Trump mixes up Nikki with Nancy, Russia with democracies, crimes with legal actions.

There is plenty of evidence to support all of that. Even his wife, Mercedes, agrees with you

Heh!

Trump as autocrat - the odds may be against him...

I am less worried about trump than the next guy who steps into his diaper which is the best way to describe the violently corrupt authoritarian remains of the republican party. They are geared up to steal all or die trying and to kill a bunch of good people arrayed against them along the way.

Creepy republicans will get extra desperate and evil this cycle. Their candidates and backers will pull out all stops to bring out the worst in their supporters. They will hope far too long that this will give them a chance.

I think Digby, in your next post, nailed it.  There's a schism among GOP leaning voters and it's widening.  Moderates and Indies have been having the old Maya Angelou epiphany and are believing Trump when he shows them who he is.  That forty percent might be gone for good from the MAGA brigade.

The Associated Press is under fire for highlighting the dangers for female joggers while covering the murder of a Georgia college student-
without mentioning her alleged killer is an undocumented immigrant already known to cops.




Joe Biden is now a figurative dead man walking away from another term.

The alliance of the leftist media in defense of his open border philosophy comes to the breaking point when college kids get murdered being college kids by illegal aliens who could care less about our country.

Maybe it is time for the dems to fish or cut bait.
Dump Biden NOW!
Go with Kamala.
After all we survived Harry Truman and with a divided Congress and a solid SCOTUS we can survive her.

A lame duck Biden or Trump,I  am not so sure.

America is leaderless. The two party system has led to this really sorry state.

Migrant crimes bring Venezuelans to their own 'Mariel moment'

Petrash points as reference to the Mariel boatlift, when tens of thousands of poorer Cubans arrived in Miami in 1980

It sucks that every generation we need to start off poor just like our families did not build up this nation, we have to start off poor and we have to pay taxes. We are being punished for being born in America. Granted, Battle Mountain is better than Hong Kong, we are blessed to live in America as opposed to Hong Kong, but we need to give Equity to our American people.

The way that we can give Equity to all Americans is by giving every American a free Education. An Education is the great equalizer.

If your family helped to build America for 300 years, then you at least deserve a free Education. You do not need to work in the coal mines anymore, you can be a doctor, or a scientist, or a teacher, or a psychiatrist, etc.

And we need to put a fresh coat of paint on our ghettos, and we need libraries and coffee shops in the ghettos.

If your family helped to build America for 200 years then you should not be living in a tent on the sidewalk like you just got here from Timbuktu.

Salute,

New York City's Albert Einstein College of Medicine is set to go tuition-free after receiving a $1 billion donation from former professor Ruth Gottesman.

We can send the people of Kentucky to Medical School for free in New York.

Step up then. I am sure you gather a big following seeing as you are so persuasive here.

I  am not so sure.

Good to see you fill your diaper in such an uncontrolled fashion. It shows that you feel things are slipping away from you. That is always good news

The sign of Civilization is when you find skeletons with broken bones that healed, that shows that someone took care of that person while their broken bone healed.

We cannot be expected as a Civilized society to allow our friends and neighbors and fellow Americans to be left on the streets homeless. We cannot be expected to turn a blind eye to our 70,000 homeless people on the streets of Los Angeles. We cannot be expected to just worry about ourselves and forget about the 70,000 homeless people on the street.

My wealthiest friends spent their lives helping the homeless people. That is what Civilization is about, it is about helping each other while our broken bones heal. And we need to lift each other up, we need to lift up the coal miners and send them to school. Etc.

Salute,

Tony V.

Both candidates seem dazed and confused. Duh! Two party system down to the the last two who can do gifts.

Joe Biden is 81 years old. Donald Trump is a 77 year old demented sociopath

I will vote for the old guy because at this point in 2000 I said if the decision came down to Trump or a hanging fern I would vote for the plant.

Most houseplants are not severely compromised by our foreign adversaries. That is why any pot full of flora is more qualified to lead us than a republican would be.

Abraham Maslow believed that curiosity and the need to explore is part of being human, so people have an innate desire to learn. And if we can instill in people the need to help other people, and to make the world a better place, like the Bible asks us to do in Matthew 25: 31-46, then as people become doctors, etc, and teachers, etc, and scientists, etc, and wealthy Business people, etc, then they will help other people.

Salute,

Tony V.
