Full-on official fascism, one party rule now and forever, to crush their enemies, see them driven before them, and to hear the lamentations of their women.

I mean, give it up, your guy is back in. What more do you want?
Candidates pay for endorsements? I never knew that.
One of the big things being hyped all over social media was that Trump was the anti war candidate and what a self own it was having a Cheney all over the traditional media stumping for Harris. Harris should have been campaigning on how Trump will take us into war with Iran and how he already tried to do it once by assassinating Soleimani, not aligning with the most toxic warmonger neocon name there is in this nation.If that's what people took from Cheney's endorsement or campaigning ... I don't know what to tell them. I'd probably have to ask them who ties their shoes.
My impression is that after Trump ordered the assassination of Soleimani and Iran responded by firing missiles at an American base in Iraq, injuring American troops, Trump sobered up and realized that he could get a lot of people killed with no benefit to himself. As low an opinion as I have of Trump, I think that for a brief moment, he used his f'in' brain and chose to deescalate. I doubt there is enough functioning gray matter in his head now to repeat this type of self-restraint.This is kinda the first I'm hearing of Trump being the "anti-war candidate".
I've heard that from a lot of MAGATs over the recent months.This is kinda the first I'm hearing of Trump being the "anti-war candidate".
I guess considering some of the staggeringly stupid takes I've seen from people connected to my family members on Facebook, it makes a certain amount of sense.I've heard that from a lot of MAGATs over the recent months.

I was going to say who the f is that and saw he’s a Fox News host. So that’s not really a surprise if we’re being honest. However, I checked him out and he did go to Princeton and Harvard, and he is an army veteran. So there is at least some level of competence there but he still just a Trump defender on January sixth and all that crap.Pete Hegseth for SecDef?
Whenever you think it can't get stupider it always manages.
Plenty of grifters have gone to elite schools: exhibits A, B, C: Trump, Vance, Cruz....I was going to say who the f is that and saw he’s a Fox News host.

Right, but they still gotta have the grades (and SAT scores) to get in there. Except Trump he was an anomaly. I don’t think these other people get in there because their parents know someone; they actually did earn it (at least a majority of them***).Plenty of grifters have gone to elite schools: exhibits A, B, C: Trump, Vance, Cruz....
It doesn't matter to me that they were once meritoriously qualified to attend those institutions. They have shown through their actions since that they have no problem being shameless liars.Right, but they still gotta have the grades (and SAT scores) to get in there.

Huh? Yes and no. Historically, legacy admissions was very prominent at elite universities. It still is, but people are beginning to realize Affirmative Action for the very wealthy is probably also "illegal" now.Right, but they still gotta have the grades (and SAT scores) to get in there.

Oh I agree. It’s actually worse that they’re smart and saying this crap. That just means they have bad intentions. But at least it’s not a complete Dumbo in there. I guess that was my point.It doesn't matter to me that they were once meritoriously qualified to attend those institutions.

Indeed. But that was for people whose parents or family already went to the school. I doubt Cruz, Vance, Hegseth, and many others got in this way. Unfortunately, there are still highly intelligent people that believe these things. The difference is they’re not being intellectually honest. That’s the main (and scary) problem.Huh? Yes and no. Historically, legacy admissions was very prominent at elite universities. It still is, but people are beginning to realize Affirmative Action for the very wealthy is probably also "illegal" now.
Who remembers the good old days when Royal Dansk used to sell butter cookies in a tall tin box, and inside the tin box there were multiple layers of Danish cookies stacked on top of each other? Did inflation caused the end of that?
How would Trump be able to do recess appointments when he isn't President? Are they talking long term?Trump's timing is bad on this too. Senate leadership election is tomorrow and the topic of potentially allowing him to do recess appointments is in play but even most conservative Senators are gonna think twice about it now.
Welcome to USAMRIID Mr Sec Def. While we will be wearing positive pressure suits for our tour of the BSL 4 labs we understand you won’t need to…..
