A statement that is ignorant, derogatory, and politically stupid . . . all at the same time!

I feel like he has engaged before, but maybe I am getting my Russians mixed up

Like the super peppy propagandist Hope? It engages, if you can call non sequitur responses “engagement”.

urging its lawmakers to fulfill their accountability

Kishida urges. Accountability fulfilled.

the party can call on its members to leave the LDP, if an accountant of their political group is arrested or prosecuted

And if the LDP members don't leave, the party will have no choice but to ask them again nicely.

What a joke. Toss these tossers out.

His daughter Ivanka and son-in-law Jared Kushner served as senior advisors during his presidency.

And profited bigly.

Powerful speech. Put the GQP on the back foot.

Loved these lines:

"A future based on the core values that have defined America. 

Honesty. Decency. Dignity. Equality. 

To respect everyone. To give everyone a fair shot. To give hate no safe harbor.  

Now some other people my age see a different story.  

An American story of resentment, revenge, and retribution."

Representative Troy Nehls, a Republican, wore a shirt with Trump's face and the words "Never surrender" on it.

Classy. Remember, this is the clever guy who admitted that killing the immigration bill was purely to help Donald Trump.

Just telling the truth

NYC is not “third world”. Otherwise Trump wouldn’t make such a big deal out of his NYC properties. Or is he just an incompetent investor?

Yeah cause people totally join the military to check violent and mentally deranged people’s bags before they ride the subway

No, people join the National Guard to dispel peaceful protests and help a Bible-holding POTUS stage a photo op in a public park.

a third world disgrace

Come on, man. Cut the hyperbole.

The story of Trump’s life. He thinks he’s above laws or norms or basic human decency. But he expects everyone else to kiss his rear.

Posted in: U.S. Supreme Court rules Trump can stay on Colorado primary ballot See in context

It’s a fair ruling in a weak case. I didn’t agree with plaintiffs and this ruling doesn’t surprise me at all.

Trump will not be so fortunate in his case pleading absolute presidential immunity. It’s a preposterous claim that’s already been obliterated in court. The ruling will come too late and will delay the Chutkin trial (foot dragging by the SCOTUS conservatives no doubt), but Trump will lose by at least 7-2. Thomas and Alito very well might do their masters’ bidding.

Point taken. Steve Forbes--heir to a publishing empire, born with a silver spoon in his mouth, worth $430 million--doesn't like welfare programs for poor people. I'm sure he's not a fan of ranked choice voting either.

--RCV has worked everywhere it has been tried. Just requires education and not being lazy.

Doubt it

You don't like it because it actually works. It would prevent a radical fringe minority faction (MAGA) from having disproportionate political power.

The swamp hate RCV too. You swamp, the corporate and billionaire interests holding the country back.

FYI though, Republicans have fared as well as Democrats with RCV. Just not the far right lunatics.

Biden in his physical state, forget his dissipating cognitive abilities, I’m concerned that he might not make to November with the way he’s moving or lack of movement.

Because all you're watching are clips chosen and edited by rightwing "news" (i.e. entertainment) outlets. As a journalist, you should know that to get the full picture on an issue you need to look at the raw footage.

Ok, forget the polls, when you watch street interviews a big port of people being interviewed about Biden are just disastrous.

You can find any kind of street interviews on YouTube. So what?

support Law and Order and want to fully fund our police and to give them immunity.

Nobody should have "immunity". Bad cops who break the law shouldn't be immune from prosecution. Neither should presidents.

That's called respecting "law and order".

Polls, schmolls. Who knows what's going to happen. Just get out there and vote NO to Donald Trump and fascism.

This will become clearer to voters once they realize the agenda already being planned by those who know Trump is their useful idiot.

Posted in: Nikki Haley can't win the Republican primary with 40%, but she can expose some of Trump's weaknesses See in context

weakness? There is none.

"We have languages coming into our country -- we don't have one instructor in our entire nation that can speak that language. These are languages, it's the craziest thing, they have languages that nobody in this country has ever heard of."

--Trump at CPAC

"My mug shot, we've all seen the mug shot. And you know who embraced it more than anybody else: the Black population. It's incredible."

--Poor Me Trump at CPAC

“They’re notifying people in Beverly Hills, you can only use 40 gallons of water. They don’t have water. . . And it’s true: in Beverly Hills, you pay a fortune in taxes, they say you can only brush your teeth once a day.”

--Social Justice Warrior Trump at CPAC

"They'll say he rambled, he's cognitively impaired. No, it's really the opposite. It's total genius."

--Buff Stable Genius Trump playing 4D chess at CPAC

Good luck in November!

--In 2017, Free Speech For People began a partnership with left-of-center organizing group RootsAction ahead of Trump’s inauguration. The moment Trump took the oath of office, the two organizations launched the website ImpeachDonaldTrumpNow.org, a grassroots initiative to gain support for the impeachment of President Trump.

This is who "they" are.

Doesn't answer my question. Strike one.

Who is funding these groups?

--I tried to find which "leftists" are funding this group whose main goal is to fight big money and corruption in politics. But I haven't been able to locate these shadow "leftist" billionaires.

--Perhaps you can enlighten us

Soros is the largest and most prolific, that’s the main…..anyway…

A stab in the dark with no evidence. In other words, you don't know. Strike two.

Anyone else (Blacklabel?) care to have a swing at which "leftist" billionaires are funding this group?

I make no distinction between the left or right when it comes to professional career political swamp hacks.

I don't believe you for one second. He worked behind the scenes, wined and dined bigshots, and got you a whole bunch of far right judges playing footsie with Christian fascism. The right has made no secret of its own swamp. It's in plain view.

--your judges, apparently including the Supreme Court, receive their marching orders from Leonard Leo, so let’s just disperse with any notion that the sponsors of the lawsuit or even the legal argument makes any difference.

Uhh….

--In 2016, Trump received the support of 8% of Black voters, according to exit polls. That support increased to 12% in 2020. 

even 12% is a number that the Dems worry about

12% is not even close to half, which is what you originally insinuated. Changing the goal posts again.
