Why, Wilky didn’t the partisan hack, Thomas state his willingness to reconsider “Love vs Virginia?” Answer: BECAUSE he is a partisan hack. I KNOW you agree with that, right? And, please….. reconfirm my faith in your ethical purity…. djt is a grifter and crook, in every sense of the words…. right? First, Thomas said nothing about Loving v. Virginia. The idea that he would reconsider Loving v. Virginia is nonsensical and offensive. The rest of what you say about Thomas I will disregard, because it is a non sequitur. When I was in law school, I had to choose a Supreme Court justice to write about in my constitutional writing class. I chose Justice Thomas, because his decisions are very consistent and even-handed. Scalia was harder for me to wrap my mind around. And the others were even more difficult, because their decisions tended to be more malleable. I did not enjoy reading his concurrence in the Dobbs case. But it is very Thomas. Love him or hate him, he is just about as consistent as they come. I mean read his opinions on Establishment Clause cases. The concurrence should not surprise anyone. DJT is a grifter and a crook? Moreso than the current President? Who has destroyed more American wealth? Who has hamstrung more Americans from living their best lives? Who has alienated our friends in the Middle East, while emboldening our enemies there, in Asia, and in Eastern Europe? Who is currently setting several of those worst economic numbers since WWII? Politicians all suck. Every single one. Some suck less than others. IMO our current President is a walking, talking economic and international geopolitical disaster. I voted for Trump in 2016 and 2020. I thought early last year that I may have made a mistake. But with how things have been going in the past 14+ months, I am very, very proud of voting for Trump twice. If I had to vote today between Biden and Trump, I vote for Trump, as I always do, with some hesitation. If my choice is between Biden (or you can pick most of the Democratic frontrunners that ran in 2020) and a grifter and a crook, I choose the grifter and crook every single time. If you want to call Trump a grifter and a crook, I think that you have ample evidentiary support to state that, but it does not change my belief that you could probably walk 50 paces in any direction and find at least 17 different people, who would be a better President than any of the Democratic nominees in my lifetime. And probably at least 16, who would be a better President than any of the Republican nominees not named Reagan. Might be a lawyer but no economist. Remember in 2018 when trump administration added gasoline to an already hot economy by cutting coorporate taxes by a trillion a year and economists said it would cause massive inflation and stock buybacks within 5 years while leaving the feds nearly powerless to correct course for a soft recession. Huh that was like 4.25 years ago. Republicans trash the economy and democratic fix it. Republicans love to sabotage everything on the way out so they can blame democrats. The rich keep getting richer either way so it’s all good. Find something besides voting and identity politics to be proud of. |

The rich keep getting richer either way so it’s all good. Find something besides voting and identity politics to be proud of. Lol. What? Explain why Trump's corporate tax cut would cause "massive inflation" in the United Kingdom? (The Far East seems to have avoided most of the inflation problems of the United States and Western Europe.) Explain why Trump's corporate tax cut would have more of a global impact on inflation than Biden shutting down Keystone XL, putting the moratorium on new drilling, shutting down drilling in ANWR, throttling new permits in drilling of everything. (Literally, I had a helium mine deal held up, because of Biden's awfully-worded Executive Orders on new drilling.) Explain within the United States why Trump's corporate tax cuts caused more inflation than the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan Act of 2021. Explain why it was a great thing to make the world super-reliant on Russia energy and drive up the cost, so that Russia could be flush with cash and invade the Ukraine. Explain why the Democrats bragged about blocking the purchase of 77 million barrels of petroleum in 2020 at rock bottom prices to refill the desperately-depleted strategic petroleum reserve, which would have resulted in a $6 billion profit last year alone. This is exactly what is hamstringing Biden right now. He does not have the inventory to release to try and mediate the petroleum price increases, because of some terrible partisan maneuvering by Schumer in 2020. Who exactly is proud of identity politics again? No. Allowing companies to buy back stock was stupid. There should have been a way to foresee that was going to happen and close that loophole. Just like Obama should have foreseen that people would buy foreign cars in the disastrous cash-for-clunkers fiasco and just like Obama should have foreseen that people would buy older houses in his TARP loan fiasco. Cash-for-clunkers was out-and-out stupid. I have never heard anyone competently defend it. I believe that Obama's TARP and the Trump Tax Cuts were mostly great, but they could have certainly been better and the Congress for both could and should have done more to make sure that the money was going to the correct places and was being used as they were intended. But one loophole in the Trump Tax Cut is not what has driven inflation to 40-year highs and inflation in nations like the United Kingdom up (although still not nearly as high as in the United States), as well. |

