The king was amused and agreed to give the man a chance to do it. When asked why by a friend, the man replies: "A lot can happen in a year, the king could die, I could die, and maybe, just maybe, I can teach the horse to talk." That's trumps whole strategy. Delay, delay, delay.

The Dems got caught flat-footed in 2016 and trump drew an inside straight, getting into the White House by a margin of victory from three states that collectively wouldn't have filled a football stadium. The response: "Never again". trump's worst enemy in this election was trump himself. Trashing John McCain cost him AZ. Trashing John Lewis cost him GA. Trashing Gretchen Whitmer cost him MI, especially doing so after a bunch of whack jobs got caught planning to kidnap and murder her. (We kind of take a dim view of that sort of thing.) Oh, I do give the Republicans credit. trumps thinks he won in a landslide. He got his landslide, we just got a bigger one.

    17
  420. Whatever praise Bernie gives Castro pales in comparison to trump's effusive praise of the little rocketman. Double standard much?

  424. Recently reread an SF book from the early seventies. The Burning by James Gunn. The Unites States comes under the sway of the self-described "Lowbrow movement". In the 70s it seemed satirical, now it seems prophetic.
    16
  425. A friend of mine signed me up for their newsletter. I actually enjoyed it from a "know your enemy" standpoint. The arguments that you see there presented in erudite form you will hear crudely six months later from the usual gang of bully boys.

  445. "You can't fight in here. This is the war room."-Dr. Stranglove.
    16
  446.  @reality6968  Saying "fascist left" is like saying "Communist right". In other words, dumb.
    16
  447.  @robertharper3754  And "arms" meant weapons that took five minutes to reload. Either we go 21st century meaning in both instances or we go 18th in both. Take your pick.
    16
  448. "Execute the policies of the Republican Party." Yes, at dawn with a blindfold and a cigarette.

    16
  450. Can we agree on one thing? Are we all sick and tired of the spam replies?
    16
  451. Videos describing the "red mirage" are posted on YouTube well before Election day 2020. It was not only predictable, it was predicted.

    15
  456. No more amateurs. The presidency is not an entry level position.

    15
  461. Russia is an annoyance. Yes, a major one at the moment, but only an annoyance. China is the major threat long term because they've found a way to make autocracy work.
    15

    15
  469. I grew up in the Hood and I don't know that many felons.
    15
  470. Ironically, Reagan's "tear down this wall" speech may have actually delayed, rather than hastened, the end of the Berlin Wall. After that speech, Gorbachev didn't want to look weak by doing so.
    15
  471. When the remaining amount of votes isn't enough to change the preliminary result, a race is called. Sure, that happens before all the votes are counted but the result is the result. And the electors follow the result of those state counts, not 100%, but close enough to not matter otherwise. You know all of this so why try to deny reality?
    15
  472. "The voters have spoken.............the scoundrels."

    14
  480. I've been half -expecting a Las Vegas scale mass shooting incident laid, falsely of course, on Antifa. A suspect, conveniently killed at the scene, a computer with an anarchist manifesto, a few "accomplices" brought in for a show trial. I put nothing past these people. And if I'm smart enough to think of this, they are too.
    14

    14
  491.  @factsarenotdirtyfwords5451  Well, trumps own FBI director said that there's ZERO evidence of any ANTIFA-type infiltrators. Certainly all the arrestees have been MAGA types. Or is this just another exmaple of deep-state persecution or some such nonsense?
    14
  492.  @joewearsadroolbib7347  The Constitution can't be a check on the Supreme Court when the Supreme Courts says what the Constitution is.
    14
  493. What would it take to get rid of the Electoral College. That's easy. A Democrat winning the Electoral College while losing the Popular Vote.
    14
  494. She's a COMMENTATOR. Paid to express her OPINIONS. What moe-rons you folks are.
    14
  495. There is one and only one potential nominee who should be considered and his name is Merrick Garland. (He was treated so unfairly.)

    14
  498. Maybe this is the sort of thing that an investigation would uncover.
    14
  499.  @kevplescia4397  Not really. You and your buddies rob a bank and a guard shoots and kills your buddy, you go down for felony murder.
    14
  500. What could go wrong?

    13
  510. It used to be that they'd say this stuff heedless of what violence might ensue. Now they hope for it.
    13
  511. Back when the internet was new they called it "The Information Superhighway". Well, now compared to much of the rest of the world what we've got is "The digital dirt road".

    13
  514.  @scintillam_dei  Yes, the holes are bigger than the virus. But they are NOT bigger than the respiratory droplets that CARRY the virus. How many times do we have to shoot this one down before idiots stop repeating it?
    13
  515. No, it isn't on him or Liz or any Republican officeholder. It's on the people who vote, first in Republican primaries, then in November.
    13
  516. We thought we had it in the bag so we took our eye off the ball. (To mangle some metaphors.)
    13
  517. It's time to start calling these people what they are: Species traitors.
    13
  518. First TX elects "W". Then Perry. Then Abbott. Now they've got THIS nimnod waiting in the wings. What is this some kind of dumb-off?
    13
  519. Make no mistake, the people calling for civil war are advocating the wholesale slaughter of their fellow citizens. They should be "looked at" as soon as we have a Justice Department that's interested in, you know, justice.
    13
  520. She probably thinks it's one of those "Mexican countries".
    13
  521.  @exsmoker74  And how many of them died from believing trumpy lies?
    13
  522. that's been the problem since the beginning of this whole thing. Being REactive, rather than PROactive.
    13
  523. Bill may not have been able to get it done, but he laid the groundwork without which it wouldn't have happened.
    13
  524. "You won't change anybody's mind by calling them stupid." Maybe not, but it sure is fun.
    13
  525. Hillary was being charitable.
    13
  526. Too bad Mitt doesn't drink because he'd never have to pay for a beer ever again.
    13
  527. Instead of cutting his mic off, they should simply redirect the feed and record what he says when he thinks it's off.
    13
  528. The fun never stops.
    13
  529.  @Joyful-o2m  How about intra-racial discrimination? Lighter skinned blacks vs. darker skinned blacks.

    13
  531. An Apollo-scale project to develop commercially viable fusion power is needed. And the nation that develops it will be in the catbird seat for the next several decades. As a bonus, OPEC will be reduced to the states of lubricant salesmen.
    13
  532. Flying them upside down might be more appropriate.
    13

    13
  542. I grew up in Detroit. Even the bullies got bullied.
    12
  543. trump did the political version of drawing an inside straight. Nice when it happens, but you don't make a strategy of it.
    12
  544. Not just federal.
    12
  545. This guy has "cause and effect" reversed. People aren't poor because they vote Democratic, they vote Democratic because they're poor.
    12
  546. Radioactive waste being dumped off Japan? What could go wrong?
    12
  547. trump's "philosophy", as he has "articulated" it himself, is that when someone screws you, you screw them back......harder. Now that includes the entire country.
    12
  548. Little Marco says people may drop bombs in drop-boxes. Prediction or marching orders?
    12
  549. Pat yourself on the back. You've maintained your purity. Remind yourself of that when the round-ups begin, while the sea level rises, when the hottest year of the last decade is the coolest of the next, when Thomas and Alito resign and are replaced by forty-something clones of Alito and Thomas, while The Handmaid's Tale becomes a how-to, while school shootings continue unabated, while Gaza is turned into a parking lot, while Bobby Jr makes polio great again. You've maintained your purity. Congratulations.
    12

    12
  554. People against diversity?
    12
  555. Biden losing votes on Israel is absurd, given that trump's position on Israel makes Biden's look moderate. (Which, by the way, it is.)
    12
  556. If the Mueller report truly exonerated trump, you would have had a copy in your mailbox by Monday.
    12

  558. I hate to be paranoid, but it sounds like someone got to him.
    12
  559. He and I remember the sixties very differently.
    12
  560. It takes a year or two for the effects of a president's policies to hit the economy. trump's policies are the same as Bush's, in spades. Expect the same result, in spades. Oh, one exception, the tariffs, which isn't going to make things any better.
    12

    12
  566. Sounds suspiciously like "The fix is in".
    12
  567. Our standards aren't as high as they used to be.
    12
  568. Even those of us who've followed this from the outside know that there's a smoking howitzer.
    12
  569. Intentional almost slip of the tongue.
    12
  570. This may not be the "most important" case, but it does represent the earliest misconduct of the matters charged so it going first is not inappropriate.
    12
  571. If you don't believe that "not doing your job" is a legitimate tactic take it up with Mitch McConnell.
    12
  572. She'll say she did regardless.
    12
  573. It's insane that dude got as many votes as he did.
    12
  574. Democrats need to start voting in Republican primaries for candidates who support the rule of law and the right to vote and have your vote counted.
    12
  575.  @johnfurr6060  California: A place where so many people want to live they don't have enough houses to put them in.
    12
  576. trump's argument is: "We can't prove they cheated, but we know they did and they did it better than we did."
    12
  577. Also, Steele is British, not Russian. Britain is not a hostile power.
    12
  578. Who uses the term "asset"? Folks in the intelligence community, that's who.
    12

    12
  585. I'm sorry but I had to laugh when she said "overflowing racks".
    12
  586.  @michaelalbert8474  It wasn't the court that ended slavery. It was Lincoln and, oh yes, the Civil War. Nor was it the court that gave women the right to vote. That took an amendment.
    12
  587. If Russian intelligence isn't targeting Mar-A-Lago it would be a gross dereliction of duty.
    11
  588. FTR, Thom. Agnew was Governor of Maryland, not NJ. Understandable mistake, though, since he was crooked enough to qualify for NJ's governorship.
    11
  589. Rank choice voting promotes philosophy over personality. Under the current system, if two similar candidates "split" the liberal (or the conservative) vote, the third will win, even though most of the voters for the two similar candidates probably would have preferred that the other similar candidate win, if they couldn't have their first pick. RCV allows that to happen as the bottom of the three candidates gets dropped and their votes reassigned.
    11
  590. It should. The funny thing is that bigots don't discriminate. They'll get to everybody. And then, of course, each other.

    11
  595. I'm so stealing that.
    11
  596. They'll take that as a challenge.
    11
  597. Some are, some aren't. The point is that trump's brownshirts don't seem to be making any distinction.
    11
  598. Crist reminds me of an old time actor whose name escapes me. Anybody know who I'm talking about.
    11
  599. The Klanish Armada
    11
  600. When you say Republicans can't be that dumb, they take it as a challenge.
    11
  601. I smelled Tulsi out as a bad actor back during the campaign.
    11
  602. It's an income tax, not a people tax. If you want to tax income, you tax it where it is. If the richest 1% "earn" 99% of the income, they should pay 99% of the taxes.
    11
  603. She's like a crazy Sarah Palin.

    11
  606. I'm a white guy and hearing about slavery doesn't make me uncomfortable for being white. I never owned any slaves and neither did any of my ancestors. And if they had, so what? I have no more control over the behavior of my ancestors than I do that of my descendants a hundred years from now. We're responsible for ourselves and ourselves alone. Of course, people should learn about stuff that happened and that is happening even today. It's the only way to keep it from happening in the future. But, bottom line, if someone does something to you or a family member or a friend and you hold that against some uninvolved party solely because of that person's paint job, you ain't wired right.
    11
  607. The cause of your problems is never someone who earns less than you do.
    11
  608. Why elect a tv star as president?
    11

    11
  610. I've joked that they believe wrestling is real, but , jeez.
    11
  611. You can get thoughts, you can get prayers. You won't get both from the same people.
    11
  612. My dad used to say that those who distrust most should be trusted least .
    11
  613.  @MrRasZee Well, I am capable of engaging someone in an argument without calling them stupid, even when it's painfully obvious that they are.
    11
  614. I worry about election day. Particularly in areas where there are long lines for voting.

  617. That's OK, neither was he.
    11
  618. Hardly seems fair after all he's done for the virus.
    11
  619. The state Supreme Court ruled the law under which Whitmer imposed her restrictions. (It had been on the books for SEVENTY years.) Also the Republican controlled legislature has no interest in curtailing the virus, they just want to curtail Whitmer.
    11
  620.  @CaminoAir  This, it isn't going to come with swastikas, goosestepping and snazzy uniforms. It will be a uniquely American form.
    11
  621.  @jeezumcrow8655  Democrat is a noun. The adjective is Democratic.
    11
  622. If a person can tell ten lies in three minutes and debunking them takes an hour apiece there's no way to "win" a debate with such a person.
    11
  623. I would like to thank the election officials, especially the Republican ones, who held the line against this kind of pressure. The system itself is more important that the results of ANY SINGLE ELECTION.
    11
  624. I think some of that disparity will level out when the virus moves to the rural areas.
    11
  625. Does the ruling apply to actual gay couples or merely hypothetical ones?
    11
  626. He was so "singularly focused on his trial" that he kept falling asleep.

  627. "Puts the issue into the hands of elected state representatives." Like the 1931 Zombie Law in Michigan which nobody living voted for?
    11
  628. Demote them to territory. Be good boys and girls for a few decades and we might let you back in.

  632. I'm bettin' that "Anonymous" is Dan Coates.
    11
  633. That's an interpretation that it may all hinge on.
    10
  634. The most galvanizing aspect of the Floyd video wasn't the brutality of it, but the CASUAL brutality of it. The hand in the pocket as a mans life drains away. Who does that?
    10
  635. Indicate a statement in this video that you think is a lie with a timestamp, please.
    10
  636. When trump is around you can practically hear the sound of laws breaking.

  642. When I was young there was a talk station in our market that alternated liberal and conservative hosts. It made for great listening and some good conversation, especially during time slot changeover.
    10
  643. They're not even trying to hide it anymore.
    10
  644. McGeorge Bundy, dean of the faculty of arts and sciences, said signing a loyalty oath was just like licking a stamp. As Adam Ulam, the late director of the Russian Research Center described it to me years later, my father jumped in, saying “let me point out, you begin licking stamps, and you end up licking something else”. Sylvia Poggioli

  646. Pete's got a great future, but not starting this year.
    10
  647.  @TheRealpdq  Wrong. Protesters are not responsible for policing the behavior of their fellow protesters. Cops, on the other hand, are responsible for policing the behavior of their fellow cops because they're, wait for it, cops.
    10
  648. One thing though. I wonder how much Hobbs is insulating herself from decision regarding the operation of this election, in which she is, after all, a candidate. (I raised this same concern when GA Secy of State Kemp was running the election in which he became Governor.) Perhaps, it should be required that any SOS resign if they're going to be seeking another office.
    10
  649. So let me see if I've got this. We've got three candidates. One may be senile. One is crazy. And one is possibly senile and crazy.
    10
  650. Not really the example we want to be following.
    10
  651. I've said it before and I'll say it again. Any public sector employee voting Republican is like a chicken voting for Colonel Sanders.
    10
  652. I know three guys named Jesus and none are voting for trump.
    10
  653. Does Liz think we should "strike back" BEFORE being struck? How does that work?

  670. Patriots are the new traitors.
    10
  671. "Nobody cares what he thinks." No, nobody knows if he thinks.
    10
  672. I'm just taking a guess here but I'm thinking that most of the folks here who care about the Mideast situation are also concerned about climate change. trump's energy policy is best described as "step on the gas". Come on, people. The fate of the planet outweighs any other consideration.
    10
  673. I have no idea who will be president on Feb 1, 2025, but I'd bet good $$$ that it wouldn't be Hutchinson or Manchin.

  678.  @EDUARDO-bj9wf  Brazil, where the nuts come from.
    10
  679.  @bngr_bngr  Why, because Scott Jennings says so?
    10
  680. Why did trump lose Arizona? Two reasons, I think. First, a negative reaction to trump's ongoing vendetta against John McCain, unending even after the man's death. Second, a "reverse coattail" effect from the strong Senate candidacy of Mark Kelly dragging Biden across the finish line.
    10
  681. Congressional Republicans: You can't dance with the devil without getting burned.
    10
  682. Yes, by all means. Let's hear from the gallows builder. Maybe the person who left the bombs at the party HQs.
    10
  683.  @danialhillmann5374  Actually that was to SLOW the spread and those two weeks, which should have been used for ppe manufacture, ramping up testing capability, and establishing contact tracing networks, were lost due to people who "think" like you.
    10
  684. Certainly our best ex-President.
    9
  685. "trump is leading a movement." I have a similar movement most mornings.
    9
  686. Technically, I suppose. An incident will be manufactured. Hell, FOX will just run the tape from Portland again. It's not like their viewers who have subcontracted their cognitive processes will know the difference.
    9
  687.  @theodorejay1046  The way we're going 3/5ths would be an improvement.
    9
  688. Be grateful for their greed. It undercuts their effectiveness.
    9
  689. The unfortunate reality is that trump has never viewed himself as president of the United States. He thinks of himself as "president of the people who voted for me".
    9
  690. "During the McCarthy shame, graduate students were required to sign loyalty oaths when they applied for government grants. A dean at Harvard defended this practice as being merely pro forma--of no greater significance than licking the stamps on the application envelopes. At a faculty meeting, the great Italian scholar Renato Poggioli stood up and commented, "Mr. Dean, I am from Fascist Italy, and I will tell you something. First you licka the stamps, then you licka something else." Quoted from Time.

    9
  693. Want to know why the second amendment is there? It mentions the "militia", but the purposes of the militia were outlined earlier, specifically in Article One, Section Eight. Read it. One of those purposes was to "suppress insurrections", not to freakin' participate in them.

    9
  701. Just google "trump mafia comparisons" and take your pick from the many selections offered.
    9
  702. Sure, the "it was staged" occurred to a lot of folks because, hey why not. Didn't trump himself once say that what you see isn't what's really happening? But hearing that others were injured and one actually killed sort of let the air out of that balloon. Also a little logical thinking leads one to conclude that there is no universe in which trump would let himself get shot, period. (Also feeding into this might have been an old TV miniseries "Favorite Son", starring Harry Hamlin, in which the title character does get shot in a staged assassination attempt.)

    9
  708. Does "impersonating a president" constitute fraud?
    9
  709. It should be pointed out that the question of Cohen that brought all this to light was conducted by AOC.

  713. If Matt Gaetz is defending her, it begs the question of what kind of skeletons he has in his closet.
    9
  714. Being called whacko by trump is like being called ugly by a frog.
    9
  715. If trump were to die a third of his supporters would deny it happened, another third would say the Dems killed him, the remaining third would somehow believe both of those things at once. Either way all will be very disappointed three days later.
    9
  716. Reindicted....................and it feels so good.

  725. Your "Landslide"=2.2%
    9
  726. I dunno. I think he's pretty offensive.
    9
  727. You ever notice that even trump's supporters don't claim he's innocent. Nobody says: trump wouldn't have an affair with a porn star. Nobody says that he wouldn't tell his lawyer to pay her hush money. Nobody says that he wouldn't reimburse him via bogus "legal fees". They think, as does he, that he simply has a right to be a criminal.

  745. It would be a good start.
    9
  746. All the reasons to dislike people and you're going with _color_?
    9
  747. Republicans: "We want trump to become President in 2024." Democrats: "Honestly?" Republicans: "Well, we'll see."
    9
  748. Except trump isn't out of the way....yet. He's like a wrong key that's busted off in the lock. It can't open the door and you can't get it out to use the right key.
    9
  749. From here forward stop referring to them by name. Just call them "Moron number one" etc. I bet we wouldn't get to triple digits.

    9
  754. Theocracies take blood by the bucket to depose. (America, take note.)
    9
  755. I don't blame you. Kind of like having an apartment over a meth lab, eh?
    9
  756. The communists, the Socialists, and the liberal squabbled amongst themselves while the conservatives threw in with the fascists.
    9
  757. Now we just need to make sure those ballots are counted.
    9
  758. Actually, in "Idiocracy" the president found a smart person and listened to him.

  864. All non-anonymity is not created equal. It's one thing when your name is Jack Smith, another when you've got a handle like mine. But at the very least a country identifier should be employed.

  874. It's not just the money he's stealing from the treasury. There's also foreign use of his properties to curry favor. Rent a floor at one of his bed bug farms and just don't show up. No expense to him because you weren't even there, just pure "clean" profit.

  877. The questions you're asking, I've been asking. Except one, who brought the gallows?
    7
  878. Also keep in mind the impact of The GI Bill. It wasn't universal, but given how many served during WW2 (or had immediate family that did) it almost was.
    7
  879. And anyone trying to teach them the difference between Communism, Socialism, etc. would be accused of teaching communism.

  911.  @abefroman8528  A lot of those increased registered Republicans are Democrats crossing over to vote in primaries for sane Republicans (presuming they can find them), particularly in GA (where it worked) and CO (where it didn't). They'll come home in Nov.
    7
  912. And did trump invite Pelosi to go back to Italy? Or Schumer to go to where his folks came from? Or the guy whose name escapes me that he called pencil neck? No. Just these four. Who, in three of the four cases, ARE where they came from.
    7
  913. Good golly.

    7
  931.  @purgethis1157  Sixties radical Abbie Hoffman once said that he could always tell the police/FBI infiltrators because they were the ones calling the loudest for violence (well, that and the hair). Take a look at the "umbrella man" in Minneapolis. Sure doesn't look like the peaceful protesters, does he? Who on 1/6 didn't look like they belonged? They all looked like what they were. This wasn't a "false flag" operation. The only false flags were Confederacy, Nazis, and trump. And, jeez, what other president had his own flag?

