Re: Can the Republican Party Be Saved?
One of Trump's top picks for VP. Nice gal https://www.rawstory.com/noem-dog/ There's a large farm in my family. I understand putting animals down that are suffering (due to age or sickness), but killing animals because you just don't like them really isn't a "tough decision that happens all th...

Retired judge Michael Lutti g weighs in ... https://x.com/judgeluttig/status/1783542480069185587 As with the three-hour argument in Trump v. Anderson, a disconcertingly precious little of the two-hour argument today was even devoted to the specific and only question presented for decision. The Cour...

Re: Can the Republican Party Be Saved?
Curious your thoughts on the SCOTUS presidential immunity hearing today. Do you think SCOTUS some how gives Trump cover? Substantively, I believe the U.S. president, current or former, is immune from prosecution for official duties he performed while in office. The key question is whether the court...

Barr won’t leave his tribe. It’s self preservation for him.

Gee...was this a bad idea? https://twitter.com/AZGOP/status/1338600278459727872 Looks like election fraud?

I won't be there to help this November, but there's still hope for Bucks (the county that arguably gave Biden Pennsylvania in 2020).

Re: Can the Democrat Party be saved?
Yeah he's right. Trump wasn't there - he sent his minions to do the dirty work, then he went and hid in his office where he repeatedly refused to do anything as his minions breached the capitol and beat up capitol police. Yes, requesting 10,000 National Guard troops to be on site to maintain peace ...

Re: Can the Republican Party Be Saved?
But this is the history of the Christian church. Rome became a theocracy, and then the various monarchies of medieval Europe were basically Christian theocracies and did things like the inquisition and the crusades, and the oppression of Christian theocracy didn't really end until the enlightenment...

Re: Can the Republican Party Be Saved?
But this is why I think government should be utterly and totally secular. Regardless of what you believe, other people can twist their religion to justify all kinds of things. Christ had a chance to establish a Christian Theocracy and didn't. Christ followers thinking Christ would want the US to be...

Re: Can the Republican Party Be Saved?
Yeah I think that is pretty spot on. When I was a teenager, I was a bit of a right-wing evangelical nut, and what attracted me to it was this notion of fighting for good against evil. Then I grew up and realized it was all shades of gray rather than black and white, but a lot of people I know from ...

Re: Can the Republican Party Be Saved?
That's not what I'm saying. I know some fairly intelligent people who are hard-core Trump supporters. You don't have to be a simpleton to act based on your emotions. Politics is largely driven by emotion on both sides of the aisle. Maybe some truth to the below? We see it with MAGA and now the Pale...

Re: Can the Democrat Party be saved?
The DEI initiatives are quickly forgotten when the cause isn't something universities agree with ... this is why a strong, pro-democracy, Republican party is critical. As a nation, we're better off with two equally strong pro-democracy / rule of law parties. Watching the leadership at some of these ...

Re: The Trials Of Donald Trump
I am actually very disappointed that this is the first one to go forward. Why do you think it's such a weak case? Because they are trying to stretch a statute that wasn't really meant to cover this case to make what he did a felony criminal offense. It's also questionable to me whether this payment...