I like presidents who don't try to negate the results of elections and lead coups in an attempt to overthrow democracy. Listen, I love Presidents that do their darnedest to destroy huge industries in the United States and alienate our friends in Canada at the same time. I love Presidents that make everyone's money worthless; that turn everyone's investments into a bunch of Monopoly money; that alienate our allies in the Middle East; and that embolden our enemies in Russia, the Middle East, and the Far East. I love Presidents that can make you yearn for the measured leadership of Weimar Germany in terms of general economic (in)competence. Oh wait, no. No, I don't. Hard pass. The United States of America gets the government that it deserves. And apparently, we all deserve hot garbage right now. There was no coup. You would know, if there were. So, there was nothing to lead. Honestly though, the last 17 months have been hot garbage. If Trump had the foresight to foresee the last 17 months, good on him doing everything he could to stop it from happening. I was appalled to see what I saw at the Capitol on January 6th. However, what has happened the last 17 months is far worse by several orders of magnitude. Keep going back to that well, though, Dems. It has been dry for some time. America deserves better than Biden. |

You would knowingly vote for a man with self-interests put ahead of the good of the country? What did Trump do in his presidency that makes him better than Biden? Well, I guess Trump did have better relations with Putin, so there’s that. As for Presidents of note, I personally think Obama was one of our best. Intelligent, articulate, stately. He was hampered by Republicans and their constant call for his birth certificate and such. Childish behavior. Republican Presidents have been pretty weak. Trump, W, George and Reagan. As much as you love him, Reagan was merely an actor. Maybe that’s where we differ. I want the President to be the smartest and most capable guy in the room. Republicans seem to want an actor. |

There was no coup.
Only because people sworn to uphold the law and the Constitution did their jobs, at the local, state and federal levels, to prevent it. Not because fat Orange Cheeto didn't try. Even Pence, the big while hole in the middle of the donut.
Unless, of course, you're saying every single one of the multitude of Republican/Trump government officials who have testified before the Jan. 6 committee has committed perjury. Every. Single. One.
The whackjobs might have thrown Liz Cheney out of the party, but she ain't lying.

Sometimes they’re indoctrinated.
I know I preferred baseball and basketball to politics and the Supreme Court when I was 10, but to each his own. What child isn't? Human beings are social animals and the strongest society is their family. Children learn from their parents, and their parents shape their views of the world. When we leave the nest, so to speak, we have our own experiences and these continue to shape our beliefs and our lives. |

They're late to the party, but, hopefully, they right the ship. That's their job. In the end, inflation usually destroys the economy to the point that a new equilibrium is achieved. The fed's job is to make that as painless as possible. |

We’re still on this?
Okay here’s what we need to do. Create a post needs society with incredible education systems. The main reason for non-medical abortions is not being ready or being unable to provide for children. So make a society where needs are met so anyone can have children. The single biggest prevention method of abortions is a strong education. Educate people well so they have safe sex and make well informed decisions.
There ya go, we solved it guys. Now all we have to do is create a society of equity without incredible income disparities so that we can all live in relative comfort. I’ll leave that part for you guys to figure out, I’m tuckered out.

A show for nothing? For nothing? Women just lost the right to make a decision that affects their entire life. Losing rights, losing freedoms is nothing? and the baby's life? Meh. Nobody else cares (officially) about that so-called life. Once it is born, that's a whole 'nother matter though. |

Not a good day for your boy Trump, Wilky. It clearly appears the President of the United States wanted an armed mob to attack the Capitol.
"Send Rudy, guns and dummies!"
But remember, paying $2 more for a gallon of gas is far, far worse than a lame-duck yet still-sitting President trying to overthrow the government and end democracy as we know it.
