Important to remember that SCOTUS is not deciding whether to execute or incarcerate TFG.

They're only deciding whether or not to disqualify him for the most powerful office in the land. Seems like that would be a much lower bar to get over.

Important to remember that Trump's immunity case was never meant to be won, just to slow things down.

It's already succeeded in slowing things down somewhat. The jury's still out, so to speak, as to whether it slows thing down a whole lot more.

It's pretty obvious Trump and the MAGATs know now they're playing for all the marbles.

They have little to lose by intimidating officials (including judges) with death threats against them and their families. Biden should be providing extra security to anyone who could be pressured into messing up the election.

Am I still listed as a member of the Southern Baptist church I joined at age 13?

I was "born again" around my 13th birthday. Pretended to be, actually. I'd already stopped believing (if I ever did) and nodded and smiled at the minister just to get those people off my back. I was a kid. What else could I do?

Decades later, I have no regrets. I sometimes get annoyed when I see a news article saying, "There are umpty-ump bazillion evangelicals in America" and wonder if I'm by inaction contributing one...errrr.....soul, to that count. In the Age of Trump, I don't want to be giving those people one subatomic particle of support.

What will the people who say TFG was picked by God say if...

...he becomes totally impaired by dementia?

Is it just me,or is DU turning into Youtube?

Seems like posts with only text and still graphics are becoming a minority. A story that would have been been a 60-second read now takes 5-10 minutes (after I find my earbuds and turn them on.)

I'm not inviting anyone to my New Year's Eve party who approves of Adolph Hitler.

Hitler was a thoroughly evil player on the world stage who used his ability to harness people's anger and hate to wreak havoc , destruction, suffering, and death everywhere. I don't want any person in my house who thinks any of that is positive.

Not inviting Trump fans either.

With the "vermin" speech, Trump is now nakedly emulating Hitler, so...

...how long until people start defending Trump by saying, "You know, Hitler wasn't really that bad"?

Fixing the House would be a piece of cake.

Just need a block of R's to switch parties. What do they have to lose? Anyone to the left of MTG is going to get primaried anyway.
