The LawDork blog looks at some of the Necrotic Toddler’s recent defeats: Kilmar Abrego Garcia has been released from ICE custody, grand juries keep refusing to approve bullshit indictments, and the Indiana legislature ultimately refused to support a Toddler-backed redistricting effort (the Repub. Governor is Not Happy).
That doesn’t mean it’s over or that the country won’t suffer lots more damage before the Toddler Administration and his party of toadies goes down (if that should come to pass). They will get increasingly unhinged and talk increasingly tough, like Border Patrol chief Gregory Bovino talking about how much he’d like to handcuff Rep. Ihlan Omar.
But every defeat shows Republicans are not unstoppable and that encourages more people to stand up and be counted. Like my title says, slow erosion is not as effective as a silver bullet but it’s harder to stop. The Felon and his party beat back impeachment; multiple people saying “No!” takes more effort to squash.
The Felon, despite having pushed hard in Indiana, is now lying that he didn’t push for it. Nope, not his fault. House Speaker Mike Johnson parrots the same lie. The Felon is also freaking out that given his (non-existent) awesomeness, he should be the most popular president ever so how can his polls be so bad? Not to mention he thinks it’s treason to ask questions about his health.
And Colorado has reminded the Felon he can’t pardon people convicted in state courts, even if they are his supporters. And another Felon loyalist appointed as an “acting US attorney” has had to step down.
There’s a long road ahead but perhaps we’ve started on it.
