And Nixon's crimes were completely trivial compared to Trump. They probably wouldn't even break the top 100 by today's standards.

Nixon didn't go to jail. He was pardoned by Ford.
But his Attorney General, Chief of Staff, General Counsel, and top policy assistant were all convicted and served time.
In the Trump Administration, that is the equivalent of Stephen Miller, Pam Bondi, Kristi Noem, Russel Vought, etc.

The truly embarrassing part is how Trump will probably blame Ukraine for the fiasco when it falls apart rather than correctly blaming Russia.

Honestly, governors are doing better than Senators at the moment in time.
Hoschul, Pritzker, Newsom, Mills, Walz, Shapiro, etc.
I gotta think our 2028 nominee is going to come out of a governor's mansion, not Congress.

Refusing to pay your federal taxes quickly lands you into "Sovereign Citizen" territory. And that never ends well.
For the most of us with payroll jobs it isn't even possible. We can not file, but most of the taxes are withheld anyway.
self-employed who don't file end up in a world of hurt.

The electoral college also rewards/encourages voter suppression.
A state like AR or MS can drive down votes through voter suppression but still gets the same electoral college votes as a state with 2x higher voter turnout.

The US is the richest country on the planet and in the history of the planet.
We could have the world's best schools, free universities, high-speed rail, transit, clean energy, etc. etc.
But we are ruled by monsters which is why we can't have nice things.

The problem facing the GOP is that if they run an actual issues-based campaign they will lose. Because the public doesn't agree with them or their solutions on most of the issues facing this country.

The man reportedly has a PhD. And he's still going on about a college admissions exam score?
Isn't this like the academic version of the guy at the end of the bar going on about his HS football stats from 1987?

This was the master right here. And yes, I know Schumer was in that meeting too. But Pelosi was definitely the alpha.
