I have to admit to some confusion reading today's excellent Morning Shots. Here's where I got lost:
"Trump hasn’t so far seemed to pay any political price for the fact that he’s at odds with the majority of the American people—and with many Republicans—on the questions of supporting Ukraine, opposing Putin, and valuing NATO."

There is no policy where Trump is in agreement with the American people. That is the whole point of the exercise: to use the Electoral College and the Supreme Court to force us into government we don't want. That's the whole enchilada.
- The majority of Americans support abortion rights
- The majority of Americans are against lowering taxes on the wealthy
- The majority of Americans support NATO and Ukraine
- The majority of Americans think Trump is a corrupt criminal
- The majority of Americans are against book bans and killing protestors like Heather Heyer
- The majority of Americans do not support the death penalty without trials
- The majority of Americans support the Emoluments Clause
- The majority of Americans are against Qualified Immunity for the police
- The majority of Americans support the separation of church and state and are horrified by GOP legislatures speaking in tongues during sessions
- The majority of Americans vote against all this nonsense every chance we have but for some reason, we keep being ignored.
Do I need to keep going? I could. There is NO POSITION in which MAGA agrees with the majority. None whatsoever. That's why they are turning to violence. We should be clear on this point.
That is the agenda of the GOP for the past 40+ years. It's why they made the deal with trump when he got elected -- they look the other way on his grifting, racism, et al and they get what they want.
Slowly and surely Trumpster is paying a price.Two months ago,Biden was in pretty dire straights.Biden is now slightly ahead in some polls and even in others.Then consider voters more or less start paying more attention in the summer. Could there be violence the closer we get to the election?It's quite possible.
I have to wonder when one of the four judges TFG is facing is going to confiscate his passport. TFG has already moved from NYC to FL when his legal troubles got too heated. I suspect that he will leave the country when his legal troubles with the United States Government get too heated. He is weak. But I’m not sure where he will go. None of his authoritarian “friends” will no longer have any need for him.

Sadly, the majority does not necessarily decide who wins elections. Trump did it before and he could do it again, majority be damned.
I really, really like this. I am going to use this. Thank you Kate!
Excellent point.
Kate Fall- you are so right!

I think he feels he can beat all his legal problems.He probably also feels he should testify.God I hope he does!
Great point about Trump's friends, IF he loses.
Bravo
I forgot sensible gun laws but as I said, I could keep going forever. This is a list that never ends.
Well done anyway!
