There's a long wait between Nov. 3 and Jan. 1 when the present Congress still has the power no matter what the election results are!

Weren't we (colonials) better off 250 years ago under British rule than we are now under "king" Trump?

How can SCOTUS declare the president can't commit crimes while in office when the Constitution presents the remedy for exactly that situation in its main body - IMPEACHMENT and removal. No need for that if the Constitution "implied" a president cannot commit crimes in the execution of his duties.

ICE agents wearing the logo "POLICE" or identifying themselves in any other way as "police" are illegally impersonating police officials. They are not "police officers". They are government agents or federal law enforcement. Police departments are responsible to the residents of a city or town.

To Greenland/Denmark: Don't sign any agreement unless it's understood that the US provides security by invitation ONLY. None of this "Trump declares a state of emergency and takes over Greenland's government." By invitation ONLY!

Lifetime appointments should require the same ratio of affirmation as would be required for their removal. 2/3 affirmation for 2/3 impeachment/removal.

Taxing wealth is a "property tax". Buy low, sell high creates profit. Tax all "realized profits" - even if reinvested. Who gets to invest income and declare that income "tax exempt"? As far as I know however, reinvested profits aren't presently counted as taxable income??

There's a "Texas PAC" running campaign ads against Dems that state at the bottom: Not endorsed by any candidate or political committee. No more "I'm (candidate) and I endorse this message." Who are these people and where does their money come from?

Playing Devil's Advocate to McConnell's condition: Many older people kept in the hospital for a fall develop Pneumonia. It's hard to cure at that age. People often continue with "walking pneumonia" afterwards. It's not acceptable that we don't know this before 90 days. IF that's the case!

It seems to me that the real Mafia style criminals often showed more honor than the Trump Cartel. Soldier against soldier instead of soldier against civilian. Just seems like it.

It wasn't a failure to choose Trump for President, it was a failure to make a choice at all! Less than 50% of the votes cast elected him.

I finally sat down and wrote an email to the Talarico campaign. Doing nothing felt untenable. I encourage other decent Texans to communicate their disappointment. If this can help you get started, feel free to use anything that works for you

Disappointment

I hope I am just one of many communications you receive expressing extreme disappointment with the campaign's position regarding transgender children.

Just as it is unacceptable for the government to insert itself between women and their doctors, it is equally unacceptable for the government to insert itself between children and their doctors and parents. Supporting a bill to ban gender related surgery in children ignores the fact that this is not government's place.And coming out for exceptions to transgender children participating in sports is equally unforgivable. There are no safety issues with transgender children playing that aren't also there with cisgender children. Same with fairness issues. Accepting the premise that transgender children aren't just regular children is ceding ground to the fascists who wish to remove all trans 0 people from daily life. I am so deeply disappointed in Mr Talarico and the entire campaign for allowing this framing to stand unchallenged and for the stand he has taken against the transgender community.

You may still get my vote in November, but you will not get my labor in the very hard ground game that needs to be fought. I simply can't fight for a candidate that won't fight for all of us.

Sincerely,

Lisa Seger Waller, TX

Caution: In TX, you can vote "party" at the top and all the races record that party's candidates as "yes". Vote "1" and run was the saying ("1" being Republican). If you vote Dem, check off each candidate so there's no question of "missing" votes. Stand tall for your choices.

In Aug. 2001, intelligence warned of "increased chatter" which always preceded major terrorist activity (strikes). Bush's Attorney General stopped traveling on commercial airlines. September 11, 2001, happened next. This was reported before September.

On 9/11, we knew Al Qaida and bin Laden were behind it. Despite knowing he was then in Afghanistan, we later declared war on Iraq on trumped up charges (yellow cake) to get their oil and lost everything in the ensuing fighting. Obama eventually got bin Laden in Afghanistan.

Imagine a Dem president authorizing masked and armed FBI agents to hunt down and round up all GOP federal government officials and put them on a deportation list while they wait in concentration camps. Remember, the president has SCOTUS immunity!

First, remove the generals with the war-fighting expertise. Then start a war based on the strategy of "shock and awe" expecting the opponent to crumble and surrender immediately. If that strategy fails, you're on your own. All you have left is sycophant generals who weren't smart enough to be fired.

The Supreme Court still required 60 votes for justice confirmation until Mitch McConnell changed that rule in 2017. That's the disease in the justice system. We have an appointment system that accepts "just about good enough". "Just about good enough Hegseth needed a tie breaker (Vance) to win.

The sailor who jumped overboard could have been charged with "desertion", punishable by death. Instead, it is "malingering". A "PTSD" defense is very strong here.

Military regulations are specific and violation is subject to punishment. They are focusing on "malingering" (attempting to avoid duty) by jumping overboard. Gen. Patton slapped a soldier and called him a coward for what is now called PTSD. Gen. Eisenhower had him publicly apologize to his command.

If a president can determine the DOJ leadership which can be changed when deemed necessary, then the presidential appointments to SCOTUS should be "at the pleasure" of the president and replaced when deemed necessary. No more lifetime appointments.