  939. "It ain't a crime if I do it." Yeah, we see that attitude lots of places.
    7
  940. It did slow the spread. Otherwise we would have looked like India does now. The problem was that things that should have happened in those two weeks didn't. (IE: Ramping up PPE production and contact tracing.) Hundreds of thousands of Americans died needlessly.
    7
  941. And like any IQ test, Louis Gohmert fails it.
    7
  942. You learn in poli-sci 101 that a US president who won't be again facing the electorate has a greater latitude in decision making. So Obama saying so is hardly scandalous or especially revelatory.

  960. First of all, the COVID restrictions that Whitmer put in were in line with those imposed by many other Governors, including some Republicans. Secondly, we weren't, in those early days, reacting as much to what COVID was, but to what it could have been. Don't forget, that the best precautions always seem excessive in retrospect.

  963.  @keysersoze1479  Utter nonsense. trump would be giving Ukraine to Putin because their President wouldn't announce a phony investigation into the Biden's.
    7
  964. trump can't heal the nation literally, he sure can't do it metaphorically.
    7
  965. I get people saying that Pence would be worse, but I fear a defeated trump having over two months as a lame (make that dead) duck than I would Pence taking the helm for the remainder of trump's term of office.
    7
  966. "Both sides do it."-Eff off, McConnell
    7
  967. The mask doesn't go over your EYES.
    7
  968. So "Hang Mike Pence" was metaphorical, not literal? Undoubtedly why they brought a metaphorical gallows.
    7
  969. The word is Buffoon. (But if there were such a thing as a Buffon, he'd be that too.)
    7
  970. The circumstances, at least regarding the McDougall payoff, are remarkably similar to those in the case of former Senator (and Democratic VP candidate) John Edwards. Payoff from a third party to conceal an affair. Two major differences. One, nobody claimed that the Edwards prosecution was politically motivated. Two, in the Edwards case the story was blown open by the National Enquirer but for trump the Enquirer was the third party making the payoff.

  979. If that were true turnout for that election would be higher (due to the influx of new voters). I don't know about 2000, but 2016 was not a high turnout election.
    6
  980. What's the % of counties overall where this is true? It may be a fundamentally meaningless statistic such as pointing out the % of military veterans among the mob, which isn't actually any higher than the overall population.
    6
  981. I hear these characters are considering trying to disrupt the Super Bowl. I hope that saner heads (presuming that they have any) prevail. Now, I'm not a sports fan and personally I could care less who wins, but I do know that the Super Bowl is considered a national security event. That means that Homeland Security has point on this and they don't play. If you don't see the problem, remember how much damage was done with a Ryder truck at Oklahoma City and imagine how much boom you could pack into a big rig. And before anybody says "Oh, these guys would never do that." remember that they don't have to. It would be pretty easy for (insert name of your favorite boogeyman here) to use such a protest as cover for such an activity.
    6
  982. Of course they don't. Look at the comments section and see all those folks who say: "We're not a democracy, we're a republic." That's like me saying: "I don't have a dog, I have a golden Retriever."
    6
  983. I'm a couple of years younger than Thom, but remember "Impeach Earl Warren" signs.
    6
  984. "Practiced corruption"? Hell, trump has perfected it.
    6
  985. I've shared it with a few people.
    6
  986. Inflation has been classically defined as "too many dollars chasing too few goods". But this current round of inflation isn't caused by the "too many dollars" side of the equation, but rather the "too few goods" part. Treating this round of inflation as if it were typical will result in a situation comparable to taking a medication and getting all the side effects without any of the medicinal value.
    6
  987. Funny, I remember my fellow baby boomers having this exact conversation when we were young. "We're never going to see that money.", we all said. We were wrong and so are you.
    6
  988. Yeah, but it's harder.
    6
  989. Last shot before the buzzer, gang.
    6
  990. Words are weapons. The words of the President of the United States are nuclear weapons and trump tosses them around like fourth of July firecrackers.
    6
  991. I like the term "thugocracy".

  992. So basically they want you to pay a tax on the energy you don't use.

    6
  1001. Hopefully they will confine their attacks to trump properties.
    6
  1002. Republicans are generally a cycle or two behind the curve in new techniques. Not surprising, resistance to change in a defining characteristic of conservatism.
    6
  1003. He's maxed out.
    6
  1004. Who filled them?
    6
  1005. trump's argument: "We can't prove it but we know that the Democrats cheated better than we did."
    6

    6
  1012. Voting for Democrats only is a good step but, and as a lifelong Dem myself I hate to say it, it is necessary either to bring the Republican party back to sanity or see that it is supplanted by a sane replacement because, sooner or later, people are going to want to change the channel.
    6
  1013. Our current inflation isn't the result of normal economic reasons and won't be cured by conventional economic measures. If the fed does it's normal thing to combat inflation we will get all the negative impacts from that but none of the positive impact on inflation. The best thing to do is let it burn itself out. It will hurt, but not as much as crashing the economy would.
    6
  1014. She is absolutely right, but the authoritarian impulse in her party goes way beyond trump.
    6
  1015. When they talk about "Republican and Democratic early voters" they're talking registration, not how they've actually voted.
    6
  1016. The technological advances this country got out of the Apollo program would have justified the cost if they'd blown the rockets up on the pad. We got the moon for free.

  1019. First rate trolling.

  1020. trump has been told repeatedly that the tariffs are paid by the consumer, not the exporting country. Yet, I heard him say it again just yesterday. The man just........doesn't...........learn.
    6
  1021. See, Janis. Tell them why and they demand details. Give them details and they criticize the source. I'll go back to what I said earlier. The info is out there and just google "trump Mafia comparisons". Pick a source AT RANDOM. I Know their games.

  1033. Pelosi knows that a one-party impeachment won't fly. After all, she was there when Newt tried it and it only made (Bill) Clinton stronger. She won't do it without significant Republican buy-in, which she won't get. She has also made the political calculation that the Dems are better served by leaving a hobbled trump in place as a walking, talking, tweeting "Vote Democratic in 2020" sign rather than trading him in for a (comparatively) clean and (comparatively) competent Mike Pence.
    6
  1034. Their attitude is that everybody's got the right to be born, but once you're here you take your chances with the rest of us.
    6
  1035. trump doesn't even drink beer.
    6
  1036. The chief difference between now and 2016 is that the horrors of a trump administration are no longer merely theoretical.
    6
  1037. The argument that maintaining a vibrant middle class is more in the interest of the wealthy than their squeezing every dollar they can out of us is an argument that they need to hear. Appeals to their morality certainly won't work, they have none.
    6
  1038. The Republicans don't need the Russians anymore.
    6
  1039. Guys like this are proof that getting rid of trump won't be enough. The Republican party has to be cored out five levels deep to root out trumpism. I DO support a two party system. We need two parties one liberal/progressive, one conservative, but both SANE.

  1067.  @nilnil8411  But Clarence and Ginny are still married.
    6
  1068. "Gas prices are up." From when? The depths of the pandemic when nobody was driving anywhere? Expecting the price of an item to remain static when every starts using it again, all at once, isn't too bright.

    6
  1101. People focus in on the word insurrection and forget the "or rebellion" part of the 14th.

    5
  1192. Hillary didn't lose because she was a "centrist". She lost because she was uniquely vulnerable to trump's attacks as she had been on the receiving end of a GOP propaganda campaign dating back literally to before when her husband was elected. trump's goons are desperate to hang the "crooked " label on Biden, but people just know better. Have whatever reservations you want about Biden, and I've got a few myself, but no one thinks he's corrupt.

We are AMERICANS, we settle our differences via the ballot box and the RULE of LAW. (Presupposing, of course, that all citizens GET access to the ballot box.) Don't forget how World War One started.
    5
  1229. The capitalism vs. communosocialism dichotomy is so twentieth century. One of these obsolete structures has already fallen, the other it teetering. We need to develop a new economic paradigm suitable for the twenty-first century.

  1301. There was a guy once named Lyndon LaRouche, passed away last year at 96. Back in the eighties, he ran a conspiracy based operation and tried to make inroads in the Democratic party. A couple of his followers won primary elections for State Rep seats in Michigan. Our Democratic Governor Jim Blanchard immediately endorsed and, in fact, offered to campaign for their Republican opponents. THAT is how a party should deal with KOOKS.

  1303. Law and order? Until those who make the laws, until those who enforce the laws are required to LIVE under the laws, there will be no order. There can't be. We talk about a guy looting a tv set and that's wrong. But nobody is talking anymore about the treasury being looted just a couple of months ago. If we'd seen a black street hoodlum knock down an elderly white man, people would be outraged, and rightfully so. But does is become less worthy of outrage when done by a man in a uniform. No. Indeed it's MORE worthy of outrage because the street hoodlum doesn't pretend to be more than he is and doesn't have the power of the state behind him.

  1350. Education is different from other "commodities". If you buy something from me, you now have it and I don't. On the other hand, if I impart to you a piece of knowledge you now know something that you didn't before but that doesn't make me not know it any more. Education is a win-win, or at least a win-break even. So why price it out of the reach of so many Americans?

Next time it could be the Russians, the Chinese, the North Koreans, the Turks, the Iranians, the freakin' Albanians. Not to mention the guy in mom's basement.

  1436. A little bit about the dynamics of a presidential campaign when there's an incumbent on the ballot. Everybody has an opinion of trump. Love him or hate him, think he's the second coming or the anti-Christ, people's opinion of trump is fixed and baked into the cake. So if you can't change people's opinion of trump the only way to move the needle is to change people's opinion of the other guy. So what are the things that people negatively think about trump? That he's crooked. So make them think that Biden's crooked too (Burisma). That he's mentally unstable. So make them think that Biden has dementia. That he's a sexual predator. So make them think that Biden is too. People will vote for someone with whom they disagree if they think that he is a better person. But if you can effectively smear the opposing candidate with a given percentage of the electorate, then those issues can be "factored out" on both sides of the equation and the election will be decided based on policy, where the Republicans think they can win.

  1467. I am current reading "The 103rd Ballot", a book on the 1924 Democratic convention. The KKK plays a prominent role in the story, but in those days the thrust of their agitation was anti-Catholic. Folks were making the argument that Catholics couldn't be "real Americans" because of their "allegiance" to the Vatican. Sound familiar?
    4
  1468. the issue of income/wealth inequality will ultimately be resolved because, sooner or later, it always is. Either through revolution or confiscatory taxation. Take your pick between Roosevelt and Robespierre, because one is coming.

    4
  1605. They all look like extras from "The Postman".
    4

    4
  1607. Yes.
    4
  1608. Only border in Michigan is the Canadian border.
    4
  1609. But I thought we'd stop hearing about COVID when Biden won. I swear if I was as wrong for as long as trumpers I'd be embarrassed to open my mouth.
    4
  1610. And we know which half.
    4
  1611.  @jamesmiller6637  I know that. And if I were being the proverbial grammar Nazi I'd point out that your initial sentence could have used a comma as in "Their, not there."

  1618.  @boiii3productions945  I would say four. Biden Dems, Bernie Dems, Trump Republicans, and Republican Classic.
    4
  1619. Here's the thing, though. You talk about these state contests as if they were independent events, like coin tosses. If I toss a coin and it comes up heads, that has zero effect on the next coin tossed. But these contests are interconnected events. Something that helps or hurts one candidate or the other in one state will probably do the same in others. Just saying.
    4
  1620.  @uncclelocc  Elected by the Legislature, it seems. Sorry.
    4
  1621. Hey, the camera adds ten pounds.

  1629.  @TankDavisConquers  When armed people show up expecting trouble at a place where there are other armed people................
    4
  1630. Anarchists are left wing anti-authoritarians. Right-wing anti-authoritarians are libertarians. The right-wingers doing violence, either openly as with Rittenhouse or covertly as with the "Umbrella man", are not libertarians. They are authoritarians aligned with the authoritarian in the White House.

    4
  1633. That's not nice. Sure, I laughed but it's not nice.
    4
  1634.  @atkim122  Good analogy.
    4
  1635. We all have heard the old saying, "Justice delayed is justice denied". trump's whole strategy is to delay, delay, delay. What do you think the intent is?

    4
  1640. Especially yours.
    4
  1641. Hutchinson calls for "consistent messaging". Talk to your fellow Republicans.
    4
  1642. He doesn't even pay people who do perform services for him and we're supposed to believe he paid someone who DIDN'T?

    4
  1650.  @Featherless1  Worst inflation since Reagan was president.
    4
  1651.  @eb1247  Given that said question is motivated by a desire to undercount people of Hispanic origin (as revealed on the hard drive of that recently deceased GOP operative) the racist origin of the question is pretty unmistakable. That's why the admin was laughed out of the Supreme Court on this issue. It is not INHERENTLY racist to inquire about citizenship status but the intent here is pretty clear.
    4
  1652.  @eb1247  Note that there are no cell phone videos of this happening in an era where every racist nimnod has his or her diatribes posted online.

    4
  1689.  @intentionallyinpired  To be fair, ripping up a trump speech could only improve it.
    4
  1690. Typically when you're fired for (in this case I'm putting it in quotes) "cause", you lose the vesting in your pension. If Biden had rehired him for three days, he would have been a three day employee. He needed to go through the process for challenging his wrongful termination.
    4
  1691. It would be nice but we're still a 50/50 country.
    4
  1692.  @sleepylion3369  Yeah, I sure didn't make it up, but I also didn't steal it from instagram either because I've never been ON instagram. And I do attribute quotes all the time here, when I know the source.

    3
  1703. Well, a lot of them DIDN'T work hard to make that money, their MONEY did. OR more aptly, their father's or grandfather's money did. But put that aside for a moment. I got no problem with folks being rich, I wish more people were rich. I think this would be a better country if for every billionaire, we had a THOUSAND millionaires instead. Paper your bathroom with hundred-dollar bills if you want. Buy more shoes than Imelda Marcos, you've still only got two feet. But what I DO have a problem with, however, is when those rich persons use that money to buy political influence to game the system to accumulate even MORE money and power, which in our society are roughly the same thing. Lather, rinse repeat.

  1710. He should run for Senator. Sorry, but dad's experience doesn't accrue to the son.
    3
  1711. Permitting trump to run is to invite events during the campaign season that will make J6 look like a Sunday school picnic.
    3
  1712. I'm looking right at it.
    3
  1713. I smell a lot of vodka in the comments section.

    3
  1716. I remember hearing Thom talking about trump bypassing the Electoral College months before J6. Pay attention.

  1724. The problem there isn't inflation, per se. The problem is that Soc Sec increases are linked to the CPI, which isn't built around the things seniors spend their money on.
    3
  1725. He's too stupid, but he has people working for him who aren't. Bill Barr comes to mind. Ever see "V for Vendetta"? trump is Sutler, Barr is Creedy.

    3
  1744. Banana Republicans?
    3
  1745.  earth ocean  You're buying into a demonstrable fallacy. A person who believes that the Earth is flat is wrong. A person who believes that the Earth is a perfect sphere is also wrong. But any person who believes them to be equally wrong is wronger than both of them put together.

  1761.  @jessejgay1  The trump tower meeting, Manafort turning over the polling data to an FSB front company enabling the Russians to "microtarget" their Facebook ads, Roger Stone's advance knowledge of Wikileaks dumps.

  1767.  @michaelteresko977  The money we've spent on NASA has provided scientific and technological advancement that has paid for itself multiple times over. It would have been worth every cent even if we'd blown up the Saturn 5 on the launch pad.
    3
  1768. Actually, that was Joseph Goebbels.
    3
  1769. My first reaction to seeing this was revulsion and thinking "There ought to be a law". But then I thought it through and realized that this tactic is EXACTLY what we saw from the extreme LEFT in the eighties regarding flag burning. That is, exercising a fundamental right in so wildly inappropriate a fashion which is calculated to create an over-reactive backlash so that they can play victim and whine about repression. We didn't fall for it then and we shouldn't fall for it now.
    3
  1770. Did we wake up in "The Boys" universe?
    3
  1771. Which they're not introducing in the lower courts just to throw people off, right?
    3
  1772. First of all it would be "Democratic" judges, not "Democrat". Secondly, it isn't even that because a lot of the judges are actually trump appointees.
    3
  1773.  @daniel8489  Yeah, 1964 is. The baby boom generation was from '46 to '64. A generation is 18 to 20 years.

  1774. The only thing that trump has in common with Lincoln is the amount of brains currently in their head.

  1777. I've used the "shield and sword" metaphor for the mask and vaccine and I'm certainly not a militarist.
    3
  1778. I'd say Bobby Kennedy (Sr, of course) or Gary Hart.
    3
  1779. No one used the term "agent". Hillary used the term "asset". The words, like many pairs of words, have DIFFERENT meanings. An agent is someone who KNOWINGLY serves the interests of a foreign power. An asset is someone who does so unwittingly, that is they honestly hold certain beliefs and take certain actions based on those beliefs but the net result of those actions is in the interest of another country.

  1785. But every body knows that the fact-checking sites are just tools of the Illuminati and the Lizard Wizards of Mars intended to lull us into a false sense of security until they can enslave us and take our women. At least that's what my friend, the former Finance Minister of Nigeria tells me.

  1792. “I wish that on your television screens there might have been a Tom Paine, a Sacco and Vinzetti, an Abraham Lincoln, men who understood the moral imperative and spoke out not just in defense of the unpopular cause, but on attack for what they believed. I don’t believe you’ve been privy to much awareness of the moral imperative. Your….brief years have exposed you to political expedience, to charisma, to the glib, the honeyed, the ancient fictions thrust at you as rhetoric. But rarely, if ever, have you been exposed to naked courage. Rarely, if ever, have you witnessed the sacrifice of career and fortune because a giant must occasionally emerge from midgets. Your lot, and mine, has been an overexposure to the midgets, the angry little men, the perpetual office-seekers, the posturing push-button products of politics build out of plastic and cigar smoke. The hatchet-wielders who generalize all villainy and indiscriminately tag all those in opposition as “subversive”, or stupid, or somehow suspect.” - Rod Serling

    3
  1797.  @TheRealpdq  If you believe that the (mis)behavior of another individual impacts MY right to exercise Constitutionally protected behavior (protesting), then you MUST, to be consistent, also believe that the (mis)behavior of, say, a mass shooter impacts YOUR right to own an AR-15.

  1798. Yep.

  1799. I hear there's a stairway.

  1801. What goes on you your neighborhood doesn't stay in your neighborhood.
    3
  1802. You don't need to disarm ALL the evil people, just enough to make a difference. The first step is solving a problem is defining it honestly.

  1803. Susan Collins will react with appropriately spaced clicks of the tongue.

  1804. "President trump started a movement unlike any other."-Well, that one isn't exactly true.
    3
  1805. Children, playing with matches.
    3
  1806. If you're serious about addressing immigration, there are four things that must be done. (List is in no particular order.) 1. Stop the problem from getting worse. That means reinforcing the border in some fashion. 2. Deal with the people who are already here. Either total deportation, total amnesty or something in between. 3. Deal with the employers who are hiring these folks. Let's see some CEO's doing perp-walks. 4. Look at any aspects of our foreign policy that may be contributing to making their countries of origin places that they want to leave. Do any three, but not all four, and the policy will fail.
    3
  1807. They're setting up Sanders to lose to trump. Think about boxing.
    3
  1808.  @Sideler74  One where every qualified citizen who wants to vote has that encouraged and facilitated. And when that is done the votes are tabulated in an open process with observers from both (or more) parties present. And the candidate who has the most votes wins. Fair enough?
    3
  1809. "Never met anybody who voted for Joe Biden." Well, no one who'd admit it to YOU.

  1810. One person's "instilling morals" is another person's "indoctrinating". Make up your minds.

  1812. "We in this country, in this generation, are – by destiny rather than choice – the watchmen on the walls of world freedom. We ask, therefore, that we may be worthy of our power and responsibility, that we may exercise our strength with wisdom and restraint, and that we may achieve in our time and for all time the ancient vision of "peace on earth, good will toward men." That must always be our goal, and the righteousness of our cause must always underlie our strength. For as was written long ago: "except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain." John F. Kennedy-from a speech that was to be delivered on November 22, 1963.

  1819. The ad was interrupted by another ad!
    3
  1820. Of course they make the "Socialism" charge against Biden just as they would have against Sanders. That's not the difference. The difference is that it would have been credible made against Bernie because, wait for it, Bernie is a Socialist. (A Democratic one admittedly.)
    3
  1821. I think they've done shows about that too.
    3
  1822. I think you meant "kooks" but it's still funny.

  1825. "Communist fascism"????? Betting you weren't a poli-sci major.
    3
  1826. Just wait until the election is over. Big deal. The folks can wait and be content with the previous presidential robots.

  1827. To be fair, it's not like Republicans haven't quoted people out of context before/ It's hard to strike back at them on that front because they don't believe in context anyway.

  1828. In addition to the subsidies and tax breaks, you also have to figure in the fact that we let them borrow the army now and again.

  1835.  @deadguy3332  He asked them to investigate BIDEN. Although the word "asked" isn't exactly accurate here.
    3
  1836. Except you spelled all the words correctly.
    3
  1837. The problem comes in when the votes of people who don't do as you advocate count for as much (if indeed not more due to the vagaries of the Electoral College) as the votes of folks who do.
    3
  1838. If it wasn't for double standards they'd have no standards at all.
    3
  1839. I wouldn't call Oxford MI a suburb of Detroit. It's almost 2 counties away. (BTW, I saw the Sheriff cars en route to the scene while driving home from a local mall.)

