      I personally favor Trump developing CJD. It is the perfect way for someone of Trump’s caliber to depart this world.

      • CJD can be somewhat slowed, for a short time. It cannot be stopped, or cured.
      • Trump would experience a slow and painful decay until he finally dies.
      • Medical equipment that makes contact with Trump would have to be burned afterwards to prevent spread.
      • The breakdown Trump would have when he realizes how fucked he is and how there’s jack shit he can do to stop what’s coming would be beautiful.

      On the other hand, Trump might be able to help the scientific community posthumously if they acquire his CJD-riddled brain.

    • Republican voters are less likely to have a passport
    • Republican women are more likely to have changed their names at marriage

    I say, pass the SAVE act.

      Abandoning the remaining low-income and disabled Dems that are less likely to have documentation like that would be a strategically bad move. Not to mention, you currently have Fed that will happily to “Lose” your paperwork when you renew if they can correlate your face with their “Age Verification” data that identifies you as a Democrat.

      Give them an inch and they’ll take all of it.

      Edit: Typo

        That, and I’m sure they will happily expedite passport processing in the “right” areas and the “right” demographics (probably put ICE agents on it), and have no, or very delayed, processing in the “wrong” areas and for the “wrong” people.

    Intentionally so.

    Trump wants to stay in power, by any means necessary, legal, ethical or otherwise. Usually otherwise. His main motivation for this is simply his massive ego.

    Many different groups want to help him stay in power, so he can remain a useful idiot for them. Most of these groups just want the usual corruption stuff. They just want to use Trump to try and get rich. But some have more ideological goals: White supremacy, expanding the US empire and strengthening US global hegemony, neoliberalism/right wing libertarianism/anarcho capitalism, techno feudalism, White Christian nationalism, and others. Some, like China and Russia, want Trump to stay in power because they know he will continue to weaken the US, and they want to see the US weakened, if not eventually collapse (honestly, I’m fairly sympathetic to this one).

    That’s a win-win for the Nat-C types.

    The head of household (man) should be deciding the direction of the country, of course. Allowing women to vote was a huge mistake, in their view.

    If this were to actually come to pass, they’ll be creaming their jeans over this and if they didn’t already, they’ll erect shrines to Pedonald in their houses, their churches, and if no one stops them, in the town square.
