The Wacko is Going to WacoThe Houston Chronicle has called out former President Donald Trump for planning his first major 2024 campaign rally in Waco, Texas, on Saturday. In an editorial on Thursday, the paper suggested the location was not so much a dog-whistle to extremists, but a “blaring air horn of a Mack 18-wheeler.” Waco is inextricably linked to the 1993 Branch Davidian siege, which has sparked yearslong anti-government conspiracy theories. Waco has become a symbol, “an Alamo of sorts, a shrine for the Proud Boys, the Three Percenters, the Oath Keepers and other anti-government extremists and conspiracists,” the editorial said. “Militia members and conspiracists know exactly what Trump’s Waco visit symbolizes,” the paper continued, noting that Trump’s campaign insists his visit during the 30th anniversary of the siege is “purely coincidental.” The editorial listed multiple reasons why people should visit Waco, but not because of Trump. “Don’t bother with a bombastic, bullying candidate inclined to incitement and bent on ‘retribution,’” it said. “His appearance is ample reason to stay home.” Trump is well into his own "end times". His actions and words scream guilty on all counts. He's being ground down by the slow-moving wheels of justice and that alone must infuriate him. I just love seeing him twist in the wind. I don't know if he'll be felled by a knock-out punch, but he is being beaten down by the repeated body blows inflicted by numerous legal proceedings. And will he take the Republican Party down with him?

And will he take the Republican Party down with him? Actually his popularity numbers are up and he's got a huge lead for the nomination from repub voters. I also think an indictment from NY would be a huge mistake. It will boost his ratings, keep his name in the press, and will not result in a conviction. A GA indictment would be a lot more serious, but I don't expect to see that either. He will be a real threat in 2024. Personally, I hope the bloated blimp just drops dead from a heart attack.

Polls might not mean much this easly, but a couple of recent ones show Trump beating Biden by 4% to 9%. And his extreme followers are capable fo more violence. He still remains a real threat to the US. Polls