  1845. I've long maintained that his incompetence is his saving grace.
    3
  1846. They handed trump debate questions, but it didn't help.
    3
  1847. Ian, that's the Democratic party, not the Democrat party. Repeat after me: The Congressman is a Democrat, he is a Democratic Congressman.
    3
  1848. We're going about this all wrong. Instead of impeachment, we should take up a collection and pay him to leave. We all know that money is all he cares about so come up with enough $$$ he will take it.
    3
  1849. Are there ANY Democrats besides Sanders whom you guys regard as progressives? Let me rephrase that: Are there any Democrats whom you guys regard as progressives?
    3
  1850. Harris for AG. Yang for Sec'y of Labor.
    3
  1851. Sure their defenses are pretty bad, but to be fair there aren't any good ones.
    3
  1852. The electoral College is based, at its core, on the idea that the votes of some people count, and ought to, more than the votes of other people. Now, that's a perfectly defensible position. But you don't get to take that position and EVER call someone ELSE an "elitist".
    3
  1853. "If you can't take somebody's money one day and screw them the next you don't belong in this business."-Willie Brown.

  1862.  @commonsense9173  AOC is ONE member of ONE house of ONE branch of government. Calling this apples and oranges is to kind, it's more like apples and a single grape.
    3
  1863. 73.6% of statistics on the internet are just made up.
    3
  1864. Is it correct say the Elaine Chou is "of Chinese descent" given that she was BORN in Taiwan? Yes, it is technically accurate. As was Spock's statement that "one of my ancestors married a human female". But it seems less than fully revealing.

  1866. Anybody who doesn't think that Senators should be elected by the people is free not to vote for them.

  1867. "The reproductive act". Dude can't even SAY sex?
    3
  1868. Just as you said "Lets go to his platform", an ad came on for MI GOP candidate Tudor Dixon. BTW, after trump maybe anybody that bangs porn stars should be prohibited from office just as a precautionary measure.
    3
  1869. She covered up the allegations when she should have covered up the alligator.
    3
  1870. Is his argument that the writers of the "equal protection" clause, with no intent to do so, revised the "natural born citizen" requirement to be president? Interesting argument, but zero chance.
    3
  1871. The image of Biden talking to a wall is indicative of what we all go through talking to trump supporters.
    3
  1872. The guy has a point. Them folks don't care how they park. (Landscapers, I mean, not black folks.)

  1873. Politics should stop at the stadium entrance.
    3
  1874. I don't believe her but, because I'm a fair kind of guy, I'll disbelieve one of trump's accusers too.
    3
  1875. A trump rally is like "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" for morons.
    3
  1876. When they revoked her admission did they give her her money back? Just kidding.
    3
  1877. Even after four years of trump, the Republican brand still has value, mostly donor base and ballot access. That's why trump won't form a "Patriot Party" and the establishment Republican types won't form a "Lincoln Party". Neither will be willing to walk away from the prize that the name still represents.
    3
  1878. The shooting, which is being universally condemned, doesn't change that.
    3
  1879. "Suck on that!"
    3
  1880. I was just thinking of selling blue hats. Any suggestions as to what should go on them. (Serious responses only.)
    3
  1881. A little poli-sci 101 here. When an incumbent president is facing re-election a certain dynamic takes pace. It doesn't matter if it's trump, Obama, Bush or Clinton. But since the incumbent is trump, we'll use him as an example. He's been president for three years, and was a public figure for years before that. Your opinion of trump, think that he's the Messiah or the Anti-Christ, is fixed, unchangeble, and baked into the cake. Therefore if you're working to reelect the president (either officially, or unofficially like FOX "news"), your only option is to change people's opinion of the OTHER guy. Make people think that Biden is crooked, make people think he's a sexual predator, make people think that he's not firing on all cylinders. The truth or falsity of the charges doesn't even really matter because proving them isn't the point. You're just out to muddy the waters. The fact that ALL of those charges can be made against trump, in spades, doesn't matter either. Because you're not trying to change people's opinion of trump, just Biden It's an old tactic. They used it against Goldwater in 1964 with the "daisy ad". They used it against Kerry in 2004 with the "Swift Boat" thing. (That one came courtesy of Roger Stone "associate" Jerome Corsi, whose lunacy can be found on full display these days.) The degree to which it works is measured by the degree to which it turns people off to the process so they don't vote or gets them to go third party or to write in Mickey Mouse, it's all good to them because every vote not cast or not cast for the only person who has any realistic prospect for defeating trump is as good as a vote FOR trump.
    3
  1882. The minute I saw him hold up that phone, I said to myself: "How dumb is this guy?"
    3
  1883. I think that having Biden's ambassador to FOX being gay constitutes epic trolling.
    3
  1884. On the toad again. I can't wait to get on the toad again.
    3
  1885. She's "regular girl hot", not "Hollywood/Playboy hot".

  1887. If you think that any president could fix structural racism you seriously overestimate the power of the presidency.
    3
  1888. Then, of course, there's mutual rape.
    3
  1889. Hillary did not lose because she's an "establishment Democrat" (whatever that means). She lost because she had been the number one target of the Republican smear machine for almost a quarter of a century. Any potential Democratic candidate will have his or her own problems, but they won't be Hillary's problems.
    3
  1890. By the way, let's put to bed this whole "overturning the election" line. "Overturning the election" would make Hillary President, not Pence.
    3
  1891. "Perpetuating war"? By helping people who are fighting to keep their country?
    3
  1892. Look at Gatez. You can't trust a guy whose lip motions don't match the sound of their voice.
    3
  1893. The term "false flag" is being misused. Since nobody has claimed responsibility for this it must be regarded as a "NO FLAG" operation. Putting it in the context of this event, it would be a false flag if, say, Soros had, through an intermediary, recruited ACTUAL right-wingers to do the deed.
    3
  1894. Remember back when you were a kid and you played totally unorganized baseball down at the school lot? Well, probably not you, Anna, but I'm betting that Cenk does. You'd get the inevitable disputed play and then that one guy on the other team would say. "No, you're right." And the cry would go up: "Your guy says so." That's what Kasich is here. He's the Republican who's making the case that, at least in this instance, the Dems are right. I remember how badly I felt listening to the Republican conventions in '04 and '08, hearing first Zell Miller and then Joe Lieberman be that guy who backs the other team. I know that John Kasich will give many Republicans that same feeling and I can't wait. Just sorry it wasn't "W". Hey, maybe they're working on it.
    3
  1895. All the loony people, where do they all come from?
    3
  1896. They're not "not paying attention to the indictments". They're sticking their fingers in their ears and going: "LA LA LA LA".
    3
  1897. Or that her employer has a right to establish work environment.

  1898. Mail-in voting: Supposed risk of voter fraud In-person voting: Risk of Covid-19.

  1912.  @AustinFan4Life  I don't deny he was left-wing, but his attack was denounced universally and immediately including by the guy he supported, Senator Sanders. The MAGAbomber and the El Paso shooter were clearly inspired by trumps rhetoric but he has (as far as I know) said nothing about the former and only denounced the later after much prodding and then only half-heartedly.

    3
  1919. No, not that they're similar "policy-wise", but that they're similar personality-wise in that both have that "true believer" mentality. Not true of all Bernie supporters nor for that matter, all those who voted for trump, but by and large........
    3
  1920. trump's articulated knowledge in inversely related to his actual knowledge. When he says he knows everything about a subject, he knows nothing about the subject. When he says he knows nothing about a subject, he knows everything about the subject.
    3
  1921. I know many members of the Chaldean community and they universally pronounce it with a hard "C", silent "H".
    3

    3

    3
  1933. I seem to remember a guy whose mother was an American citizen and the trumpies seemed to think that he wasn't one. Let's see, what was his name? Startedwith an "O", I think.
    3
  1934. Legally that's called a chain of custody issue.
    3
  1935. Actually I think they all do that.
    3
  1936. What's the story on that black and yellow flag?
    3
  1937. If you think the HOUSE is reluctant to vote, wait till it gets to the SENATE.
    3
  1938. In others words, nothing to see here, eh? That's what they do folks. They try to make it seem like nothing is going on. And they make that same argument for every single thing that they do.

A global pandemic that claimed the lives of 160,000 Americans and still rages out of control here alone among the wealthy nations. An economy teetering on the edge of a depression. Cities on the verge of exploding. The Post Office being systematically throttled to tip the balance of an election. That 2016 person would have told you that you were nuts. Face it, folks. When dealing with trump, no scenario is too far-fetched to contemplate.

    3
  1971. Be wary of preachers who sound like politicians and politicians who sound like preachers.
    3
  1972.  @Mark-db8id  Democracy doesn't mean "mob rule". Democracy has safeguards for the rights of the minority. Democracy isn't, contrary to the rightie meme, two wolves and a sheep voting on what's for dinner, but two sheep and one wolf voting on what isn't.
    3
  1973. I'm quite confident in my prediction. And the more trump claims credit for how good the economy is doing now, the funnier it's going to be watching him blame Obama when it crashes. (His followers, of course, will believe it.)

    3
  1995. The power to do nothing is the greatest power of all.
    3
  1996.  @surfthewav3  No, that was Louis Gohmert. But each one is dumber than the other.

    3
  1998. I wouldn't believe trump if he said water was wet.
    3
  1999. “Here the big battles were being fought-against revised versions of the Bible, fluoridation, dirty books on school library shelves. The people of Garden Grove cared enough about the future of their country to pass an ordinance prohibiting the sale of UNICEF Christmas cards. At PTA and school board meetings in a dozen communities, women had the courage to stand up and reveal how Democrats were building barbed-wire stockades in Alaska to imprison all conservatives.” The Last Days of the Late Great State of California-Curt Gentry-1968
    3
  2000. To be fair, trump didn't "hand pick" those "Justices", he let Mitch and the Federalist Society do it.

    3

    3
  2003. "There is a greater darkness than the one we fight. It is the darkness of the soul that has lost its way. The war we fight is not against powers and principalities, it is against chaos and despair. Greater than the death of flesh is the death of hope, the death of dreams. Against this peril we can never surrender. The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain." G'Kar (Babylon 5)

    3
  2005. He delivered COVID.
    3
  2006. Neither does Paul Gosar's. (Not like Gosar, that it. They probably do like Kinzinger.)
    3
  2007. Yeah, since 1929. That year sticks in my head for some reason.
    3
  2008.  @chosenone1066  Ah, but would it be better or worse with a different Governor? That, rather than it's current condition, is the relevant question.
    3
  2009. This would not take away votes from anybody. The Republicans could nominate another horrible person who is not disqualified.

  2018. And a little bit more.
    3

  2036. Because Georgia.
    3
  2037. Not the entire world...........unfortunately.
    3
  2038.  @troyd4235  Many of their arguments are contradictory. They believe them all anyway.
    3
  2039. This is real "open mouth, insert foot" stuff.
    3
  2040.  @erikanders3343  Biggest mistake we've all made in this thing is being reactive rather than proactive.
    3
  2041. The problem with voicemails like this is that you miss out on all the misspellings that would be there if it were written.

    3
  2072. Tuxedos.

    3
  2074. Us running away from them won't make them stop.
    3
  2075. They stick with him because he won one time. If he loses again they'll deny even knowing him. (The fact that there's tape won't matter because, with them, it never does.)
    3
  2076. They "felt the election was stolen". We know it wasn't.
    3
  2077. trump proclaims moon landings fake but pro wrestling real.
    3
  2078.  @Studentofgosset  Oh, they vote in Russia. It just doesn't mean anything.
    3
  2079.  @robertsponseller2896  And it is precisely the "doing nothing" part that is the hub of the matter. He sat watching the TV, probably whipping his skippy, and did nothing to stop it. That dereliction of duty constituted giving "aid and comfort".
    3
  2080. Neither did Bannon.
    3
  2081. Was it at night?
    3
  2082. Pick up "Stand and Be Counted."

    3
  2093.  Yi  Mitch isn't a Democrat.
    3
  2094. Almost two hundred and fifty years of progress toward that "more perfect union" is on the line and people are predicating their vote on the price of eggs?
    3
  2095.  @mildredstubblefield4231  They did a kind of stutter/back up; thing there, but yeah.
    3
  2096. WTF does Hunter Biden have to do with Jan 6?
    3
  2097. A few weeks ago we were "treated" to the spectacle of people complaining about governmental "tyranny" on the steps of many of our nations state capitols. The "tyranny" they were complaining about was having to stay home, watch Netflix and cut their own hair. You want to see TYRANNY? We saw it in Minnesota. The literal knee on the neck of a man for nothing more than suspicion of trying to pass a bogus twenty. If you weren't protesting that, your complaints about "tyranny" ring more than a little hollow.
    3

    3
  2104. DeSantis does that "air accordion" thing, too.
    3
  2105. I can hear the trumpies now: "The liberals have been saying for months that this audit was a fraud. Looks like they were right."
    3
  2106.  @jeffreythetruth1135  That was his VP.
    3
  2107. A quick Google search shows Biden, Yang, Pelosi, and Swalwell have. Maybe others as well. Like I said, a quick search.
    3

    3
  2129. Who brought the gallows? Who planted the pipe bombs? And if the mob could be thought of as an army, who were the sergeants and the captains? (We saw the privates and we know who the generals were, not to mention the supreme commander.)

    3
  2134. 3 vs. 300,000. I'll take my chances.
    3
  2135. To be fair, quoting trump is kind of absurd since he is incapable of speaking the truth, even by accident.
    3
  2136. That's how negotiations work. If they don't like x or y, you see how they feel about z.

    3
  2155.  @ballplaya96x67  This, folks, is what they call the "fallacy of the excluded middle". I would pooint out that New Zealand did a full shut-down for TWO months, are reopening now, had a TOTAL of TWENTY-ONE deaths. That's IT!

  2160. Could trump's VP argue that his incarceration constitutes "incapacity" under the 25th Amendment?
    3
  2161. Epic.
    3
  2162. They just want to impeach Biden to "get even" for trump. Look, we've had three presidents impeached. Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton, both Democrats, and trump, a Republican. Only Republicans would try to get even when they're already one up.

    3
  2171. It's not the guns OR the crazy people. It's the guns AND the crazy people. You'll never get all the solution out of half the problem.

    3
  2176. In ain't Democrats that are testifying, pal.
    3
  2177. Saying "recession is not inevitable" is like saying "There is absolutely no cause for alarm". Time for a "nothing to fear but fear itself" speech.
    3
  2178. It should be remembered that Merrick Garland was intended to be a palatable choice for Republicans, not an "in your face" selection like Barrett.

    3
  2196. There are three differences between the two situations. The first, the shorter timeframe, has already been noted. The second is that the McConnell precedent is now an established fact. The third is that Garland, Obama's nominee in 2016, was selected to be at least palatable to Republicans, an older middle of the roader, while Barret is, for sure, an "in your face" pick.
    3
  2197. This became obvious during COVID.

    3
  2201. A former President defecting would not be allowed to happen. He'd have an "accident".
    3
  2202. Where will he go next? This phantom from another time, this resurrected ghost of a previous nightmare. Chicago? Los Angeles? Miami, Florida? Vincennes, Indiana? Syracuse, New York? Anyplace, everyplace, where there's hate, where there's prejudice, where there's bigotry. He's alive. He's alive so long as these evils exist. Remember that when he comes to your town. Remember it when you hear his voice speaking out through others. Remember it when you hear a name called, a minority attacked, any blind, unreasoning assault on a people or any human being. He's alive because, through these things, we keep him alive.-Rod Serling

  2228. Russian intelligence hacked Burisma back in January (google it, folks). So there's zero evidence that anything on any of these "emails" bears any relationship to reality.
    3
  2229. Florida constitution does not have a recall provision.
    3
  2230.  @parts456  So you acknowledge that it's a matter of religion? Good. Because matters of religious conviction aren't subject to the law in a country with separation of church and state.
    3
  2231. Taking $$$$ from cyber-security? Coincidence? I think not.

  2232. Hey, it took ten years to get Bin Laden.
    3
  2233.  @jlvandat69  You would think, though, that someone on his staff would tell him what humans do in such circumstances.
    3
  2234.  @mrsW-  The belief that it is a "child" is your feeling. And (usually) a religiously based on that you don't have the right to compel others to follow.

  2235. The three dollar bill would be more appropriate.

  2236.  @lottasunshine1325  Are you sure?
    3
  2237.  @Ricky-g6i  He's not saying that they're out of money NOW. But, given the severity of hurricanes these days, he's projecting that they won't have the $$$ to get through the season.

    3
  2249. No trump has ever worm a uniform.
    3
  2250. It's sad that trump is the presumptive nominee of one of our two major parties. It's even sadder that we have a party that makes him such.

  2252.  @rockinmama007  And Jewish and Muslim and Hindu and Atheist.

  2253.  @blowinkk9396  "Break through" cases were predicted and predictable. In the final analysis the only way to beat this thing is by driving down the amount of virus that is circulating.

  2254.  r.domanovic  I have several of his albums and am sure that if there is one thing that he would appreciate it would be a joke that is in extremely bad taste. Sorry if I ruffled your feathers.

  2255. Zappa isn't as articulate as he used to be.
    3
  2256. So people will vote for trump next time. (Bin Laden did the same thing in 2004 by releasing a tape and it bought him another four years of breathing.)
    3
  2257. It isn't the same people. My generation has been divided since the beginning. The rebels vs. the suck-ups. The vets vs. the protesters. Newt vs. Bill.

  2266.  @hv9356  They were vetted for personal loyalty.

  2281. well said, sir.

  2282. Could trump's VP argue that his incarceration constitutes an inability, under the 25th amendment, to exercise the powers and duties of his office?
    3
  2283.  @BDAlmas-pl3hr  Closing travel from China only WAS racist. Should have closed travel from EVERYWHERE.
    3
  2284. And witness intimidation.
    3
  2285.  @AmericanPatriotsLoveTrump  You, undoubtedly, being the one who gets to define what constitutes "real Americans".
    3
  2286. I have noticed for a while that some candidates DO seem to have online "support" way disproportionate to their support in the real world. Bernie I get, because he's been around a while. Yang, because he's kind of an anti-trump. And, of course, trump himself. Gabbard does fall into that category. I wouldn't go so far as to say that she's a Russian asset, but I know what I see. And as for the Russians, well, Putin is a smart man and smart men DO like to hedge their bets. What could please him more than having two compromised candidates face each other. One way Tulsi could blunt this attack would be by swearing NOT to run as a third party candidate. If she does, great. If she doesn't, well, draw your own conclusions.
    3
  2287. How many people would need to be in on a conspiracy to steal a presidential election across multiple states?
    3
  2288.  @vforwombat9915  Mail-in ballots leaned heavy Democratic because Democrats didn't want to vote in person because we're in a freaking pandemic that Republicans, at the urging of their "leader" didn't take seriously. This was predictable. And how do we know that it was predictable? Because it was PREDICTED. Go to the YouTube search bar and enter the terms "red mirage, blue shift" and you'll see many videos posted well in advance of the election saying that exactly this thing would happen.
    3
  2289. He'd probably like it.
    3
  2290. If Pence takes over.
    2
  2291. It took a while for the opposition to COVID mitigation strategies to crystalize and we still lost hundreds of thousands. My fear is a new, worse virus emerging with the "battle lines" being already in place.
    2
  2292. Republicans don't see Putin's Russia as a hostile power, they see it as a role model.
    2
  2293. Didn't Manchin vote to confirm?
    2
  2294.  @robinsss  Correlation may not be causation, but it'll do.

  2295. "Herd immunity" is an outcome, not a strategy.
    2
  2296.  @carter7944  Canada would be like having an apartment over a meth lab.
    2
  2297. The Democratic party is everybody from AOC to Joe Manchin. The only Republicans who are anti-trump are the ones they haven't purged yet.

    2
  2302. OK, he does make that point at the end.
    2
  2303. They weren't "pushed back" into the nursing homes. The homes were told that they weren't going to be allowed to bar their own residents from returning after hospitalization.
    2
  2304. Put the two candidates in sound-proof booths and shut off the mike when it's not their turn.
    2
  2305.  @JustBRett69  The progressive talk station in Detroit was bought by Bane Capital (Mitt Romney's company), taken off the air and the tower demolished.
    2
  2306. You know, I could almost buy the whole Satanic cult of pedophiles running the world thing, but when they try to cast trump as the savior I knew they were nuts.
    2
  2307. Still an assault against an individual rather than on our society as a whole.
    2
  2308. trump is BOTH the symptom AND the problem. Maybe folks are in the mood for a little bit of "conventional".

  2310. Hartmann's right more often than you're wrong.
    2
  2311. Thanks for your opinion, comrade.
    2
  2312. The accelerationist mindset is one of the problems that we have. By the time that "trump finishes what he's started" the world might be burning.
    2
  2313. I've heard 1-6 called "The Beer Gut Putsch".
    2
  2314. One term is an aberration. Two is a pattern.
    2
  2315. Criticizing someone rather than addressing the content of their message is called "Argumentum Ad Hominom". And when something has a Latin name, you know it's been around for a while. Nice to see that the classics never go out of style.
    2
  2316. "They will get ugly and violent." Well, to be fair, they're halfway there already.
    2
  2317. Bernie's an independent. He doesn't face primaries.
    2
  2318. I literally can not think of a crime with a worse risk/return ratio than voter fraud. Who's going to risk going to jail just to run up the Dem total in CA?
    2
  2319.  @tedbishop  Cool.
    2
  2320. I found a copy of that rag at a restaurant my wife and I go to sometimes. Could not believe how whacky it was. But it did have a 16 number Sudoku that I was actually able to beat so it wasn't a total loss.
    2
  2321. Wasn't there a heart attack vic?
    2
  2322.  @GuyronBarnes-og2co  He's endorsed Biden.

