I admittedly don't follow this closely. Based on the clips that rose to the top of my feeds it's clear that he's been very outspoken about how his faith impacts his views. if you have watched it closely and say she's the same on that score I'll defer to your take and would worry about both equally.

disgusted that any olympic athlete would go to the white house --- Trump is a war criminal as was Biden and every president before them -- but Trump put storm troopers on American streets -- for me, anyone bending the knee to him is a traitor.

Has she been as vocal as him about her faith? I hadn't thought so. If she has, I would have the same concerns with her.

that makes sense -- there have been so few christians who behave as jesus would have had them behave....hard to imagine a person with power doing it -- has there ever been one?

I asked a smart friend today what he thought about AI and he said it had great potential - I said ok but asked if he believed it could be harnessed for the public good and not just used to enrich the oligarach...oh, absolutely not -- it must be nationalized... -- then it made sense.

anyone who thinks they don't already have this data is deluded -- Snowden told us like 13 years ago -- this is a stunt to make you think they don't already have it....

always on the voters...maybe if the dems actually showed some backbone people would vote for them....ask the damned dems to do something instead of the voters...it gets really old seeing people blame voters instead of candidates and the party

no more than Joe or Hillary or Barrack does...their actions all resulted in Trump being elected... --- please don't blame the voters....it is never the voters' fault

I imagine this will be an unpopular take with a lot of people. The Olympics' organizers failing to prohibit Israel - or the USA for that matter - from the games is as bad as the Nobel folks giving Machado the Peace Prize. Once admired institutions no longer even have the sheen of respectability.

I found it really interesting to hear that the local Dem party where I'm registered decided to start holding some meetings at the local Starbucks...totally out of touch.

do you REALLY think they don't already have it....if you're that naive, when you get elected you'll learn.

if they don't interfere it will be a miracle --- there oughta be preps ongoing for what's going to happen.

I think this is true -- IF there are elections 'bad' results will be challenged and then annulled

Has fascism ever been beaten by mutual aid? The govs of CA, IL & now MN are allowing the fascists to build power rather than standing up to them. History, if it's written like Zinn would write it, will see Newsom's failure to challenge Trump when he sent agents/troops to LA as a key failure.

how bout we fire their bosses too -- Dem leaders almost certainly gave them permission -- or even asked them to do this -- the Dems only work for their donors...
