Nothing is stopping every single Democratic elected official and apparatchik from taking the airwaves every single day to articulately and decisively repeat a set of cogent talking points about Trump (ie 45). Nothing. Dem PACs could be slamming him with ads now. Stop whining and do that.

On this July 4, please pause to remember that one of the colonists’ complaints in the Declaration was that the Crown was paying its judges.

The landmark reversal nullifies all previously lawful forms of right and makes it very difficult for Americans to make ethical decisions or be generally decent human beings without facing criminal charges.

Guys being among the operative words here. Lotta pissed off people if anything happens that doesn't simply replace Biden with Harris his vice president. Choose the dude you want to serve with her. But choose her.

Got up this morning, read the debate headlines, then watched it. What I saw was not what the media described. Here's how I would describe it: "Biden recovers after early stumbles while Trump spends debate spewing racist lies and refusing to promise to accept the results of the elections."

My son around that age, playing "you evil woman" for me at the breakfast table, thinking he's all that. When I tell him that's the music of my life, he asks if I ever played it for Grandma. Sometimes the dots connect so easily lol.

It is very funny how one of the Supreme Court’s big issues is making it impossible to outlaw bribery because they like being bribed
