Cheney Lands Major Backers https://www.cnbc.com/2022/08/23/the-koch-network-and-other-trump-allies-are-quietly-backing-his-biggest-gop-critic-rep-liz-cheney.html

Time for Trump to Cry "RINO" Again The Koch Network, a major Republican donor, looks for a candidate other than Trump. https://www.cnn.com/2023/02/05/politics/koch-network-republican-primary-2024/index.html

About level of support I do not disagree. Reading polling data is just that, reading polling data. But saying Haley is seeking VP when she is actually talking about president, that's mind reading.

Court Strips Trump of His BS Non-Disclosure Agreement Employee non-disclosure agreements have their place, and their limits. Trump's version used with his 2016 campaign employees was invalidated by the Court because they were found to be too broad. Trump's toy box grows emptier by the month...

A bit of mind-reading going on, I see.

Trump Has His First Official Opponent Nikki Haley will formally announce soon. More are likely to follow. That may actually be good news for Trump. In his weakened state, a small field makes him easier to beat. But a crowded field splits the vote more ways, making it easier for Trump to win the...

If the Republican Party Does Not Nominate Trump, Might He Dump Them to Run as a Third-party Candidate? With DeSantis coming on strong and Trump's legal problems getting worse, it is not a foregone conclusion that Trump will win the Republican nomination for president in 2024. That raises the...

My reply is in the "What's Going on in the US House of Representatives" thread where it is more on-topic. This is a Trump thread.

If the voters have spoken, why is the Republican House Speaker asking (ordering) Santos to recuse himself from committee participation? If the voters have spoken, ought they not be given full representation in the House? Or maybe it is as they claim. Maybe Santos is voluntarily recusing himself...

New Activity RE Stormy Daniels, the Manhattan DA and More It is an unsourced report ("according to a person familiar with the matter") but there is objectively verifiable activity that suggests the report has something to it. The New York Times headline is "Manhattan Prosecutors Begin...

Then let's help those who engage in whataboutism get to the real point they are trying to make. Instead of saying, "What about Hillary's emails?" when someone mentions the Mar-a-Lago search, say, "My main concern is the fairness with which the government applies the law. I love Trump and I think...

Expulsions, reprimands and censures in the US House are rare. Here's the list.

In my case, it was the neighbor kids my age I was talking about. But to use your example, the whataboutism is illegitimate. It is not about the other twin. It's about the parents. It's not about the other twin. It's about whatever standard the parents are using and its fair or unfair...

This article begins with "When someone accuses you of whataboutism, you can be pretty certain you are right and they can’t refute it." My response is, if you are engaging in whataboutism, I can be pretty certain you are incapable of or you are not interested in advancing a logical argument that...

What about Trump? He is famous for his thousands of lies. Your failure to mention Trump totally invalidates your thesis, does it not? Just kidding. I'm simply making my same point in a different way. Using whataboutism, I don't have to answer anything you say. I need only change the subject to...

Sad but true. However, Speaker McCarthy has said, “If for some way when we go through Ethics and he has broken the law, then we will remove him,..." (Source) Until McCarthy and the House Republicans say otherwise.

If you say so. I say otherwise. Whataboutism is a fallacy, not a valid argument. I don't want to make points by changing the subject to something else. If I say Bob is a bad guy, I don't talk about Steve. I highlight Bob's words, actions and failures to act to make my point.

Wrong again. I have said the Biden documents thing should be investigated by DOJ and I have pointed out that a special counsel has been appointed for that very purpose. That's all good with me. Where crimes are committed, crimes should be investigated and prosecuted. That's not about Democrats...

I'd have to go back to double check my previous posts, but I don't think I have ever called for any member of congress to quit.

You truly love the "whatabout" method, don't you? While it is logically fallacious, you use it often. Whatever is said about a Republican, you immediately change the subject and talk about someone or something else. Trump this .... well what about Hillary? Santos this .... well what about...
