Fix the economy! World Peace, end all the wars! Reduce health care costs! Eliminate liberal orthodoxy! Reduce everyone's taxes! You guys are funny. Either you don't understand how complex these issues are, or you really do want an authoritarian in charge.

Gross. Of all the misgivings I have about Trump, this is the biggest. Essentially declaring the POTUS to be above the law is the ultimate slippery slope, especially given who we just elected. I can't believe anyone would ever be in favor of a president being able to pardon themselves. So unAmerican.

I am super curious about where all the righties around here that excoriate pretty much every news source get their news. Usually when asked they get sheepish. You don't need to trust the NYT, but if the alternative is Breitbart or a similar highly partisan source, you're still getting crap information. Enlighten us, Geek Club! WORDS THAT SHOULD NEVER BE SPOKEN, BUT DESPERATE TIMES AND ALL

Who is Biden saying "you're cool" to?

It would be great if the Dems took this one to heart and did some soul searching, but who are we kidding? I see four years of chaos with Trump (most here will disagree of course), midterms in 26 that swing WAAAAY back over to the democrats, which will mean to them that 24 was just an aberration, so no need to learn any lessons from the whole thing. I will never forget that a few months prior to Trump winning in 2016, the narrative was that the GOP was fundamentally done as a party. 8 years later, here we are. The DNC will pull the same kind of Lazarus story. Don't ask me how, nothing makes sense anymore.

Allow me to make some suggestions, Tim. First, your issue seems to be more with polling than the media. As was pointed out, the polls were all within MOE. You just got over your skis. Secondly, stop watching/listening to your news and start reading it. IMO, it's much easier to identify bias via the written word than it is to identify deceptive editing. And stay the hell away from social media, always. I still trust the MSM as much as I do other news outlets, but everything comes with a grain of salt. The proliferation of news sites pretending to be something they are not muddies the water as well.

Meh. He very much invites the poor treatment.

Report back to us and enjoy that time you will never reclaim.

Does this party have the capacity to realize how deeply flawed they are? I've been waiting for 30 fockin years for them to get their shite together and they have yet to do it. Four more years of the turnip will probably make them dumber and more reactionary.

Yep. Congrats. Let's all hope that those of us that despise our POTUS elect are wrong about his motivations and what he'll do when back in office. I'd be ecstatic to be mistaken.

I was thinking the same. Cue Bugs Bunny: "He don't know me very well, do he?"

Federally funded Medicaid and Medicare facilities and Head Start programs were required to have employees vaccinated. This is a no-brainer from a public health perspective.

Nobody has been drafted in this country for over 50 years. You're whining about shlt that literally never happens.

Which is perfectly within their rights as private organizations.

The administration did not do that, their employers did. You know, to protect the sick people the nurses (not just females) were caring for. That's the big difference.

100%. However, if there was potential profit and adulation in human incineration, the conversation might be different.

True. More proof that Trump is uniquely awful.

This is MAGA. Some opportunist, maybe Vance, maybe someone else, will do their very best to become the "next Trump." Gaetz, Jordan, and Comer all seem like big enough scum-sucking gutter slugs to make a run at it. I'm sure there are plenty of others. Hell, Trump might just remain as the kingmaking figurehead from prison. We're not lucky enough for this to just go away.

You are a great American. Thank you for your service.

You're right. But we won't let him because he will lose, not because of anything nefarious or illegal. Whatever happens, I hope I can continue to read and enjoy your incisive wit here. Don't disappear down some rabbit hole of hate and lies or become a domestic terrorist if it doesn't go your way.

I have similar rigs heading to Iowa and Wisconsin shortly. You can't beat the DEEP STATE!!!!

The next few weeks are gonna be fun, as long as we don't get picked off by violent, rioting MAGA goons.

Your people imply that every abortion is one of convenience. Both tactics are stupid.

Why should they? He's going to lose. This is not a peewee soccer game, KD's cousin. We do not swear in the loser for participating.
