these statements where he's joking about war crimes and denying them and then reversing himself...all that stuff is fodder for congressional investigations.

I don't think trump is working very hard.

could be! lots of elderly people live with chronic pain for years, though.

the MRI thing is weird and suggests something else might be going on, but who knows?

so...he might have a health event before the midterms. I'd say more likely than not he doesn't, but again, who knows?

we really don't have enough info to have much of a sense of what's going on with his health. I mean, his energy is obviously down and he's got some chronic though not super serious health conditions we know about. not unusual for someone that age.

oh yeah. she's terrible.

still obviously infinitely superior to trump though. sigh.

aw, geez. that's kind of you.

I don't know that the tariffs going away will help rs much, esp if trump rants and raves about how much he hates losing his tariffs. but I think the tariffs are really killing them in places like Iowa. ending them is what you'd do if you had a brain and wanted to try to win the midterms.

fair enough!

I get that people want to emphasize the monstrousness of Trump and his lackeys by finding and highlighting their most “innocent” possible victims but by placing that emphasis you are missing the point - the state does not get to summarily execute people it accused committing a crime without a trial

clinton sucks, but we really do not need to frame trump as "honest," which he is not.

I really dislike clinton, but she was absolutely not running on cutting the safety net in 2016.

the thing that lost her the election in the last week was Comey investigating her for email protocol nonsense.

also, she won more votes than trump.
