Whatever they’re saying/writing in public, Republicans/pseudoconservatives/fascists are privately weighing what chance Trump has of winning the election. Right now he could produce a Democratic trifecta which might overturn much of their agenda (barring the presence of Manchin/Sinema-type Dems). Or he could return to power and get rid of that pesky democracy once and for all. It’s a tough bet with unknown odds but they may not have any choice but to take it.

Laughing. My. Ass. Off.

So I don’t become too enraged by these cynical charlatans, who obviously know better but would trash our democracy for the sake of their revenue, I console myself by remembering they personally loathe Trump. So every word they type in his defense likely makes their tangerine-sized stomach ulcers more inflamed.

You gotta put a disclaimer on this shit, Roy. For a sec there I thought the hijinks going on in this country had finally sent you around the bend to that land of A Few Fries Short Of A Happy Meal. 😊

Notably, the NR editorial was very short of details from the actual document indicting Donald J. Trump, whom, it must be said, NR does not support. It’s the rankest conservasplaining, relying on its own authority, in which it is vested by the irrefutable a priori righteousness of its ideology.

Bravo! Great concept well executed .

Fuckjesus I'm tired of Trump. The world is slipping back into All Trump- All the Time. It's just gonna get worse and I'm tired already.

I was working my horse yesterday afternoon. There was a group of the usual there. White People with Horses. They all love them some Trump. I'm used to it. I can usually tune out. They were talking about how this was just a Biden distraction from the shitty economy.

( the parking lot was full of $80,000 trucks. And my Honda Fit)

I couldn't take it.I cut the workout short and went home.

Oddly, the 'free speech' spouted by Queens Man is paid for by the recipients thereof.

But again we eventually devolve to the classic "Yelling 'FIRE' in a crowded theater", tho these days the phrase should be updated to include 'READY! AIM!' to keep abreast of the times...

Brilliantly argued. Mr. Rich Lowry, and (dare I say't?) Mr. William F. Buckley himself would approve. I would also stress that Mr. Manson's "followers", in their very act of following, are by definition the only participants with agency in this relationship, and in the alleged crimes themselves. Therefore Mr. Manson has no responsibility whatsoever for their actions.
