I'm old and cranky. But if you rub me the wrong way, pretty much the worst I can do is hiss.
MAGA has assiduously cultivated an environment where nothing they say can be believed, so no surprise that nothing they could release would be believable. When you work overtime to destroy trust in institution, it's poetic justice when nobody can believe a fucking word you say.

Based on what I've seen lately, they're pretty tasteless.

I'm too compulsive for gambling. I'm the type who hates losing so much that I feel compelled to keep playing until I win. But there are good shows, and great hiking nearby. Two days is about my limit, though.

They're starting to understand exactly how "great" tariffs are. That's why they're getting pissed.

They claim that enlisted people must assume that orders given by the Commander in Chief are legal, and the Supreme Court seems to have decided that the President can't be prosecuted for giving illegal orders. Combined, those are a recipe for tyranny.

Fair point. But Trump had a celebrity mystique, a certain kind of charisma, and the electoral benefit of being a male. She has none of those things. I just don't see her being able to overcome all that. I hope I'm not wrong.

At the time Biden decided to step down, she was the only viable option. A real primary wasn't feasible at that time. She did a remarkable job considering the constraints she faced. But, had Biden kept his promise not to run again, we might have had a better candidate. The fault is more Biden's.

Sadly, she's right that there is a significant number of voters who approve of Trump's misogyny. Not a majority of voters overall, but possibly a majority of Republicans.

Does he ever get to why he thinks this is illegal? That would be the only relevant issue. I realize that to conservatives, "George Soros likes it" is a meaningful point, but to anyone familiar with logic, it isn't.
