Not rhetoric. Simple description of the implosion that is happening in the Democratic Party. Trying to force Biden out in a "death by 1000 cuts" scenario.

Yeah, nothing says "diverse population" like: large immigrant population primarily comprising British Asians of Pakistani origin

Thinking fascism- what would you call a political party that is scheming behind the back of their elected leader? Leaking rumours and poison to the media? Choosing to subvert the collective will of the people who voted overwhelmingly for Joe in the primaries? Dare we call it an 'insurrection' in the ranks of the Democratic party?

I don't think they are all that interested in politics. They would rather work for a living. However, his grand-daughter's speech was super charming. She was very poised and mature for a 17 year old child.

Good lord, I agree with Tug! I am praying for the President to recover fully and resume his campaign. I wouldn't wish covid on anyone, it is nasty. Especially someone who is elderly, it can be fatal.

I agree. It would at least be interesting and competitive. They are both sharp guys, and good as speaking extemporaneously. Far more interesting than watching Vance stomp all over Kamala Harris, that's for sure.

Well, Trump is the president who finally moved the American embassy in Israel to Jerusalem, after so many broken promises by previous administrations. We may also see an expansion of the Abraham Accords to countries like Saudi Arabia. I can't see any downside.

This is the hypocrisy. The left are comfortable in spewing hateful rhetoric, but when it comes right down to it, they really dont beileve it. Otherwise they would be cheering.

Kinda strange, isnt it? Praying for Hitler2.0s recovery.... what could it mean?

The Master of the Slander strikes again. Seems impossible to talk about someone you dont agree with unless you can add a cute slanderous prefix.

Kai Trump was a cutie, and gave a very 'from the heart' speech. Nice to hear about Trump the grandpa.

I see them here, fair enough. But not in the American media. It is all fear and fascism and here comes the next Hitler. I guess the Democrats are not confident enough in their candidate or their positive vision for the future.

Have a lie down. Get a cold towel for your forehead. It will be OK. Last election is over. Power was transferred. Project 2025 is yet another fantasy on par with "Russia Russia Russia". The Court ruling on immunity was reasonable and well thought out, split the situation nicely. Or you can continue screaming your faux talking points and watch your blood pressure rise.

I think if Biden quits, Harris is President and finishes his term. End of story. As for who is the nominee in the November election? That gets complicated. I think if Biden quits, his delegates are all released from whatever pathetic excuse of a primary the Democrats ran. That would make their convention...interesting.

You may be right about the last point... As for the rest, the Supremes are not as compliant as you may think. Roberts is no MAGA guy, neither is Thomas. They are genuine constitutionalists.

No, they are not. You are living in a fever dream of paranoid leftist fantasy if you believe that. What mechanism could possibly make that happen? The checks and balances, plus the natural freedom that courses through the veins of every American, make that completely impossible. Besides, it didn't happen the first time round with Trump. How could it happen now? Please relax and take a deep breath. If nothing else, Trump will die before any of that can happen. He's already pushing 80 and a fat bastard. If he survives his second term it will be a surprise.

The GOP is evolving and growing. They are becoming the true Big Tent party. From Teamsters to TikTok. I am very curious about the DNC convention, how they can top this.

Barak was a state senator in a very blue state, then Senator. Not much of a challenge. Vance defeated an incumbent Democrat in a difficult year for the GOP. I honestly wonder whether Democrats like Shapiro (or Kelly, or Wes Moore) will want to get involved in the race this year. Not saying they are terrible candidates, they are all reasonable IMHO. But....If they do accept the job as VP to Harris, they are potentially putting their own run off until 2032. Assume Harris wins, she is President til 2028, then runs again. They wouldn't challenge her for top job in 2028, so it would be until 2032 at least. If Harris loses, which is very possible, they are tied to a losing campaign. However, if they stay to the sidelines, they can save their political capital and make a full effort in 2028.

Nice try. The fear is palpable. Compare him to the opposing VP pick and it is clear who is qualified to lead. The man who grew up in rural America and had to fight to make something of himself is the obvious choice. Hell, the US elected a PRESIDENT with less than a full term in the Senate, and not much else. It is painfully obvious that the Democrats have zero confidence in Kamala, otherwise Joe would have been gone and she would have been elevated long ago.

Ah yes, anything to deflect from the issues that Americans actually care about. You could make it a quiz question; Name issues that most Americans don't give a rat's a55 about; a/ Project 2025 b/ Presidential immunity c/ the makeup of the Supreme Court The correct answer is "d", all of the above. If Biden were such a successful president, the Democrats would be busy running on his record of success. Yet they don't. All they can do is fall back on the old playbook of fearmongering and hate.

So... your source kind of agrees with me. Whether he supports a 'federal' 15 week limit or not, depends on who you talk to. But he also supports the states to do their own thing. Personally, I think a federal law is not workable. But to most Americans, this is not the most important issue anyway. People are more worried about inflation, the economy, border security, and crime. Abortion is way down the list, in spite of attempts by the Democrats to pump it up.

In Japan they are called "towelkets". Basically, a towel that is the size of a bedsheet or blanket that is used in place of traditional sheets or blankets. Single size are 150cm x 200cm. They are very comfy in the heat of summer, absorb body heat and do not stay damp. Some of the better ones have a lining of heat and moisture wicking material. We are bringing a set over to use this summer. They cost about 10,000 yen each in Japan (something like 2200 thb) for single size. My wife also uses towels as pillow covers because they are easy to clean, cool, and are very soft.

Maybe Joe should start going after all those trillionaires, they are the real greedy ones!

Well, Elon Musk paid $11 billion in federal taxes last year, so there is a small flaw in your assertion. Not to mention that you could seize ALL the assets of every billionaire in the USA, leave them all penniless and homeless, and the money still wouldn't be enough to run the federal government for one year. One year. So the problem obviously isn't revenue, it is spending. You are merely arguing from a position of jealousy, as so many lefties do.

All of what you say is true about my cousins to the south. And those are the reasons that Republicans do love their country. They value the potential and the freedom and the majesty. But at the same time they do see it being despoiled by the whinging bratlings of the left who feel entitled to take the gains and property of those who are smarter, faster, and harder working. It will be interesting to hear and watch the Democratic convention next month.
