it is getting pretty wacky. have not heard all the details yet , but somehow the idea that a likely isolated young man with access to guns would attempt to go travis bickle on the president is too simple for some of us. simple answer usually correct.

hypothetical: ongoing u.s. hormuz blockade squeezes iran financially, subsequently squeezes china access to low cost oil. china gets tired of no oil and phones tehran enough is enough agree to open strait no tollbooth and some other set of reasonable asks. trump gets his win and november boost.

hit em where it hurts. hate to see all the destruction, but then think about all the young men they send in to become casualties, and the people of ukraine on the other side of it.

All that gold leaf, not a year old, is more like old paint flaking off the walls of this administration.

executive order on federal elections and mail in ballots is some boooolshit. courts and congress, somebody has to step up.

yep, we are witnessing a re world ordering as a result of u.s. unilateral actions in iran. asian countries allied with the u.s. after ww2 and the cold war now reconsider that alliance as fuel shortages have big impacts on daily life. closer relations with china will likely be the trend.

dems should offer up a reasonable voter i.d. law, one that is not intended to disenfranchise. presented with a viable alternative republicans might not know what to say.

this messing around with the vote right before an election is not good.

methinks chat gpt wrote that last part of sotu, no way a staff writer in this white house is that poetic.

mmmm, gonna disagree. sotu remains important messaging platform.

sotu address ends with the common sea to shining sea motif, with the exception of the democratic west coast. opting instead to draw the western boundary in the south at the hill country of texas, and in the north at the rolling hills of the dakotas, majority republican voting states.

dems gotta stop talking this abolish crap. it's damaging. how we message is important if we want to preach to anyone else but the choir. abolish does not play with center right voters, reform does.

you do realize state rep talarico goes to great lengths emphasizing the importance of the separation of church and state? listen to any of his interviews on the subject. i don't think there are many elected officials who undertand the issue more.

ukranian luge competitor wears a helmet w/memorial images of people killed in war w/russia. russia allowed to compete only w/limited number athletes under neutral flag. yet ukranian competitor disqualified for display of "political statement", a reference to white elephant in europe's parlor.

hypothetical: executive branch going around asking states for voter rolls, some of which have already complied. they hold this info until shortly before november elections and then do a last minute purge of some % elegible voters. thus, not enough time to update registration, and thus no vote?
