Did Vance sign a commitment to go full-on racist on a daily basis when he joined the Trump campaign?

I don't remember him being so incessantly vile pre-2024.

I don't know if you're being deliberately obtuse or if you're trying to bait someone into an argument you're having with yourself.

Asserting self defense doesn't get you "reported to your regulator". And if submitting is the safer course, tell us what happened to the inmates at Alligator Alcatraz.

She didn't say she'd "resist arrest".

She said she'd fight back if attacked by armed, masked men.

None of us need to assume that a gang of men dressed like Proud Boys, jumping out the back of a Budget rental van, and attacking people on the street are anything more than what they appear to be.

I think the honest take is that Trump, and Miller, and Noem want someone to get killed.

Preferably an agent so that they can claim an insurrection.

Not that protesters getting killed is something they wouldn't like to see as well.

I don't think Trump has much hope of winning the Nobel Peace prize as long as he continues threatening to use military force against Venezuela, and Brazil, and Panama, and Afghanistan and Denmark and Canada and Chicago and Portand and Los Angeles....

I mean, people have been calling on Grassley to retire.

It just doesn't really hit as hard from those of us on the left, because we're also calling for the rest of his party to retire with him.

Chuck Grassley is too old
Stop running and retire.

It's the fact that she was recruited by Schumer that is the real problem.

She's not an incumbent defending a seat.

She'd be a 79 year old, freshman, junior Senator if she got elected.

The question really needs to be asked of Chuck Schumer.

Why haven't Democrats worked to create a bench of Democratic candidates to run against one of the most vulnerable Senate Republicans?

They should be planning beyond the 'next' election.

"She said Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., encouraged her to run"

I have no problem with Janet Mills, but she's 77 years old, and it's absurd that the Democratic Senate leadership hasn't been cultivating a new generation of candidates in a very winnable New England state.

72 year old Susan Collins would be young upstart in the race if 77 year old Janet Mills becomes the Democratic nominee.

5/ But here's the even darker kicker.

The House Republicans aren't even in town. Speaker Johnson told them to stay away from DC. They haven't been here in nearly a month. Refusing to show up for work. An unprecedented, unplanned 4 week recess.

And why?

Arguably the fastest way to stop Kristi Noem rampaging through the streets would be for someone to sabotage her videographer's equipment.

And maybe hack her TSA videos to play the SouthPark video instead.

They didn't bother to ask Fox, because the Trump administration is Fox.

Why is the guy responsible for making sure the planes fly on time talking about the No Kings protest while there are nationwide flight delays due to the government shutdown?

I love that this seems like some sort of superpower to the new generation.

Gotta have something to get a little respect for the 30+ year olds.

They reserve the right to completely change their reasoning when the next Democrat becomes president.

"If this is true"

Trump constantly tweets out nonsense like this as though he doesn't have the resources of the entire federal intelligence and justice community to answer these questions for him.
