OH SWEET JESUS NO, DON'T SAY THAT! MAGAt Moses Mikey says November could bring the "end of Trump's presidency"

"If we lost the midterms — heaven forbid, if we lost the majority in the House — it would be the end of the Trump presidency in a real effect."

This comes as polling indicates clearly that Republicans are bleeding voters ahead of the midterms, and as Trump puts forward policy plans that Republicans privately fear could blow up in their faces with weeks to go before the vote.

It also comes as Trump has worked to interfere in state election administration, including a push for Republicans to redraw congressional districts to give their party extra seats, demands for voting data around the country, and a raid on election offices in Fulton County, Georgia seemingly based on ongoing conspiracy theories about the 2020 election results.

Johnson, for his part, has been left in a weak position, according to political analysts, as Trump has vowed to carry out much of his agenda without even asking the House GOP caucus for legislation backing it up.

In his mind, there’s no point to being president if they’re gonna have oversight on all his graft

I know that elected Democrats are gonna do what they're gonna do, but MY WISH is that WHEN THEY ARE SWORN IN ON JANUARY 3, 2027, THEY INTRODUCE ARTICLES OF IMPEACHMENT THAT DAY.

I'm not kidding. I wouldn't wait. I'd pounce on it like a fucking pit bull on a pork chop. I'd make EVERY SINGLE DAY of his remaining reign of terror an INTOLERABLE HELL ON EARTH.

EVERY...DAY.

Pretty sure they already have “drawer pardons”.

But it’d be great if we could find some fed or state charges to get them into court.

Have hearings, subponea EVERYONE, and then in 30 days just smash his WH with like 200 articles of impeachment at once...just unleash the squall on his ass.

100% he just keeps doing what is already doing, pretty much wtf he wants despite what little pushback he faces.

And, there is MUCH better odds he makes a run at staying in office when his term comes up than ever volunteering leaving it.

He and Congressional MAGAs will pull out all the stops to rig the midterms, from ID requirements to banning mail in ballots.

He will station ICE or militias or National Guard or all 3 at polls.

He will send in thugs to grab voting machine data and mail in ballots (if they are not banned) and claim to find fraud.

Mikey will refuse to swear in any Dems who do manage to get elected to the House.

Or, seeing the likelihood of Dem wins in both houses, he will just cancel the elections.

We saw what he did on J6. Anything is possible, but he will fight to the death to prevent a Dem Congress.

Unless...If his financial political backers and handlers decide that he is of no further use, they will find a way to pull him out of office and install Vance.

...through resignation, natural death or Trump committing seppuku in the bare patch of land where the East Wing of the White House once stood, Trump losing his congressional majority will not bring the Trump Reign of Terror to an end.

He will simply rule by edict - executive orders, mostly - and the Republican minority will refuse to stop him.

Trump dying in office. If he loses power by losing at least one house the reich-wing won't be able to make a martyr out of him like they could if he passed away in office.
In fact, if the Republicans lose the House I would almost expect the reich-wing oiligarchs to put out a hit on him since a martyr would be worth so much more to them than a lame duck.
