Trump will know it is over when he gets the thumbs-down from Putin

That's the signal we should be watching for.

Putin knows that he will be dealing with a Biden administration soon; the sooner he starts trying to build up that relationship, the better for him. He got plenty from Trump, and now it's time to dump him and move on. He won't allow being seen backing a loser.

I wonder what public form his thumbs-down on Trump will take. It's got to be a very public, very obvious gesture. What will it look like?

I've been saying that for a year now. Putin will humiliate him when he is done with him.

Trump will have ZERO value very soon, to anyone.

Putin is unlikely to offer Trump sanctuary in Russia unless they are putting a new circus together.

day before.

He is working on hacking voting machines like he did in 2016 (no way traitor won all of those states)...

GOP is going to stop voting by mail where they can...GOP states will refuse to certify their election results if it becomes clear
traitor will lose and so will other cons, which kicks in 12 amendment...which is the end of our country and maybe the human race.

I keep saying these things in HOPES that someone in power on our side is prepared for all this?

Trump to allege voter fraud, etc., to prolong the chaos and kneecap President Biden if at all possible. Rather than directly humiliating Trump, he may find it in his own best interest to present a sympathetic face and milk this corrupt administrstion for everything he can, for as long as he can. He loves seeing how divided we are as a country under this heel.

... of this shit show. He’s not going to pull the plug on any of it. He will encourage Тяцмр to wreak as much havoc as he can - unwittingly, of course because that’s what his asset requires. This could not be going better for Putin and Russia. Other than Тяцмр accidentally detonating a nuke in DC, I can’t think of a single thing Poot could possibly hope for.

Trump knows he can't win without Putin's help, Putin knows this too. And now the whole world knows he has to do something Putin won't like or be seen as the traitor he is.
