@TrueBloodNet Your Matthews is my Lemon. To each his own.
I thought Gaetz was an aficionado of Trumpism. So why did he withdraw from consideration so quickly? Deny, deny, deny, obstruct, obstruct, obstruct. He hadn’t learned that from his mentor? Then he’s too stupid for any job offered by Trump. Too bad. I was actually hoping his nomination would get to the Senate, so we’d see those Republican senators (Collins, McConnell, et al.) furrow their brows, wring their hands, then vote for him.
@MidnightRider The Democrats are feckless, and the Republicans take advantage of it. Tell me something I don’t know.
@MidnightRider They will do what you said. Trump doesn’t know how tariffs work, obviously, and his MAGA crowd buys in to his false narrative.He should’ve learned that lesson with his agriculture tariff during his first term, but he didn’t, and it cost the taxpayers big time. Here we go again.
@MidnightRider I was referring to your take on the media, not the effect of Trump’s economic policies or the lack of wisdom in those who voted for him.
@MidnightRider Not as cynical as you, but I hear ya.
@MidnightRider What their ass-kissing visit said to Trump - and everyone else - “We’re sorry for all those bad things we said about you, and we won’t do that anymore.” They’ve lost all credibility in commenting on Trump now. So maybe they’ll let their guests opine instead and respond with an Ari Melber-like “Hmm.”
@MakerWerks Trump ain’t leaving except in a coffin. And then we’ll have Vance to use “national emergency” as a reason to cancel elections. Which likely is Trump’s plan now.
Jack Smith is quitting, but he still has to deliver a report to the AG. Garland has the option of making it public. Will he? Don’t bet on it. The entire investigation apparatus is caving. Republicans are right. Democrats are wusses. You wouldn’t see Republicans doing that if the positions were reversed. They would spend the next four years trying to revive the cases. Obamacare is a case in point.
@gemswinc So you’re saying he”s a coward? Possible. Judges expect blowback, and death threats are a part of that.
