Yeah these people are strange and I'd never personally be caught dead looking like this. But the thing is, so called MAGA people are weird because they wear costumes and branded merchandise to attend political rallies or make political statements. You're liberal and woke weirdo does it because its a lifestyle choice. Its who they actually believe they are. Its their every day persona. That's not only weird but demonstrates mental illness.

I think the saying is something like "when your enemy is in the process of making a huge blunder don't interrupt them".

Congress is free to take up any legislative action or the President can propose laws to remedy any shortcomings you identify or other issues. But the executive branch shouldn't just issue decrees and rulings at the whim of the President and his political constituents or his favored special interests along with the administrative bureaucracy.

You must have missed the DEI lesson were the woke instructors blame one specific group of people for everything and everyone else is a victim of colonization and oppression or some other nonsense. You guys all buy this crap and ask no questions like obedient children. And were the tards. Okay then.

They'll do what they always do. I expect the President's working group on markets reporting into the Treasury is in emergency session this morning. The slang term for this group is the Plunge Protection Team. They're do the usual, save those rich hedge fund and billionaire political donors with the Fed flooding the markets with liquidity and maybe doing a surprise 50 point cut in rates.

I respect your perspective and opinion but another perspective on what the SCOTUS has done is curtail powers of the central government's executive branch and returned the authority they've encroached upon back to the States and Congress. Such as the Chevron defense case where regulators are free to interpret laws and impose legislative like actions on companies and citizens. Reducing the power and authority of the central government over the lives of the citizens enhances freedoms. It does not reduce them. If there's one concerning theme from my view over the past few decades is the encroachment of the executive branch on the authorities and powers of Congress, the courts, and the States. The real divide isn't left or right but rather people that support more federal control vs. people that want to reduce the power of the central government.

Or what we're doing now. Grow the deficit, increase government spending on useless projects, centralize more power and control with a dysfunctional federal government that hinders private business and industry, import 10 million dependents on social assistance, pretend the economy is in great shape, deny all reality, then act surprised and blame somebody else when the dumpster fire starts.. We've reached the dumpster fire stage right on schedule.

Having no firsthand observations at my disposal I can only go on news and information sources I have at my disposal. Viewing from afar one theme I see repeated is government doesn't address crime issues and problems associated with immigrants. They seem more concerned with punishing people reacting to criminal acts than finding and holding the perpetratorators responsible. Transforming them into the victim somehow. And as for providing any information to the public, forget it. I think we have the same problem on both sides of the Atlantic. That being government will do everything possible to avoid transparency and rather is concerned with suppressing criticism. This is an authoritarian traint not one of representative democracies. Unfortunately, absent facts people tend to make their own.

What motive did the suspect have to attack children?

Harris is going to run the 2024 version of Biden's successful 2020 basement strategy. Keep out of sight, redefine her as a moderate, avoid taking any firm positions on issues (other than abortion), and let political surrogates and the captive media campaign for her along with broadcasting constant negative messages about the opposition. And hope it works again. Once elected assume the Presidency for Obama's 4th term.

All Trump needs to do is stick with attacking this administrations record and point out Harris presents nothing new beyond thst record of failure. The country is in worse shape now than it was in 2019. Prices have risen 20-25 percent on average. Crime us up. Consumers are stressed, etc. Avoid the personal attack stuff. Stick to facts and figures. But we all know he won't because that is who he is and that's just turns off voters.

And now we've got bigger problems with Iran/Hezbollah. Take the loss here and move on.

You can't trust anything this liar says. What he lacks in honesty he also lacks in self awareness. We all know he's lying but he still does it.

More weapons won't do much good without troops to use them. Zelensky needs to increase conscription or coerce men of military age that fled the country to return. Neither is likely or popular. Otherwise, the only path to victory at this point is direct NATO or US intervention. Given other areas of potential conflict I can't see the administration or the Pentagon supporting that commitment. What the Europeans might do is up to them but direct intervention would be unpopular and costly. The most likely path will be some deal which cedes the ethnic Russian provinces or grants them complete independence from Kiev. Crimea will likely remain in Rusian possession. As it's been for hundreds of years before Kruschev transfered it to Ukraine in the 1950's. Ukraine will be granted EU membership. What happens with NATO membership, not sure. Like it or not that looks like what's going to happen.

If you're familiar with the hiring process and interviewing prospective job hires,all this feigning of praise is equivalent to the art of resume writing where job candidates tout themselves with god-like skills and experience. But upon inspection it proves to be much different. There's nothing extraordinary about Harris. It's all fake.

Like the Pretorian Guard surrounded and protected the Emperor, the American media has set up a parameter around VP Harris. It's the equivalent of Joe Biden's successful basement strategy during the 2020 COVID campaign which proved quite effective. "Playing not to lose the game" is a term most should be familiar with here and hoping the other guy makes the big mistakes is the strategy once again. She gets a nice bounce here, but I think an economy sinking into the stretch and difficult challenges internationally are serious headwinds for her campaign. A Fed rate cut in September might be too little too late and this week's decision to not cut rates is a major policy blunder which I expect will lead to a nasty market crash into the fall. Then all those crowing about how Biden has helped their 401K balances will be hit by the lightning bolt of reality. All other issues aside, as Jame Carville said years ago, "its the economy stupid"!

The people elected Chavez and his successor Maduro. Playing socialist identity politics. More free stuff in exchange for their freedoms. Now they won't relinquish power and fix elections. That's pretty much it.

I'm pretty confident this administration won't do much of anything beyond the standard we're monitoring the situation closely comments. Biden doesn't know where he is and Harris doesn't know where Venezuela is but is pretty sure its on planet Earth somewhere. With three or four balls in the air at once, Ukraine, Gaza (and maybe Hezbollah and Iran), Taiwan, and now Venezuela along with an election campaign to run taking any kind of action is too risky for November's outcome.

While playing the game with the lead at this point, the RNC leadership is concerned they're going to have to find more creative and extreme measures in order to blow the election in November.

People that are against voter identification laws that claim its discriminatory are actually motivated to allow ineligible voters because getting their preferred candidate elected is dependent on illegal voting. Using the social justice angle here is a con.

If seen this. In regular people language this means he'll declare a series of executive orders on day one to shut the border, reverse Biden administration energy policy, and other disastrous initiatives. What's weird is Biden appointing a bald guy with red lipstick wearing a women's dress stealing people's luggage at the airport.

Why would there be? They were an assortment of neocons and never Trumpers that worked to sabotage the administration and its a mystery why he selected them, and throw in Pence too.

Well you're certainly not. And all I'm waiting for is one of you geniuses that actually believes Trump is going to transition to a dictator if he wins to tell me exactly how he pulls it off. Come on. Details, Who else is in on the scheme? Generals? Billionaires? The Illuminati? I'm waiting, Anybody? Just a couple sentences. A few steps to the plan. Anything? Tell us how its going to happen. Otherwise you're just repeating bogus talking points. Its not a threat to democracy. Its a threat to democrats.

The common theme eludes your response. Jesus was persecuted because he was a threat to power. Like him or hate him, Trump presents a similar threat. I'm certainly not comparing Trump to Jesus on a personal character or behavior level.

They're saying she has a serious drinking problem.
