Trump's apparent efforts to lay the groundwork for January 6th Committee prosecution via his outlandish "Auto-Pen" pardon loophole are leading me to wonder ... who's going down first?

Will it be a member of the crooked media? Maybe a late-night TV host who cracks one joke too many at the president's expense? Maybe an investigative journalist who digs up the one piece of dirt that could end the administration?

Or maybe a Democratic politician whose anti-MAGA stance becomes a little too popular? Perhaps an economist who's able to convince the base that tariffs really will endanger their jobs?

And once the target is established, how will it actually happen? Will the offender(s) just disappear into the inky-black night leaving no trace? Or will there be a lengthy show trial replete with manufactured charges and evidence, coerced confessions and ultimately, exile to Guantanamo or El Salvadore?

What do you guys think? Who's it gonna be, and how will the deal go down?

This is a plausible scenario. I can see Musk's Brownshirts frog-marching Justices Sotomayor, Jackson and Kagan (and possibly Roberts ,who apparently won't stay bought) onto a waiting C-130 transport bound for a dank prison in a sweaty climate.

I am more concerned about an escalation of Islamic terrorism after the knee capping of Iran, Hamas, Hezbollah and Houthi. The US fingerprints are everywhere.

Noogs, this is just my own perception from the events since the Felon47's inauguration.

He came out of the gate with some shock and awe of his own, aka chaos.

1. Deportations.

2. DOGE directed Federal workforce reduction.

3. Indiscriminate deposing of department heads and replacing them with his cronies.

4. Tariffs, tariffs and then some more tariffs.

Of the above, he has failed drastically in deportations and Federal workforce reduction due to the various lawsuits that have been filed. Federal judges have paused many of his edicts and they will have to make their way up to the Supreme court.

He has effectively managed to appoint his people to all top positions and will collectively have a very compliant administration, except they cannot nor are they interested in administering this country. As for tariffs, even Fed chair Powell commented today that he cannot predict what the tariffs will do to our inflation or the economy in general.

With as much upheaval going on in and around Washington DC, I do not expect Trump or his bootlickers any Putinesque strong arming or facials of their political enemies, not yet anyway.

But if they can scare Shumer into retirement, I am all for it. But chances are that Trump will bestow on him "Wimp of The Year" award.

My vote is for Jimmy Kimmel. I understand that the Orange Shart hate watches his monologue before he starts screeching on Xhitter after midnight. (grin)

I was thinking the same thing as I watched Jimmy last night. Hope it ain't so.
