Would be interesting if the midterms was such a democratic sweep that they could impeach Trump. Sadly too many US people seems happy with war, more debt and worse quality of life.

I suspect it gets worse not better. Everytime he pushes the line and his side stays quiet or makes up obvious bullshit “reasons” why it’s OK he just gets bolder.

That being said Iran might own all the US by the time Trump is done winning over there. And if not then someone else will follow their blueprint.

Cool, Trump is drawing from Reagan. some random no-name KKK members may have adopted part of the slogan after 1979. who knows.

My bad, it was America first that was a 1920s KKK slogan. Interestingly Fred Trump was arrested along with a bunch of KKK members at an America First riot.

i have a red hat with "Creating Opportunity" written in white letters and some people assume its a Trump hat. It’s hilarious.

Epic prank. You’re tricking them into thinking you’re a moron with no grasp of politics or economics. If only they knew what we all know.

Who’d have thought wearing a hat in the same style as another hat with certain associations might have people making assumptions? Le epic troll

I think next, JJR should get a tattoo of the Buddhist swastika just to bait people into thinking it's the Nazi version.

"It's hilarious."

He should start learning kpop jestures to own the libs.

He's already been impeached twice, what's the big deal about three four or five?

Yeah and there's no way the final step - being removed from office, following impeachment - would ever occur.

It’s crazy that doing the right thing and following the rules, putting the country above your own interests, are all things that are seen as weakness. Doing that sort of thing makes someone unelectable. And not only as it was in the past, where those people didn’t just get the money. But now it’s also the voters.

How many times is it now that they have stood down after escalations?

All while major economies are running out of oil reserves. Seems like a totally sustainable pattern the world can keep repeating.

Trying to understand Trump voters is not easy, but I want to try.

-They are not all idiots, and calling names won't solve anything.

-Most of all want something specific from him which is really important to them, and he needs to deliver on that point.

-If he does deliver in their eyes, he can do and say whatever he wants. Normal rules do not apply.

What the special thing they want is varies, but the Republicans have worked strategically for decades to build a group large enough to win elections. Afaik, they include:
-Lower taxes than the Democrats.
-Traditional "Christian" values, including abortion laws.
-Relaxed gun control laws.
-Strict immigration policies.
-Less regulation and government intervention.

Foreign Affairs is just not that important to them. Grocery and property prices will only seriously matter if the Democrats can convince them they actually have solutions. The Democrats do have their own corruption problems, so it is a hard sell.

The system can be broken if the Democrats manage get the wing voters, as well as steal from some of the groups. Putting openly Christian males on the ballot is probably the most effective.

Did I miss something?

John Oliver's LWT episode this week is about how Republicans have been gerrymandering states for explicitly racist reasons to increase their lead in the House of Representatives, and while Democrats are trying to catch up by gerrymandering back in retaliation, Black and liberal voters are losing ground thanks to the Supreme Court. The video features Donald Trump continuing to put his thumb on all the scales, Republican state leaders pulling some seriously shady shit, and Ron DeSantis doing an impression of Hakeem Jeffries that sounds exactly the way you think it would.

And if you quote mine things without context, it almost sounds like you're making a good point. Speaking of your unjustified comments, did you want to provide evidence yet of your claim that Biden is a bigger criminal than Trump?

You mean Iran attacks and US responds.

Why do people keep framing this like Iran isn’t the one walking the dogs?

What could I do to make not segregating voters by race for the sake of democracy move from almost a good point to a good point?

A lawmaker supporting the law on the books at the time does not a criminal make.

Trump is actively breaking the Foreign Emoluments Clause on a daily basis and him and his family are very obviously accepting bribes in order to influence his goverment, there are laws against that, unfortunately, the SC has made it so that Trump is immune from all of it, but he is still a criminal and a head of a massive crime family profiting every which way they can from his presidency.
So, are you a pessimist? - On my better days. Are you a nihilist? - Not as much as I should be.

Well, nothing really happened when people found out the Supreme Court was taking bribes, so it's only fair for them to share the privilege.

Or had their wife at Jan 6th, messaging the White House chief of staff or being directly involved in post-election lobbying to overturn it.

Since all the cases were thoroughly rebuked by the lower courts it didn't come to SCOTUS hearing the 2020 "case", but in one aspect that they did rule on, ability of Congress to request WH tapes regarding it the sole dissenting voice was, well, take a wild guess.

The SCOTUS has declined to hear adjudicated rapist Donald Trump's appeal of the finding that he raped E. Jean Carroll.
