There is a more striking theory posited by a freeper.
First of all..dems dont back down...even In The face of facts. History shows this
So now watch to see for signs a deal was struck
If those that have been railing against trump on all sides are now backing down from the fierce attacks.....a deal was struck
Oh..and that likely isnt a good thing. But we will see.
The deal was signaled loud and clear when the twin neos Insane & Linda voted to remove the filibuster. Now we have Gorsuch confirmed, and a real likelihood of not having just another, but two more conservative SC justices during Trump's first administration.
(Yeah, first. Now that he's willing to do the Deep state's bidding with respect to foreign policy, he's practically a shoe-in for a 2nd term. Imagine the composition of the SC after 8 years of Trump.)
Now, wouldn't you agree that's a pretty good deal? Who here will be surprised that the wall is funded, ICE round-ups expand, the SC upholds presidential authority on travel restrictions, etc?
The hardest life lesson to learn is to realize you don't count. You don't have a voice, you don't have a say. Oh, it may seem that way (because that's the way the game is rigged), but in the end, even a guy like Trump had to concede to reality. He can talk big and bluster his way into the office, but the people who control the game were just waiting for a chance to yank his chain.
Look, I don't blame him. He saw what was happening with the MSM, he knew evidence could be fabricated for impeachment. In that regard, he's pretty bright - it only took him 2-3 months to fully realize the situation. So, he made a smart move - let the empire continue to pursue global war, and he could have his domestic agenda on a platter.
In the end, we win domestically, which is really what effects most people.