  2326. If they believe that trump was re-elected in 2020, he isn't eligible to run in 2024 due to the two-term limit.
    2
  2327. the Stone appointment would come if trump were to be elected again.
    2
  2328.  @greeneyedlady5580  That just adds to his cred w/Republicans. I've been using Ron Disastrous.
    2
  2329. What's your point?

  2330. Anybody you know have their guns taken away when Obama was president? When Clinton was president?
    2
  2331. They could also be charge under the law making it illegal to cross state lines to incite a riot. That was, us old lefties will recall, the same law under which the Chicago 8 were charged.
    2
  2332. They're already living in their own private Idaho.
    2
  2333.  Dennis Young  If Thom sounds over the top, it's because reality has gone over the top.
    2
  2334. Darn, I had my heart set on an Antifa secret decoder ring. Seriously though, if they declare Antifa to be a terrorist organization, anybody who opposes fascism could be declared a terrorist sympathizer. Including Thom.
    2
  2335.  @jonnywishbone1342  Or trump's.
    2
  2336. That's the argument they were making.
    2
  2337. "Turpentine covered balls"! That's gotta hurt.
    2
  2338. They may wave the flag and say all the "right" things, but when they're done they'll throw this country over their shoulder like an empty beer can.
    2
  2339. They will embrace the flag (in trump's case literally), sing the songs, say the words, but it's all show for the masses. When they've sucked this country dry, they'll toss it over the shoulder as you might an empty beer can.
    2
  2340. I have heard that same allegation made about every two-term president, regardless of party, going back to Tricky Dick.

  2341.  @ronschafer4533  Not if you paid me.
    2
  2342. The problem isn't the guns or the shooters. It's the guns and the shooters. You're never gonna get all of the answer out of half of the problem.
    2
  2343. Would "shootees" be an acceptable term?
    2
  2344. C.H.U.D. was a documentary.
    2
  2345. Socialism is what Republicans call it whenever you want to spend the people's money on, you know, the people.
    2
  2346. This just in: Cops carry guns.
    2
  2347. Reelection by insurrection?
    2
  2348.  @marccoutinho3916  Like millions of my fellow citizens I, at least, have lived a fairly innocuous life. As for Mr. Limbaugh, his greatest positive contribution to the world will be as compost.
    2
  2349. False dichotomy. Democracy from "Demos" meaning the people. Republic from "Publica" meaning the public. Not much of a difference there, is there?
    2
  2350. The aspects of conservatism that you found admirable aren't adhered to by today's right anyway.
    2
  2351. I'm going to show up with a "Super Soaker", wearing a sign that says: "You look just as stupid".
    2
  2352. I don't want to put a sheep up against trump.
    2
  2353. White flight did hurt the city, but black flight didn't help either as African-Americans of means moved to inner-ring suburbs like Southfield and Oak Park.
    2
  2354. It has occurred to me that trump may just be a transitional figure, a Kerensky or a Hindenburg. Who will come along once he has demonstrated his inability to Drain The Wall, or Swamp Her Up or whatever the current three word platitude de jour happens to be?
    2
  2355. Pictures of your female ancestors?
    2
  2356. Wait a minute. Sure, you can "require" old people to work by denying them benefits, but will they be able to get/keep jobs unless you do something about age discrimination.
    2
  2357. How hard is it to go from Ohio to Michigan? That's an open border.
    2
  2358. Everybody's ex is.
    2
  2359. Sorry, but even dead white children will not change their minds unless it's actually THEIR children.
    2
  2360. Interesting about the start of the SA. Just as interesting how they met their end. The so-called "Night of the Long Knives". Wonder if the same thing will happen here. A "mass shooting" that takes out a bunch of, say The "Proud Boys". Attribute it to Antifa, kill two birds with one stone. The fact-resistant masses will buy it bigly.
    2
  2361.  @TennesseeJed  And he could still run if he was. Eugene Debs did it.
    2
  2362. Dejoy running the Post Office, when he's not battling Superman.
    2
  2363. They don't care about people. You want they should care about dogs.
    2
  2364. Thom doesn't say that. He says that if trump COULD do so, he would.
    2
  2365. You can poop in a gold toilet, but it's still poop.
    2
  2366. Makes me glad I don't have kids and am old.
    2
  2367. Nothing scares a sane man more than an opponent who acts like a crazy man.
    2
  2368. I promise you that while they're pushing the three Rs and only the three Rs for the masses that their kids are learning about every "theory" under the sun.
    2
  2369. They're not that competent.
    2
  2370. When I was young, there was a local talk radio station that alternated liberal and conservative hosts. It actually worked pretty well. Folks would listen to and call both sets of hosts. Those who say that the fairness doctrine would kill talk radio are wrong.
    2
  2371. Why do you all say "Russia" three times? Extra advertising for Vlad?
    2
  2372. Is it possible that this guy is Mossad. After all, there's no love lost between Biden and Bibi.
    2
  2373. While I haven't been in one since this whole business started, the fact is that SO many local hobby shops have closed over the years that HL is often the "only game in town" for supplies. I avoid them when I can, but patronize them when I must.
    2
  2374. the simple fact is that the uber-rich don't even think of themselves as Americans. They regard themselves as residents of the Republic of Net Worth.
    2
  2375. No, operate under the assumption that there's no such thing as a "trump state".
    2
  2376. Is there technology that can identify the country of origin for internet posts?
    2
  2377. Actually they don't start with women, they specifically start with black women, like any that are in a movie or something. Once they're cool with that, they move on to women generally then whoever.
    2
  2378. Flood the jails, swamp the courts.
    2
  2379.  @randolphgarrison6511  Sort of a joke on my part, like the old bumper sticker that said: "Illiterate: Write for help".
    2
  2380. The problem is that the people who bought that line of bilge are now elected Republican officials themselves and they were never let in on the fact that it was a scam. They actually believe it.
    2
  2381. There ARE no "good" explanations for why conservatives support the things they do. Any truthful description of what they do and what they want is going to be an insulting one.
    2
  2382.  @contextmatters8243  How about a "none of the above" option. If "none of the above" "wins" you hold another election with new candidates.
    2
  2383. Hey, your side doesn't even get peoples names right.
    2
  2384. Indeed. trump is a PERFECT representation of his supporters and who they'd be if they could get away with it.
    2
  2385. It was a lie that people could be property. It is also a lie that property can be people.
    2
  2386. Nothing to say about it. Separation of powers.
    2
  2387. I would remind the caller that Democrats have outperformed the polls in every election since 2020. Remember the Red Wave that wasn't?
    2
  2388. We can't let the schools be controlled by folks who think "The Flintstones" was a documentary.
    2
  2389. Exactly. It's not like charges are mutually exclusive.
    2
  2390. I remember an episode of your show that basically predicted the use of the 12th amendment, duplicate slates of electors, the whole shebang. Wish I could find it.
    2
  2391.  @tonywilson4713  "Accepting responsibility" is what his whole thing is about these days. Well, and the money's good too. But, hey, a guy has to make a living what with being disbarred and all.
    2
  2392. And vice versa.
    2
  2393. Compare Gaetz and Jordan.

  2394. "Whenever you ask a question that starts with 'why', nine times out of ten the answer's money."-Spider Robinson
    2
  2395. Kruschev was a rational actor. Putin, I'm not so sure about.
    2
  2396. I've been hearing some grumblings about a white/Asian alliance. Sort of "the light races against the dark races". Anybody else?
    2
  2397. Aren't you due in court, Donald?
    2
  2398. Democrats hold the Senate. Democrats take the House. The Senate selects Tim Walz as VP. Speaker Jeffries refuse to schedule a vote of the House to select a President. The office of President is declared vacant on J20. Tim Walz becomes President.
    2
  2399. Why lock up (or worse) someone like Thom when you can simply make sure that no one really gets to hear him or that voices like his become so rare that they're perceived by the masses to be outliers? I used to listen to Thom's raido show but the station was purchased by Bain Capital (Mitt Romney's outfit) who didn't even bother to change the format. They just took it off the air and tore down the tower. Can't make money doing that, guys.
    2
  2400. Presidenting.
    2
  2401.  @takeahike2993  We took down TWO presidents, pal. This one's on you.
    2
  2402. The big impact of this will be mostly on ugly women who will get hassled over using the can.
    2
  2403. Democrats want to make things better for everyone, even if it makes things better for Republicans. Republicans want to make things worse for Democrats, even if it makes things worse for everyone.
    2
  2404. I used to think that racism was totally learned behavior, but Lately I've come to wonder if there's more to it than that. I think that we might all have hard-wired into our brains a tendency toward the us/them mentality going back to our hunter/gatherer days because suspicion of the stranger was a survival trait. What did primitive man have to fear from the stranger or strangers. First, that they would kill you (resulting in immediate death). Second, that they would steal your food (resulting in medium term death). Thirdly, that they would abduct the tribes women (resulting in long term death). These three "primal fears" echo today in the "concerns" expressed about minority groups, fear of crime, job loss, and interracial "mingling". So, what is to be done about this? Well, as man as socially progressed the group defined as "us" has grown at each stage, from the family, to the tribe, to the clan, to the city-state, to the nation-state. The more you see that you have in common with a "them", the more likely you are to see them as an "us". This has been observed in bigots cheering for the black athlete as long as he's with the "home team". The ultimate expression of that progress is when we see all of humanity as the "us" and no longer need a "them".

  2405.  @maxpowers3494  Anybody who thinks women don't lie: I've got three words. Sarah Huckabee Sanders.
    2
  2406. "Overturning the last election" would make Hillary president. Anybody who thinks that's going to happen is an idiot. Anybody who knows it's not going to happen but who makes that argument anyway is a liar.
    2
  2407. Income inequality always is resolved, either by war, revolution or confiscatory taxation. Take your pick.
    2
  2408. He's learned to fake some emotional traits, but Ted Bundy could do that.
    2
  2409. The thing about people wearing masks is that you have no idea of who is actually under the masks. I can't help wondering how many of the "Antifa" folks are incognito right-wing provocateurs. I remember Abbie Hoffman saying that he could always tell the undercover cops because they were the one calling the loudest for violence. (Well, that and the haircuts.)
    2
  2410. Read a book in the seventies called "The Burning" in which the US came under control of an anti-intellectual group called "The Lowbrow Movement". Seemed like a satire at the time. Not now.
    2
  2411. Some of those other countries scan people for fevers as they walk into buildings.
    2
  2412. Carlson, undoubtedly, would react negatively to "Honest".
    2
  2413. Leave it to trump to try to bribe somebody......with taxpayer dollars.
    2
  2414. Their ideal society is "Walking Dead" without the zombies.
    2
  2415. Remember in the 2020 debate when trump told the proud boys to "stand back and stand by"? Remember the "I can't believe he said that" look on Biden's face. That's what he looked like all last night.
    2
  2416. This years ceremonies are going to be packed.
    2
  2417. Please remind these idiots that illegal immigrants CAN'T vote.
    2
  2418. It just isn't evenly distributed yet.
    2
  2419. The problem isn't too many poor people, but too few rich. Bust up the fortunes. This would be a better country if for every billionaire we had a thousand millionaires instead.
    2
  2420. What any political system CALLS itself is irrelevant. Don't forget the 239th Rule of Aquisition: Never be afraid to mislabel a product.
    2
  2421. Go back and read (or watch the movie) "Seven Days in May". Then tell yourself it can't happen here.
    2
  2422. The thought of Election day violence occurred to me some time ago.
    2
  2423. Cruz: Is every conflict racial? Jackson: Uh, you do see my husband over there?
    2
  2424. Lev and Igor-Or as SNL called them "these two Shreks".
    2
  2425. I'm guessing her favorite cereal is Coco-puffs.
    2
  2426. Mansonism.
    2
  2427. I don't think they'll get their money back.
    2
  2428. The (only) nice thing about the Electoral College is that it confines problems to state or two or three. (FL in 2000 for example). With a pure popular vote I could see a future trump asking sec'ys of state in multiple states to "find" more votes for him, and many would not have the spine of GA officials in 2020.
    2
  2429. Rudy knows what the life expectancy of a former prosecutor would be behind bars.
    2
  2430. He did and I've wished I could find that old video.
    2
  2431. Only difference between these folks is that the guy in Kenosha pulled the trigger.
    2
  2432. The question is how long before it's unsafe to say otherwise.
    2
  2433. It's the latest iteration of "it'll go away like magic".
    2
  2434. Had Marx only written his critique of capitalism he would be highly regarded but then he wrote the Communist Manifesto. Perfect diagnosis of the problem, followed by the totally wrong prescription.
    2
  2435. Lay out what you want an economic system to do. Once you've done that, I don't care if you call it Socialism, Capitalism, or Fred. Tell us what you want it to do and we'll judge from there.
    2
  2436. Has anyone checked his stock portfolio to see if he's got $$$ in any of the companies that make that stuff.
    2
  2437. Maybe we shouldn't tax the rich AT ALL. Then EVERYBODY would want to become rich and would work their butts off to get there and we'd take in tons of tax money. (I'm being sarcastic here before anybody chews me out.)
    2
  2438. That's for the benefit of any conservatives who wander in.
    2
  2439. I do demand better, better than Jill Stein.
    2
  2440. I didn't see it so it didn't happen. Yeah, right.
    2
  2441. Be careful what you wish for. If you think public cops are bad, wait till you meet private ones.
    2
  2442. Buy this magazine or I'll shoot this dog.
    2
  2443. John?
    2
  2444. That is an interesting question. We actually had a similar case here in Michigan. Can't remember the guys name but a State Supreme Court Justice died shortly after being reelected. The outgoing Governor (Republican) appointed a replacement. Then on January 1st the incoming Governor (Democratic) argued that said appointment only applied to the balance of the deceased justice's term and not to the NEW term beginning January 1st and appointed somebody else. That was a lot of fun. (The action of the incoming Governor was ultimately upheld.)
    2
  2445. He does. It belongs to a journalist.
    2
  2446. Dictatorial regimes, even some with conflicting ideologies, are in cahoots against all democratic nations. We need to do likewise.
    2
  2447. Am I the only one who finds it ironic that the people pushing "herd immunity" are the ones that call US sheep?
    2
  2448. Don't expect goose-stepping and stiff-arm salutes. American fascists know how enamored people are to the forms of democracy. So we will have elections, but they won't be fair. We will have a press, but it won't be free. We will have a judiciary, but it won't be independent. We'll have all the forms of democracy, but none of the substance.
    2
  2449.  @chachacha2023  Very cogent argument.
    2
  2450. Remember, the Democratic majority in the Senate hangs on the continued good health of some really, really old people.
    2
  2451. Home Depot
    2
  2452. A modest proposal: Put out a revenue-neutral tax bill that raises top marginal rates but reduces taxes on the middle class. And make the Republicans oppose it.
    2
  2453. His playing "My Way" was a posthumous middle finger to Frank Sinatra as well.
    2
  2454. Words that are always appropriate.
    2
  2455.  @randibgood  Oh, I read plenty. In fact, my earlier statement was a quote (unattributed, sorry) from a story by Harlan Ellison.
    2
  2456. A court full of "originalists" should not rule that corporations are people since the founders didn't even believe that all people were people.
    2
  2457.  @vincentvanmeow  And they say kids don't want to wear masks.
    2
  2458.  @vincentvanmeow  I think the child tells you.
    2
  2459. Hey, you've got thirty more, don't you?
    2
  2460. Elvis? Think he's dead.
    2
  2461. You know, the other guys have an "ic" in their name, too. Next time someone says "Democrat party" call them the Republans. See how they like it.
    2
  2462. I can solve a "cube" up to 4x4x6.
    2
  2463. In PS 101 I was taught about something my prof called "slippage", whereby someone takes something you already don't like and links it in your mind to something that they want you not to like.
    2
  2464. If you want to engage in violence on behalf of MAGA be aware that they will not support you. They will call you gay like the guy that hammered Paul Pelosi. They will call you ANTIFA like the Jan 6th rioters. They will call you a fed, like they did Ray Epps. They will not support you.
    2
  2465.  Jack London  Can you advocate overthrowing an administration that hasn't actually taken office yet?
    2
  2466. I'm pretty sure of two things. The first is that he will speak on the subject, the second is that FOX won't like what he says.
    2
  2467.  @JAndy-jy5fp  Now?
    2
  2468. Roddenbery's estate should sue over that insignia.
    2
  2469. The wife of the President elect.
    2
  2470. Most rational comment in this entire section.
    2
  2471. How many?
    2
  2472.  @clottadams5028  TV and internet made school essential.
    2
  2473. trump: All these Republicans are endorsing Ka-MA-la. What will I do? RFK Jr: Hold my bear.
    2
  2474.  @YT-ml8gz  Do you care that the term "Killary" (and Hildebeast) originated in Russian troll farms? But YOU weren't influenced by their operations, right?
    2
  2475. Mommas, don't let your babies grow up to be Proud Boys.
    2
  2476. I've said it when trump had big crowds, I said it when Harris did. Crowd size doesn't get a vote. I remember 1988. Mike Dukakis had some big crowds in the closing days of the campaign.
    2
  2477. Karmala!
    2
  2478.  @sherryberry4577  Or they simply got tired of being called that and just decided to BE it.
    2
  2479. He didn't lie, he changed his mind in light of new facts.
    2
  2480. Presidents don't dial numbers. Someone does it for them and just puts the call through when you come on the line.
    2
  2481. So? A disgruntled Haley voter?
    2
  2482.  @silvermaple7779  I have my talents but sewing isn't one of them. I'd rather buy a good one than make a crappy one.
    2
  2483. Here's an idea. They send us their left wingers, we send them our right wingers.

  2488. Yes, three.

    2
  2490. Some folks only need to see the thumbnail to learn all they need.
    2
  2491. On what basis?
    2
  2492. He is an old man. So's trump, Bernie, and Bloomberg.
    2
  2493. That dude was just standing there.
    2
  2494. Never again?
    2
  2495. To be fair, he probably signed with just the "H" because he can't spell his full name.
    2
  2496.  @kerri759  They've needed a new token liberal since Alan Colmes died.
    2
  2497. Reality is not subject to popular consensus.
    2
  2498.  @jimbofergus  Matt Gaetz thinks his girls were 18 because he's counting the nine months they were in the womb.
    2
  2499.  @dubiousspacehamster3833  My God. Logic.
    2
  2500.  True Irony  Since you speak of reality. How does one go about avoiding Kryptonite which is, after all, a fictional substance. Talk about true irony.
    2
  2501.  @GGG2OO0  Never gotten into anime but I do read science fiction. Someone once called SF a vaccine against future shock and I've gotta admit that very little that happens in the world surprises me anymore. Space stations, heart transplants, big screen tv, a black president are all things that I encountered long ago on the printed page. Even trump was foretold in "It Can't Happen Here", "The Dead Zone" and "The Hell Candidate". The circumstances that produced him in "The Burning" by James Gunn.
    2
  2502. Not even then. Public employees are replaceable.
    2
  2503. And yet, they do...............still.
    2
  2504. Election officials did not "change laws", they may have changed procedures and did so after advice of in-house legal people. But hey, put it all on the table. Voter suppression and gerrymandering too. Knee-capping the Post Office, restricting drop boxes, etc.
    2
  2505. Laugh-a while you can.
    2
  2506. I've not voted for him three times.
    2
  2507. He's been disbarred. I think the ship on attorney/client privilege has sailed.
    2
  2508. And since he's acknowledged being a nationalist, I guess that makes him a social nationalist or something like that.
    2
  2509.  @Kitsuragi556  Thanks for actually getting my point, even if you disagree with it. That's more than many do.
    2
  2510. Et tu, Barack?
    2
  2511. The brain worm turns.
    2
  2512. They're not inconsistent. Back in 1980 Carter said "More Americans are working than ever before." Reagan said "More Americans are out of work than ever before." Both statements were true (due to population growth).
    2
  2513.  @danielglover1453  It says insurrection or rebellion against the same (meaning the Constitution). Given that the Constitution outlines the expiration date of the presidential term, it is arguable that trump's attempt to, shall we say, overstay his welcome constituted such "rebellion".
    2
  2514. YOUR America, perhaps.
    2
  2515.  @djabroni_brochacho4644  "Hippie"? The sixties are calling, they want their insults back.
    2
  2516. George W., pay attention.
    2
  2517. Pence: "We trusted the Governors." Yeah, like the Governor of Missouri?
    2
  2518. Which Democrat has said that if they lose that's proof that the election is rigged?
    2
  2519. "Are we the baddies?'
    2
  2520. Until those who make the law, and enforce the law live within the law, there can be no order.
    2
  2521. What's a lovong?
    2
  2522. Only from China, not from Europe, which is where the NY outbreak came in from.
    2
  2523. I'm not worried about false positives. I'm worried about false negatives.
    2
  2524. Appalling ignorance in following comments.
    2
  2525. John DeLancy?
    2
  2526. I call him evil Donny Osmond.
    2
  2527. So who's worse? Someone who kills, say, five people or someone like evil Donny Osmond here who annoys thousands?
    2
  2528. If you believe that, add the word "equally".
    2
  2529. And even after.
    2
  2530.  Mike Bulu  At least I've mastered homonyms.
    2
  2531.  @raychealcos9155  At least I don't "refute" arguments that nobody ever made.
    2
  2532.  @ericburton3963  And that was because the Republicans weren't even looking at his lower court picks either.
    2
  2533. Back then they'd lie and you could believe it.
    2
  2534. Everybody says that the violence helps trump but you say that Democrats are inciting it to force trump out. Can't have it both ways.
    2
  2535. I don't care if she sounds like Gilbert Gottfried. Her and Biden are still preferable to Wussolini and his pet ambulatory Ken doll.
    2
  2536. A lot of trump's charges should be greeted merely with derisive laughter.
    2
  2537. Covidiots.
    2
  2538. He didn't die of the gunshot wound. He died because of blood loss.
    2
  2539. Given the location, I'd be surprised as heck if it wasn't a white kid.

