Pelosi was always good at getting under Trump's thin skin. She transitioned herself out of leadership smoothly.

It's nice that Emmett gives us the short cut to the latest MAGA conspiracy nonsense. Do you think he believes any of the stuff he posts?

If/when Biden drops out, the next question, in my mind is: what does Biden do next? Does he become a messenger for a specific issue - maybe saving American representative democracy from Trump and MAGA? The threat of a 2nd Trump term is what propelled him into the race in 2020. Or does he focus on governing and explaining all that was done to build back from the wreckage left by Trump's incompetence?

You're presenting evidence supporting gun controls - well done. I never thought you'd see a light from that dark echo chamber you live in.

Yes, I do need more of a reason - Biden was competent at governing Trump was incompetent. Four years ago we were fighting over toilet paper - that's the Trump legacy.

White Jesus

I disagree with you. He doesn't hate facts, he hates all the facts. He loves cherry picking bit of pieces of random numbers that support his preconceived bias. Thankfully he's probably not involved in any job that requires objectivity.

You're assuming that MAGA extremists would have a problem with that? Look at their track record of attacking representative democracy. Supreme Court welcomed a flood a dark money into elections with Citizens' United (against democracy). The Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act. De Santos refused to implement an Initiative passed by Florida voters to re-instate voting rights to people who had completed their jail time. The list goes on and on of attacks on democracy by the MAGA element in the USA.

I have wondered about that. There have been hundreds of lawsuits against Trump over the last 55 years or so. Being in court is not a new thing for Trump, it's his second home. Opposition research is missing an opportunity to showcase what Trump thinks of average Americans. Small time contractors being stiffed by Trump.

Packing the judiciary was Mitch McConnell's work - who oddly got booed at the convention for all his work to undermine the rule of law. McConnell prevented Obama filling judgeships which Obama was Constitutionally expected to do, leaving vacancies for Trump to step in and fill. Trump takes credit for the damage done by McConnell, and then McConnell gets booed for not being slavish enough. Even amongst the minions MAGA is unforgiving.

Loud. Do they do anything else?

Harris/Shapiro. Imagine, A Black/South Asian woman and a Jewish man - a segment of the MAGA extremists heads would implode. (I chose implode rather than explode because nature abhors a vacuum.)

Being the glass half full kind of person that I am, at least Emmet gives us the Coles notes of the messaging from the MAGA echo chamber with out having to step into their swamp. While not applauded, his efforts to warn us of conspiracies to come can be acknowledged.

Married his husband three years ago? Is Santos aware of Clarence Thomas and Alito's plans to make equal marriage illegal again?

I read Hillbilly Elegy. I must have blocked out that factoid.

Quoting myself here. I made a mistake with the first sentence. While 86% of Democrats might be fearful for the Constitution and America with a Trump Presidency, 86% of them do not want him as a candidate, one who would energize their base and lead to the Republicans defeating themselves as they did in 2020.

Biden's weakness hasn't been governing - he's been a competent and consequential president - it's been in campaigning. Biden has not been able to hit the broad side of Trump's barn of lies with a coherent message. I've said this before, Biden isn't only running against Trump, he's also running against the former campaigner in chief Obama. Democrats got used to a cool articulate candidate who represented a generational change. It's unusual in politics to go back to an older generation (the elderly Trump and Biden) once that generational change has happened.

You're right. I made a mistake. I've corrected the mistake now. I'm doing what the New York Times does, and FOX opinion never does. Admit a mistake and correcting it.

I don't think Vance hates Trump. He might not respect his incompetence, or his laziness, but I doubt he hates him. I could see Vance admiring Trump's ability to lie without remorse and peddle bullshit as if it was fact. I expect Vance wants to learn from the master. Replace the master of course - he is ambitious - and throw Trump under the bus later in life if that suits is narrative of the moment.

Six attempts to insult people you don't know. Is there an MAGA Award for that behavior? The Excremee

Thank you again for your post. It's always good to get the conspiracy opinion from the MAGA echo chamber without having to get my feet wet in your swamp. In the same letter John Adams says: "Science and Morals are the great Pillars on which this Country has been raised to its present population, Oppulence and prosperity, and these alone, can advance, Support and preserve it." The extremist majority on the Supreme Court with their Christian equivalent of Sharia Law are out of step with the Founding Fathers' separation of church and state.

Amongst the stats you posted, the most telling one to me is that 86% of Democrats want Trump to continue as the Republican candidate for President. A majority of Americans may be nervous about Biden's age, but a majority of Americans hate Trump, his incompetence, his hate-spewing name calling and threats of violence.

The statement of the widow of the firefighter who was killed at the defeated former President's rally was interesting. Given the current climate and hate spewing by Trump, her words were measured. She declined to speak with Biden when he called, and also said that she had no ill will towards Biden. She said Biden didn't kill her husband, it was the 20 year old man who killed her husband. She declined to speak with Biden because her husband was a devout (her words) Trump supported. Devout. Think about that.

Thank you again for posting. You continue to demonstrate the inability of any extremist MAGA acolyte to voice any critique of the former defeated President. In the cult are you just not allowed to consider multiple opinions? Must you only parrot the Dear Leader's words?
