Its awful to hear an ex president speak so nasty about the current President.

If we are lucky enough to see Trump lose on Nov 3, i look forward to seeing you apply this standard consistently every time he bitches and moans about Joe Biden.

#27 That's the thing; Barr wouldn't falsify anything. Barr could release a memo that basically says "FBI and DOJ are looking into' the following conduct by Joe and Hunter Biden _________" and then let Trump run with it. I think you're missing how little Barr would actually have to say in order to give Trump something to weaponize.

Barr would risk losing his license to practice law

I don't think releasing a facially accurate memorandum that provides Trump a lane to twist things into something they're not would put Barr's license at risk. He isn't stupid; he knows how to thread a needle.

#20 I think he's openly trying to pressure them to do something inappropriate to assist him politically, the implication being that if he wins they get a chance to keep their jobs.

I don't count Barr out to do something next week. I'd be more surprised if he didn't.

What's a bit more likely to happen is Wray or Barr will release a memo that basically says nothing, is packed with legalese that most people don't understand, but contains just enough that Trump can twist it into a political attack on Joe Biden via his son.

Wray is only out if Trump wins. Firing your FBI Director and appointing a sycophant to investigate or indict your opponent this close to the election would be obvious even to the biggest mouth breather out there. I fail to see how it could possibly move the needle.

I like seeing what liberals consider important

Is that why you called for a flag limit 12 hours ago?

All of Trump's false flags and "October Surprises" have fallen flat.

I assume the worst is yet to come. Trump has massively shortened Americans' political attention spans. I'm guessing he will drop something late next week that will take a few days to disprove but the damage will be done.

Weird, that was meant for another thread. Oh well.

Also, Republicans rail about the size of government, the lengthiness of the US Code and it's regulations, and claim we should be able to file our taxes on an index card, but suddenly gigantic stacks of government paper are supposed to be a good thing? Someone explain how they reconcile this.

Aside from how tacky it is to throw a massive binder into the arms of a 78 year old woman to make your infantile point that lots of paper means you did something, we need to give Trump credit for accuracy - he has zero plan and the blank pages reflect that.

#43 So no response other than to whine about flags, something I can't control. Why bother posting here? You have no interest in good faith dialogue. Piss off.

I wish Republicans would be honest about the fact that, more often than not, more people vote for Democrats and that they like the electoral college because it artificially inflates Republican votes.

If the NBA allowed baskets scored by teams from particular favored areas to count for more points than baskets scored by all the other teams, nobody would call that anything other than rigged. So just admit that it's rigged and that you like it that way. I would respect that honesty so much more than this -------- about 65M voters being a "mob" but 62M voters somehow being some distinct minority that needs protection. You don't. You need better ideas, that people actually like, and you don't have them.

we have the Electoral College so that the same hand full of states don't continually decide year after year what is best for the country as a whole.

So tired of reading this nonsense. Aside from the fact that 80% of Dem votes in 2016 came from places other than NY and CA, we do have the same handful of states deciding the election year after year. It's just states you happen to like better than NY or CA. Stop pretending presidential candidates need national appeal to win the electoral college.

If the parents are found in Mexico and Central America, then that's where we send the kids. Make the country reunite them.

Did you read the article --------? The parents cannot be located. So sending children in our custody to another strange place where they cannot find their own family is compounding the injury we inflicted upon them.

If someone had your child and couldn't find you, would you want your child to be sent to an airport to fend for themselves? Just shut up dude, you are sick and pathetic.

I hope they show it including him getting up and leaving.

They will. It's newsworthy that the President of the United States is emotionally unable to handle speaking with a septuagenarian news reporter.

Part of me wonders if the walkoff was planned in advance to feed Trump's constant whining about media bias.

Shouldn't the court demand an actual affidavit from Trump himself, since it was his tweet that started all this?

Isn't anything Meadows says hearsay on its face?

Yes.

But I think the judge realizes the likelihood of Trump challenging any such order that he, as President, avail himself of this litigation process (as he does 100% of the time with respect to everything else) so in the interest of reaching a resolution it seems the judge is willing to accept less than the best evidence.

Trump does 2 rallies a day because he knows he will oversaturate the media and get into at least a few more peoples' heads as a result.

The MSM should have stopped covering his rallies years ago.

They've been trying to defund the federal government for decades and the best way to achieve that is to undermine our faith in those institutions. But Trump? I really don't see evidence that he has the capacity to think on that level

It's a fair enough point, but diminishing faith in our elections and institutions is how he won in 2016 and he may need people to continue losing faith in government to win another election.

#9 Excellent post. I would only add that we cannot rule out that causing the nation to lose faith in its institutions was intentional; Trump thrives on chaos and division and this may well have been his plan and not just terrible, cowardly governance.

*while

Lol. Does it start with a lesson on reducing revenue by increasing spending like the people you vote for like to do?

If the Governor of Michigan were a man, Trump would not have picked this fight with him.

Trump likes to bully women, when he isn't sexually assaulting them.

If you vote for Trump you are a disgusting person.

The claim that it was racially motivated is nothing more than simple opportunism.

That's pretty stupid, even for you.

I'm thinking that about 100% of racists in the audience laughed at his "mispronunciation," and maybe 50% of non-racists. At minimum he was catering to the racists in his audience. If we're going to really strain to defend the guy (like you are), I think the absolute farthest we can go is to say he was ignorant of how appealing to racists his pathetically childish "mispronunciation" would be.

In the meantime, grow up. You sound like someone who could be smart if you tried, but you choose to remain in the dark.

Eberly excoriating people for missing the nuances of an issue is the funniest thing i've seen all week.

Thanks for the laugh!
