Power

They know that demographically in the US, they are on their way out, so they lie cheat steal to keep power.

I think Putin is in charge. Trump just thinks he is.

7. Seems everything Trump does, helps Putin's international power.

Split/Divide the USA/EU, USA/China, USA/Mexico, USA/Canada. And Republicans are all in on this and - now - Trump's War against the American people.

5. To win at all costs

Impose a "Christian" theocracy and create a white supremacist society...

The Koch brothers are calling the shot. Putin is a distraction and trump is just a useful idiot.

It has been going on since Gingrich in 94.

It's like a porn movie....locations and actors may change but the plot's still the same.

6. One party rule...nt

[CanonRay]

8. Power. Money. Control

and for some, the Rapture
