Exactly

And folks will still cling to their guns and gas guzzlers. We're still cheaper than a lot of other countries.

Maybe it's the old man in me today, but Trump was the conduit for a lot of what has been festering in this country for decades. He made it acceptable, not necessarily to the main stream but to enough to make it dangerous. Trump spurred on by Right Wing Media, folks like Rush, Hannity, even Tucker and such would have never had the chance to have a platform like they do now 30 or so years ago. Not to mention a generation of opportunistic politicians who see the golden ring. And to all those folks its mostly a way to get richer, but to their audience its gospel.

Harking back to Watergate for a moment. It really wasn't until John Dean's testimony and more importantly the revelations about the missing 18 minutes on the taping system that the reality of what was happening at the time was significant. If I recall correctly, it really wasn't until the vote of the House Impeachment Committee that reality really didn't set in. Times are different, the two parties are more divided now than in 1974. I'd really like to know what turned so many of what we thought were conservative but not crazy Republicans to the dark side?

"Right Wing Wack Jobs" will just get craftier. Just look at Virginia where the current governor managed to walk a fine line between trying to ignore Trump and embrace his policies without the bluster and vitriol. When you have 40 plus percent of the voting population baked in just because they have an R beside their name it's an uphill battle. Organizing Democratic voters is like herding cats. Republicans are like sheep it just takes a couple of crafty dogs.

His younger brother Harrison Ruffin Tyler is still alive but not in good health. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harrison_Ruffin_Tyler

I'm old enough to get briefly sucked in by the Columbia Record Club and Book of the Month clubs.

TV ministers have been doing it for years. Before that itinerate "snake oil" salesmen. Not to mention politicians. Poor and desperate people fall for these scams, the ones we think know better and just riding his coat tails for the power and money. Exactly why some people don't want critical thinking taught in schools. Or even money management.

This is as big of a crime as the lies leading up to 1/6. This puts him into the TV Evangelist category. Just shows how much he despises the poor folks who voted for him. If he does run again I'd make it the cornerstone of my campaign. He lied and swindled you....

That's basically what they did in Michigan for the Democratic primary. Especially since two candidates dropped out days before the primary. I'm not sure of the votes were counted in advanced at the registrars office though. Meanwhile in the general, Republican controlled legislatures like Pennsylvania passed laws forbidding early counting of mail in votes (the Pa Legislators championed voting by mail early in the pandemic. Until Trump said differently.

It seems the current Trumper reaction is something like "but gas prices, inflation" As if one committee could actually wave a magic wand.

Quote on MSNBC from one GOP operative. This is becoming a DeSantis 2024 commercial.

He'd have a better chance claiming insanity.

2000 Mules makes an appearance...good explanation by Barr.

If my memory serves correct it was the GOP leading the push for vote by mail prior to 2020.

Now we know the reasoning behind Trumps rants on toilets,,

But he'd still vote for Trump if he's the nominee in 2024

Jared is such. tool

I think Rudy was drunk during the deposition...

The guy behind the RMN site is always astute...

They probably have video of his other interviews. I think Pence's guy is also scheduled to appear this morning. His testimony should be interesting.

FWIW...Hinch's W-L record with the Tigers is slightly better than he did with two partial seasons with Arizona. https://www.baseball-reference.com/managers/hincha.01.shtml

It's probably all you could possibly get past Senate Republicans who aren't retiring and are running for re-election.
