Virginia revised congressional map would tilt 10 of the state's 11 U.S. House districts toward their party.

Now THAT'S the way you play politics!!!!!!!!!

Republicans Fear Trump Backlash Could Cost Them the Senate

Typical of cowards: blame someone else. Republicans knew that what Trump doing wasn't going to sit well with the American people yet they went along with him anyway; like sheep being led to the slaughter. Now they are going to try and distance themselves from him but it won't work. People are pissed with Trump AND his enablers.

Longtime GOP lawmaker Ed Clere says the Republican Party has become "unrecognizable" under Trump.

Republicans have tolerated MAGAts for a long time because their votes were needed. Until, Trump came along, MAGAts were held in check. Trump unleashed them and now Republicans are left to clean up the mess. Because MAGAts are so active in the primary, there is no way out for Republicans except to vote for the democrats. It's going to take several cycles of losing "BIGLY" for Republicans to be in the ascendancy within their own party.

Reasons for Why Gabbard was at Fulton Co. Election Office Raid Shift

Trump was not expecting Gabbard to explain why she was there. I think she is telling the truth i.e. that Trump ordered her to be there and now Trump was to claim he had nothing to do with her being there. As with most things that go south, he is trying to feign ignorance. Trump is trying to convey the message that the DNI being there suggests foreign interference in the election; an excuse to get the federal government more involved in local (democratic) elections.

@#1 ... Hmmmm deescalation or did they get so much pushback from the military that they had to back down? ...

If there are any retirements, firings or demotions within the next few weeks, my guess would be that there was pushback from the military.

Poland's going to investigate Trump's intelligence ties with Russia, and Poland will find them.

The Europeans are going to be the ones that sink Trump. It is to their advantage to do so!

Not only will Trump fall, but so will his enablers and many elected Republicans that are likely caught up in all of this as well.

Get'm

Replacement theory is just a conspiracy theory, or is it?

It's a fact! Businesses don't stop hiring because whites are poorly represented in the labor pool. No longer can whites count on their skin color giving them an advantage and many of them resent it. Businesses want workers that can get the job done. The more skills and knowledge you bring to an interview, the better your odds are at getting that job. And, if you can be hired at a cheaper rate than someone with similar qualifications, you get an even bigger advantage.

Yes. Replacement theory is real but not for the reasons lazy, good-for-nothings want to talk about.

Epstein kept kompromat on Trump, and Trump keeps kompromat on his "friends". The better to keep everyone in line.

Hmmm... Helps explain the complete capitulation of republican elected representatives in Congress!

Trump has no friends in Western Europe that will put a lid on any information likely to implicate him. If he's dirty, they will be all to happy to reveal it.

Trump Says Americans 'Can't Have Guns' at Protests

More confirmation that he'll say anything to get through the moment!

His statement is soo.. contrary to the views of the 2nd Amendment crowd that even the NRA had to come out against it!!!

So what can/is the judge doing about it?

The Florida Bar downplayed a congressional finding that Matt Gaetz, President Trump's first choice for U.S. Attorney General, committed statutory rape

I guess none of the members of the Florida Bar that evaluated Gaetz has underage daughters?

If enacted, the proposal could save consumers $100 billion per year in reduced interest payments

No way the banks are going to give up that amount of money. That was a bridge to far and I am sure the bankers made their position very, very clear.

Republicans want Canada to ignore Trump

Republicans should take their own advice.

And, will the corporations be sending checks to you and I, because that would be the right thing to do?

I don't think there is any way to force corps to rebate the money directly to customers, they probably couldn't do so even if they wanted. What could be done would be to publish the names of the corps receiving rebates with the expectation that customers could demand price reductions for future purchases equivalent to the size of the tariff rebate.

lower rates would cause them to lend less to riskier borrowers with patchier credit

IOW: Charge everyone the same rate irrespective of their credit history and in this way, people with better credit support those that don't.

If banks really wanted to demonstrate the truth of that statement, they would peg their interest rates to the credit worthiness of the card holder!

A right wing talking head on CNN this morning said that Trump was just joking when he spoke about not having elections; that he was just trolling democrats. Some things you just don't joke about. You would think people would get that through their thick skulls!

When Trump says these things, he is testing the waters to see how much push back he gets. Little to no push back: he thinks it's ok. If he gets push back, he identifies the pushers and prepares counter measures, refines the messages and repeats; each time building momentum and adherents as well as opposition. The Greenland issue is a notable example. However, as a result of NATO holding exercises to support Denmark, they have put a stop to his "everything is on the table" talk. Instead of talking about "everything is on the table", NATO is actually putting everything on the table.

it's going to happen. Better now than when people start voting. If it's done now, the courts will have time to weigh in without jeopardizing the vote. If he does it while votes are being cast, some people may be unwilling to turn out and vote.

The US should not attack Iran openly. It should support the protestors by providing them with support, small arms, intel, etc. They struggle needs to develop its own leaders and that won't be accomplished if they let others do the fighting for them. But, if Trump holds true to form, he won't be able to resist jumping out in front of a parade and taking credit for anything positive that might occur.

I don't think there has ever been a bigger POS in all of human history!!!

I'd like to see a bill that excludes from federal, state or local office, anyone that is also a citizen of another country.

What makes Newsome appealing as a presidential candidate is that he is from CA, an unabashedly leftish state. Just as Trump is willing to impose his personal views on America and let the courts figure it out, Newsome is willing to impose leftish views on America. After Trump, the country will need to make a sharp left turn, UNDO EVERYTHING that Trump has done, claw back every dime that Trump and his acolytes have stolen, give all Trump appointees the boot, hire back as many employees that Trump has gotten rid of that want to return, rebuild/re-establish all agencies, tear out all of the "renovations" that Trump has made to the WH and its campus, etc., etc., etc. And, last but not least, fumigate the f'n place.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said Minnesota did not have jurisdiction.

Not having jurisdiction is different from cooperating in the investigation. Do leaders on the right thing that all people that hear their words are as stupid as they are? That must be it. They think that because of their position, they are the sharpest knives in the drawer and that anything they say to the masses will be believed.

Sens. Josh Hawley (Mo.), Lisa Murkowski (Alaska), Rand Paul (Ky.) and Todd Young (Ind.) " "should never be elected to office again."

When the time comes, that should be 4 sure votes for impeachment.

Trump Slams Clooneys for Acquiring French Citizenship

Not a problem as long as they don't run for elected office here in the US. Those with dual citizenship here in the US should have to drop their citizenship in other countries in order to serve in elected office here.

US 'captured' Venezuelan President Maduro

Sounds like what H. W. Bush did regarding Manuel Noriega in 1989 but with a less legal framework.

The end does not justify the means.
