I'm at the point where I am accepting of the reality, but with the long game in view:

Don't prevent Trump from being on the ballot. He will win. We grit our teeth for four years and put all this behind us for once and for all on January 20, 2029.

Otherwise, HE WILL RUN AGAIN IN 2028 and we'll never be rid of that mf.

Your position here might be the right one.

That said, if SCOTUS rules Trump disqualified it would take another judicial decision or a 2/3 vote of Congress to allow him to run in 2028. At which point he will be 82, and, recent weeks suggest that age is hitting his mental faculties hard than Biden's. He mixed up Nikki Haley and Nancy Pelosi in an extended rant this weekend.

i don't think this reasoning is sound -- in 2028 he would be 81-82. Everybody ages and his threat proportionally decreases. Running for president is incredible physical exertion -- we'll see that this campaign, not one most 80 some year old men are equipped for, no matter how many billions in campaign funds.

If Trump wins, we may not get the chance to vote again.

With a Republican majority, Mike Johnson will not certify the election

We have gone through multiple snipe hunts based on Conservative delusions

Republicans said the following:

Obama was not born in the United States

There was/is a war on Christmas

We can’t say “Merry Christmas” anymore

Children are coming to school dressed as cats

Conservatives have seen litter boxes in public school classrooms

Books about Ann Frank and Martin Luther King Jr., should not be in school libraries

If tax-paying parents want their children to read those books, they should have to buy them

Only a group of women with a person involved in a threesome should dictate library purchases

Learning about slavery makes Black children feel

This despite Black children feel empowered knowing what ancestors overcame.

A 12-year old enough to bring a fetus to birth

That same 12- year old is not old enough to read a book with anything close to sexual content

A woman with a failed pregnancy needs to be a death’s door before receiving treatment

Blacks need to forget about slavery, but statues honoring enslavers should remain

The ist goes on

These people are not going to accept any result that does not agree with their worldview

They are threatening judges, court employees, election workers, etc.

They will not be going away.

Blue states send money to Red States

Red States lead the list of poorest states

Blue States have better health outcomes and longevity

Time to confront the Conservative madness now.

Hahahaha, you’ve been watching too much of The View or Rachel Maddow.

That aside, if you had an honest point to make you wouldn’t use all the extremes you could find for examples now would you. Give it a rest, it’s boring for the rest of us.

Typical Conservative response. Divert. Forced pregnancy is not a problem. Your nonsense only works on Conservative websites. I am not surprised that you don’t find anything wrong.

I simply listen to what the Republicans say. I don’t need Maddow or the View. Republicans embarrass themselves.

Yep. A lot of nutty stuff!

But, if I were Democrats, I wouldn't throw stones...

If Trump wins, democracy loses.

Then you haven't a clue what democracy means. Let alone a Republic. Ffs

The January 6th attack is being justified by the Republican Party. Those who attacked police are being called hostages.,a conman is the party leader. People within the party who complain are kicked out. The Republican Party is the group that has lost the meaning of democracy.

This site serves as a Linus blanket. You are free to rant with very little pushback. When your ideas are taken to the public, you lose. When you do put your economic policies in place, we get the economic collapse of Kansas. So-called economic experts said that we should be in a recession. Instead we have a recovery with growth in the stock market despite Bidenomics and DEI.

Chip Roy admits the GOP has been worthless from an economic standard. The Republics are so insane, they are willing to let pregnant women die by blocking doctors from delivering proper health care. They object to the teaching the full history of the United States, but want to maintain Confederate statues.

Watching a guy carrying a Confederate flag yell about his heritage while at the same time complaining about the cost of slaves sums up Nikki Haley’s nonsense about Confederate heritage.

We have to stop pandering to Conservative bullies. They will never be satisfied. When Republicans see they can’t win, they bum rush the legislative buildings in Michigan and Washington D.C. These people are not patriots.

Edit to add:

Trump supporters tried to stop certification of the election.

When Bush v Gore was decided, Democrats did not attack members of Congress.

Conservatives do not believe in democracy.

Just curious: do you watch a lot of MSNBC?

Expand full comment

No, I do catch occasional snippets on YouTube. Same goes for CNN. Haven’t watched ABC,NBC, or CBS in years. I do gather snippets of video of interviews with politicians. I have seen the gibberish that comes out of the mouth of Nikki Haley regarding Black people. I see Biden justifying a genocide. I listen to the rants of Donald Trump. I really don’t focus on anchor or pundit opinion.

Unless Trump or Biden die, it will be Biden vs Trump. Trump is the bigger danger. Trump was the guy who left his wife at the car when he first came up the White House steps. Trump is the guy who was recently not was not allowed to ride in the same car as his wife. His wife was the one blocking him.

Trump is the bigger threat.

Edit to add:

Do you listen to Fox or OAN?

Nope. Like you, I disdain major media.
