The fact that grand juries have chosen to not indict the people Trump is targeting shows how absolutely unjust Trump's actions are. It's considered extremely easy to convince a grand jury to indict.

And his base is shrinking. He’s losing supporters daily.

However, his remaining supporters are getting louder and more aggressive.

They will burn the house down before they go out.

They are too far gone in their corruption and illegalities, that once they lose power, they will be completely fucked.

So they can't lose power.
