I find it odd that we have two presidents. One duly elected and who works within the law and constitution

And the other who isn’t elected but controls the 2nd largest political party, the party in charge of the House of Representatives, the most watched news, and the Supreme Court

Republicans refer to him as President and so does everyone on Fox. And they do so in reverence and with a “finger” to the elected president

He picked the speaker of the house. And they cannot do anything without his permission.

He killed the border bill THEY negotiated.

He fired Mitch Romney’s niece Ronna Romney from the RNC.

Every city he visits he has photo ops with local police and sheriffs.

Read that again.

He sent truckers to the border-the tiny size didn’t matter as much as it does that they and many others jump when he says so.

Just like Jan 6th they’re still “standing by”

And as always major media like the New York Times, CNN, MSNBC, Sinclair and others defer to him, his views, and push his propaganda as truth and as the standard.

We are operating with two presidents.

I’m not certain which one is more powerful.

Both have foreign alliances.

And he and his team and acolytes are actively visiting Putin, undermining the war in Ukraine-expressly against official government policies, calling for domestic murder, and trying to harm the economy.

How can this be allowed for all these years?

Folk talking about a future/upcoming “civil war” without recognizing that is what happened when he cheated to win in 2016 then cheated to try to stay in power in 2020

He didn’t go away, he just formed his own government

And republicans have funded it.. with billions of dollars

I don’t know where we’re headed but I do know where we are: in a precarious state of our own creation that will be worse if we don’t deal with the clear and present danger that is named Citizen Donald Trump.

You are spot on in your assessment. It's discouraging and frightening the grip he has on his cult followers and on members of Congress.

A vitally important thread. Politics is not supposed to be a zero-sum game. The three pillars of governance are supposed to hammer out compromises and move on to the next issue. BLOAT, or president #2 has ruined our processes.

Myron, this is well thought out. Dead on the “money.” We are headed for something, if RepubliCons in Congress, decide they won’t honor a Biden victory in 2024. I fear this could happen if TrDump is not on trial for 1/6.

Whew! This thread is so deep. It’s not that I didn’t know it, and see it happening, it is just the way you linked it all together and painted the full picture. Can’t duck and hide and pretend not to see it. (Sigh) Gonna have quite a few sleepless nights, again, until November. VOTE!!!

🎯 You nailed it. Through extreme gerrymandering, voter suppression and unchecked abuse of power, Republicans have managed to forge a pseudo-government/5th column within the U.S. It appears their plans (for now) are a “soft secession” in broad daylight, until they gain control of all 3 branches.

But this is online with a nation that allowed dead, white, rich men to be able to influence beyond the grave. Electoral college, tax collections, draft boards, “tort” reforms. It all adds and points to the system that came from an imagination that decreed freedom but simultaneously enslaved!

The second guy you speak of? He aspires to be Francisco Franco but he looks more and more likely to fall below the standards of Benito Mussolini.

He wouldn't be the first Pretender to the Throne. They've all had their supporters.
