Why? Even if there is clear and absolute evidence that trump cheated, the dems will do NOTHING. They were cowards in 2000 and 2004 and even now instead of challenging it, they will sit back and collect their trump tax cuts because they have NO skin in he game regardless of who is president.
My husband of 50yrs says(frequently), I’m a “To make a short story long” kind of person.
I have a point.
I used to love Woody Allen. Up until Dylan&Soon Yi. I’d see his movies day they came out. Was involved with a smart funny guy who looked like Woody Allen for a while.
Recently home after surgery, privately decided to rewatch old Woody Allen.
In “Play it Again Sam” terms like “scoring” “balling” which inherently aren’t bad words, but the use of women to rack up points bothered me. The Humphrey Bogart character saying something like: women understand a slug of whiskey&a smack on the jaw.
“Sleeper”, “Love&Death” etc language I truly did not notice at the time was everywhere.
My point finally is Trump was most comfortable during the Studio 54 days, Free Love which was never exactly the same for women. Women were raped, but instead falsely reporting we didn’t tell anyone, or maybe a very close friend. Donald&perhaps Melania loved the Jeffrey Epstein scene.
He’s actually most comfortable with people who share his views. Is it possible in Trump’s reptile brain, he doesn’t see anything wrong with what Matt Gaetz did, or the wrestling lady, or someone like Hegseth.
These are his ppl. He misses the days when he a rich person was free to have lots of sex(probably not all consensual)beating his with was no big deal.
It is remarkable how badly some of the old classics aged, and not just the movies. I pulled up some old TV comedy for my 100 year old mother to watch again, and the way women were treated and what the roles were, and how actresses were portrayed as reacting etc. now ranges from distasteful to shocking. We Have come a long way, baby!
IMO, Trump doesn't actually think any of those crimes are a big deal. He committed plenty of crimes himself. All you do is throw a few lawyers at it and they go away. He mostly he gets admiration from his base for his bad behavior. He's just picking people who have no morals because he has no morals. They are his people.
Looking at the people has chosen for his cabinet, I think they are chosen to tear these departments apart. I don’t disagree that Trump holds power over all of them, I’m just expanding on their purpose. Remember 8 years ago when disruption was a thing? The DJT administration will show that disrupting without a plan is not a good thing. It will hurt all of us.
Another excellent article that explains things so clearly. These are the most incompetent, inexperienced & ignorant people ever. But a criminal or shameful person is so easy to control & should only be considered for these positions in their dreams!
And what bothers me is they no longer attempt to hide it. If the mapmaker for the state parks hadn't blown the whistle on Deathsantis we would have hotels and golf courses that nobody wanted in our natural state parks!
Demand a recount.
Betsy..we all know something isn’t right

Built-In blackmail provides a lot of power. A lot of kissing the ring, a lot of bending the knee.

The Russians call this Kompromat. It is widely thought Putin has some on Trump.

Yes, Hillary was right. See my profile pic; my hero
Ogre, we should all shout out in righteous outrage that Gabbard and Bondi are DEI picks.
Gaetz will probably try to ooze into the Governor's mansion in FL. It would not surprise me. My state is really disgusting.

Yeppers. Great analysis.
He's doing a Reagan 2.0, appoint unqualified hacks who are corrupt, to destroy the dept they had (Ann Gorsuch at the EPA for example).
We are in for a rough ride. Hopefully, the mid-term elections will kick some Trumpists out of office.
Birds of a feather.
Wonder what JD’s secret is
Thanks for today’s comments. I’m asking everyone to not refer to 45 by his name…call him 45… this may piss him off!! ( or anything else but his name)
