FWIW, a quick look at the Newsweek link also led to links where Halperin is predicting (hoping?) that Drumpf will win. I agree Newsweek isn't what it used to be.
This. The absolute worst thing that could happen would be for people to jump on something that later turned out to be a deliberately dangled false story.
I personally think he deserves this... should be a reminder to others to not get too involved with Drumpf's legal issues.

Most likely he likes the idea of being able to deal with generals who disagree with him, and I think I don't have to tell you how Adolph often dealt with those generals.
I'll be surprised if Harris wins there to be sure. That said.... if her campaign's efforts help turn out more voters I think that makes it at least possible, and as you said, only hurts Cruz.
We definitely had fun-even though we were broke we'd either pool our money together or find free stuff to do. I can't imagine doing that work, and living on $6 an hour now.
This. Closing a restaurant at the end of the day is the hardest work I've ever done-and at the end of a shift at a coffee shop I could have stuck my arm in water and gotten a decent brew.
At least the job I work now pays well and is fairly stable. My body's still complaining more often than not.
In all seriousness, I blame The Apprentice. He should have had a show called something along the lines of "4 Bankruptcies and Counting." I'm too lazy to look up the exact number right now.
Let's see if I get this straight.... he works 15 minutes at a McDs that's closed for the occasion... and uses it to mock Harris's experience working there years ago?
Sad part is it will probably work in his favor.
I remember hearing shortly after his underlings took the punishment that the newspaper who first broke the story was going to gut the department that did the research work to do this... I believe it was Maddow, and she urged people to subscribe to their local papers to try to preserve these types of investigations. Sadly, I believe not enough of us did this.
I'm getting the opposite of unicorns, puppies and rainbows via email, from various fundraising sites. I haven't donated because I have no idea which, if any of them, are legit-also don't want even more emails than I'm already getting.
Years ago I watched a documentary about how once the Plague era ended, those who survived ended up becoming more prosperous. I definitely would prefer a different way to reduce the population....
And I would guess people are having fewer babies because it's hard for them to take care of their own financial needs, let alone those of children.
It's more than a little of a SMH moment when a cousin of mine posts memes on FB referring to FEMA as being run by SJWs, and that the post-Helene/Milton recovery aid is being done by people in diesel, polluting vehicles instead of hybrids.
I'd post the meme, but now I can't find it. Do people not realize where the money used for disaster relief comes from?
IIRC, in '16 Drumpf was told to stay off of social media in order to not highlight his craziness in the last few weeks of the campaign. Maybe whoever is in charge is thinking he now needs to be kept out of the spotlight completely.
It would definitely be great to go to a place where people mostly want the same things, just disagree about getting there. As it is it's getting to the point where maintaining infrastructure that people depend on (directly or indirectly) feels like pulling teeth.
