What did y’all say yesterday? “This doesn’t mean a thing until the Supreme Court weighs in on it.” And to be honest, the Supreme Court will have to create their own legislation to make this “official.”

Smartly written article. [Hidden Content]

Trump 2028!! “The Fourth Time is the Charm!!!”
-
So now you’re believing the polls again? ”only the ones I like.”
-
“But have you seen the size of his rallies?!!” 😂🤣😂

She did four years ago!

Kinda like when the Rs keep nominating the same ol’ loser?

And for what it’s worth, my 401k hit an all time high yesterday, everybody that wants a job has one… the economy was wrecked when Trump handed it over, and it’s honestly not bad now. The borders have been closed and half of American prefer legal abortions. she’s in.
-
I think you’re completely right… if you could somehow resolve the fact that the most Americans hate Trump and will vote for ANYBODY else. That’s the biggest problem with a Trump candidacy. Because honestly, she and Biden beat trump in ‘20, and everybody figured Biden wouldn’t finish this term-and they still voted for her. Mix up a cocktail and pretend like Trump won-you’re as close as you’re over gonna get to another Trump win.

[Hidden Content] 79% of Dems are fine with Kamala replacing Biden. She has a higher approval rating among Dems than Trump has among Republicans. So much for that “she was only polling at 3% in the 2020 Primaries before she dropped out” way of thinking. “Madame President” is headed your way, thanks to nominating a failed reality TV star three times in a row. Trump 2028!!! Lololololol!!!!!

Schumer, Schiff, Pelosi, and Jeffries are now on the record saying that Biden needs to step aside. I think that he’ll emerge from COVID and announce that he’s releasing his delegates and endorsing Harris. Possibly leaving the nomination up for grabs (instead of anointing Harris), but dropping out of the race, regardless. That’s when we’ll find out for certain who the next President will be. The announcement will re-energize dem and undecided voters, the half-hearted “assassination attempt” will be a faded memory, and Trump loyalists will look back on this week (7/13-7/20) like they look back on election night in 2020… when they were so elated because they thought they’d had the presidency in the bag. Dems roll in ‘24.

But…. Those tax increases, combined with the more fiscally responsible spending of the 1990s were the last time we didn’t have annual deficits in Washington. If Bush hadn’t raised taxes, we’d already be insolvent. 75 trillion in debt and facing 20% internet rates on mortgages… and SS would have been broke already. Somebody is going to have to be a grownup at some point.

That’s what’s so disappointing… no one understands macro/micro economics. We need tax revenue to provide the services EVERYBODY wants. How about we cut taxes and eliminate Social Security for old people? How about we cut taxes and halve our military. Maybe we should stop doing any repairs to our infrastructure and cut taxes. No…. We want to say “hands off” about the programs that benefit us directly, but still have our taxes cut. Billionaires who don’t pay any income taxes are the heroes of right… most of whom are working stiffs. Reagan’s trickle down economics forced tax increases. Trump’s tax cuts created deficits that will require tax increases. It’s math. It’s not rocket surgery. The bad news is that a country can’t go into bankruptcy protection like trump likes to do.

I’d feel better if it was the last week of October, not mid-July.

What ever happened to the coach that got fired for running the baby fat off of those kids in HF? -
Two things I’m thinking- initial polls are showing no change in polling since the attempt on trump’s life this weekend. But that’s also the same response after Biden’s disastrous debate. It seems like both sides are so entrenched that NOTHING is moving the needle. I believe that Trump’s choice for VP didn’t do anything to gain new votes-it’s just tossing a bone to Trump voters and ignoring the undecideds and/or Dems who are second guessing their own ticket. This thing is going to come down to the wire. It also concerns me that all of the momentum is going Trump’s way 3 and a half months out. Every year in an October there’s an NFL team or two that looks unbeatable- and they either miss the playoff or get blown out in the first round. 3 and a half months is a lifetime, politically speaking. Every time somebody yells “Trump Train” or “Too Big to Rig” it just steels the resolve of people who don’t want Trump to be elected. It would be really smart of Trump and his followers to tone it down and try to lull the other side to sleep. If it looks unwinnable, the Ds will adjust, no doubt. It would be really smart to rein in the BS while it looks like you’re slightly ahead.

Trump Classified Documents Case Dismissed
CardinalBacker replied to SmashMouth's topic in Political Forum
I love the way that no court’s opinion means a thing until the 6-3 Supreme Court weighs in on it. Or at least that’s the way that the Rs feel these days. “Oh, yeah? That conviction don’t mean _____ until the Supreme Court hears it.” For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. We WILL see an activist, leftist court shortly, and y’all aren’t going to like the way that tastes. #makecourtsimpartial -

Meh…. It’s not like anybody is doing the Mustang Mile, anyways. Not even the Mustangs. -
Beaumont PD new Chief of Police search
CardinalBacker replied to Chester86's topic in Local Headlines
My hero Klein says that they’ll appoint an interim chief and then select the actual chief next year after the election in May-the thought being that a change in the board makeup will enable the DEI hire that the city manager and minority members of the council want to make. it’ll be interesting to see what happens. -
Trump Classified Documents Case Dismissed

[Hidden Content] Dem Senator from NY convicted on corruption charges today. IN NEW YORK. Where they are supposedly biased and weaponized against Republicans. A lie, apparently. Also notice how his Democrat colleagues are calling for Senator Menendez to step down... How very un-Republican of them. Both sides are corrupt, the Rs just can't see it from their own. The dems really are the good guys these days. -
Or, they could just be like you and be wrong 100% of the time.

To be clear, DJT does NOT have a final solution in mind. There’s no indication of that-period. BUT it’s obvious that he generates the kind of support from his minions that they WOULD do whatever he asked of them. His rallies literally look like Nazi rallies with the banners and flags. When have you seen another politician generate that kind of support since the early 1940s? I think that a lot of people (myself included) aren’t comparing Adolph to DJT in terms of atrocities, but rather by the loyalty that he enjoys from his supporters who will look past any misdeed since it was “for the benefit of the country.” I always wondered how Hitler convinced the people of Germany to go along with his evil scheme. Watching MAGA overlook and excuse abhorrent behavior, I finally see how it CAN happen. That comparison is warranted.

I don’t know if she’s qualified, but she has actual experience in the department-that fact gets conveniently left out, though.
-
I'm gonna have to agree with Reagan on this one... Biden picked Kamala Harris from a pool of women of color-no one else was considered. That's a DEI pick, without question. [Hidden Content] Who knows if she would have been qualified otherwise? We'll never know, because she was picked primarily because of her skin tone and genitalia. That's not much of a victory for people like her, in my mind anyways.

Good job! Now the people who were already going to vote for Trump are definitely going to vote for Trump! I swear trump doesn’t want to win.
