I bet Trump’s lawyers are shitting bricks

Donald Trump and members of his family will NOT be charged.

- per CNN

Someone should replace his regular pharmaceutical cocktail with straight rat poison. He’d get a good charge out of that.

New legislation is totally based on LIES about voter fraud.


Your opinion, Larry

I stand by my post - and expect when I am correct that you will cite your rage here

Not my opinion.

It is a fact that all the new legislation is based on non existent voter fraud.

Can you prove otherwise?

I think most people who have been paying attention would say it's based strictly on POLITICS.

That’s not politics. Politics is persuasion if I remember Aristotle

Republicans are trying block access to the polls.

When a party’s electoral strategy depends on fewer people voting it means they know their policies suck.

Politics is a dirty business, it requires sharp elbows, theatrics, and lots of cash. If you're taking your cues from Aristotle, you aren't really ready for American politics, and you should probably stay out of it altogether.

I prefer taking mine from guys like this: "Politics is a rough and tumble business, and yet there seems to be an effort by the commentariat to sanitize American politics to some type of high-level Victorian debating society."

James Carville

If you have ever seen how a local school board gets elected, you'd understand the power of having an electorate that relies on small numbers of voters, and you'd still be within your rights to be offended by that circumstance---but that's a choice.

Are you for real?

More real than Aristotle.

…So thanks, Kammy, for visiting El Paso.

Wow, Red. I can see how you earned you certificate from the Nathan Bedford Forrest Institute for Spurious Nonesense.

Brava, nosebleed. Brava.

Yes but he deserves credit for writing all of that himself.  I mean it is not like he stole that screed - which among other bizarre arguments credits a program started under Clinton as a success for Trump - from a hard right organization that masks itself as a AARP rival and presented it as its own.

More real than Aristotle.

How many campaigns have you won? How many have you managed?

You’re talking loud and saying nothing.


Right now the GOP’s ‘political strategy’ is based on racial resentment and fear.

That’s like saying the rise of the National Socialists was “just good politics.”

Have a seat.

Here we see right wing cancel culture at its most aggressive. Even the suggestion that we should be aware of the effect of our language that is discussed and set down in an informational, entirely voluntary and unenforceable manner is silenced by racists like Racist. No discussion of racist, bigoted language is allowed by racists like Racist.

We talking AMAC?   Good God that explains so much of Red's output here.   A steady dripfeed from a giant IV bag of RW blather.   

As well as the amusing Trump attribution,  I also had a chuckle at the notion that drug cartels (or migration generally) were stymied by a tighter seal around the one percent of the US/Mexico border that is El Paso.  I pictured the John Cleese character,  "Ken Clean Air System, " running on his workout up to the back of a truck, then giving up and reversing course.

Sorry,  it was the back of a car,  not truck.

My Brother married Roy and Dale's Granddaughter, and he had 3 children with her, and they were on welfare.

I understand my Brother being poor, our Father died when we were little kids and we were raised by a poor single Mother, but Roy's Granddaughter should have had money and connections.

They taxed Roy at 90% and his family suffered for it.

Since then, after the passing of Roy and Dale, all of Roy's family had to leave California because it is too expensive here, and they all moved to places where it is less expensive, such as Alabama, Missouri, and Nevada.

After the family fell into poverty the Roy Rogers museum was closed, and all of the stuff from the museum was auctioned off to raise money for the Rogers family.

The Rogers children should have been wealthy, with access to the best schools and great educations, but that was not the case.

And the situation for their Great Grandkids, and Great Great Grandkids, is as if Roy and Dale never existed and never worked. They are just as poor as the poorest of the poor.

They are working at fast food restaurants that are owned by other people, etc.

I have one niece who was very smart as a child, and I wanted her to go to Harvard, but instead they ended up poor in Alabama, she ended up addicted to drugs, her husband committed suicide, and now she is going to jail, it is all bullshit, I did not want her to experience that life, I wanted her to go to Harvard. She is Roy Rogers' Great Granddaughter, she should have went to Harvard.

So, they taxed Roy at 90% and his family suffered.

But, they are still trying to succeed, and a new play is in the works. The Roy Rogers and Dale Evans play that has been in the works is coming to Atlanta. Then hopefully the play goes to Broadway in New York, which is where I want to see the play. Then, hopefully they make a film. Then, if the film about Roy and Dale is a success, hopefully some of the money goes to Roy and Dale's family. I think Dusty Rogers is involved with it all, and hopefully he profits from it and helps the others.

Salute,

Tony V.

Taxing someone at 90% is ridiculous...not to mention incentive-killing.

[Yankguy1]

I think the incentive was to earn enough money so that some of those earnings would be taxed at 90%.

[josh]

It didn't seem to kill the incentives of those who were paying it.
