Had some local MAGAts "turn" their thoughts today. [View all]

Usually, these guys have been ummm... pro "the orange one".

They guffawed and laughed when Dumpy took on Biden in that debate months ago.

They were silent and didn't say anything when Kamala tore him a "new one" in their debate.

They haven't said anything since. One of them joked though that his dog and cat were fine

Now, this morning, one of them blasted Putin and said he was dangerous and needed to be "taken out". The others kept quiet but nodded their agreement.

I was kind of shocked. These were older white males, in their 60s. Some of them retired military.


I finally said "I'm not sure the guy will last past 2025, especially if Kamala wins in November." His backers may then consider him a bad financial risk and feel it is cheaper for them to have him umm.. "removed" then stay in there.

Especially now that Ukraine is looking like the 1980s version of Afghanistan. They may feel like spending another decade where they aren't wanted will cost too much and tell him to get up and leave. If he refuses, they will make sure he 'accidentally' falls out of a window.

One of them said "Gotta be careful and mindful of that Russian mafia, man. They can put a big hurt on you, and more, if you let them."
