Sorry for my being a little dense here, Jack.

Is the current president playing with a full deck or not? So many are saying he is not. If that is so, who (or who all) is fearful of losing their grip of the authoritarian reins?

If he is competent, MarALago, like Miami, is not that far away either. What is his risk assessment for his pride and joy?

Lastly, if the illicit drug trade is truly the bottom line, is Trump simply eliminating the competition (for a friend, of course)?

I’d like to know more about this too, Mary. He’s obviously not well. Everything else I read suggests Stephen Miller and Russ Vought are really in charge. It’s all part of Project 2025. But they realize Vance doesn’t have the following Donald has. So they’ll prop him up as long as they can.

This would give him a barely there excuse to call for the Insurrection Act and suspend voting and take over the whole government with no accountability!!! So good bye midterms and good bye voting for anything until he is dead!!!

Thank you Jack, for laying out this important piece of the regime's authoritarian strategy. I pray our Generals can/will prevent a military disaster.

Please forgive me for asking- is there simultaneously a sort of plot by autocrats to break up the world into 3 zones of influence (hemispheric defense?), wherein Putin controls Europe, Xi controls Southeastern Asia, and the US regime controls all of North and South America?

He is chumming the the water. He wants a reason to pull the trigger or set the hook. He will start a problem and then use it as an excuse to use the war power act. Epstein files will be put on hold.
