2024 US Presidential Election

Hmmm, given that Pecker is being forced to stand trial and spill the beans on Trump, could it fairly be said that the judge in this case is 'grabbing Trump by the Pecker'?

Second day of Pecker testimony wraps in Trump's hush money trial

And let's not even get started with all the 'gag' orders...

Trump gagged & hit by Pecker

That would be my headline if I was a writer for the New York Post.

There wouldn't be any with his supporters. Just the media outlets for a few days and then it would be forgotten. Just like he said he could walk in a busy tourist area and shoot someone and still get away with it.

Yeah his supporters wouldn't but I'm talking about everyone else. This is exactly what I meant when I said Biden gets a pass and an easy ride. He saw Papau New Guinea and thought 'cannibals'. If Trump had done that it'd be all over the news, social media and celebrities would be speaking out against it, like what happened with the shithole countries comment or when he said Mexicans were sending their worst over the border.

Now imagine the shitfest if Trump had come out with that. You'd never hear the end of it for racism accusations.

Very interesting to read about your experiences in that Daily Kos forum, Trollheart! Guybrush says, they didn't deserve you.

Thanks for the wiki link to "Purity Spiral", SGR: it's good to have a term for something that is surprisingly common in political, religious groups. The Communist Party in the 1930s suffered from this syndrome big time, and I see it alive today with Majorie Taylor Green's threats to oust Speaker Johnson, ( if I am understanding the concept right.)

I was thinking it might even be a better fit for what happened in the USSR in the 1920s, as Stalin fought back against his left opposition (led by Trotsky) that were more of the mind of international socialism and expansion, while Stalin essentially wanted to fortify their own territory and achieve industrial strength first. Later in the 20s, Stalin and his allies fought back against Right-leaning opposition of his party that opposed greater central control of the economy and collectivization practices. Stalin was a monster, no doubt, and there's no way to know how things would've ultimately turned out - but I think it's certainly possible that if Trotsky won out over Stalin and assumed control of the country, the toll on human lives may have been even worse. Additionally, who knows, if all things remained the same, if Russia would've been able to win out against the Nazis, and how a potential alliance with them would have manifested.

To your point, I think the divide in the Republican party could be described as a purity spiral.

Now there's a headline!

President Joe Biden says he's 'happy to debate' Donald Trump. Trump says he's ready to go

My money is still on the debates not happening.

But boy I sure hope I'm wrong.

White House plans to limit Biden's graduation speeches as campuses erupt in protests

WASHINGTON — Amid growing protests on college campuses by pro-Palestinian demonstrators, the White House is planning for President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris to have a minimal presence for a traditional rite of spring: delivering commencement addresses.

Faculty at historically black Morehouse College revolt over Biden commencement invite — some refuse to sit with President

Faculty at Morehouse College are in uproar over plans for President Biden to deliver the school's commencement address next month.

Professors at the historically black college say Biden's ongoing support or Israel amid the war in Gaza is too much, with some saying they will not be seen next to the Democratic president.

"I've spoken with several faculty members who say under no conditions are they going to sit on a stage with Joe Biden," Andrew Douglas, a political science professor at Morehouse told NBC. "It's on everybody's mind."

Bad news for Biden.

Exclusive poll: America warms to mass deportations



42% of Democrats supporting mass deportation of undocumented immigrants is wild.

Americans are open to former President Trump's harshest immigration plans, spurred on by a record surge of illegal border crossings and a relentless messaging war waged by Republicans.

President Biden is keenly aware the crisis threatens his re-election. He's sought to flip the script by accusing Trump of sabotaging Congress' most conservative bipartisan immigration bill in decades.
But when it comes to blame, Biden so far has failed to shift the narrative: 32% of respondents say his administration is "most responsible" for the crisis, outranking any other political or structural factor.