  2540.  Joe Bama  Probably isn't 4 black folks in that whole town.
    2
  2541. I think, given all that's occurred recently, that the cops were probably pretty tense.
    2
  2542. Prioritize the vaccinated. If God helps those who help themselves, so too should the health care system/
    2
  2543.  @stephenkolostyak4087  The why doesn't matter. The fact that it is is what matters. Instead of showing those states as solid red they should be white with red dots, like measles.
    2
  2544. Anthony Hopkins has played other parts.
    2
  2545.  @Lolophobia  More folks caught it than I expected.

    2
  2556. It should be noted that Newsom's failure to follow his own directives says nothing at all about the wisdom of those directives.
    2
  2557. The general lockdowns were used initially because we didn't know as much about the virus then. Now we do, so targeted shut-downs are more appropriate. Worked in MI until the state supreme court (on a suit filed by Republican legislators, thanks guys) suddenly decided that the 75 year old law was unconstitutional. Now, we're right up there with everybody else.
    2
  2558. That's what "out of control" means. It keeps getting worse until someone actually, you know, does something about it.
    2
  2559. It is no coincidence that Marx's observation that religion is the opiate of the masses predated the advent of televised sport.
    2
  2560. We didn't send "billions of dollars". We sent equipment, bordering on obsolete, which we then replaced with new materiel, made in America by American workers.
    2
  2561. SNL loves the swamp. It's a source of a lot of good material for them.
    2

    2
  2563. I got it, even if no one else does.

    2
  2565.  david white Only mental midgets.
    2
  2566. I have never understood the concept of being proud of being white or black or Asian. It's like me being proud of being tall. It's your genetic make-up, fool.
    2
  2567. Dan Crenshaw (R-Gerrymander) has a point.
    2
  2568. Boy, the comments on this video are comedy gold.

    2
  2570. Is "crerp" just a misspell of "creep" or is it some new rightie insult? (It's hard to keep up.)
    2
  2571. Life has become a Michael Crichton novel.
    2
  2572. Can't help what your voice sounds like.
    2
  2573. the best way to go after corruption isn't by going after the corrupt. It's by going after the corruptors.

    2
  2579.  @ademsap  Sorry, I did not intend to offend any Albanians, I was merely using them as a possible example of someone who COULD, in the absence of effective safeguards, interfere in an election. As for the Israelis, I have made a similar posts before and had mentioned them there. My point was that in the absence of effective safeguards ANYBODY could interfere in our elections and we'd never be able to sort out who got how much help from who (or is that whom). Maybe in the future I should do what Scott Adams did and just make up a country. How's Turdistan sound?
    2
  2580. Juries are chosen from the place that the crime is committed.
    2
  2581. And he would appoint people to head agencies who actually believed in the mission of those agencies. Imagine a Justice Department led by someone who believed in justice or an EPA led by someone who beiieved in protecting the environment. And he wouldn't replace RBG with a Gorsuch/Kavenaugh clone.

    2
  2594. I get a pension and social security. I have not been impacted by the pandemic.................financially. I have been impacted however. I can't see my former coworker, with whom I'd have lunch monthly. I can't see friends, some of whom I'd meet with every few months, people whom I've known since Jr. High and one of whom will not be with us going forward, thanks to COVID. My wife and I would go to library sales. Dozens of people in a small room, can't do that anymore. Can't even go out for dinner without risking it being your "last meal" (Not exactly, but you know what I mean.) Keep the money, I want my effin' life back.
    2
  2595. Ah, yes. The "fallacy of the excluded middle".

  2601. Hey, guys. She's going to be single soon.
    2
  2602. I read one comment where they accused him of "looming over her". As if it's his fault that he's a foot taller than she is. I guess that's what they mean by "uppity".

    2
  2611. What's that black and yellow flag about?
    2
  2612. Eat the bugs?
    2
  2613. I wouldn't compare Sanders and trump directly but there are undeniable similarities among their followers. The cult of personality, the unreasoning blindness to opposing viewpoints, etc.
    2

    2
  2621. You can't carry a sign in the state capitol. If they can exercise their second amendment rights, why can't I exercise my first?
    2
  2622. You know, there are candidates that seem to have on-line support disproportionate to their "real world" support, just as trump did in 2016. Bernie is one, but that's understandable as he's been around for a while and has good organization. Andrew Yang is another, and that's understandable too because he's something of a novelty and novelties always attract enthusiastic followers. Tulsi is a third and I couldn't figure out where it was coming from, until I did. Basically, I came to the same conclusion as Hillary about a month or so ago.
    2
  2623.  @baxtersanchez317  The allegation is the Russians.
    2
  2624.  @baxtersanchez317  I think the implication wasn't that she was being groomed as a asset but s a potential third-party candidate.

    2
  2656. How many kinds of idiot can this man be at one time?
    2

    2
  2658. @Mike Weaver Why create new lies when the old ones can just be repeated?
    2
  2659. You don't like them riding them on the sidewalk. You don't like them riding them in the street. What are they supposed to do? Float in mid-air?
    2
  2660. Problem is, they'd enjoy being probed.
    2
  2661. That was Lauren.
    2
  2662. In the final analysis you can't give a date because the behavior of the virus is dependent on the behavior of the people which is, in the final analysis, unpredictable.
    2
  2663. Everything, EVERYTHING, progressives complain about Biden over, trump would be worse for.
    2
  2664. Generally speaking, that fact that some folks might want someone fired for illegitimate reasons does not mean that there might not be legitimate reasons for firing said person.
    2
  2665. I thought that was Argentina. No, wait, that's Nazis.
    2
  2666. You're shooting people all over the place. And if you don't stop, they will want to take your guns away.
    2
  2667. You can always tell when it's one side faking to be the other. The language isn't quite right.
    2
  2668. Fine people on both sides, I'm sure.
    2
  2669. Glad you can make the distinction, because they don't. After all, them folks all look alike to trump and his base.
    2
  2670. One way you could at least partially finance something like this is by requiring top companies (IE: Fortune 500) to pay a portion of their taxes (and every damned one of them OUGHT to be paying taxes)in the form of non-voting common stock. Then, as those companies grew richer so would the funding source for the UBI.
    2
  2671. What does that say about the folks who post here?
    2

    2
  2678. Would you rather have them slugging each other?
    2
  2679.  @arautus  He's their bread and butter. Kind of like Rush with Bil Clinton back in '96.
    2
  2680. The term "Killery" originated by Russian propaganda. Bet you thought you were unaffected.
    2
  2681. Without an agitator in your washer, your clothes wouldn't get cleaned.
    2
  2682. The difference between trump and ALL previous presidents is that they pursued the nation interest as THEY saw it. (Even Bush, even NIXON). trump is only out for himself. He'd throw any one of his own KIDS under the bus if it came to that (especially Eric).
    2

    2
  2692. Maybe he just held his breath too long.
    2
  2693. "THE" left didn't do that. ONE guy did. You're falling into the "myth of the monolithic opposition" trap.
    2
  2694. Frank Gorshin approves.
    2
  2695. Ron Paul's son and Mitt Romney's niece also criticized Hunter Biden.

    2
  2697. This isn't about the high-paid ones.

    2
  2699. They?
    2
  2700. I guess that given the Antifa precedent that President Biden will be giving the same treatment to the Proud Boys and their ilk. Sauce for the goosesteppers, eh?

  2706. I don't watch porn with anybody. Kind of defeats the purpose.

    2
  2708. I hope they all go and skip out on the bill from that bedbug farm. Give him a taste of his own medicine.

  2709.  @spiritoflifetruth8089  Name two babies that were actually murdered by Democrats.
    2
  2710. Stay away from the Soylent Brown.

    2
  2713. The two aren't mutually exclusive.

    2
  2718. I saw a flick about this back in the '60s. (The Forbin Project.)
    2
  2719.  @iamprogressivenpc6559 Why, in a country where everybody carries cell phone are there NO videos of all these illegal aliens and dead people voting or folks being bused from polling place to polling place? Because you can't VIDEO stuff that only happens in your HEAD.
    2

  2727. "In the kingdom of the blind..................."
    2
  2728. This "dark thug" is an ex-cop.
    2
  2729. Jeffrey Neville might disagree. Jeffrey Neville is the Flint Police officer who was stabbed in the neck at Flint Bishop International Airport by a terrorist wannabe. Turns out the guy had tried to buy a gun but couldn't pass the background check. Officer Neville, and incidentally who knows how many other people who were at the airport that day, is alive today because the gun laws _worked_.
    2
  2730. yeah, now. It was added because of conversations like this one.
    2
  2731. Despite his awareness of people's concern about his age, Joe Biden continues to get older every day. How contemptuous of the people can you get?
    2
  2732. Being "proud" (or resentful) of being white (or black, or Hispanic, or Asian, or Irish, or Italian) is like being proud of being tall, or left-handed. It's your genetic make-up, big whoop.

    2
  2742. Subliterate poltroon.

    2
  2744. These "Alpha Males" can't use the Alpha Bet.
    2
  2745. SLOWS the spread.

    2
  2747. I know, where's his watermelon?
    2
  2748. Both sides have and do engage in gerrymandering. In fact, one of the three cases before the court is one of Dem gerrymandering to the detriment of Republicans. (The other two, obviously, are the reverse.) But what has happened is that the computer technology that enables this has improved SO much that it is much less an art (despite calling this guy a Michelangelo) and much more of a science. Furthermore, the bit about manipulating questions on the census is what makes this case a lot more egregious.

  2765. In the final analysis, a president derives his power (not his authority, mind you, but his power) from the fact that people follow his orders. If the men with guns and uniforms decide to follow trump, then he's president in fact if not in law.

  2766. It used to be that guys thought that sex was something that women put up with. Now we know that they enjoy it as much as we do. Good luck putting that Jeannie back in the bottle.

  2767. Biden would beat trump. People will vote for a benevolent dotard over a malicious one.
    2
  2768. the Amendment says "insurrection or REBELLION against the same", the words "the same" clearly referencing the Constitution. The Constitution spells out when a president's term ends. Arguably, then, trump's attempts to, shall we say, overstay his welcome, constitute rebellion against the Constitution. (Taking into account not just the events of J6 itself, but the entire spectrum of his post election behavior.)

    2
  2801. The power in the hands of our elected officials does not belong to them. It belongs to the people. They're allowed to exercise it in the interest of the people. They are not allowed to use that power in a effort to maintain themselves in power. This is why trump's quid pro quo is wrong. This is why partisan gerrymandering is wrong.

  2808. That's going too far. I'm inclined to forgive the people who voted for him in 2016. They bought the hype, they didn't like Hillary, they wanted to send a message, etc, etc, etc. But voting for him again in 2020, no, not after seeing what he was.

  2860.  @jcindahouse  How, exactly? Oh, wait. I'm sure all the details are on Hunter's laptop. Sometimes when I read the things you guys post, I'm reminded of the time when folks thought that the sun, and everything else, revolved around the Earth. As more and more data became available instead of abandoning the Geocentric model, they would construct more and more elaborate "models" of how the data could be tortured into conforming with that preconception.

But saying that fascists are on the "far left" is absurd. If you believe that, what do YOU call extreme right-wing authoritarians like trump?

  2917. My wife and I met recently with a cemetery employee (making our arrangements, as we all should). We asked about Covid. She told us that as the virus was at its peak here that they were burying twice as many people a month as they had been during a pre-pandemic month. And this at a time when the state was virtually shut down so greatly fewer auto accidents, on job accidents, etc. She had one woman who was burying her brother (because of covid) when she received a call that a second brother had died from Covid. These people who "think" it's not real because they can't see it or no one they know has died (yet) probably think that testing causes cases. They need to buy a freakin' clue. But on the plus side, I predict a robust market for used motorcycles in the coming few months.

  2926. If, at this point, that laptop were to surface it would be useless to any prosecution due to the amount of time it's been out of H. Biden's possession. If, for instance, there were large amounts of kiddie porn on there, there's would be no way to demonstrate that it wasn't put there by Tucker Carlson.

  2949. Since cooper mention the pizzagate thing, a little bit you might not know. that place wasn't chosen at random. The owner is a big "D" donor, so there's going after him and generally scaring folks who might do likewise. Also he is, or at least was, involved with David Brock, the former right-winger who crossed over. They really don't like that, whole sense of betrayal thing. This info can be confirmed with only a little bit of research. The more you know, the more sense even crazy things make.

  2967. After naming off all those states he should have done the Dean Scream.
    2
  2968.  IceXnk6  Actually that isn't new.
    2
  2969. Tokyo Rose. Hanoi Jane. Moscow Tucker.
    2
  2970. Plus these are destination areas. People go there, frolic, and go home. Corona rides with you, folks.
    2
  2971.  EXTREME MAGA  Sure it does, it tells you what the PEOPLE think.
    2
  2972. Have they walked away or just gone dark?
    2

    2
  2974. They forgot their Tiki Torches.

    2
  2977. Ryan Zinke, everything but the kitchen sinke.
    2
  2978. These folks have zero self-awareness.
    2
  2979. Lot of empty territory there.
    2
  2980.  @SilverSlayer  He only ran to try to evade the other charges.
    2
  2981.  @Pilotpaulie  You have had people arrested for (and convicted for) seditious conspiracy. Maybe that's not "insurrection" but it's sure a kissing cousin.
    2
  2982. Remember that speech of Biden's where he talked about electric boats and sharks? No wait, that was trump.
    2
  2983.  @stevesutton5498  His only purpose would have been to pee in the punchbowl.
    2
  2984. It's so that they can say the polls are wrong.
    2
  2985. You didn't see the footage from today's trump rally, I take it. He did the same thing. Heck, JFK did the same thing once and he was 42 at the time, I think.
    2
  2986. I can actually let that one pass. Them things was creepy.
    2
  2987. Why?
    2
  2988. He meant last April.
    2
  2989. If "restoring confidence" means pandering to loons, then confidence is overrated.
    2
  2990. Why doesn't she have her own channel then?
    2
  2991.  @JohnB3363  "That was then, this is now" has no meaning to these people.
    2
  2992.  Dicky Jones  Staff brought COVID into nursing homes. No known cases of resident-to-resident transmission, at least not in Michigan.

    2
  2995. You feed a monster only at the risk of becoming its next meal.
    2
  2996. The outcome in 2020 was clear, but in 2000 the margin or error within the system was greater than the winning candidate's margin of victory. Both Bush and Gore legit believed they'd won that one.
    2
  2997. They can actually both be gaining ground as undecideds come down on side or the other.
    2
  2998. Interesting fact. Prior to 2000 the networks would switch the colors used to show the parties at every election. It wasn't until then that Red=Republican and Blue=Democrats.
    2
  2999.  @reality6968  Move to one.
    2
  3000. Why are they talking about the Civil War so much? Because they want a do-over.

    2
  3002. He's a scab on the country.
    2
  3003. Democrats have been lucky. We've had two once-in-a-lifetime political leaders, Obama and Bill Clinton.
    2
  3004. At least on that side of the fence.
    2
  3005.  @Vizzi12  No. The power would be centrally produced and piped through existing circuitry, just like power is today. But there would be no hazardous waste or greenhouse gases. I know conservatives are saying: No hazardous waste, where's the fun in that.
    2
  3006. There are sane, decent Republicans. But when they show themselves, their own party votes them out.
    2
  3007. Whoever you are reading this, Pete Buttigieg is smarter than you are.
    2
  3008. Reagan came out against open-carry when he saw the Black Panthers with guns. (No, not the comic book guy, the political organization.)

    2
  3012. It's as safe as where it was. It was stolen from where it was.
    2
  3013. In my experience when something "goes in one ear and out the other" it's generally because there's nothing in between to slow it down.
    2
  3014.  @ryanelbers2127  Yeah, there is an element of doing the right thing for the wrong reason here.
    2
  3015. Maybe he offered those troops to Haley.
    2
  3016. The only difference between Republicans is how far they want to turn back the clock. Some say 1964, some say 1953, some say 1928, some say 1864.
    2
  3017. The ceremonies are going to be packed.
    2
  3018.  Nikolai Collushnikov  There was no "Biden Rule", there was at most a "Biden Suggestion".
    2

    2
  3023. Dealing with a deadly virus is arguably a matter of national defense.
    2
  3024. They cut in-store staff. They have self-checkout lanes. They want everybody to shop online. That way when the "porch pirates" strike, that loss in absorbed by the customer, not the retailer.
    2
  3025. Why hack the votes when you can hack the voters.
    2
  3026. What's the "H" stand for?
    2
  3027. "A tremendous loss of popularity, of which he had little..." If you have LITTLE popularity how do you have a TREMENDOUS loss of it. I swear, I've got houseplants smarter than this guy.
    2
  3028. If Bobert or Vance were in Baldwin's position, they wouldn't even feel bad.
    2
  3029. You misspelled "American".
    2
  3030. Republican Senators selling out. Guess what guys? No one wants to buy.
    2
  3031. The bus could come from another state, doens't mean that the voters did. The bus could have been rented to drive people to the polls and it you've ever rented a car, you know it could be plated anywhere.
    2
  3032. KY would replace him with someone worse, most likely.
    2
  3033. The Mouse vs. The Louse.

    2
  3036. We've seen this movie before and it doesn't end well.
    2
  3037. Putting butter on pop tarts is UNAMERICAN.
    2
  3038. There is an inverse ratio between what trump says he knows about a given subject and what he actually knows about it. When he says he knows nothing about a subject, he knows everything about it. It works the other way, too. When he says he knows everything about a subject, he knows nothing about that subject. This rule works every time.
    2
  3039. Remember when conservatives were saying that since Biden was elected you wouldn't hear about COVID anymore? That's OK, neither do they.
    2
  3040.  @faithingod5533  Telling people you're a rightie non-thinker...........
    2
  3041. A great man. The only presidential vote I regret is not voting for him in 1980. (Voted for Anderson.)
    2
  3042.  @IAmThatLisa143  Are you just misinformed or an outright liar? https://www.cnn.com/2017/06/14/politics/bernie-sanders-baseball-shooting/index.html
    2
  3043. You're the one with a selective memory. They did that because McConnell wouldn't approve ANY Obama judge nominees. Heck, a lot of them wouldn't even get votes.
    2
  3044.  @kalebjones5581  While I can't put myself in the heads of the Congress at the time, it should be remembered that with Nixon already having been elected twice there was no chance that he could run again.
    2
  3045. What happened when we left Afghanistan was always going to happen when we left Afghanistan. That's half the reason we didn't leave earlier. Oh, of course the details would have been different, perhaps more soldiers killed, perhaps fewer. But war is a chaotic business, even in its ending.
    2
  3046. trumpies lie to pollsters, either from shame, paranoia, or perversity.
    2
  3047. He's always had voice issues. By the end of the campaign in '92 he could barely speak. He's probably been bending folk's ears since he got into town.
    2
  3048. Solid Dem here but the right of free speech does imply a certain right to be heard.
    2
  3049. People who won't wear mask, that's what's useless.
    2
  3050. Wee needed Superman and we get Clark Kent.
    2
  3051.  @ArmchairMagpie  It should be noted that rarely has Communism gotten any kind of foothold in a truly democratic nation. They overthrow right-wing dictatorships (or monarchies, which are about as right-wing as you get).
    2
  3052.  @dandansen571  Biden is also a floor wax and a desert topping.
    2
  3053.  @mountainpride  I can read. Is a "Nazi garage" where you park your Volkswagen?
    2
  3054. Oh, about Hillary. TOTAL EXONERATION.
    2
  3055.  @uprightairtight3512  "Bullshit people" pretty much describes you guys.
    2
  3056. To be fair, it's not like he was there when it happened.
    2
  3057. You could have left that at ".........saw the facts".
    2
  3058. There's recovering and then there's recovering. No data is available on long-term effects for even people who never really showed symptoms because it hasn't been around long-term yet.
    2
  3059.  @EDUARDO-bj9wf  We call him American Dope.
    2
  3060. But if, as a loose cannon, it is fired it will cause more damage and injury from the motion of the recoil.
    2
  3061.  @geraldinespencer8374  Pennywise resents the comparison.
    2
  3062. I don't know if he's a actual fascist, but he's clearly an authoritarian. He comes from a business background and few businesses is run democratically. Unlike previous presidents with business experience, he has no public sector experience to ground him in in democratic traditions.
    2
  3063. Bob Dole once said that it's hard running for President as a sitting Senator. "They can take some of those votes and make it look like you're for cancer."
    2
  3064.  @darkeidholorimeevilgeniusp867  One needn't make the case for Socialism to recognize the flaws with Capitalism (especially as it's practiced here and now).
    2
  3065.  @darkeidholorimeevilgeniusp867  Only Congress people "like her" and not the ones YOU like, eh? And what is it with righties and the almost compulsive making fun of people's names. I mean, I've seen some lefties go with the whole Drumph thing, but you guys are all in on it.
    2
  3066. Drop and give me twenty.
    2
  3067. Pay enough "incentives" to enough companies and you just end up subsidizing your own jobs through higher taxes.
    2
  3068. "Mother ------", no. DAUGHTER ------, maybe.
    2
  3069. I could live with Democratic senators like Joe Manchin who would vote for a Brett Kavanaugh if we had a president like Obama who wouldn't nominate one.
    2
  3070. I'm imagining it right now.
    2
  3071. "Q" as in ST:TNG or "Q" as in James Bond?
    2
  3072. "Noogey-bower"?
    2
  3073. Ironic that a president who wipes his rear with subpoenas claims the mantle of law and order.
    2
  3074. them getting the power.
    2
  3075. The problem will continue as long as sane Republicans vote for crazy Republicans over sane Democrats.
    2
  3076. It's an Illinois station. They're giving it the home town angle.
    2
  3077.  @RowanLovecraft2  Taxidermist need permits. Did not expect to have to look that up today.
    2
  3078. No, to the right.
    2
  3079. The people who play at neutrality are almost worse than the hard-core trumplodytes.
    2
  3080. Neither can the one we have. Yoaz-might!
    2
  3081. Say you don't like him, fine. But to call a guy who was elected to the Senate at 29 years of age, served there for 36 years including a stint as chair of the Foreign Relations committee, and then did 8 as Vice-President unqualified demonstrates an appalling lack of either smarts, decency, or both.
    2
  3082. Then they'd look like the idiots that other people now do.
    2
  3083.  @johnhoran9840  I probably have t-shirts older than her.
    2
  3084. The Purge: GOP Edition.
    2
  3085. the best thing for the Democratic party, that is.
    2
  3086. What part of "breakthrough" don't you understand?
    2
  3087.  @imshaunnurse  Not easy when 90% of elections are a choice between two crooks, two idiots, or one of each.
    2
  3088.  @debbiescott6732  ANY system can turn into a dictatorship, given a lack of an informed public.

