We see all of his policies and how he is solely responsible for it.[/quote]

Yes he is responsible for his policies, which is why he almost certainly will go down as one of the 10 worst Presidents the US ever had, I'm just pointing out that on a couple of those bad ones Trump had similar proposals (and at least one of them he would have been worse - a lot worse).

LOL, you and your right wing nuts keep claiming that but the World knows it ain't so.

Sam Bankman-Fried, a cryptocurrency billionaire facing federal investigation for mishandling customer funds, had high-level White House meetings 6 months ago—weeks before he pledged to donate up to $1 billion to Democrats.

Glenn Youngkin is growing on me. He's definitely on the leaderboard of my personal 2024 presidential candidates list.

Unfortunately, he's toast and so is Desantis. Trump is definitely going to announce he is running on Tuesday. Once he does the 2024 election is essentially over it becomes a foregone conclusion that the Dems will win. Reasons are Trump will be overwhelmingly favored to win the nomination but he can't win the general election. If somehow he gets defeated in the primaries he and his cult will turn on whoever stole (- because that is how he and his supporters will characterize it) the nomination, and sink the GOP nominee.

Don't disagree with any of this. But all I can do is use my own vote the best I can. Can't control anyone else.

[B]Trump Wants McConnell Out for Failing to Stop Him From Screwing Up the Midterms[/B]


“He isn’t making explicit asks, but he wants to see more Republicans holding Mitch accountable,” a person close to Trump told CNN.

According to CNN sources, in phone calls with allies, Trump has bashed McConnell, claiming he wasted money in races where Republicans faced an uphill battle while ignoring candidates who had a better chance at winning. Trump aides have mentioned Alaska’s Senate race, where the McConnell-aligned super PAC, Senate Leadership Fund, spent $5 million attacking Trump-endorsed Republican candidate Kelly Tshibaka, who was challenging incumbent GOP Sen. Lisa Murkowski. Tshibaka now leads Murkowski by almost 1.5%, putting her at an advantage going into the upcoming runoff election.

Runoff election???? Am I missing something???? I thought they just retabulate the votes from last week using the ranked choice system.

That is the classic red herring response. Why should we lower our standards as Americans? We are either leaders or we aren't. This is the equivalent of parents of telling a ten year old they need to go to bed at 8 pm and they complaining that Johnny's parents let them stay up till 11.

Is China doing their part? No but neither are we. We can lead by example improve technology and be innovators that make efficiency and renewable far more reliable and affordable.

Right now I don't give a shit what China is doing until we actually start doing something ourselves.

It's pretty simple actually. If he's guilty of a crime, convict him.

Don't overthink this one Chico. I generally follow the same playbook for everyone. If Hunter Biden is guilty of a crime, convict him. If Trump is guilty of crimes, convict him. If Hillary is guilty of a crime, convict her.

I can keep doing this all day.

I read that too. I think it is poor writing and editing. Alaska has ranked choice.
