Well, obviously J6 is Trump's fault; he chose J6 precisely becuse he wanted his minions to protest ratification of the electoral college vote.

There's a difference between targeting civilians and collateral damage. Hamashas blended its infrastructure near or under vulnerable locations like hospitals. In fact, IDF recently mistakingly killed 3 Israeli hostages. Blinken is simply urging more precise military missions

Trump's mocking McCain's war injuries (limited arm movement) in the context of an Obamacare vote reflects a character flaw, a lack of fundamental decency as a human being. Trump also lacks something something else McCain got twice (for POTUS and Senate): my vote.
— raguillemette (@raguillemette) January 8, 2024
Trump's reference to convicted J6 criminals as "hostages" proves his purported stance in favor of law and order to be totally phony. Any attempt to pardon these criminals, who threatened the Congress and VP and injured more than 100 cops, would be an abuse of Presidential power

Let me point out that contrary to Biden's economists' hype, the LFPR is still down from pre-pandemic levels, jobs in the private sector are stagnating, job listings are down, consumer & government debts are at long-term highs, and consumer spending is relying on pay-later schemes

Trump's worry about beng the next Hoover is not without reason. The Fed always raises rates one too many times, and the series of rate hikes take time to trickle through the economy. The problem the Fed faces is rate cuts could exacerbate inflation & high rates are recessionary.

It's humorous to hear insane Trump argue he had a constitutional duty to meddle in state elections (false), never mind one in which he himself had a vested interest, which violated professional ethics and constituted an abuse of power.

Nope. First of all, qualified immunity is a judicial fiction. Second, the whole purpose of Ford issuing a Nixon pardon was becaus Nixon didn't have immunity from posecution of crmes while President. The criminal Trump is not above the law.

You're not that bright. I didn't say there wasn't such a thing as qualified immunity. I said it's a perverse unconstitutional judicial fiction.

Any Trumpkin who thinks Christie has de facto endorsed Trump isn't very bright. I don't speak for Christie's 10% or so support in NH, but I suspect his supporters will coalesce around Haley, not Trump. https://t.co/rTgpjFJPBx

It's sad but perhaps inevitable "Chris Christie" would withdraw. Like Giuliani in 2008 targeted and failed to take Florida, Christie targeted NH and it wasn't going to happen. There was a time when he was the hottest politician in America and could have beaten Obama. Timing...

Ron DeSantis in the CNN debate is incompetent on overdue social security reform. He misled on past payroll tax surpluses. He said the USG "spent it". It is true the USG requires the reserves invest in US debt. But his talking point implies payroll taxes are general revenues.
— raguillemette (@raguillemette) January 11, 2024
Ron DeSantis also incompetently implies that a < 1 year dip in life expectancy during COVID-19 era resolves the need to reform social security in terms of revenues or cost reduction (e.g., deferred eligibility). The social security actuaries have not validated his unlikely claim.
— raguillemette (@raguillemette) January 11, 2024
Another stupid meme talking point on social security made by DeSantis was to deny it's an entitlement.

CNN is lying about DeSantis' version of the flat tax, implying it's regressive. I heard him specifically say during the debate the first $NNk of income would be exempt. No economically literate person believes in a progressive income tax; it discourages work at the margin.

Criminal Trump's lawyer's argument that President Trump could get away with murder unless the Senate convicted him is just a variation of his belief that Trump could kill someone on 5th Avenue without losing support. No one, including POTUS, is above the law.