    2
  3090.  @cynthiahachman2193  I'm presuming that he has one, but I'm a nice guy.
    2
  3091. Love the replies where these......folks don't recognize their own guy's sarcasm.
    2
  3092. Basically we do. Bernie Dems, Biden Dems, trump Republicans, and Republican Classic (currently leaderless). Seriously, it won't work in a country with the Electoral College unless you have rank choice voting.
    2
  3093.  @TwoBears3  Well, there's what it actually is and then there's what they call it. Anything that's good for actual people gets called communism or socialism.
    2
  3094.  @sardis12videos52  Amen.
    2
  3095. They wrote a book together.
    2
  3096.  @crisveach5822  Not like we don't have geese to spare.
    2
  3097. Not only are they eating pets, they're doing it in the basement of a pizza parlor, right? LOL.
    2
  3098. A law would define it. That's what laws do. Every law has a section consisting of definitions.
    2
  3099. Blunt not being very blunt.
    2
  3100. I'd like the record to reflect that I didn't call Senator Kennedy a knuckle-dragging booger-eater.
    2
  3101. Who muted the sound on this? And some folks say YouTube suppresses their free speech.
    2
  3102. Whatever it was, he got better.
    2
  3103. Haven't you ever watched an action movie? People fire guns at the camera all the time.

  3104. "Dead Germans Are Us"?
    2
  3105. trump: All these Republicans are endorsing Ka-MA-la. What will I do? RFK Jr: Hold my bear.
    2
  3106. You have my condolences. Your family has my sympathy.
    2
  3107. "Everybody" consists only of other trumpies.
    2
  3108. Wasn't he taken into custody? If so, why describe the guy?
    2

  3111.  @mom-says-not-today  tell me how you can catch a virus if both you and the person you'd catch it from are both in your respective homes. LOL
    2
  3112. Your part, and mine, doesn't end Tuesday. Indeed, it may just be beginning.
    2
  3113. Machines aren't biased.
    2
  3114. She aspires to insignificance.
    2
  3115. They should also be trying to repeal the Comstock Act.
    2
  3116. With facts or with BS, it matters.
    2
  3117. Those wrong-track numbers are bru-tal.
    2
  3118. IOKWARDI
    2
  3119.  @ddigiorgio8438  Both are "entitlement" programs, because you get it if you qualify. A thirty year old can't say "I want the money I put into Social Security now". Well, he can say it but it isn't going to happen because there are rules. Same with the other programs you mentioned.
    2
  3120. After all he's done for that virus, too.
    2
  3121. Funny, that's what he tried to do.
    2
  3122. I can only imagine what trump say about this guy.
    2
  3123.  @votefraudjoe997  Rap, genius.
    2

    2
  3126. They know what happened that day, what a commission could answer is what happened the day before, the week before, the month before. Who paid for the buses that brought these folks to DC, for one.
    2
  3127. Standard procedure when encountering a large mob is to let them have their fun until reinforcements arrive.
    2
  3128.  @johannacannata1090  That was the year they seemed to forget that.
    2
  3129. There could be a whole series of "alternative cards".
    2
  3130. It's always like that when there's an incumbent on the ballot. This election is weird because it's almost like there's two incumbents.
    2
  3131. Boot?
    2
  3132. McConnell knows a lot about shut-downs. He's had a couple himself.

  3150. Too easy.
    2
  3151. What do you think you're doing? Bringing rationality to a YouTube comment section.
    2

    2
  3154. Fake people boosting a fake president.
    2
  3155. Paste.
    2
  3156. Fun fact. The terms "Hildabeast" and "Killary" originated at Russian troll farms.
    2
  3157. Having one "option" isn't having any options. Because "option" means CHOICE.
    2
  3158. And members for their churches, consumers for their businesses, and more workers to drive the cost of labor down.
    2
  3159. The difference isn't that some are for murder and others aren't. The difference is that some people think a fetus is a human being and others don't.
    2
  3160. Picked up House seats, despite losing the WH. Minimized losses in the Senate on Election Day, only lost the GA races because of trump's BS. So, yeah.
    2
  3161. Don't fly to Georgia. Take the Midnight Train instead.
    2
  3162. We're still a 50/50 country. There are plenty of folks who would vote for trump's policies if they could get that without all the crazy.
    2
  3163. Please note that as part of one of the stimulus packages Congress included money to help the states modernize their unemployment systems and hire additional staff. trump has not released the funds.
    2
  3164. Perhaps to something more deadly, perhaps to something more benign. But the more people it's in, the greater chance of such mutations taking place. Sounds like another reason for mitigation efforts.

    2
  3172. Kelly or Shapiro. Bashear is a long shot. Cooper is a bore. Kelly has a great resume, but Shapiro is a great campaigner.
    2
  3173.  @Tampahop  don't forget. that guy was yelling "Where's Nancy?", echoing the J6 rioters.
    2
  3174.  @jordyb57  You think they'd act different if it were Biden? It's not the magnitude of the target (in this case a FORMER president), it's about the behavior.
    2
  3175. But sometimes where there is smoke, there is a smoke machine.
    2
  3176.  @jasonburris334  Who said I admired them? I don't even know who they were. I'm just not a big fan of vandalism.

  3229. I see that this latest shooter had been checked out earlier as a possible potential school shooter. I saw that kid in Oxford, MI who did shoot up his school and now I can't help wondering since there are so many young boy-men out there who are so alienated how many of them will leap from thinking about shooting up their school and being universally reviled to pulling a shooting like the Buffalo one where they will have some small amount of support from certain quarters.

  3232. The debate was held in FLINT. Of course, there were going to be questions about the water crisis. Anybody who couldn't figure that out is too STUPID to be president.
    2

  3236. They keep saying it because he keeps doing it.
    2
  3237. If you can't defend trump without attacking Biden, you can't defend trump.
    2
  3238. So the people who complained about unvaccinated people crossing the US southern border are protesting their inability to cross Canada's southern border unvaccinated. Makes sense to me.

  3239. My nickname for Gaetz is "Evil Donnie Osmond".
    2
  3240.    There was the San Beradino that operated with her husband. And there was the woman that tried at YouTube but I don't remember the outcome of that one.
    2
  3241. It's STUNNED!!!!

  3246.  @eb1247  Vote fraud is a federal offense.
    2
  3247. A lot of negative comments about McCain here. You know, YOU may not like him, and that's your right. But the people in Arizona evidently liked him, having elected him to the Senate THREE times. And those were elections where you actually had to get more votes than the other guy in order to win, unlike the one where trump won.

  3250. The idea that the states are the laboratories of democracy sounds good until you realize that that makes you the lab rats.
    2
  3251. It all became undeniable with Pat Buchanan's 1992 convention speech.
    2
  3252. Very good analysis. Dems had taken MI, WI, and PA in every election since 1992 up until 2016. trump's combined margin in those three states would fill a football stadium. His taking those states in 2016 was a fluke, not a trend. Democrats did not need to cheat to win in 2020. They only needed to nominate a candidate who wasn't Hillary Clinton.
    2
  3253. I think now, at his age, they'd be able to fend him off.

    2
  3267. I remember that but I also remember all those folks crowded into big rooms at airports coming back from abroad.
    2
  3268. Actually, all prosecutors decide which laws they will prosecute heavy and which ones they'll prosecute light, or not at all. It's called setting priorities. (Example: Is your state one that still has an anti-adultery law on the books?) Also, DeSantis isn't McDonald's here, the people of his county are.

  3281. It's no mystery. The cities tend more Democratic and just take longer to count their votes because they're short staffed.
    2
  3282. First the Vaseline.
    2
  3283.  @joemcfibbin925  I've explained this multiple times. Biden didn't have big rallies because he didn't want to. Because we were, and still are, in a freakin' pandemic. In fact, I think a lot of folks looked at trumps Covidpalooozas and recoiled in horror. His rallies may have actually COST him votes. As for the way comments go: A) it depends on where you visit. B) internet comments are a perfect example of self-selection. C) Multiple comments can come from the same person. D). Unlike voting, it's not limited to US citizens only. and E) I hate to break it to you, but the internet isn't reality. And, as my favorite TV detective used to say, just one more thing. I don't remember ever seeing spontaneous street parties following the defeat of any other incumbent president. There's your rallies.

  3473. The owner of that pizza place was a prominent Democratic donor. So it was no coincidence that he was target by that whole Pizzagate thing. It was an attempt to not only get him but intimidate other donors with a "This could happen to you" kind of thing. Also he was involved with David Brock, a former right winger who left their side and came over to the Dem side. So, from their perspective, it was a twofer.

  3488.  @ZPositive  One thing that's wrong is that in MI, for example, a 1931 law that nobody living voted for will come back into effect. When a law is invalidated by the Supreme Court it should not spring back from the dead when the court reverses itself decades later. If it's abortion or guns or whatever, they should have to start from scratch.

If they had he would have gone somewhere where trumpies hung out, maybe a NASCAR event or something, rather than shooting a bunch of folks in an urban center where most of his victims were black. Liberals shoot people every day, so do conservatives, but not all those killings are political.

  3520. Diversity and unity are often seen as being in conflict, but are actually sides of the same coin. Diversity without unity can be divisive, but unity without diversity is trivial as you're only "unifying" with others like yourself. It is only in service to a greater unity that the value of diversity can be fully realized.

They must remain standing because they are a monument to a moment in time when some men decided to turn the earth into a graveyard, into it they shoveled all of their reason, their logic, their knowledge, but worst of all their conscience. And the moment we forget this, the moment we cease to be haunted by its rememberance. Then we become the grave diggers.” -Rod Serling

  3569. Capitalism, as understood today, traces its origins to the writings of Adam Smith, an eighteenth century man. Communo-socialism to Karl Marx, a nineteenth century man. We need a new economic paradigm for the twenty-first century and beyond. When I've said this to many of my friends, both on the left and the right, I've heard the idea dismissed as like something out of Star Trek. Well, I've replied, I WATCHED Star Trek during its original run and what I remembered most were the communication devices you could put in your pocket (if they had pockets, that is), the big viewscreen, the thin plastic squares that held tremendous amounts of data (those have already come and GONE) and the medical scanners that could detect sickness without invasive tests. And I can't tell you how much I freaked out the first time I went into a drug store and the entrance doors opened by themselves. It's not only doable, it's inevitable. When automation and computerization result in a structural unemployment rate of 20 to 25 percent, I expect any advocates of classic laissez faire capitalism will find themselves swinging from lampposts. At some point, something's gotta give. Income inequality WILL resolve itself, because it always HAS, either through war, revolution, or confiscatory taxation. I still hear conservative friends of mine saying that old chestnut about how many people are pulling the wagon versus how many people are riding in it. I say, this is 2018, hook a motor to the damned wagon and EVERYBODY can ride.

  3606. It needs to be remembered that people were talking about killing members of Congress. Maybe that was all bluster, but nobody was inclined to take a chance on that. In light of that fact the Capitol cops had to act as if every member of that crowd was a potential assassin.

  3653. To me, the term "neo-liberal" grew out of the early eighties where you had the emergence of political types, as typified by Gary Hart, who were committed to the goals of classic liberalism, but not to the methods previously employed to bring those goals about. When did that become a bad thing?

  3662. So why not tax the wealth of the rich? There is, after all, a tax on the "wealth" of the middle class. The depository of most of the wealth of the middle class is their home, right? And you pay a property tax. And if you don't, they take your house. And poor people pay that tax too as their landlord passes it along as a cost of doing business.
    1
  3663. Capitalism, as understood today, traces its origins to the writings of Adam Smith, an eighteenth century man. Communo-socialism to Karl Marx, a nineteenth century man. I say we need a new economic paradigm for the twenty-first century and beyond. When I've said this to friends, both on the left and the right, I've heard the idea dismissed as like “something out of Star Trek”. Well, I replied, I watched Star Trek during its original run and what I remembered most were the communication devices you could put in your pocket (if they had pockets, that is), the big viewscreen, the thin plastic squares that held tremendous amounts of data (those have already come and gone) and the medical scanners that could detect sickness without invasive tests. And I can't tell you how much I freaked out the first time I went into a drug store and the entrance doors opened by themselves. It's not only doable, it's inevitable. When automation and computerization result in a structural unemployment rate of 20 to 25 percent against the backdrop of a booming economy, I expect any advocates of classic laissez faire capitalism will find themselves swinging from lampposts. At some point, something has to give. Income inequality will resolve itself, because it always has, either through war, revolution, or confiscatory taxation. I still hear conservative friends of mine saying that old chestnut about how many people are pulling the wagon versus how many people are riding in it. I say, this is 2019, hook a motor to the damned wagon and let EVERYBODY ride.

  3666. I know that's true of GWB in 2000, but I think that trump would have taken an Electoral College victory even if you removed those two extra votes per state from his total (and from Hillary's as well, of course). Hillary's margin of victory in the popular vote basically came from piling up "wasted votes" in states that were already in her column.

  3668. All trump supporters ask yourself this question. What will he be like when he no longer needs your votes?

  3669. There is such as thing and it's called "push polls". They're not actual pollsters trying to take the "temperature of the electorate", but employed by candidates to influence the people they talk to. "Would you be less likely to support Jones it you knew he kicked puppies?"

  3687. If it wasn't for the Electoral College, trump could have called Sec'y of States in multiple Republican-controlled states and had them "find" a share of those 8 million votes. Could have happened. At least the Electoral College confines the possibility of shenanigans to a few states. (In 2000, it was just one.)

If trump, again, gets the presidency, but by the electoral college vote only, he would serve two non-consecutive terms. But Cleveland won the popular vote all three times, and trump would have lost it all three times. I don't know if he's the anti-Christ, but he would be the anti-Cleveland.

  3798. I would not be surprised to see mass shootings at polls like happened at the market in Buffalo. Indeed, I'm somewhat surprised that it didn't happen in 2020.

  3800. Has anybody else noticed the "Future Coalition Pac" ads? They look like pro Harris ads but are being microtargeted to certain zip codes with the intent of alienating Arab/Muslim voters.

  3814. How long before the purge becomes "The Purge"? Rumors of mass shootings at a polling place or two could suppress turnout bigly.

  3823. I'm serious here. There are enough votes to elect a Democrat, but we need to get ALL of them. If the people who voted for Ralph Nader in 2000 had voted for Gore, "W" would never have been President and all the folks killed in Gulf War II, Americans and Iraqis alike, would still be ALIVE. If all the folks who voted for Jill Stein in 2016 had voted for Hillary, she would be President NOW. Now, she might be a good president, she might be a bad president, but she would have been good or bad within the NORMAL range of good or bad. Not like this radioactive orange dumpster fire we have now.
    1
  3824. Every time one party loses an election, they divide into two camps. One says we lost because we weren't true to our values. The other says, no, we lost because we weren't enough like the other guys. Some people are saying that if the Dems nominate a Sandersian Socialist that the people in the "middle" will vote for trump again. Others say that if they nominate a Clintonian Corporatist, the base will shrug their shoulders and stay home. Well, they're BOTH right. The Dems need to nominate a candidate who can attract BOTH groups. The only "middle" we need to move to is the middle of our OWN party.

    1
  3828.  @grantjohnston7148  Gerrymandering is the redrawing of districts for political advantage. The state boundaries are what they are. It's not like the republicans are pulling in counties from other states. Laugh at me all you want, but when you're done, reality remains what it is.

  3844. Based on exit polls Hillary should have won Michigan.

  3845. No, they're just not "grand" anymore.
    1
  3846. Every candidate must be asked "Will you vote for trump if he is the nominee?" And if they don't say no, they don't deserve your vote.
    1
  3847. If trump had won and news outlets such as MSNBC and NPR and my local paper were all saying that the election was stolen, yeah, I'd probably believe it, especially given the Republican track record in this regard. But if my Democratic Governor and Democratic Sec'y of State said "No, it's legitimate", yeah, I'd believe THEM.

  3882. I often hear people say that if we did things on a truly democratic basis the Republicans would never win another election. I've even heard Republicans say that by way of justifying voter suppression and other, ahem, anti-majoritarian policies. I say nonsense. The two worst losses by a party in my lifetime where the Republicans in 1964 and the Democrats in 1972. What do you do when you lose that badly? You ask yourself why. You get better candidates, you retool your policies or at least your messaging of those policies. In both cases cited above the party that sustained that loss came back to win the very next election. No party is "finished" or out of it for good. But what is finished are the leaders of that party and they know it.

  3896. Americans have voted for the about the past sixty years for a pluralistic democracy with a robust middle class. We need to recognize that while such a condition is possible, it is not the natural state of a capitalist economy. It needs to be maintained. The natural state of the capitalist economy is like the Christmas Carol which you've probably read or at least seen the animated Mr. Magoo version, with the rich, a small managerial middle class, the working poor and the starving masses.

  4011. My first reaction to seeing this was revulsion and thinking "There ought to be a law". But then I thought it through and realized that this tactic is EXACTLY what we saw from the extreme LEFT in the eighties regarding flag burning. That is, exercising a fundamental right in so wildly inappropriate a fashion which is calculated to create an over-reactive backlash so that they can play victim and whine about repression. We didn't fall for it then and we shouldn't fall for it now.

  4014.  @0649Hayes  I think you meant 2016 there, but I didn't vote for Bernie. I regard myself as about midway between Hillary and Bernie so I crossed over and voted in the Republican primary for John Kasich. So unlike most of my Dem friends, I can say I voted against trump TWICE.

Looked out about half an hour later someone had stopped in front of my house. I figured it was the thief so I got my camera ready. Nope, someone was just taking a picture of my improved sign. About two hours later I looked out again and someone was placing a new Obama sign on my lawn.

  4056. As long as we're tossing Truman quotes out there: "[Republican Senator Robert] Taft explained that the great issue in this campaign is “creeping socialism.” Now that is the patented trademark of the special interest lobbies. Socialism is a scare word they have hurled at every advance the people have made in the last 20 years. Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called farm price supports. Socialism is what they called bank deposit insurance. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. When the Republican candidate inscribes the slogan “Down With Socialism” on the banner of his “great crusade,” that is really not what he means at all. What he really means is, “Down with Progress — down with Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal,” and “down with Harry Truman’s fair Deal.” That is what he means."

  4066. Since these prosecutions started I've heard the prosecutors attacked, I've heard the juries attacked, I've heard the cases attacked, I've heard the process attacked. What haven't I heard? I haven't heard, ever, a single trump supporter claim him to be factually innocent. I've never heard any trump supporter say "He wouldn't do that." He wouldn't sleep with an adult film actress with a wife and newborn at home. He wouldn't order his attorney to pay her money to conceal that from the voters before an election. He wouldn't seek to hide those payments by putting them on the books as legal fees. He wouldn't try to extort the head of a sovereign ally into fabricating a sham investigation into his opponent. He wouldn't steal, on a wholesale basis, national secrets to be shared with who knows who. He wouldn't attempt to steal an election by asking state officials to ignore the will of the people of their states. He wouldn't try to strongarm a state governor into fabricating votes. He wouldn't send a violent mob to attack a co-equal branch of the government. He wouldn't do those things because he isn't that kind of man. I've never heard that because even his supporters know that he would do those things, that he did do those things and that he is that kind of man. And he, undoubtedly will do more, and worse. I hope the nation survives.

  4156. @AmericaIsWorthIt trump was worried more about the effect COVID would have on the economy that he was its effect on people's health. That's the conservative trait that was in operation there, but I don't know that I'd call it a virtue.

To the Constitution, NO ONE is indispensable including a president. Impeaching and removing trump would make Pence president, which is HARDLY the same thing. Pence would then appoint a replacement VP, who would need to be approved by Congress (as Nixon did with Ford, and Ford with Rockefeller).

