At least Wilson was competent and qualified for the job.

What we really need are Michigan, Ohio and Pennsylvania.
It will go to the SCOTUS first and if they overturn the decision then it’s back to square one. Even if they don’t overturn the decision, it also still depends on enough swing states also barring Trump from running, since Colorado is a blue state that he was never going to win anyway.
What we really want are states like Michigan, Ohio and Pennsylvania to bar him from running. Then he really would be fucked.
There are still some pro-Ukraine Republicans, especially in the Senate. They are nowhere near the majority however, but if enough of them decide to do the right thing (not likely, I realize) and vote with the Dems, a deal can still be made. Not going to happen until late January or February though.
They are unreachable. Ignore them. It’s the few remaining honest-to-god swing voters that we need to reach and convince.
This is not a coherent position. You’re basically just talking about feelings, not actual facts or policy.
Also, where can I find this “Americans second” message you speak of? Where did you see or hear that? Are you sure you’re not making it up?
Because if he loses, he’s going to face the consequences of his crimes. That has to matter. The rule of law has to matter.
Podcast Republic. I don’t know if it’s the best, but I’m used to it and it does everything I want and nothing I don’t want. It’s also open source.
Same, but I still use Google docs to store copies of all my published work.
I like Podcast Republic because it’s easy to keep it simple for troglodytes like myself who don’t want or need all the bells and whistles.
I did too, but what we do have proof of, in the form of hours and hours of grisly trauma-inducing footage, is quite bad enough. While we can rightly condemn its overuse, there is no universe in which the Israelis can be blamed for reacting with force.
Yep. You don’t need a fancy graduate degree in IR to know this. US policy in the Middle East has always been a pretty open book. The fact that it’s often been disastrous isn’t evidence of some vast conspiracy to keep the Arab world down. To the contrary, it’s evidence of deep stupidity, hubris, arrogance and wilful ignorance on the part of US leadership. Never attribute to malice that which can more easily be attributed to stupidity.
Oh good, whataboutism always takes a conversation to interesting places, said no one, ever.
Came to this thread for my daily dose of trite cynicism. Was not disappointed.
Oh good! I was hoping for some defeatism in the face of a relatively positive bit of news.
You shouldn’t let it bother you. Life is too short. Just ignore it.
Biden thought that Trump would be politically finished if he lost the 2020 election --and in a rational world he would’ve been-- but he underestimated both the cowardice of Republican leaders and the slavish devotion of Trump’s followers, as did many of us, myself included. That’s why he feels obligated to take the safe route instead of stepping down. If Trump was gone or otherwise not the existential threat that I and many others believe he is, I doubt very much that Biden would be running again.
Trump won’t win the nomination in 2028, so if he’s still alive and still semi-intelligable, he’ll launch a third party campaign that splits the conservative vote and gives the Dems 4 more years. You saw it here first.
This is by far the more accurate historical analogy.
That can be an element of genocide, but you need more, otherwise we could say that putting kids into foster care is a type of genocide, which is silly.
