Who to watch in the next few years? in the forum Politics 2 months, 2 weeks ago
Do you believe that enough people trying to listen to that mess of overlapping dialog could actually understand most of the questions and answers? Vivek does that all the time, and I wonder if fast talking while looking more confident than a used car salesman might actually prove to be an effective campaign strategy.
All I know…[Read more]

Speaking of Vivek Ramaswamy, his campaign died in one interview by Mehdi Hasan.

almost as devastating as when Chris Wallace (while on Fox!) destroyed Trump attorney Jay…[Read more]

This should become an interesting states’ rights vs their political parties’ issue. I haven’t researched the possibilities yet, but I wonder if the only meaningful judgement in constitutionality might come from SCOTUS. While Trump hasn’t been convicted, what powers DO a state’s executive branch have over political party behaviors?
Isn’t such…[Read more]

A new POLITICO Magazine/Ipsos poll provides some bad news for Trump: Even as he remains the clear frontrunner for the Republican nomination, the cascading indictments are likely to take a toll on his general election prospects.
The survey results suggest Americans are taking the cases seriously — particularly the Justice Department’s 2020 elect…[Read more] -

Who to watch in the next few years? in the forum Politics 3 months ago
Former Trump admin officials are arguing that they can’t be prosecuted if they were working under color of their job. This is an accepted legal principle. However, they are essentially arguing that it can be part of their job to conspire to overturn an election. I’d be surprised if they make any headway in court with that argument.
Arguing that…[Read more]

What a clown-show. The logic of supporting the guy who will easily beat you while arguing that he is being unfairly prosecuted is beyond me. Talk about ass-kissing simps.
Christie’s belt size makes him seem like a guy with no self-control, but at least he makes some sense. Can the Indian guy ever win the hearts of all those racist MAGATs? Good…[Read more]

Before I read your post, I decided to watch a 12-1.2 minute PBS Newhour summary after all, and found it more interesting than expected. Watch how many hands went up when asked if they would vote for Trump if he was convicted, around 3:55.

Yeah, Trump has to work on his “I’m innocent” look. I’m sure this look appeals to those thirsting for blood in the streets, however.
As for the debate, the ones who made the best showing were Nikki Haley, Vivek Ramaswamy, and Chris Christie. Note that two of those three are Indian-Americans.
Ron DiSantis’s slide continues. He’s turned into a…[Read more]

I didn’t watch the debate, because I don’t care. Still, for what it’s worth, here’s the current field, sans the Trump, for posterity.

Aug 24 2023 mug shot, Georgia. This pic is precious. His hair as perfect as it can be, and his facial expression is iconic, for a wannabee autocrat.

Is this paranoia? Is this the left’s fault, for pushing the GOP to entertain authoritarianist-like power grabs? To bring out their inner monsters? Is it just fake news from PBS?

I’m almost at a loss after watching this. I’m thinking our only hope may be to pick a Democrat in the primaries other than Biden. Any suggestions? What a fucked up, two-party duopoly we’re stuck with.
11 minute video.

Fighting Trumpism and Single Party Takeovers in the forum Politics 6 months, 2 weeks ago
This is a great summary of old news, Jan 6, but current because Trumpism is still a serious threat. I like this particular presentation produced by Ravi Gupta, one of my favorite journalists and commentators. It’s 10 minutes long.
(I’m sure the youtube warning is about cursing. Just click on “watch”.)

The Republican Party is succeeding because America is not a true Democracy. in the forum Politics 1 year ago
On the one hand, the Republicans complain that we should know the victor after the polls close because nobody wants to wait days, weeks, or months to find out who won. On the other, they are setting up a challenge process that could literally break the election process with no winner being…[Read more]

Unseen, I am sure we both recently have lost sleep over the FACT that the Furries are being pandered to and allowed to have their own litter trays in school. I suspect some will even have their names embossed on them in liberal lettering paid for by the taxpayers! Grrrgh!! At least some good Christians are standing up in protest against this…[Read more]

There is a miniseries which you can watch on Netflix and elsewhere called The Family. It explains the dark Christian mechanism for subverting and taking over U.S. government.
The sad thing is that now that it’s all unfolding before our eyes, there’s probably little that can be done to stop it. We missed the…[Read more]
