She's such a capital B-word without a doubt. The Secret Service and FBI need to watch her because she is a suicide bomber waiting to happen.

I love throwing out casual bigotry to defend my President

She's acting like a ing moron when Trump has literally said he would turn the Gaza Strip into a resort. What the  does she think electing the person who created a Muslim ban would do?

All that aside, she always has appeared like she has a screw loose just by looking at her eyes. When she has openly endorsed Hamas it's not bigotry to say that she's capable of committing terrorism. You all think Hamas is some progressive freedom group, but it's not.

Who's our Georgia red avatar who once went out with him?

Weird fact: In high school I dated the Libertarian candidate, Chase Oliver.

Pretty sure I haven’t mentioned that here.

Do we know when Inmate Trumps Bday is? Cause that might be a pretty hefty age difference (2 years) if true. Either way, they'd be two grade levels apart.

Texas Republicans are proposing a state constitutional amendment that would make statewide elections determined by which candidate wins a majority of Texas counties -

Perhaps the most consequential plank calls for a constitutional amendment to require that candidates for statewide office carry a majority of Texas’ 254 counties to win an election, a model similar to the U.S. electoral college.

Seems incredibly unconstitutional and also a very blatant VRA violation, also the Democrats can block it in both chambers (amendments require two-thirds vote in favor in Senate and House to get on the ballot).  

Still though, it shows Republicans aren't confident they'll be winning statewide much longer and the lengths they'll go to end democracy.

Texas Republicans really are something else.

Texas Dems are so lucky they have such favorable geography - even a pretty extreme GOP State House gerrymander barely pushes the median seat to the right of the state. They really, *really*, should try to invest in flipping the State House by the end of the decade. In 2024 they should target seats like HD-108 and HD-112 which Biden probably carries in 2024.

I also feel like Democrats should message on just how extreme Texas Rs are considering how relatively close the state is in partisanship these days.

How is "doge" pronounced?

Biden will also be the last president who’s birthday was closer to the civil war than to today.

Barack Obama was born just a few weeks prior to the halfway point between the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand and Election Day 2008 in the US.

"Hegemony means we do whatever we want 100% of the time no matter what our allies think" is such a childish understanding of foreign affairs.

The WTO ruling against us when we put tarrifs on China is not beneficial to our interests one bit, nor is what the ICC has tried to do either.

Well, considering tariffs are a tax on consumers, it actually is in our best interest lmao.

So should we have not had trade restrictions on the USSR during the cold war

Doubt Trump would go with Haley, even if in theory he might need some of her supporters to consolidate the PUB base, but he values loyalty and submission above all else.

Plus quite frankly they have significant differences on various stated foreign policy issues, which are unlikely to be reconciled in a way which appears coherent to American voters come November, where one might expect Biden to be hitting Trump hard on such matters.

Normally, I would agree with you.  But there is one thing Trump currently values more than loyalty - staying out of jail and protecting his fortune.  And the key for ensuring that is getting elected.  And to get elected he needs to broaden the MAGA base.

As for foreign policy differences, I am sure he would do what he pleases, and not listen to Haley, once he is elected.

In about two or three days they'll be pledging to bring back rum, sodomy and the lash to the Royal Navy.

The funniest thing for me is that this was already attempted as a transparent - if effective - gimmick in the (original) British House of Cards, only that Francis Urquhart could pretend to do it while projecting strength and a sense of purpose.
