25. Unlike Spain, Italy and Germany, I think there are enough powerful people to halt the takeover.

It just takes a small, stubborn minority to do so.

I think that the Biden presidency destroyed Trump and company's plan (not Project 2025 per se) which required uninterrupted destruction and purging. And perhaps that's why the extreme denial and race against time and Epstein.

Putin is similarly on the way out, though he walked into a minefield, literally, and given the timing, I have to wonder if he wasn't tricked into it with some "leaked" bogus intelligence. But that will come out or not.

The rush to destroy, on Putin's orders, and apparently, Bib's as well, tells me that their incredible intelligence operations have THE VIDEOS. But a rush, instead of a more measured destruction, is starting (FINALLY) to get some pushback, an inflection point, causing even more insane counter-measures.

But Trump is destroyed already from within. He can't escape his crimes, no matter how he tries to deny them.

The ghost lives in him.
