Let's hope Neil, one of my favorites, means it.



I think Neil is still really pissed about Trump using "Rockin' in the Free World", and never stopping to do so, despite Neil's protesting.

Neil has left Bernie and embraced Joe.

And similarly, we've been considering his resistance to being replaced when he loses for years.

Again, to remind you (and bankshot1) the context of the discussion is Republican resistance.  Yeah, of course we have known about Trump's authoritarian tendencies for years.  But there was a time when those concerns could be dismissed as the fever dreams of the Left.  We knew what kind of person Trump was, but someone in denial could look away.

There is no possible way to do that now. 



45% job approval.

Plenty of ways to deny it and even a few ways to approve of it.

What do you call the guy who gets 45% in a two person race?

Loser.


The Electoral College is giggling now.

Here is something to quell such enthusiasm: https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2020/04/could-legislatures-hijack-the-2020-presidential-election.html

Hope this doesn't happen, but as Justice Stevens pointed out in 2000: "Although we may never know with complete certainty the identity of the winner of this year's Presidential election, the identity of the loser is perfectly clear. It is the Nation's confidence in the judge as an impartial guardian of the rule of law."

Any kind of taking away of the electors and/or manipulation of their votes in the 2020 POTUS election by whatever means will lead us into much more than just rioting and looting. There will be a Civil War 2.0.

Come on. man.  It's gonna be a blowout, right?  Right?

I'm always amused how the GOPers profess love for the Constitution yet disdain for the Federal Gov't it set up.  Dems never call them on that.  If you're against the federal gov't, you're against the Constitution and you're against your country, the United States of America.  That's it.

Congratulations. In one simple paragraph you succeeded in admitting you know nothing about our federal government nor the people who consent to be governed by it.

Congratulations, you got nothing.
Your entire argument is that you disagree.
Try again when you have one iota of substance.
Or don't.  You're useless and endless.


Plenty of GOPers go around saying the gov't is part of the problem, there was a decades-long quest to drown it in the bathtub.


Another awfulness is Trump saying the media is the enemy of the people.
Which is antithetical to democracy and the USofA.
Borderline treasonous.

Red and the unlovely penned pig in our servants’ quarters share a common misconception that lifetime tax cheats like themselves can be considered American and enjoy the protection of our laws. This is clearly a mistake on their part. It’s why so much of what they think of as theirs is about to be taken away from them and why I’ll be laughing so hard when it goes down.

Trump orders withdrawal of federal troops from my city.


Bowser not only stood up to the bully, she dunked on him and put his ass on a poster.


nice


(actually they teamed up well)

You’re as delusional as Larry Brown when he said Trevor Ariza was delusional.

Trump doesn’t do teams.

She kicked his ass on worldwide television.

Trump is up 6 points with white voters 49% - 43%.


That ain’t good news for the Red team.
