Does it seem that the national nightmare that is Trump has been going on forever?

I don't know. Nixon was pardoned and an end to our "long national nightmare" seemed over almost as soon as it began. Trump just keeps popping up like an incurable venereal disease. I look forward to the day when I never have to hear his name again. Any speculation when that might be?

So tired of CNN and other media trying to suggest Biden is on the brink of defeat

Every single time Biden has some sort of success or positive poll, CNN and other media outlets start espousing doom and gloom for his chances at a second term.

Their only interest is getting us to pay attention to them, not the reality of the situation. I'm glad when people are fired up about any election but I feel nothing but manipulated by these self-serving media ghouls.

It's sad that the freepress in this country has to resort to this type of cynical manipulation. I feel that we are all dumber as a result. I'm done watching these hacks.

I am not sure who will win in November but I do know CNN doesn't have a clue while still pretending to be the arbiter of the truth.

Just vote in November and all will be fine.

Hey MAGAs, don't be shocked when

...your unelectable candidate loses again triggering you to cry "Stolen, rigged election".
He wasn't electable in the first place. YOUR inability to see what the rest of see so clearly doesn't justify your fever dreams of injustice for the loser you keep supporting. Try losing with dignity for a change.

Trump will go down in history as a tragic figure

As he so richly deserves. No matter the twists and turns that have yet to play out, he is destined to be remembered as the loser he always was and always will be. Thoughts and prayers. Not really.

We are all assuming this election will be "normal"

You know, that the primary starts and concludes as it always has, the election will follow, and someone will be elected.

What if the MAGAs have no intention of business as usual? What happens if they take their mobilized hoards and try to bully their way into power using the reelection workers themselves as shock troops and bypass the whole election process?

I put nothing past these people anymore.

I beseech you to check your 401K today

Thank you Joe Biden. I hope somebody in this administration is pointing out this fact to the voters.

Let's face it, military aid to Ukraine isn't pallets of cash.

Often times when our leadership talk about 10, 15, or 50 billion dollars in aid to some country like Ukraine, we are not sending them a giant check or a pallet of cash to spend. What we are sending is military (and some humanitarian aid) in equipment that we assign a numerical value to, and it isn't the newest or the latest equipment we have in our arsenals. For example, the ATACMS we recently supplied are 90's technology and certainly not the latest most expensive highest tech military equipment we have. We are not building much in the way of arms and sending it abroad. We have warehouses full of this stuff. So don't be fooled by those that say that we shouldn't be sending all this money to Ukraine or Israel when we need the money here at home. It was money spent a long time ago for weapons that were never used.

Rigged elections my ass!!!

I am so sick and tired of tRump and his crooked allies screaming about rigged elections when they lose. tRump even went so far as to say that if he lost the 2020 election, it was because it was rigged. Many of his accolights then repeated the same nonsense after they lost their elections. None of them ever came up with even a scrap of evidence to prove their claims but the damage, oh the damage to the election process was the point after all.

In a developing country, observers are sent in to monitor the integrity of the election process. Something unimaginable in a country like ours. It should never be necessary in a Constitutional Democracy like the US but the times they are a changing thanks to MAGAt diehards bent on tearing this country down and replacing it with Trumpistan.

I think that we should call their bluff. They either agree to international election observers, which they would absolutely hate, or shut the hell up. They can't have it both ways because what they really mean is that everytime they lose, only they are the arbiters of fair and free elections. I'd love to watch them talk their way around that situation.

We know the elections don't need international observers but it would go along way towards restoring faith in our election process to expose these phonies for who they are. SORE LOSERS WITH NO IDEA OR INTEREST IN HOW TO GOVERN.

The new loyalty test for GOP field

"Will you support a convicted traitor, a convicted insurrectionist, a convicted sexual preditor, a convicted election fraud conspirator, if he wins the GOP nomination?"

"Well, ya! Sure!"

How far has this party fallen to reach this level of collaboration with a man that has only two faces? Grumpy grandpa and painted on orange plastic smile.
