Look, in the eyes of most people, he's a jackass. But say he runs for re-election in 2024, he has no legal troubles, nothing. The primary voters in the Missouri GOP likely will keep him in, and Missouri has solidified itself as a R state. His presidential ambitions probably took a hit, but his spot in the Senate seems secure. Which sucks, but whatcha gonna do.


We can use social media to destroy his presence, he can only for town mayor or something

Hard to see him losing given how red Missouri has become.

I'm not so certain.
Obviously, he won't lose to any Dem, barring another wave year (highly unlikely).
The primary, however, is where I expect things to be interesting.
Hawley's made a lot of enemies back home. University students, the two largest newspapers, his old mentor...and somehow, I expect anyone running against him to have the blessing of some influential people on Capitol Hill.

If he survives 2024, he'll be home free.

I'll let it rest, I just see the Missouri GOP primary voters in contrast to the Missouri GOP establishment. The establishment wing there is the Blunts, Ashcroft and Danforth families, but their clout over voters is really dwindling.

Interesting state, to say the least, a lot of economically populist even liberal but ultra socially conservative voters outside of KC/St Louis that voted Dem up until 08. Hawley is their guy.

There was video of Trump and his family/friends viewing a rally with Laura Branigan- Gloria playing in the background. Its an old song, not sure how strict the copyright still is on these matters, but her management company says: "No permission to use that song, no endorsement of Trump granted past or present, on behalf of Laura or her legacy management company. No condoning of the events at the US Capitol."

Some people did try to help him. They did get him out. One wanker stole his gas mask.

Satire Twitter account springs up under Donald Trump's pseudonym after ban
Donald Trump has been banned from Twitter, but "Not Donald Trump" is quickly gaining followers with its freshly created account.

An apparent satire account has sprung up under the name of 'John Barron' - an old pseudonym Trump used through the '80s.

Complete with a description clarifying the account is "Not Donald Trump", the profile picture contains an image almost identical to the one on Trump's original page.

The only difference is that 'John Barron' has a fake mustache.

'John Barron' has made one tweet so far: "Hello I am brand new to Twitter, what are you guys up to."

The account has been active for just over an hour at the time of publishing and has more than 52,000 followers.

On the profile it lists Krister Johnson as his "publicist", an Emmy-winning writer and producer in the US.
