...the Trump/Epstein stuff is giving everyone sick of him on the republican side a reason to line up against him.
It's not big yet, but I can see movement, like the Epatein vote maga Mike set for as early as next week, and reports of other republicans not already signed onto the discharge petition ready to vote for the release of the files.
I see where they're trying to send Trump on the road for a month or so, probably so Vance can get a feel for the presidental levers and controls at the WH.
I put together a lame collection of Vance stuff to kick it off.

(48,591 posts)Traitors waiting behind every curtain. Backstabbers eager to caesar him. He can practically hear Vance drooling at the prospect of replacing him. Tick tick MFer.
Trump isn't going anywhere.
He will be president until he gets tired of being president... or dies.
Nobody on our side can do anything about it and EVERYBODY on their side supports him 100%.
He is what they have been waiting for all their lives. They cheer his immorality and dream of following in his footsteps..
This is why anyone that voted repuglican in the last election is repulsive to me. I don't even care if they are family. I can't associate with people of such evil choices.
Vance later wrote in part: As bad as the emails released today are, there is more. The FBIs investigative files have not been released. The Trump White House is still doing everything it can to prevent their release. People like [FBI Director] Kash Patel, who called for their release, and Donald Trump, who promised it during the campaign, have gone mum. Draw your own conclusion.
Trump has survived other moments like this, where he turned his glaring racism and misogyny into bonus points with his base. But he may not outlast the Epstein Files controversy, Joyce Vance concluded in her post.

(51,526 posts)until the past week or so. I think we are finally watching the beginning of the end. There's no way he can survive this, plus his health is declining rapidly.
His congressional sycophants are starting to pull away and the cult mindset is cracking. Once a few of them break from Trump, more will follow because after all they ARE followers by nature.
They don't like him, they've never liked him, and probably have been praying he would go away.

(93,257 posts)...there's nothing historically, legally, constitutionally, or politically in the way of Vance just calling for Trump to resign tomorrow, declaring Trump unfit for the presidency and making the case that's what he's there for.
Vance has the connections in Congress.
Everyone look out.
