Another reason to vote for Democrat leaders is to get rid of the GOP backed "fast and loose" abuse of the U.S. Military, both State and Federal, that Trump (under the guise of MEGA) is using as a means to spread his brand of fear and intimidation.

Which any psychologist will tell you is a coverup of his own insecurity. Trump actually doesn't know what the hell he's doing and is scared to death of the truth.

No one has the right to make your choices for you. I hope it turns out OK.

However, I still follow the Cardinal Rule ~ Never give a Republican a political leg up for anything or anywhere, not even for dog catcher, until all traces of the MEGA junta have been dead for at least 100 years.

Because that probably how long it's going to take to erase the trauma, clean up their mess and restore a sane and responsible Democratic Republic.

Just Trump, doing his "thing."

I think it's called "Cutting off your nose to spite your face. ~ LOL

With Trump's immunity decision from the U.S. Supreme Court, I question what method Judge McConnell has at his disposal to enforce his decision.

We don't live in Mayberry USA any more.

Trump casts an evil menacing shadow over the GOP which has them acting like frightened -------.

My guess is that they'll weasel out a ruling as ambiguous as possible with a wide-ranging definition of the word "emergency" left for Trump's cowardly Congress to decide on a case by case basis.

(I think we all know where that's going to end up.)

My feeling is this Roberts Court will protect themself with ambiguity before they protect the country from Trump.

Because they're smarter than Trump. Now the Portuguese own a perfectly good submarine to re-purpose.

How much property do the Saudi Royals own in the U.S. They seem particularly attracted to
deals that somehow involve Trump.

Johnson climbed aboard the Trump train wreck and now he sounds scared.

LOL ~ Okey-dokey, sucker.

And if I recall, they did so WITHOUT a referendum.

Is this a version of Chinese black-ops CIA?

It would appear (from his noteworthy absence) that even Peter Theil thought this half brother was a bad bet. Thus no coat tails.

Not the first brother who thought he had a shot at fame and fortune. Remember Billy Carter?

Also, does anybody here still remember the fake Bill of Sale for yellowcake?

That was all Cheney's doing.

LOL ~ I think Vlad just gave Trump the middle finger.

At least that's the way Trump will see it.

This on-again-off-again marriage is getting hilarious.

Sooner or later, it's going to come to blows.

Serious lacking in social graces, Trump will find some disgusting way to show his disrespect.

However, I'm inclined to think Cheney's family will have a private ceremony rather than let the funeral be turned into one of Trump's political vaudeville acts.

Plus, Trump would probably fire any member of his administration who still had some respect for Dick Cheney.

AU @ #43

"spoke out against Trump"

Cheney didn't redeem himself. He was all for a unitary executive with George W. at the helm and himself as the power behind the throne. That changed only when the power structure changed in D.C.

I think he still believed in a unitary executive. Just not somebody who is as tacky as Trump.

Apparently, Trump's message to swing the election with a cheap AI voice simulation fell flat.

I'll save my sympathy for Scooter Libby ~~ not the coward who let him take the fall.

Speculation is wide open. But Trump does follow a tried and true pattern, i.e. lying through his teeth over whatever scheme he comes up with.

It's what he does best.

Trump would have to issue an EO and then have it challenged through the courts all the way up to the Supremes. I can't image even a Trump appointed lower court judge signing off on that. If it was possible, Trump would have done that long ago.

No, I think he'll find a more insidious method, something backed up by highly speculative reasoning that would only pass muster with a cultist judge.

The FCC is also useful tool to Trump.

Actually, I'm surprised he hasn't gone after SNL.

Mocking Trump?

Ut Oh, Stormy Daniels might be in trouble.
