There's always been rotten people, the Framers just never anticipated so many getting into American government.

"Win" is what I tell Americans to say because they don't know how to make the "ng" sound. But the fact that you know to say "win" when you see "nguyen" already puts you above majority of other Americans I met. My buddy just tells everyone to say "Nwen". "Dung" is the Vietnamese name people seem to really have trouble with. --- Putin delenda est |

brestugo 02/08/24 1:56:51 PM #5 | No. A greeting, maybe a comment about weather should suffice.
Some people have a hard time driving if someone's talking to them. They probably shouldn't be driving for a living, but it's their job and they should be allowed to perform it without distraction if talking is a problem for them. That said, my rideshare struck up a nice conversation about local pizza the other day and we talked the whole ride. --- Putin delenda est |

I take it we're expecting the SCOTUS to rule in his favour? That wouldn't be surprising but, conservatives on the SCOTUS may be done with Trump, judicially at least. We'll see. They're lifers who worry about legacies and Trump is bringing them a lot of negative attention. Not that they don't deserve it. Maybe we'll get a Pontius Pilate moment, but I'm not holding my breath. I heard one legal scholar say the SCOTUS would likely try to find some way to throw it to Congress somehow, which short term benefits Trump because it would allow him to stay on the ballot this year. --- Putin delenda est |

brestugo 02/08/24 6:20:08 AM #9 | Somewhat bad reporting.
If the writer was going to bring up Trump's classified document case, the important distinction is that one is in office and the other is not. It's that one was transparent, handed over the docs when they were discovered and cooperated with the subsequent ivestigation and the other stonewalled ~9 months, refused to hand over documents, made efforts to hide them, shared then with uncovered persons, and obstructed attempts to recover the documents. That's more wordy than what the the author wrote, but last I checked people like that get paid by the word. --- Putin delenda est |

The next GOP Senate leader after McConnell will be a "watch the world burn" maniac. It's all the GOP has left these days, especially in the younger (and thereby more rabid) GOP members of Congress. We may find out sooner rather than later. His term as Minority Leader ends in January. He's got 2 more years on his seat after that, but it's clear he's not favored by the MAGA crowd.

That's actually a good thing for the country, since the GOP sucks ass but it's stupid for Cruz to argue for. McConnell knows what he's doing, unfortunately.
