If he's a single issue voter, what will he do with the Muslim ban?

Reading about that jury...I didn't see any anti-2nd amendment types. This is a good day for safety and the rule of law.

My thesis is that Biden voters need to see him slay the dragon on stage.

Biden needs to bully Trump.

this one...

This Oakland County jury is interesting https://www.freep.com/story/news/local/michigan/oakland/2024/02/05/final-jury-jennifer-crumbley-trial-oxford-high-schooting/72479043007/ Lots of law enforcement and lots of gun ownership.

That right there is the correct response. That range should not be letting people who are impaired shoot.

Frankly, when I encounter people whose politics do not marry up to their obvious exterior appearance, I am usually willing to give that person a second look. I still cannot abide any Trump voter at this point but a Conservative who happens to be a jazz bassist? That person might be interesting to talk to. They are probably crazy but still.

also, so goeth MAGA

Tuck is leavin

Every wonder if the reason for the growth in the US economy might be tied to low wage people flocking to our shores?

I like that. Except, "[sneer] Chamber of cuckmerce is more like it" is coming from some MAGA channel somewhere probably.

Granted, concur.

He is involved because he wants to run on the issue.

Things are always worse when Trump is involved.

Yeah, it really gives one pause. You have to reevaluate the level of violence that person is prone to given how they reacted last time he lost. Probably you should keep the special deep state 911 number on speed dial.

Someone is defiantly not on team trump anymore

This is a good thread

And that one guy Bill Ackman funded Dean Philips strictly because he was offended that Biden was offended by some crass comment about Biden being silent after talking about his son. According to this well-funded article which seeks to explain that Ackman wasn't at fault, it still appears that they had a misunderstanding. Also, Ackman's only real campaign platform for his guy Phillips is DEI being bad. https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2024/01/what-really-happened-between-joe-biden-and-bill-ackman.html

I recall when I was despairing of Romney losing to Obama that i was willfully ignorant of things I thought helped the opposition. That is terrible as a path to decision-making but not uncommon. Mitt Romney... imagine thinking that a guy from the private capital world would somehow be good for Michigan just because he went to Cranbrook and his dad was governor? He's still a decent person but he's been trained in the wrong schools to understand Michigan.

It would be an odd white supremacist -- to say the least -- who sported French World War II regalia.

My former boss and I drove from Baumholder army post in Germany to Sembach Air Base at 120miles per hour listening to La Villa Strangiato air guitaring and air drumming the entire time. Heck of a memory.

well, the math checks out. The fact that he used the thing that was bouncing around in the zeitgeist was not unusual.

I was looking at the Four Freedoms speech. I gather that was the theme of the 1939 Worlds Fair in New York City.
