So we are in Klaipeda, Lithuania. They have small sculptures of a cat and a mouse.

If you touch them and whisper a wish, it wiill come true. Expect to see Trump's obituary in the next few days. Mrs. Canon has a lot of power.

he won't have Trump's cult following. He has the charisma of cold oatmeal; he's just as mean as Trump but without his show biz flair and talent for getting other people to punch down with him. He won't be the iron-fisted leader of the GOP who can control votes with a phone call. Instead, there will be a power struggle; without Trump the GOP has no leader, and a whole bunch of sorry little pissants like Mike Johnson and Ted Cruz will be fighting for that title like scorpions in a jar. I expect a GOP schism - the Christofascist culture warriors vs. the libertarian techbro greedheads. Vance will try for both factions but neither will want him.
