She also would have faced a Congress that would have been somewhere between moderately and very oppositional, putting a brake on her worst policies. Instead we got a Congress that invites the POTUS to run roughshod over them with his worst policies. That was 95% of the reason for my vote for her.

WOW

The solution that would take us back to before the problems were created: combine Montana, Idaho, N & S Dakota, Wyoming, Utah, & Nevada into 2 or 3 states.

Mamdani has "good ratings". That's what Trump respects.

Right now it's a pinprick hole in an earthen dam. You know what happens next. Or, as I posted earlier, GOP Senators who held their ambition in check are smelling blood in the water.

What the OP is saying about Dem leaders is EXACTLY what Dems said about GOP leaders for the first 30 years of my adult life.

If your career has been entertainer, a short cushy law firm job, & politico, you have no idea about corporate travel, which outrageous for a Sec. of Transportation. You pack light, wear your fitness center and hotel room clothes on the flight, and make sure you don't arrive sweaty.

It's tempting to believe the on-air personalities on FOX are just pretending to be stupid & corrupt because they're performing for an audience. But this shows the behind the scenes people are just as stupid & corrupt. It goes from the execs to the producers to the entire workforce.

Muslims & humanists. Trump's people. Is there a single Christian in that photo?

Oh, yeah, definitely in LanCo. People there are more likely to listen to Christian radio then get their religion from FOX News. They're not going to be political cultists.

Trump with the Saudi Prince and murderer, MBS, looking like a kid on Christmas Morning.

So MAGA, You see these two? One of them is your dear leader, the other is a Prince in a country where CHRISTIANITY IS BANNED. Where you can be arrested for being a CHRISTIAN, for displaying CHRISTIAN symbols and even, for having a bible.
But go ahead, tell me how much fucking MONEY he's investing.

Will there now be a Charlie Kirk of the Left who will go to conservative colleges and tell anyone who claims to have been bullied for being a Trump supporter that they're lying, that this is definite proof that every claim of MAGA bullying is a hoax?

I agree with Tom & Atticus. If Trump doesn't make it to 2029, which I think is more likely than not, JD Vance will not inspire the fear that Trump does among the GOP. GOP Senators and high ranking congressman will smell blood in the water. The days of the Uber-unitary executive will be over.

It's the mob boss thing. Most mob bosses were actually stupid men, they were just good at wielding power.

It's only a hoax with respect to Donald Trump. Which is all that matters. Don't you see that? "There needs to be accountability for Trump in the Epstein matter" is the hoax. So it's all a hoax, because Trump is the center of the world.

DHS wants you to join the fight to reclaim our national identity from people who go to church.

I'd like to ask Trump if he believes incriminating evidence about him will come out if the Epstein files are released. But I can't, he doesn't take questions from citizens. So I rely on professional journalists to get the answers for me. Trump just told me (and you) to be quiet & don't ask questions

1. Should be a prosecutor
2. Demonstrated ability to govern
3. Not held hostage to ideological factions

Josh Shapiro

Exactly!

Or the fact that we've had insurance regulating agencies in this country for almost 200 years, because even then our leaders realized no matter how good a plan might look, it's worthless if they don't actually pay claims.

At this point your thread is turning into a Monty Python sketch. Or maybe Abbot & Costello.

Agree with your main point, but racism is usually part of fascist ideologies. The superiority of the Volk over the Auslanders, particularly when the Auslanders are readily identifiable, is a major theme.

It's a lot more than reputational damage. It's normalizing Executive Branch extortion of private enterprises. In the long run, this will impact their precious quarterly EPS reports. But at least they'll get the big bonuses this year.

I’m very liberal with a small “l”. I’m also very conservative with a small “c”. Sometimes these come into conflict, but I try to treat them both as rational impulses to be weighed, rather than ideologies to be followed.

Yes, it will be hugely deflationary when the home improvement contractors I hire tell me I need to throw in an extra couple of thousand to get them to actually come out and do the job they contracted for, knowing no one else will come out because they don't have any workers.

It’s the hottest economy in history with $21 trillion coming in.

Also: we need the Fed to cut rates and “prop up this economy.” 🤪

"A friend of the President". More "l'etat, c'est Moi". You don't have to be either Left or Right to know this needs to end NOW.

There's really no need to fear China until they change the name "Central Military Commission" to the "Central War Commission".

A moderately mentally ill black man gets a prison sentence for touching a young girl he encounters on the street on her bare shoulder.
