It doesn't matter who the GOP candidate or the dem candidate is. Dems are going to vote for their candidate. Goppers will likely stay home if Trump is convicted or doesn't run.

[Morch]

If Trump is barred from running, what then? Who's the likeliest Republican candidate? And how does he/she stack vs. Biden? Also, assuming Trump is barred from running - might be an easy face saving way for Biden to withdraw (not saying it would happen) and then same question - who's the likeliest Dem candidate, and how does he/she stack vs. whomever the Republicans might field?

Don’t forget the bit where a President was rushed to the Walter Reid Memorial hospital in the middle of the night to be administered the Montreal Cognitive Assessment Test.

 

 

Yes. He got the questions all correct (except one). Not so hard to do when you get the questions before taking trhe test. The only question he failed was "Who's the current president?". Please note the test was taken when Trump was president.

So neither party gets a benefit. so what.

 

Your direction is obvious.

Putin try’s to exterminate Ukraine……whereas under Biden for less than 6% of our defense budget Putin is stopped and exposed for what he is

 

So tell us all, even for only 6% of the defence budget, what business has the US in Ukraine?

 

No wait, no need, we all know that already from the info many years ago

but then again Joe is kicking rear end he’s one magnificent old duffer in my humble opinion if the choice is Biden or trump obviously Biden is the superior one 

 

See you in November. Neither you or me will decide on that, but the US population will. And I have always been told, what the majority decides will be the right decision

Q:  why is this man smiling?

 

A: because this pic was taken before Ms Habba's statement.  He may now have to recuse because of what she said.  And then there was seven.

Those hearings of the three Heritage Foundation appointees was farcical.  Gorsuch gave stupid answers and maintained that smirk the whole time, as if to say "I'm lying, and you know it, and you can't do a thing about it."

Brett cried.  Lindsey Graham rescued him. 

Amy was practically a re-run of the first two, second-hand questions and the predictable second-answers.  "I don't do hypotheticals." 

 

 

Check out the look on DT's face, it says "this jerk owes me big time!"

Trump has never won the majority in a presidential election.

It's real simple. If Ukraine loses, then Putin moves to attack Latvia and Poland. If Trump is in power then, the US won't respond. And it will go downhill from there.

 

That's why Russia invests so heavily in talking points to be sent to Trump followers.

If that were the case Trump would never have been President.

 

Ill informed comments from Trump supporters are not uncommon, they might even be the majority.

A bit of a challenge for the Originalists on the bench of the SCOTUS, do they stick to their long held black and white view of how the Constitution should be interpreted or do they bow to the wishes of those who they owe their seats to?

 

Justice Gorsuch in particular is going to have a hard time squaring that particular circle.

 

 

Like Groucho Marx said, “Those are my principles, and if you don't like them…well, I have others.”

Is that based on polls? Does it refer to any specific opponents? Is it your opinion?

[bendejo]

I'm haunted by the realization that I didn't like any of those Dems on the debate stage in the 2019/2020 primaries. 

I refuse to think about succession if Joe dies in office. 

 

I did like Liz Warren chasing Bloomberg off the stage, I thought she was going to drag by his ear, like a school librarian.

"You are so outta here, mister!"

I think that political slim pickings are an international thing.

Hearing the same from people all over, Thailand for example.

 

Trouble is that such a state of affairs can also promote 'wrong' candidates.

The SCOTUS decision should have the left wing loonies (including anyone else reading this) jumping up and down and cheering the fact that the SCOTUS is going to hear the Colorado 14th Amendment case? Do they not have confidence that deep state unelected state officials can just make a decision on their own to strike candidates from the ballot based on some YouTube videos and J6 committee propaganda? If the dems are correct, then this decision by the Court to take up the case should come as GREAT NEWS and cause for celebration in the name of democracy! How about those reading this, you in favor of the SCOTUS to hear the CO case in furtherance of democracy and the right to vote for the candidate of your choosing or would you prefer banana republic democrat states continue to interfere in elections and take away your voting rights and the erosion to democracy?

If the latter, than you think their position will be validated and Trump will be removed for the ballots of any states where Democrat officials have the power under state law to do so. You should all be so lucky all the being willing advocates for the wreckers of democracy

 

This is getting too easy for Trump now: Biden’s destroying himself,  his action are the real threat to democracy in America, and Biden’s doing his level best to display it for all to see now. A Rasmussen poll (Jan-03/24) again finds economy as the number one concern of likely voters NOT Biden’s fake hoax claims of "democracy under threat" gaslighting. Why is America’s most corrupt, disliked and failed POTUS not addressing voter concerns instead of making up pathetic lies to American’s about his political rival and superior in Trump? Voters can see the weak and feckless Biden charade is failing as the pack of lies and failed policies it is and probably going to the next level as it implodes during Biden’s looming impeachment inquiry. Biden's done, deader than a door nail, he'll be tossed out soon in humiliating fashion.

So maybe SCOTUS will also give the brain dead  what they want:  Absolute immunity for all POTUS crimes committed while in office...

 

uh duh they sorta forgot that Biden is president and would have absolute immunity so he could then order trump seized and imprisoned and commit any other crime that old joe could think of...hell maybe he will just call off the election and like trump wants become a dictator?

The Supreme Court will rightly restore Trump to the ballot. And then he will lose to Biden.

That's right, and that are also my thoughts when a president that falls on a stage, loses direction to his official residence, falls off the stairs to Air Force One and confuses his sister with his wife, is declared fit by a doctor

The SCOTUS will make its decision, and unlike the right-wing, liberals will not whine endlessly about a Justice decision.

Actually, I guess that a significant number won't be unhappy to have Trump on the ballot, as he's likely easier to beat than others, such as Haley.

The adviser to the VP on Trump pressuring him has a clear take on the ultimate ruling.

Simple? Yes, from your perspective.

 

If Ukraine loses and Putin attacks Latvia and Poland, then the US/NATO will have to respond. Everything may well go downhill from there but there would be no other real choice. If Putin starts biting into NATO, then does anyone really think that he would stop with just those two?