  4208. If the FBI had information SUGGESTING that the president MIGHT be a Russian agent, they would have been derelict in their duty NOT to look int it. Yes, that is a pretty low bar but you don't get this stuff handed to you gift-wrapped. The "I" in "FBI" DOES stand for "investigate", after all.

  4217.  @drowningin  Hey, if the Republicans didn't sue citing the Kemp precedent, you can hardly blame the Democrats for that. But seriously the trend of Sec'y of State being overt partisans actually started, like so much else that has broken our politics, in 2000, in FL with the Sec'y there being openly in the tank for "W". Incidentally, 2000 is also the year when the networks stopped alternating which color stood for which party, which has contributed greatly to the whole "team red/team blue" thing.
    1
  4218.  @drowningin  I'll agree that when a Sec'y of State is running for another office that there should be some insulation between him/her and the election process. I trust you said the same back when Republican Sec'y of State Brian Kemp first ran for governor of Georgia.
    1
  4219.  @drowningin  I seriously doubt that Katie Hobbs is counting any votes. And you should have reps from both teams in observing (as I said above). Mail in ballots (which is the same as absentee voting) is fine. There's a lot to be said for being to complete your ballot at your leisure instead of the rush-rush atmosphere of in person.

  4260. Capitalism, as understood today, traces its origins to the writings of Adam Smith, an eighteenth century man. Communo-socialism to Karl Marx, a nineteenth century man. We need a new economic paradigm for the twenty-first century and beyond. When I've said this to many of my friends, both on the left and the right, I've heard the idea dismissed as like something out of Star Trek. Well, I've replied, I WATCHED Star Trek during its original run and what I remembered most were the communication devices you could put in your pocket (if they had pockets, that is), the big viewscreen, the thin plastic squares that held tremendous amounts of data (those have already come and GONE) and the medical scanners that could detect sickness without invasive tests. And I can't tell you how much I freaked out the first time I went into a drug store and the entrance doors opened by themselves. It's not only doable, it's inevitable. When automation and computerization result in a structural unemployment rate of 20 to 25 percent, I expect any advocates of classic laissez faire capitalism will find themselves swinging from lampposts. At some point, something's gotta give. Income inequality WILL resolve itself, because it always HAS, either through war, revolution, or confiscatory taxation. I still hear conservative friends of mine saying that old chestnut about how many people are pulling the wagon versus how many people are riding in it. I say, this is 2018, hook a motor to the damned wagon and EVERYBODY can ride.

Here's the quote: "For although psychopaths are a small minority, it seems significant that whenever organized and militant hate exist a psychopath is the leader, and if, for instance, one hundred disgruntled and frustrated individuals fall in line behind one psychopath then, in essence, we are concerned with the actions of one hundred and one psychopaths."

  4456.  @allgoo1964 To paraphrase Mitt Romney: Unions ARE corporations, my friend. While union leadership can always be counted on to make progressive noises, they can be equally counted on to endorse what you would call the more corporate Democratic candidate. The bigger the union, the more true this is. But my main point is that there has always been a schism in the party between those who want to go full steam ahead and those wishing to take a more measured approach and that success, for the party, can only come by keeping both groups fully in the tent and participating.
    1
  4457.  @allgoo1964  Just because we didn't call it that then, doesn't mean that the distinction didn't exist. Nothing is really new. Even trump, as bizarre and "unpresidented" as he might seem, has his antecedents in Perot and Wallace (George). Read about Huey Long or (Henry) Wallace to see how far back al this goes. Or pick up "The Fourth Turning" by Strauss and Howe.
    1
  4458.  @allgoo1964  Yes, there is. And the last time we tried electing a president without them, his name was George McGovern and it did not go well. I also expect we'll have a lot more if trump continues to alienates large swaths of soon-to-be-former Republicans. I'm not saying that the Democratic Party's only options are to be purist losers or mere Republicans with scruples. I'm arguing for a sort of internal triangulation in which policies are developed which both improve upon and synthesize these two alternatives and, by that process, developing an electoral powerhouse which could govern for a generation.
    1
  4459.  @allgoo1964 You're not contradicting my point, you're illustrating it. Hillary lost because too many Dem voters went green or stayed home. trump didn't do any much better than Romney or McCain in terms of vote totals but Hillary didn't turn out the voters who elected Obama in 2008 and 2012. As for Bernie holding a "double digit" lead over trump, none of those polls could factor in something that didn't happen, to wit, the Republican propaganda machine turning on him, full bore. By the time the general rolled around, folks would have thought he was Joe Stalin. They might have even found an old CPUSA card for him. It's not like the Ruskies couldn't get their hands on blank ones.

  4510. Happened in Iowa on the Republican side in 2012. Based on the early numbers, everybody said that Romney was the winner, but the final vote count came out for Santorum. But by then Romney had taken the momentum from his supposed victory into New Hampshire. Google it. (But be careful Googling "Santorum".)

  4511.  @luisvelez5695  I care because it shows the intent of the policy. If, for instance, 5 of the remaining six were Hispanic, it means that out of the original 19 there was only one white arrested. You're looking through the wrong end of the telescope, pal.

  4512.  @luisvelez5695  I'm so sick of people trying to tell me what I mean. I SAY what I mean. The context of the story is voter suppression and doing it against one minority, so it's relevant how much it's done to another.

Well, the "bad guy" sent in a girl to sleep with him. Unknown to the guy, he was being videotaped and the girl was underage. So after that, this guy was owned because no justification excuses statutory rape. Can't help wondering if something like this happened with trump as a mere romp with some hookers wouldn't be enough to get him on the hook.

  4558. She was a plant but from the Larouche organization (which does support trump). Funny, she was trying to troll AOC but Donny Jr. and the FOXbots treated it as if she was serious. As if any congressperson is somehow responsible for something some loony says at one of their town halls. AOC handled this PERFECTLY, especially given that someone who could say crazy stuff like this could be just as capable of DOING something crazy. Don't forget, we've had a couple of congresspeople shot and de-escalation would seem an appropriate response.

  4636. She was walking off, she was doing what she was told to do. Mouthing off on top of that isn't being uncooperatice.
    1
  4637. Why do we have a 2nd Amendment. From the Constitution:Section 8, Clause 15 states: "(Congress shall have the Power) To provide for the calling of the militia to execute the laws of the Union, suppress insurrections, and repel invasions." They tell you what it's for. It's right there: To “suppress insurrections”. Not to freakin' participate in them, to suppress them.

  4639. What's your point, that young people can't be crooks too?

  4643. It is now.
    1
  4644. Isn't it conservatives who always say that governments should fear their people?
    1
  4645. The workers might not get in trouble (I was one), but doing hearings is a time-intensive process for folks who are already overburdened and creates problems for other clients. One of my chief complaints about the system was that we allowed the people we couldn't help to monopolize our resources to the degree that it compromised our ability to help the people we could.
    1
  4646. Probably rich and prioritizing that.

  4647. "turning the up"? Good grief, is no one coherent these days?

  4664.  @chessinfantry  A person with your ability to know what people are thinking should speak to the police. They could use someone with that talent.

  4665. I'm reluctant to tell ANY candidate that they should leave the field until we've heard from actual VOTERS, rather than just donors and polls.
    1
  4666.  @MetalDetroit  If Democrats aren't liberals then why is the word used as a smear by Republicans?
    1
  4667. trump isn't a Nazi, but at some level he might actually be something worse. As Donnie in "The Big Lebowski" said: "Say what you want about the tenents of National Socialism, at least it's an ethos." trump is an authoritarian, but he is one without any actual ideology, which makes him more comparable to many of the kleptocratic tyrants of the Middle East whose biggest concern was lining their pockets.
    1
  4668. Given that trump has pardoned many of his criminal associates, simply equity argues for a pardon for Cohen. Agree/disagree?
    1
  4669. Oh, yes.

  4673. On the basis of that old lawyers maxim, there was a lot of table pounding there.

  4674. Joe Biden was first elected to the Senate in 1972. You never heard jack about him being "crooked" until he ran against trump. That's fifty years folks.

  4675. "Comma-la"? We're lucky he gets that close.
    1
  4676. This guy has a real hard time answering yes-or-no questions with a yes or a no.
    1
  4677. In the final analysis the only thing that will kill trumpism is for it to lose at the ballot box. Over and over and over again. Although a few indictments won't hurt either.
    1
  4678. I guess trying to steal an election is only a crime if you fail.

  4683. The lock-down wasn't just to flatten the curve. It was to buy time to ramp up production of PPE, ventilators, etc. Also to develop contact tracing and additional effective theraputics. That time was wasted due to the non-response of the federal government. This is one big problem, not fifty little ones.

  4686. What percentage of people who believe whacky things have to act on those beliefs before we have a real problem?
    1
  4687. Wrong on another count. I do remember Carter who was elected, as people don't remember, to fix the economy that was so screwed up by Nixon, with his wage and price controls and Ford, with his asinine "WIN" buttons. They did so thorough a job of it, too, that things really didn't even "bottom out" until Carter's term. And THAT'S why he was a one term president.
    1
  4688. Because, of course he did.

  4706. My mistake. I thought I heard someone say that he was from the UAE. (That's the United Arab Emirates, for the pathetically ignorant among us.)
    1
  4707. I keep hearing that we've all got to vote, and we do. Too big to rig, and all that. The problem is that the larger the margin of victory the more likely they are to state that constitutes evidence of fraud, in and of itself. They are not receptive to logical argument. Their minds are made up, don't confuse them with facts. They're already saying that it's going to be rigged, before a single ballot is even cast. By who (or is that whom)? In what manner?

  4713. Rudy has a go fund me page? Seize his computer.
    1
  4714. Patriots are the new traitors.
    1
  4715. Here's the thing. They don't believe it because they can't believe it. And I kind of get that. If my state had gone for trump I would have suspected foul play. But if my Democratic Governor and my Democratic Secretary of State had said: "Nope. It was a fair count and trump won." I'd believe it because they'd have no freakin' reason to lie. When Republican officials confirm Biden's victory in their state, you should believe them instead of saying that they've been paid off, or "gotten to" or are RINOs, or some such BS.
    1
  4716. Pardoning trump but not the others is the very essence of the "two-tiered justice system" that conservatives are (supposedly) against.
    1
  4717. Why wait till he actually makes the appointment to criticize it? Hey, beat the rush.
    1
  4718. LAWFARE is a made up rightie term, like "death panels". To be cast aside when it's served its purpose for a new platitude de juor.

  4722.  @Ace1King1  I was referring to your labeling of a hypothetical Clinton administration as a disaster when now, under trump, we're in the middle of a pandemic the consequences of which should have been far less severe.
    1
  4723.  @Ace1King1  You folks just have zero sense of self-awareness.
    1
  4724. You really don't think that, following 2016, that the polling firms have dissected what went wrong with the polls in 2016 and refined their methodology. Some folks learn from their mistakes. The rest will vote for trump again.
    1
  4725. Election officials take those jobs because they believe in the system and they check their partisanship at the door.

  4726. Jim Jordan is a ginormous jackhole.
    1
  4727. Why are Republicans treating COVID like it's a major campaign contributor?
    1
  4728. One of the true bright spots of all this is how many Republicans have emerged from this saying: "No, stop. This is not the way we ought to be doing things." They know these people up close and personal, and they reject it.
    1
  4729. "I attack you, that's fine. You hit me, that's escalation." Right.

  4758. Now that they've both been convicted maybe trump and Hunter could be cellmates.

  4760. Do you take master charge?
    1
  4761. Siegfried Braun  Nope, just saying that the folks who said that Ms. Waters advocated violently confronting folks were lying. (Which you implicitly acknowledge.)

  4796.  @snipman8067  Well, trump called HIMSELF a nationalist and he is, last time I checked, white, so............

    1
  4818.  @hopeandpeace4632  Ah, yes. The false dichotomy argument.
    1
  4819. It really isn't inconsistent to favor not using COVID to drive border policy while favoring continuing mitigation efforts. IT is simply recognizing that migrants aren't bringing any more COVID than we already have here. Oh, you can argue for or against either policy but don't pretend that there is still linkage between them.

  4828.  paulbsmokin  If you're talking Hillary, she's not MALE. If you're talking Bill, that was more than twenty years ago. My point stands.

  4843. trump's testing guy told a story about a nail salon or beauty parlor where two employees had the virus. The employees and the patrons were mandated to wear masks. Not ONE new case was attributed to that location. Masks work. Period. And you know what, I don't like to wear it either but I do because I don't want to spread the virus in case I've got it and don't know yet.

But if my Democratic governor and Sec'y of State said "Nope, trump won and won fairly." I say OK, I guess he did. That is what makes me different than these folks.

  5018. I've been watching presidential elections starting maybe in 1972. Here's what happens every time. The outstate vote comes in first because, you've got a lot of place that, to be frank, not a lot of folks live in. These areas tend to go Republican. Then the vote from the cities where you've got a lot of people living start to trickle in. Some years that heavy "D" vote overtakes the outstate totals, some years it doesn't. That perfectly normal situation was reinforced this year by the president telling his supporters to vote in person and the Democrat's desire to vote by mail to be safe during the pandemic.

  5028. The thing about trump: All of his accusations are confessions. He calls Hillary crooked, but he's as crooked as a bent corkscrew. He calls Ted Cruz "lying Ted" but he and his minions lie, it seems sometime, merely to stay in practice. He calls Bernie crazy, but thinks windmills cause cancer. He calls the news fake, but is as phony as a wallet full of three-dollar bills, from his alleged hair to his imaginary bone spurs. He projects so much that it wouldn't surprise me to find out that he was born in Kenya.

  5035. If trump had been reelected, red states would be swimming in vaccine and folks in blue states would still be waiting for the first jab.
    1
  5036.  @Rob-fc4fv  A lot there. First off, trump is an authoritarian because A) He surrounds himself with sycophants (IE: ass kissers). B) He thinks of himself as above the law (and not, it would seem, without reason). C) He doesn't understand the system of checks and balances on which our system is based. D) His background as a businessman, particularly a family business, is not one which lends itself to recognizing the need for consensus. (Other presidents have had business backgrounds, of course, such as Carter and Truman, but both had held elective office prior to becoming President.) Secondly, regarding AOC's tax proposal. She is not proposing taxing the entirety of the 1%s income at 70%, but only the amount exceeding a certain amount. (I will be charitable and assume that you are misunderstanding the proposal rather than intentionally misrepresenting it.) The arrival of the worst effects of climate change has been forestalled by the actions taken on many levels, but this past July WAS the hottest month on record, EVER. And regarding illegal immigration. Aliens DO NOT vote and there is ZERO evidence that they do. This is just something that trump and his supporters tell themselves. I literally can not think of a crime with a worse risk/return ration than voter fraud. What illegal immigrant is going to risk prison/deportation just to run up Hillary's margin of victory in California. trump even put together a commission to investigate it and quietly dismissed it when they found NOTHING. And PLEASE, don't tell me that they don't risk prosecution because no Dem official is going to prosecute them. Voter fraud, when there is a federal office on the ballot, is a FEDERAL offense and trump's justice dept. would LOVE to bring charges. (Oh, there was ONE case recently of an alien voting. He was a trump supporter.

  5041.  @nodaklojack  I certainly support the idea of honest elections free of external interference or internal corruption. I would point out, however, that the House passed an election integrity bill and Mitch wouldn't even take it up. Also statistical analysis is meaningless in individual cases because statistics not only explains unlikely events, it requires them.

  5044. Remember all the negative things that trump said about the late Representative John Lewis? Black folks (rightly) saw him as a hero. After trump's comments it was entirely predictable that black folks would turn out in droves to vote against him. Heck, you saw the lines on TV. (The same dynamic may have also operated in AZ, given trump's feud, even unto death, against John McCain.)

  5068. On the eve of Obama becoming president there was supposedly a meeting where major Republican leaders met at a DC steakhouse to plan to deny Obama any legislative victories. There was, in 2016, the "Trump Tower" meeting between (among others) Don Jr. an Eric and Russian representatives. That's what's been missing on this whole "stolen election" theory. When was the meeting where this supposed fraud was planned. Where was it held? Who was in attendance? Heard anything about that? NO? Because it didn't happen. If you're going to have a conspiracy theory, you need to have, you know, a conspiracy.

In the absence of a vaccine or an effective treatment, the third path is the only sensible one to take.

What is true of his rooks, knights, and bishops is just as true of his pawns. Those people who stormed the Capitol knew what he wanted and they did it. No amount of "weasel words" can cover up that basic fact.

Could it be that because the longer the pandemic lasts the worse Joe Biden looks? Could it be that they don't care who lives or dies in furtherance of their political interests? Could it be that they are monstrous jackholes who should change their parties emblem from the elephant to the COVID ball? Just asking questions.

I would call that incredibly poor reasoning except for the fact that it isn't "reasoning" at all. I suspect that if trump had chosen zombie Charles Manson, that CNN would be even more against him. Does that mean that zombie Manson would be a better choice that Patel?

  5167. @renideo Such an in-depth reply merits recognition. I'm not astonished by the explosion of overt racism. Many of us saw the election of Obama not as proof that racism had been overcome, but that it could be, and in time, would be. Others viewed it very, very differently. Another factor is that there are folks out there who've turned bigotry into a business model and once profit gets involved it's very hard to step on it.

Hey, you want to find out what happens to people who break the law on trump's behalf, just ask Michael Cohen. Just drop him a line care of the federal prison system.

  5254. One of the "check" on the courts was intended to be the impeachment clause. The belief was that Justices who warranted removal from the bench would be removed. It was not anticipated that we'd have a scenario where folks would willfully ignore egregious conduct simply because they were philosophically aligned with the Justice perpetrating it.

  5269. Don't blame the three justices appointed by trump. Don't blame trump for appointing them. Don't blame McConnell for ramming them through or stealing a seat that should have gone to an Obama appointee. Don't blame RBG for not retiring when Obama was still president. That would have only resulted in two Merrick Garlands. Blame the people who could have prevented this by voting in 2016 and didn't. I say to the Republicans who made this happen, enjoy your victory. But know that often the price of getting everything you want is losing everything you have.

  5277. You know what I've never heard a trump supporter say? They've never said: He wouldn't do that. He wouldn't have sex with a porn star while his wife and infant son were at home. He wouldn't try to conceal that from the public by having his lawyer and his humorously named newspaper friend buy her silence. He wouldn't cover up that transaction by claiming it as legal expenses. He wouldn't walk out of the White House with boxes and boxes of classified document covering God knows what all. He wouldn't try to strongarm state officials to "find" fictitious votes to put him over the top. He wouldn't sic an angry mob on the Congress. Why won't they say these things? Because they know that he did and, God help us, they just don't care.

  5328. I was at the cemetery yesterday. Spoke to an employee who told me when the virus was in full bloom in this state they were doing TWICE the number of burials that they were doing pre-Covid. One woman was burying her brother and got a phone call DURING the burial telling her that another brother had passed from Covid. Politicians can "cook" the death numbers positively or negatively depending but they can't disguise the fact that MORE people are DYING that typically do. People who think this thing is faked should lick a doorknob.

  5460. Democrats have been consistently outperforming the polls in every election since 2020.

  5462. Yes, and the vaccine turbocharges it.

  5463. Shouldn't that sat "steroids and adderall"?

  5464. I wouldn't have been able to resist giving him a "Vir wave".

  5465.  @shelbyjohnson5623  I know plenty of white people who've been arrested too. But not as many as Donald trump.
    1
  5466. I take it that Comey never read that letter.
    1
  5467.  @Sundae_Times  Yes, they're just not "THE people".
    1
  5468. Maybe that's what Garland is going for. Indicting them both to balance the scales. Personally, I wouldn't vote for trump or Hunter Biden.
    1
  5469. The balloon is watching, so put on a good show.
    1
  5470. Did they make his nose look bigger or his skin look darker?
    1
  5471. He doesn't understand that either.
    1
  5472. The problem that the Republicans have is that a majority of their nominating electorate has bought into what trump is selling. “When he tells a crowd, as he often does, ‘I love you,’ what he means is that in middle-America he found something he had long ago run out of in New York: suckers,”-Bill Maher

  5473. Come 2022 a lot of Michael Woods will be running. A lot of them could win, too.
    1
  5474. I think a lot of them Dems are doing it to vote for sane Republicans in primaries (presuming they can find them) and will come home in Nov.

  5475.  @bryantsosa6713  You're aligning yourself with folks who'd just as soon shoot you as look at you. Good luck with that.

  5479. In this case I think the word "accurate" might apply.
    1
  5480. With friends like trump, who needs enemas?
    1
  5481. The law under which the Chicago 8 were prosecuted is still on the books. The law makes it illegal to cross state lines in order to riot or to conspire to use interstate commerce to incite rioting. Seems that one could be applied to a lot of people here.
    1
  5482. Better than you've done, I'm sure.

    1
  5485. And it goes up to eleven.

  5486. Didn't work that way in 2016. Complacency is just as likely as folks getting fired up. (Why vote? We've got this.)

  5487. You think that the pollsters haven't refined their methodology in the past two years?

  5495. I feel for those guys. Watching the country they fought for morphing into the country they fought against.

  5497. Without truth, without justice, what hope is there for the American Way?
    1
  5498. LGBTQI? Wait a minute. When did the I get added and how come no one told me?
    1
  5499. I'm prepared to stop thinking of people as evil. But they have to meet me halfway and stop acting evil. (Part of which is being an apologist for evil.)

  5500.  @TheMobileHomestead  I've known people like that. They'd rather make a point than make progress. They'd rather go down in flames than settle for half-a-loaf.

