We criticize countries like China who maintain their power by systematically imprisoning their political opposition. Maybe we should lead by example, instead of by what we’re doing now. It’s time for a complete changeover, and the most complete that’s available is the one led by Ramaswamy.
Inflation is down. There is little to no corruption in the Biden administration, unlike the previous one. We have a neutral DOJ, unlike the weaponized attorney general last time.

Ramaswamy was already millionaire when he accepted Soros award he said he needed to pay for law school
Ramaswamy reported $2.2M income during same year he accepted Soros scholarship
Ramaswamy defended himself last month for accepting a $90,000 award from the Paul & Daisy Soros Fellowship for New Americans, which was founded by Daisy and Paul Soros, the late older brother of liberal billionaire financier George Soros.
Yelling GOP candidates scrap over who’s the real communist
Former Vice President Mike Pence and businessman Vivek Ramaswamy engaged in a shouting match over who’s a communist during Wednesday night’s Republican presidential debate. “I have a newsflash, the U.S.S.R. doesn’t exist anymore,” Ramaswamy said after Pence suggested it’s in the United States’ interest to support Ukraine amid the Russian invasion.
Lying fraud Republicans are out of touch with reality.
Oh, quite untrue. While DoD and the 3 letter Intel agencies do not report it, we have had excellent intelligence from Gitmo’s unsavory prisoners. I wish they’d publish it, but since we’re still gathering Intel from some of them I guess the feds don’t want to alert bad guys about which prisoner snitched them out.
And do you really believe OBL was killed and buried at sea?
Trump gets biggest cheer of debate night as moderator admonishes crowd
The audience at Wednesday night’s Republican presidential debate had to be admonished by the moderator after shouting at Chris Christie amid the former New Jersey governor’s attack on former President Donald Trump, who got the loudest cheers by that point in the primary debate.The audience rushed to the former president’s defense, shutting down Christie during an exchange with Vivek Ramaswamy, who suggested that the former New Jersey governor was auditioning for MSNBC.
Republicans are sticking with their lying traitor psychopath dictator fraud criminal guy, disgusting Trump.
Inflation – Happening in every developed nation around the world. If you think that a federal election will change this, you don’t understand the economy or politics.
Corruption – The level of corruption in the current administration is completely and utterly average. Of course that isn’t saying much, but Trump’s claim of “draining the swamp” was never fulfilled, he just changed which rich people had inappropriate influence… an election won’t make corruption go away.
Border Crisis – Because COVID is over, Title 42 has expired, and Biden has put other measures in place. It is way too early to see if Biden’s new rules have had any impact. It is a huge mess at the border for sure, but immigrants are not as dangerous and scary as you like to believe.
DOJ Abuse – The department of Justice working to implement justice… that’s not what I call “abuse”
$ 4 Gas – The US still has some of the cheapest gas in the developed world. It costs $5.40 in Canada, $6.70 in New Zealand, $7.20 in England, $7.60 in Germany… but go ahead and cry about $4.00
Crime – This is a mixed bag. There has been a significant increase in property crime (e.g. car theft), but at the same time a significant drop in violent crimes… For example, there has been a 12% drop in murder rates across large cities compared to last year. >
DeSantis mocked for angry and robotic debate performance: ’You’re on TV not Twitter’
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis appeared to stumble through the early part of Wednesday night’s Republican presidential debate, and social media pounced. Laura Loomer, a right wing activist and Trump supporter, wrote on her X account that “@RonDeSantis is having a meltdown on stage. He looks so angry.”
‘Morning Joe’ panelists rip ‘unbelievably annoying human being’ Vivek Ramaswamy
Republican presidential candidates – with the notable exception of frontrunner Donald Trump – convened for the first 2024 debate, and panelists on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” discussed the best and worst performances.The panelists agreed that Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) fared surprisingly poorly and Nikki Haley exceeded expectations, and contributor Mike Barnicle panned upstart candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, whose recent surge in the polls landed him at center stage and who seemed to aggravate all of his rivals.
Gov. Tony Evers is calling for Wisconsin’s false electors to be “held accountable” for their plan to cast the state’s electoral votes for Donald Trump in the last presidential election.
Ten Wisconsinites gathered at the state Capitol Dec. 14, 2020, and cast false electoral votes for Trump after Joe Biden’s victory in the state. Republicans in six other swing states took similar actions. That plan is a key component in the Aug.1 federal indictment of Trump.
The former president is charged with four felony counts in the case — Conspiracy to Defraud the United States; Conspiracy to Obstruct an Official Proceeding; Obstruction of and Attempt to Obstruct an Official Proceeding; and Conspiracy Against Rights.
The plan for false electors in the swing states to cast votes for Trump despite Biden’s victory at the polls is a major part of the indictment. Trump and his team of supporters is alleged to have used those alternative slates as part of a campaign to pressure then-Vice President Mike Pence into certifying the election in Trump’s favor.
On Friday, Evers told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that the 10 Wisconsinites who cast the false ballots should face consequences for their actions.
The same day, Evers tweeted, “What those ten fake electors did was wrong. People have to be held accountable for that, and I hope to hell somebody does.”
Last month, Michigan’s attorney general announced felony charges against 16 Michiganders who signed certificates falsely attesting to Trump’s victory and sent them to the National Archives.
“And Donald Trump added $8 trillion to our debt, and our kids are never going to forgive us for this,” declared Haley in an apparent nod to the national debt increasing by about $7.8 trillion during the Trump administration.
“What she said,” wrote Biden, in a caption alongside a clip of her remarks.
These days, I believe the inconceivable is conceivable: Trump, I am more than hopeful, will be jailed. Look at the number and breadth of the charges set out with surgical precision in persuasive indictment after persuasive indictment. Taken together, they catalogue a crime spree that constitutes a “criminal enterprise” of breathtaking scope, with the intent to silence his accusers, hoard a cache of sensitive documents, incite an insurrection to prevent Congress from certifying Joe Biden as president, and subvert the democratic will of millions of voters in Georgia and beyond.
The 91 stiff, uncompromising charges are immune to Trump’s screeching outbursts and tired shenanigans meant to dilute and distract from the inevitable consequences of the barrage of felonies that he will, in due and steady course, be compelled to answer for.
Fox News cannot save him. His loud, obnoxious family and surrogates cannot save him. Neither will the imprisoned fanatics now holed up in jail for having stormed the Capitol at their patron saint’s sinister, self-serving urging.
Trump’s only imaginable salvation is to prevail next November and trigger an extraordinary crisis pitting a future convicted felon against the Constitution. Trump would welcome and revel in destroying the frayed remnants of a republic to save himself.
He will fail. As they did in 2020, enlightened Americans will see to that in 2024.

Carlson did not touch on the substance of the 91 felonies Trump is accused of having committed in the four criminal trials that could take place during the presidential election. But he did offer: “How do you get indicted every week and stay cheerful?”
If only any of this was true. I went to the store and food prices are down, gas is way below $4, the DOJ is prosecuting criminals and Hunter is still being treated worse than anyone else that did worse crimes. Still the GQP is not living in the real world.
The destructive power of hunter biden, is his ability without really trying to make the republican party look like a armature group of political véhpe’esé (the last word is Cheyenne)
On a different note, I have managed to survive the 2nd ice age 1970’s, Acid Rain 1980’s, Ozone later depletion 1990’s, The melting of the polar caps 2000’s, Global Warming 2010’s and Climate Change 2020’s. But none of this happened so not worried. Just thought I’d pass that along.
I watched that debate (not live). There were a few bright spots, but on the whole, the entire pack left me absolutely certain that I wouldn’t vote for ANY of them.
