Middle of the road kind of guy. Loved living in Asia and will be back there as much as I can. I gave over 40 years of service, in and out of uniform, to the United States and am having a hard time seeing what it was all for. Truly despise Donald Trump.

I wish I could believe that they would push back. But I am concerned they will just sit back and let it happen.

But Congress could expand the Court.

It will get worse after the election. These worthless bastards think the first amendment only applies to them.

Criticizing Trump in the starkest terms is not wishing him personal harm, and those who assert otherwise are engaging in a cheap attempt to silence the just accusations of Americans who are genuinely concerned about Trump’s dark vision for their country. www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

That's probably the best sign you were right. Never side with Peter Thiel's creation.

And this will inevitably lead to violence and mass murder. People will not quietly submit to this.
The number of people Trump says he'll deport keeps going up. It's now 20 million, 50% higher than the largest estimates of the undocumented population. It's clear sign that distinguishing legal from illegal won't be a priority. They're just going to round up people they don't want to be here.

I predict they will make a big show of raids in Feb 2025. The infrastructure won't be in place to hold a lot of people. If Mexico were smart they would resist accepting them. Then depending on how much pushback, they will stop granting green cards, quietly build the camps.

An untested judge appointed by Trump in his last days in office has, after slow walking the case for months, dismissed charges against him that he took top secret documents from the White House, refused to return them, and lied to the FBI and his own lawyers about it. Can an undecided voter get it?

Does drive me nuts that Team Biden seem to be under a horrendous misimpression that their job is to win over their own party and that's victory. It's not. Everything is who gets to 270. They need daily standups chanting it. "270" "270" "270". It's all that matters here. Everything else is sideshow.

I know, but Trump should be in prison too.

Liberals absolutely tripping over themselves to defend the honor of a guy who literally moments before being shot at, was threatening the most heinous violence towards immigrants Respectability politics is just leftists jerking themselves off, the right doesn't fucking care until they can use it

Wait till he takes the Trump defense. He switches parties and the GOP embracing him, just like their President nominee.

Jesus H. Christ. This is way too much effort. I just asked a simple question . And for the record I enjoy Bouie's columns. I don't like NYT rooting for Trump however.

Mike Johnson also walked off the convention stage when his teleprompter fritzed. These are the same guys saying Biden should resign because he uses a teleprompter.

I really think this weekend confirms Jon Stewart's criticism of 24 hour news networks . They are built for 9-11 and when they don't have that they just make things up to fill the time.
