I think the safest prediction for the House going forward is that it’s going to be worse than what we’ve had. The Rs have a majority in name only, made up with a cohort of “normal” politicians fearful of being primaried and a cohort of the unhinged and insane whose goal is tear down the federal state and give the power to the red states so they can do what you’d presume they’d do or worse.

So the problem there is anyone who could get chosen by the Rs will be (or should be) unacceptable to the Dems.

As for TFG’s deposition in the Cohen case, leaving NYC is unlikely to be related to that. In the normal course, a deposition that needs to adjourned is rarely adjourned to a few days later or, in this case, the day after TFG stops attending the trial.

Too, TFG had better reasons for attending the trial than just blowing off his deposition in the Cohen case. Said reasons: make statements in the courthouse to support his grift; micromanage his legal team; and make his idiotic, infantile faces to rattle the judge into making some sort of reversible error.

I suppose he testifies the way he does as a potential defense to perjury: he’s not lying, he’s just too stupid to answer correctly.
