(5,940 posts)Not unless some of them might benefit him personally - perhaps by finding in his favor in a case.
No, those 200 judges were Trump's favor to McConnell, and not vice versa. They were Trump's payment to the right wing for enhancing his power, wealth, and prestige.

(7,432 posts)Trump is challenging his worshippers in the Senate to clash with McConnell.
So... Trump is going for broke. He wants those Senators in his pocket.
This is purely a manipulation. There is no policy clash, no ideological argument. It's just Bully Time.

(12,392 posts)I think Mitch is far more clever and powerful than the clown king. I think he is just right now considering the best way to burn him down. It might be epic since Mitch already knows that the party is destroyed.

(8,084 posts)I wonder who's gonna be a bigger ass kisser yes sir Ted Cruz who Donald Trump called his wife ugly or Mitch mcconnell who Donald Trump is now called his wife crazy
50 bucks both of these men will be fighting to lick the crack of Donald Trump's Orange mess mess on Live TV and the next 3 months
Maybe Mitch mcconnell can call up Will Smith and see if he'll pop by marlago for a quick visit

(182,826 posts)He knows what hes doing. Unfortunately he does things other than just screwing over Trump.
Mitch has always known and hes smart.
Much overlooked- another stimulus check right before the election was a once in a lifetime political opportunity. Mitch talked Trump out of it from what Ive read.

(1,350 posts)So his shitty site just copied Twitter's look, using red instead of blue?
keep_left
(1,783 posts)It's a hell of a lot easier than suing over actual trademark or patent infringement. As far as I can tell, Truth Social copied the entire look and feel of Twitter and then just changed a couple of colors. There was a famous "trade dress" suit recently (Roland vs. Behringer) which came out very badly for the infringer (Behringer).
I'm surprised Twitter hasn't gone after Truth Social yet. Maybe they're just hoping it blows over. It's not very popular even with the MAGA chuds. It didn't help that Truth Social couldn't get their site working properly for months, even after it was revealed that they just stole a bunch of open-source code (Mastodon) and didn't contribute back their changes (violating the terms of the license).

(86,646 posts)He won't defend her.
I find it interesting that the two Cabinet members who resigned on J6 were the two women. Not that they have any credibility as human beings or anything, but they did resign for show if nothing else.

(5,499 posts)There is a war within the GOP right now. Trump Facisist are trying to completely take it over. If they succeed, they'll move on to trying to either take over or permanently split the nation.
It would be ironic if an extreme right SC woke the country up as they've seemed to have done.

(8,964 posts)Let's see, who else might qualify as a broken-down hack politician?
Who bears responsibility for GOP narrowly losing two "safe" GOP Senate seats in Georgia?
And given those losses, who might answer as to why Mitch goes by the title MINORITY leader?
Who best describes what an affront to honor and leadership looks like?
Who appointed Mitch's crazy wife as a cabinet member?
Who proclaimed "America First" while marketing branded items made in China?
No love lost here for poor old Mitch, but it appears that TFG just unloaded a lot of his own personal baggage on the guy.

(15,222 posts)The Snake.
Songwriter: Oscar Brown, Jr.
On her way to work one morning on a ridge along side a lake
A tender-hearted woman saw a poor half frozen snake
Its pretty colored skin had been all frosted with the dew
"Poor thing!" she cried. "I'll take you in and I'll take care of you."
(Chorus)
Take me in oh tender woman, take me in for heaven's sake
Take me in tender woman......sssssssighed the snake
She wrapped him up all cozy, in a coveture of silk
And laid him by the fireside with some honey and some milk
She hurried home from work that day and soon as she arrived
She found that snake she'd taken in so soon had been revived
(Chorus)
............................she kissed and held him tight
but instead of saying thanks that snake gave her a vicious bite
"You bit me!" cried the woman...."and there ain't no reason why!
You know you're far too poisonous and now I'm gonna die!"
"Oh shut up, silly woman...." said that reptile with a grin
"You knew damn well I was a snake before you took me in"
