@walterbays Hur’s job concluded with his report. The actual transcript of his interview with Biden is much more favorable to Biden than his oral summary. Shades of Barr’s oral summary following the Mueller Report! Alas, everyone will remember the summary and no one will read the transcript of the report.
@walterbays Interesting suggestions, though I’d quibble with Warren as VP. She’s old too! How about Governor Whitmer instead?
@AskTheDevil We’ll see.
Biden won’t do it now, of course, but if he gets re-elected in November, he should get another Attorney General. Garland seems like a nice fellow, but he’s been a disaster for justice. Delaying any prosecutions of those involved in Jan. 6 until the election calendar would preclude any trials for the conspirators before November was terrible enough. But appointing Hur as the special prosecutor in the Biden classified documents case was the last straw. Hopefully, Biden will be able to can him.
@AskTheDevil Maybe one more just to say thanks for all their help.
Consider this: If Trump wins in November, Justices Thomas and Alito will likely retire, and two more MAGA justices will be appointed to SCOTUS. What’s the difference, you say. A simple exchange, right? Wrong! The newbies will be much younger and will be there for decades, cementing the right-wing agenda of the court for a generation.
@AskTheDevil I really don’t care how you feel about Biden or Trump. We have a forum here in which to express opinions, and you’re welcome to yours.
@AskTheDevil And that’s Biden’s fault? Another Trump administration giving more tax breaks to the super rich will improve their lot? Give me a break. Biden, through multiple measures, is trying to improve the lives of the poor. What has Trump done or will do in that regard, other than make it even harder for the poor to climb out of poverty?
@Wbtphdjd Exactly. All MAGA voters will complain about the economy despite their individual situations.
@stephen_a_allen Well, Johnson did nothing about MTG wearing a MAGA hat, even though it’s against the rules to wear any hat in the chamber unless it’s part of a religious belief. So MTG gets a pass because she ascribes to the Trump religion?
@realJanet You’re probably right.

If the Supreme Court says only Congress can disqualify someone from federal office...
What happens when Democrats win the House and take the majority on January 3, 2025?
Their first act should be the immediate disqualification of Donald Trump and ALL of his J6 co-conspirators.
@Priestess Hillary was the only candidate Trump could beat, and he still needed some lucky breaks. He’s got the same situation this time, with Biden the only Dem he can beat. But it works both ways. Trump is the only R Biden can beat.
@Razdawg22 He averaged 44+ points per game. He was a phenom. We’ll never see his likes again. A player that good now would jump to the NBA after just one year in college.
While I’m happy for Caitlin Clark and her setting a new college basketball scoring record set by “Pistol” Pete Maravich over 50 years ago, we should compare apples with apples. Maravich established the record in three years (freshmen then could not play on the varsity team) and there was no three-point shot yet. Clark is in her fourth year and has scored a ton of threes. Good for Clark and what she has done for women’s basketball, but let’s not forget Pistol Pete.
@johnldeboer The MAGA aren't just stupid. They're DANGEROUSLY stupid....and proud of it.
Did you see clips of Trump speeches over the weekend? Biden might stumble over a word or two, but at least what he says is intelligible and not a ranting word salad of sentences that aren’t even understandable English increasingly with Trump. Yet the MAGA crowd cheers with each nonsensical gaffe. Trump gets lost in mid-sentence despite having a teleprompter. But, of course, Biden is too old to be President
