You judged whether or not Trump was being shown respect without including the audio of the reporter who asked the question. So based on his reaction, you believed that he wasn't being show respect? Clearly, he was being challenged on his election fraud claim and didn't like it.

You're not supposed to even hint at agreeing with me. That's not playing fair!!

Karma is now a legal doctrine of the Trump administration. Don't tell the Christian right.

Deflecting much?

Why would a prosecutor want to offer Brady material to Comey's grand jury? How does evidence that a prosecutor offers to a grand jury even qualify as Brady material?

"Mike Davis, former chief counsel for Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Trump ally..." That says it all.

I think that there's a strong argument to be made for that.

There's a reason that Congress passed the posse comitatus law. The same reason that the founding fathers were very skeptical of the military. They didn't want a militarized state. As for Trump's claim, why should anyone believe the little boy who cried wolf. And George Soros has been an obsession of the loony right since forever. How many crimes has he been prosecuted for, much less convicted of?

That was a case of crowd control. And you've got your history wrong. Actually, Dwight D. Eisenhower deployed troops to protect black students after the Brown vs. the Board of Education decision.

That's like blaming a thermometer for the weather. When the market seriously tanks, that's because it's reacting to some seriously bad news in the economy. It's not a cause of it.

Since when are soldiers law enforcement agents? You think because they carry guns and are trained to inflict violence that qualifies them? You have a very low opinion of law enforcement.

If it takes so much work to find a prosecutor to your liking, that argues against that prosecutor being a reasonable choice. More like an outlier.

Remember this gambit from Sinclair? Jimmy Kimmel Asked to Apologize and Pay Charlie Kirk's Family if He Wants Suspension Lifted by Nation's Largest ABC Affiliate The media company Sinclair wants Kimmel to apologize to Kirk's family and make a "meaningful personal donation" to them and Kirk's nonprofit Turning Point USA https://people.com/jimmy-kimmel-asked-to-apologize-pay-charlie-kirk-family-lift-suspension-11812850 Overreaching much?

They got an indictment on 2 out of 3 charges. And in those 2 cases they only got 14 out of 23 grand jurors to go along. This despite the fact that there is no judge or defense lawyer to interfere with the case that the US attorney made.

Brady material only applies to criminal trials and appeals. What does Brady material have to do with grand jury proceedings? I

Absences usually aren't taken notice of. But what I notice here is that there are no progressives claiming that this is some kind of false flag conspiracy. It's very rare that progressives here do that. There was one who intimated that the Kirk assassination was actually a right wing plot. He got no traction with that claim. I, for one, shot him down. Whereas there are several right wingers who still defend and trust in Alex Jones.

The OIG concluded in its investigation of the Justice Dept that there was no plot to incriminate Trump. Typically, Federal prosecutors don't like to bring cases except where the evidence is overwhelmingly strong. That wasn't even close to being the case with Comey.

No, they don't all take an oath to the President. Maybe you're confusing America with the Roman Empire? Here's what they do swear: “I, ___, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.”” https://federalnewsnetwork.com/commentary/2019/10/the-oath-of-office-and-what-it-means/

No. Their job is to uphold the rule of law. They are not Trump's private police force.

The blackout of “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” is over. Sinclair and Nexstar, the two major station groups that preempted the talk show earlier this month, are allowing the show to return to their ABC-affiliated stations on Friday evening. This means that Kimmel will be seen again in major cities like Washington, DC, Nashville, and Seattle, as well as several dozen other markets. https://edition.cnn.com/2025/09/26/media/sinclair-kimmel-blackout-abc-disney-nexstar Now Nexstar has conceded also.

An unsubstantiated gripe.

The stock market has very little relevance to most Americans finances. The wealthiest 10% of Americans own 93% of stocks even with market participation at a record high https://finance.yahoo.com/news/wealthiest-10-americans-own-93-033623827.html

This has what to do with the topic here?

Maybe employment levels aren't of concern to you?

So you posted a link to what you call a "completely bogus" article to support your claims? weird As for your predictions about the midterms. Electoral success is strongly tied to economic success. So far, Trump doesn't seem to have had much of that.