  5504.  @andrewjackson9368  This isn't about what he's done right, it's about what he's done WRONG.
    1
  5505. There is a fundamental distinction to be made between "strong-arming" a foreign leader on behalf of legitimate American policy goals and doing so in furtherance of personal political interests. To think otherwise is like thinking that there's no difference between someone who pushes an old lady in front of a bus and someone who pushes her out of the way of a bus. After all, they both push old ladies around.
    1
  5506. "Democratic", please. Not "Democrat".

  5507. Two months later. We now know that Jim Jordan doesn't belong ON the committee, he belongs in FRONT of it.

  5511. Except you need 2/3rd of the Senate to convict and that ain't happening. (much as I'd like to see it.)
    1
  5512. Also known as "the people".
    1
  5513. The polls may be more accurate than the actual election.
    1
  5514. And trump was the challenger, not the incumbent.
    1
  5515. the very term "Hildebeast" originated in a Russian troll farm.

  5516.  @GunnerAsch1  And no one wants to hear yours.
    1
  5517. You don't think that the pollsters have refined their methodology in the last four years?
    1
  5518.  @ChineseChicken1  I'm against it now, I'd be against it then. But if Hillary had won the Electoral College while losing the popular vote we'd still be chasing trumpies out of the hills.
    1
  5519. The technology on this is advancing so rapidly they'll be able to show a politician saying that he'd like to have sex with his daughter. I mean, somebody besides trump.

  5520. I WILL, I WILL!!!!

  5521. Second in line, the VP is first in line. The President isn't in line, he's the President.

  5522. If you have to wait in line to vote long enough to get thirsty, someone giving you water ain't the problem.
    1
  5523. While badmouthing an entire city isn't the same as trash-talking one person, I remain convinced that trump lost GA because of negative things he said about John Lewis and AZ because of negative things he said about John McCain. Dude doesn't let go of grudges, even unto death.
    1
  5524. We need to science the #$#% out of this.
    1
  5525. If someone polls at 1% in a poll where the margin of error is plus or minus 4% he could actually have negative support.
    1
  5526. None of these polls mean anything until actual voters actually start voting.

  5528. Had enough?
    1
  5529. Go pee in you OWN pool, Scott.
    1
  5530. If people didn't know what Epstein was up to, I'm all for giving them a pass on associating with a guy who had money, which is what politicians are most interested in. I'm including trump, Clinton, whoever. There's enough stuff on trump that mentioning Epstein isn't even necessary.
    1
  5531. Audits are conducted by objective outside parties, not MAGA chuckleheads with their thumbs on the scale.
    1
  5532. Don't believe us. trump's own cyber-security guy said so.

  5533. Here's hoping that MTGs fake mug shot will be replaced by a real one.
    1
  5534. Presumed innocent until proven guilty...............guilty.................guilty...............guilty.
    1
  5535. Biden may appoint the attorney general, but he doesn't tell him who to prosecute. The fact that Republicans think he does says more about them and how they perceive the role of the Justice Dept than it does about Biden. In fact the AG appoints a special prosecutor but doesn't tell HIM who to prosecute either. AND all these indictments of trump were handed down by GRAND JURIES comprised of ORDINARY CITIZENS. (Maybe Vladie doesn't know that.)
    1
  5536. If you think those camps are just for migrants, you're kidding yourself.
    1
  5537. The only difference between Republicans is how far they want to turn back the clock. 1971, 1964, 1953, 1931, 1860. Take your pick.
    1
  5538. Farting?

  5541. I've maintained that the Dobbs leak came from the right-wing side of the Court, in hopes that the uproar would dissipate by the time the election would roll around.
    1
  5542.  @juwonraynahd5107  It almost doesn't matter if it's true or not, the effect is the same. And it's kind of hard to describe the thought processes of crazy people without sounding crazy yourself.
    1
  5543.  @AndreyUrman  Yeah, you'd almost think that there are more white people than black people in the country.
    1
  5544. As regards Rand Paul. Isn't it conservatives who are always saying that governments should fear their people?
    1
  5545. Feel bad for trump. He just lost half his black support.
    1
  5546. There undoubtedly were people there who, aside from the trespass angle, were doing touristy stuff. Maybe even staying behind the rope line, and all that. But there were also people with another, darker agenda. The folks geared up for combat. The person or persons who brought the gallows. The folks with plastic cuffs. Etc, etc.

  5547.  @eliminateMore  Everybody has one and no one wants to hear yours.

    1
  5549. It should also be noted that the Cohen testimony at hand was in response to questioning by AOC, which is why she was on trump's "fecal roster".
    1
  5550.  @psongman9536  That was my feeling as well. Sorry if I was unclear.
    1
  5551. Three and a half years since that testimony? I remember it well. I was on my way back from the dentist, listening to it on NPR and laughing my, errrr, head off.
    1
  5552. "Patriots" are the new traitors.
    1
  5553. Of course not. They signed a waiver, didn't they?
    1
  5554. trump already had the oathkeepers, now he has the oathbreakers too.

  5559. And survived it when many unvaccinated folks his age did not.

  5561. Sometimes you have to pee on the electric fence for yourself.
    1
  5562. Ding, ding, ding. We have a winner.
    1
  5563. And he'd LOVE it.
    1
  5564. It goes without saying that an innocent man wouldn't want the prosecutor fired.
    1
  5565.  @alpine1600s  After being fired by trump, who wouldn't be?
    1
  5566. Headline should read "White Douchebag tries to define Black Authenticity".
    1
  5567. This is a serious topic, but were I to make a list of the people whose opinion I wanted to hear about it, Andrew Yang's name would not be on it.
    1
  5568. No, Senator. It isn't about "just removal", it's about barring from seeking office again. With one exception the surviving ex-Presidents are all two-termers and, as such, are already barred from running again. Want to impeach Jimmy Carter, go ahead.
    1
  5569. I've heard this nursing home thing raised repeatedly. Where should he have put them?
    1
  5570. the "everybody does it" defense is no defense.
    1
  5571. Running against a defeated former president is an old tradition. Heck, the Republicans ran against Jimmy Carter for 10 years.

  5578. Out like Flynn.
    1
  5579. Betty White thought that, too. Keith Richards, maybe.
    1
  5580. The look on Biden's face was the same as back in 2020 when trump did the "stand back and stand by" thing. "I can't believe he's saying this #$#@#."
    1
  5581. All politicians lie, but trump does it just to stay in practice.
    1
  5582.  @kizboslice4937  Biden is doing a great job. The infrastructure bill has passed. Yeah, it wasn't pretty, process-wise, but even people who voted against it are claiming credit for the projects it will bring. The vaccine roll-out could not have been done better and it's hardly Biden's fault that enough people aren't taking advantage of it and keeping COVID going around. As for trump, I'd like to stop talking about him as much as anybody but, as the old joke has it, how can we miss him when he won't go away.
    1
  5583. I know. He has disqualified himself a thousand times over, and yet we're here.

    1
  5587. @sockshovel The definition of precipitously is "hastily and without careful consideration". You could leave precipitously after being there FIFTY years, it's about the manner of departure not the duration of the stay. Hastily and as far as lack of careful consideration goes, that would seem to be the hallmark of this "administration".
    1
  5588. @sockshovel Staying forever and withdrawing precipitously are not the only choices. Break out of the binary thinking trap.

  5661. People get into politics for one of two reasons: Altruism or greed. The odds of any trumpist entering politics for altruistic reasons is functionally zero. My advice for any candidate running against a trumpist is to look for conflicts of interest.

Is it free when people are asked to choose between risking their health by voting in person during a global pandemic or risk having their vote delayed past counting date by a hobbled postal system Is it fair when the votes of some people count more than the votes of others? Is it fair when some people must wait in line for hours and others not at all? Is it fair when there is the threat of tossing the votes of the citizens of entire states in the trash and having politicians, some of whom may have even lost their seats in this same election, chose the electors "for" them? Just asking questions.

  5837. Part of me gets it, really. If I woke up the day after the election and heard that trump had managed with a few thousand votes in AZ, GA, WI, and MI to again draw that inside straight of winning the Electoral College despite losing the popular vote (and by an even larger margin than in 2016), I'd think that there was chicanery involved. Especially if my political leaders and chosen media outlets were saying so. But the difference is that if my Democratic Governor and Democratic Secretary of State came out and said: "No. The election was honest, fair, and trump won." I'd have to believe them. Not because I put any great faith in political types, but because when someone tells a truth when they have every incentive to lie that has a certain innate credibility. And that is what actually happened, in many of those swing states, Republican Governors, Secretaries of State, Canvass Board members and others said: "No. The election was honest, fair, and Biden won." but they don't believe.........because they can't.

  5850. There are enough votes out there to elect a Democrat president. Jimmy Carter proved that. Bill Clinton proved that.......twice. Barack Obama proved that.........twice. Joe Biden proved that. But the dilemma is that you have to get all of them. We keep hearing that Democrats are a center-left party but nobody understands what that really means. It means that you need the center and the left. But the center and the left are not comfortable being part of the same coalition. When Republicans win it's because one part or the other of that coalition doesn't show up and vote for the Democrats. When Dems play “too much” to the center, the left goes third-party or stays home. When Dems play “too much” to the left, they lose the center to the Republicans. Take that from somebody who cast his first presidential vote in 1972. To get those two parts of the coalition to play nice together it takes a disaster. The disaster of Richard Nixon, the disaster of Daddy Bush's mishandling of the economy, the disaster of Bush the lesser's Great Recession, the disaster of trump's mishandling of the COVID pandemic which, at its height, was costing us a 9/11s worth of our fellow citizens every two or three days. So, to all those who stayed home or voted third-party, pat yourselves on the back. You've maintained your purity. Remind yourselves of that when the round-ups begin, while the sea level rises, when Thomas and Alito resign and are replaced by forty-something clones of Alito and Thomas, while The Handmaid's Tale becomes a how-to, while school shootings continue unabated, while Gaza is turned into a parking lot, while Bobby Jr makes polio great again. You've maintained your purity. Congratulations. And cheer up. The inevitable disaster that will be trump's second term will set the stage nicely for a Democratic landslide in 2028 assuming, of course, that free elections are still a thing in 2028.

  5969. Since these prosecutions started I've heard the prosecutors attacked, I've heard the juries attacked, I've heard the cases attacked, I've heard the process attacked. What haven't I heard? I haven't heard, ever, a single trump supporter claim him to be factually innocent. I've never heard any trump supporter say "He wouldn't do that." He wouldn't sleep with an adult film actress with a wife and newborn at home. He wouldn't order his attorney to pay her money to conceal that from the voters before an election. He wouldn't seek to hide those payments by putting them on the books as legal fees. He wouldn't try to extort the head of a sovereign ally into fabricating a sham investigation into his opponent. He wouldn't steal, on a wholesale basis, national secrets to be shared with who knows who. He wouldn't attempt to steal an election by asking state officials to ignore the will of the people of their states. He wouldn't try to strongarm a state governor into fabricating votes. He wouldn't send a violent mob to attack a co-equal branch of the government. He wouldn't do those things because he isn't that kind of man. I've never heard that because even his supporters know that he would do those things, that he did do those things and that he is that kind of man. And he, undoubtedly will do more, and worse. I hope the nation survives.

  5999. Don't forget, trump sicced a violent, possibly homicidal mob on his own VP. That alone should disqualify him from any elective office, including dog catcher. It is unfortunate that he holds such sway among such a large segment of the population that he could go full Gregg Stillson and use a child as a human shield and they would justify it.

How many people in high office, such as state Sec'ys of State would it take? How many election workers? And do keep in mind that the election workers are generally people who value the process over any particular result. That's why they take those positions. Have you heard of even one case where someone was approached by such a "conspiracy" but said no?

Personally, I think that a lot of black folk were asymptomatic vectors for this thing. Working at Metro Airport, working at nursing homes, etc. That disproportionate impact would seem to come from a greater prevalence of underlying conditions such as diabetes, asthma, etc. I don't think it was "seeded" in those communities, but that's a conspiracy theory that seems likely to surface soon.

  6103. You're all missing my point, which is, that any place that COVID patients were sent to en masse would become a new nexus of infection. Be it a ship, a sport center or whatever.
    1
  6104.  @0my  And both the boats and the JC would have simply become the new "nursing homes". The problem was twofold. The communities that nursing home workers come from were rife with COVID and some employees worked at multiple facilities and were so cash-strapped that they'd go to work sick.

  6163. The 14th says "insurrection or REBELLION against the same", the words "the same" clearly referencing the Constitution. The Constitution spells out when the term of the president ends. Trying to, shall we say, overstay his welcome clearly constitutes rebellion against the Constitution. And not just considering the events of the 6th itself, but the full panoply of activity leading up to that date.

Is an election "free" when voting could expose you to a deadly pandemic? Is it fair when you have to wait hours to vote and someone else can just waltz in and be done with it? When they close polling places and don't tell people that has happened? When your registration is terminated because you happen to share a name with some felon in another state? Another component is peaceful transfer of power. Let's see how that one goes, eh.

  6227. Plenty of surveys are showing that the label "Democratic Socialist" doesn't scare off young people, but no one is asking why that is. Maybe it's because Capitalism, as currently practiced, isn't working for them and isn't gonna and they KNOW it. Me, I grew up under a different system. Let's call it "Democratic Capitalism". Even a kid from a poor family, which I was, could go to college on grants and loans and not loans where they'd be in hock for the rest of their lives. You could get a job and stay at it for a career, which I did. You'd even get health insurance, not perfect but good enough. And when you'd put in your time, you could retire, with an actual pension, no less, which I did. They don't see that happening for them and, frankly, neither do I. The wonder isn't that they're Socialism-friendly, the wonder is that they're not manning barricades.

  6230. I don't remember anyone saying that the Russians hacked voting machines in 2016. Why hack the machines when you can hack the voters. And with Stacy Abrams in 2018, the complaint there wasn't over votes cast, it was over votes not cast due to voter suppression by Brian Kemp, who was Secretary of State. Maybe sitting Secretaries of State shouldn't be allowed to seek higher office until at least one election cycle has passed since the held that office.

The degree to which some of these guys are "anti-trump" might be either because they view him as too moderate or as a tool of the moneyed class (the latter being a fair enough assessment). Kind of the way that some of the Berniebots view Biden.

  6284.  @RogerM88  you don't have to be Antifa to be anti-trump. You just need the occasional moment of rationality. As for supporting BLM, the Militia guys are anti-government and anti-cop, so's BLM. If it wasn't for racism, they'd have hooked up long ago.

  6300.  @studytoshowthyselfapprove8301  It does appear to be questionable, but when a candidate wins with 70+ percent of the vote it isn't very effective. The whole idea of gerrymandering (especially of the partisan variety) is for the opposition to win its districts overwhelmingly, but for there to be fewer of them. In any case, having the process handled by non-partisan commissions seems to reduce the opportunity for mischief.

  6305. It takes a couple of years for a president's policies to take effect. The good economy of the early trump years was actually the tail end of Obama's policies. A couple of years in trump's policies, especially the tariffs started to kick in, then COVID and bang. The first couple years of Biden were the hangover from trump. Now, inflation is under control and unemployment is down not just to where it was before COVID, but to where it was before the moon landings.

  6410. When trump said, in the interview with Stephanopolis, that he would accept assistance from a foreign government, that answer was widely criticized by persons in both parties. If accepting it is beyond the bounds, then requesting it, maybe extorting it, certainly is. trump can't complain about the hanging if he's climbed the scaffold and stuck his head in the noose.

Overt acts in furtherance of a conspiracy are al you need. If you and I plan to rob a bank, case the place, that's legally conspiracy even if we''re stopped before the robbery happens. And, no, these guys weren't "Bernie Bros", but there does seem to be such a thing as "right wing anarchists". Their ideal world is kinda like "The Walking Dead" but without the zombies.

  6535. @blondpanda6211 A. The difference is that trump not only won't try to restrain Netanyahu, but will actively encourage him to, as he said in another context, to do whatever the hell he wants. B. There are other issues, especially climate in which the entire freakin' planet is on the line. C. "Next election"? If trump wins, you may be being overly optimistic.

Maybe afterward, they might get a chuckle out of it. But no woman wants to see a picture of your unit until they've gotten up close with it and probably not even then.

  6551. The ignorance of these people is appalling. You don't test so some TV talking head can say we've got two million cases instead of one point five. You test so that the people you test can be aware of their status and modify their behavior accordingly. Test clear, great. Go to the bar, go to the beach, have unsafe sex with someone you just met. Test infected, sucks to be you. Go home, stay there, hope it won't be too bad. Put off seeing your mother for a few weeks. In the end, that's the only way we beat this thing. When each infected person infects less than one uninfected person.

  6552.  @CaptWillard2  First of all, printing presses were a thing back then but I'm not saying stick with the old ways. My point was that you don't get to define "arms" in the 21st century way and "well-regulated" in the 18 century way. Pick a side and stick with it.
    1
  6553.  @cyberfunk3793  Very well. It should be remembered that the 1st is intended to protect speech (and by extension freedom of the press) from retaliation by entities of the government. The internet, which is nothing more that a conglomeration of individual sites, is not a governmental agency and the owners/operators of said sites have as much right to regulate the behavior of participants as does, say, the owner of a tavern.

Nixon imposed wage and price controls............which did three things, postponing the recession, insuring that it would be worse, and insuring that the blame would go to the President elected in 1976.

As someone who is on the left side of the spectrum, I've seen this same kind of dogmatic "thinking" from Sanders supporters who think that anyone to the right of Bernie might as well be a Republican. As if Hillary would have appointed "Justices" like Neil (I really don't belong here) Gorsuch or Schlitz Kavanaugh. Seriously?

  6737. the second amendment confers the general right to bear arms. It is not specific as to make, model, or type.

  6739. Listen up, you idiots. This spike is NOT due to the Floyd protests. That one MAY still come, but most of the protesters I've seen in the paper had their faces covered. This one may be attributable to the anti-lockdown protesters. (Two weeks for the protesters, two MORE weeks for the secondary infections.) That's why we may still see another spike from the Floyd. And it it comes, that won't be pretty. Stay home, stay away from people. Like Momma used to say: You don't know where they've been. Maybe, as some say, we'll ALL get exposed sooner or later. Me, I prefer later like, perhaps after the development of a vaccine or an effective treatment.

Demand that your local jurisdiction provide security for the ballots until they're ALL counted. And by security I don't mean some over-the-hill rent-a-cop. I mean security sufficient to resist trump goon squads (official or unofficial).

  6864.  @yetanotherspuart3993  People weren't "sent" to nursing homes. They already lived there. All Whitmer did was tell the homes that they couldn't refuse their own residents after they got out of the hospital. Again, consistent with what other governors were doing. The central point is that trump singled Whitmer out when she wasn't doing anything other states weren't.

  6918. This is just to "get even" for trump. Except we've had three presidents impeached, Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton, both Democrats. And trump, a Republican. Only Republicans have such a basic lack of mathematical understanding to try to get even when they're already one up.

In both instances the party that sustained that loss won the presidency the very NEXT election. Why? Because parties HATE losing and will adapt in whatever manner they need to in order to WIN. This will mean, however, the end of the DOMINATION of the Republican party by the current, well, use whatever term you want to describe those who are holding the reins of that organization.

You can argue with those who believe otherwise. You can construct rationalizations, as elaborate as they need to be, to show why contradictory evidence is wrong. You and others can threaten or perform physical violence on those who think otherwise. But at the end of the day, the Earth remains an oblate spheroid with flattened poles, and you remain an ignoramus.

Obama may not have charged in gun in hand but he, and to be fair trump as well, did what presidents do. Set priorities. Bush was prepared to let Bin Laden live "in a cave" as a living breathing boogeyman, but Obama said "No, someone who has done to this country what he did needs to be dealt with." And dealt with he was. Two to the chest, one to the head, and dumped in the water. Chicago style!

In fact, more people in Detroit VOTED and didn't cast a vote in the presidential election than trump's winning margin in Michigan. No one's gonna make THAT mistake again.

Iowa and New Hampshire will start winnowing the field (although NH won't have the impact it's had in the past because it's right next door to Bernie's Vermont. Super Tuesday will finish the job.

  7152.  @1247.cccccc  True, but it succeeded in the intended effects of locking in the wage/price imbalance (Nixon's controls were on both) and making sure that when inflation came back with a vengeance it would happen during the next administration. An administration that would almost certainly be (due to Nixon's other malfeasances) a Democratic one. People still blame Carter to this day, forgetting Nixon's actions and Jerry Ford's stupid WIN button. Harris' approach seems to be limited to some sectors of the economy so perhaps those sort of side effects you cite could be avoided.

  7256. Either/or thinking. There's a lot of territory between "testing everybody every day" and "slow the testing down". Here's the thing: When each infected person infects, on average, two or more uninfected people, you have exponential spread. When each infected person infects, on average, one uninfected person, you have the "plateau". When each infected person infects, on average, less than one uninfected person, the virus recedes and can be managed by isolation, tracing, and additional testing.

  7263.  @EpicAlcatraz99  Because some people need to be reminded that it reflects, I dunno, the WILL of the PEOPLE. And more practically, the fact is that the popular and electoral votes rarely part company and when they do it should be a "warning shot" that the winning candidate might need to broaden his appeal a bit. (Which Bush did, but trump didn't and we all know how that worked out.) Winning the Electoral College but losing the popular vote is the political equivalent of drawing an inside straight. Nice (for you) when it happens, but making it your strategy is a ticket to bankruptcy.
