I'm not in the UK, I don't think anyone should be trying people who have been asked by the government to conduct a systematic review of medical evidence on charges of Suspicion of Unknown Hanky-panky.

What would those charges be?

Sure, Gragg is a jerk and maybe a crank.

Is there a position on this that is neither his nor anti-trans?

Alejandro Caraballo is admitting she doesn't know something?!? That IS worthy of a prize.

One of the rules of the world, as indelible as gravity or relativity, is that Hillary Clinton is always seen to be doing the wrong thing.

I'm going to go out on a limb and speculate that this is not the first Trump candidate who voted on a fake ID.

As Trump's approvals crater, Americans are increasingly willing to oppose him--and courage is contagious.

And the truth is revealed.

I have to wonder if Tim Walz was asked the same question.

"You did not properly reward me for being peaceful, so I will now make war."

Gee, I cannot *imagine* why Trump was not considered for this honor.

Seems to me that Dems talked a LOT about the authoritarian dangers of Trump in 2024, and look who won that year.

Maybe we should consider that Americans, by and large, just aren't all that concerned about the state of democracy.

When it passes and Trump's Venezuelan ambitions are ended, I will blow you kisses and apologies. Until then, it is all leprechauns.

Sure, and if leprechauns would finally answer my letters and come to work, my garden would grow so much greener.

In the last seven days, Donald Trump has managed to recreate the Iraq invasion, the Iran-Contra affair, and George Floyd's death.

He's not lazy, that's for sure.

What could they do, anyway?

The fact that Republicans are going on about this fifteen years after they lost the issue is just tedious.

Some people seem to think that, as long as they have the "right" opinions, they are good people. They don't have embody virtues or do good things; they just have to believe. They're like the religious right from the 80s.

Totally. I think it was called the "crazification factor", back then.

"Chuck Schumer rushed it to the floor" he says, even though Republicans control the chamber.

These people aren't even good at being evil.

Trump is always accusing others of the crimes he himself has committed.

Maybe Zohran Mamdani would move there too and defeat him in an election for a third time.

Not yet, but I am sure The Free Press is preparing the headline: "Democrats Sweep 2025--Here's Why That's Good for Republicans."

I await The Free Press headline, "Democrats Sweep 2025--Here's Why That's Good for Republicans."

My feeling is that NY Democrats are going to look different than VA Democrats, and that nobody should hyperventilate about either.

I'm not a New Yorker so I haven't closely followed the race. Would be interested in your take on Mamdani and his apparent victory.

I don't know what exactly "centrist" means, but if NY Democrats wanted a centrist option, they could have nominated one who isn't saddled with a bunch of ethical problems. I'd rather have untried honesty than experienced corruption.

A shame it can come only from a conservative outlet.

The Great Recession was once such event. I don't think ANY Republican could have won in 2008 after that plus Iraq plus Hurricane Katrina.

I think few elections turn on one issue, unless that issue is VERY big, like Iraq.

As Aragorn pointed out at the Council of Elrond, it was not just Gondor keeping the West safe. The rangers, working secretly and humbly, also kept evil at bay. So Elon needs to re-read his Tolkien.
