The sad thing is, if Republicans take the House as expected, their voter suppression and gerrymandering work will explain much of it.

In the news today ... "Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell disagreed Tuesday with the Republican National Committee’s recent censure of two GOP lawmakers, as well as its characterization of the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol. “'We all were here. We saw what happened. It was a violent...

The House select committee is uncovering and aggregating a host of questionable behaviors, some of which may be said to be crimes. Their full report will be issued long before the expected loss of the House to the Republicans in the 2022 elections. This information and evidence will be given to...

I appreciate your thoughtful answer. Three responses: 1. Is it correct to say that behind the conservative desires you detailed above, lies a desire for a set of values and lifestyle that works for them and is assumed to be right for all others; regardless of the cultural preferences and views...

I guess the thing that puzzles me the most about the idea of taking your country back is the underlying notion that you lost it in the first place. I have never identified myself as a Democrat or Republican, but I have always identified as a citizen of the United States. Legally, because I was...

Call them what you wish. I have the same questions: Who do they want to take it back from? Who do they want to take it back for? For what purpose do you they want to take it back? Do they not already have a country? If not, how did they lose it in the first place?

Thinking about this a bit more, this whole notion of Republicans taking "THEIR" country back is curious. To those talking about taking their country back, Who do you want to take it back from? Who do you want to take it back for? For what purpose do you want to take it back? Do you not...

You're speaking in generalities. Pilgrim cites a specific case with specific facts. In that case, the Minneapolis police themselves demonstrate the tragic and horrific downsides of their no-knock approach. By all accounts so far, they killed an innocent man who was asleep on a couch when they...

Hired, employed, trusted, and counted him as one of "the best people" he surrounds himself with

So as not to take the C19 Topics thread off topic, I'm sharing this comment here. Coalminer said: While this is a talking-tough fantasy expressed by many, is it a realistic expectation? With a like-minded President of the United states himself cheering his supporters on and rallying them with...

I think this is a good idea. https://www.cnbc.com/2022/02/05/delta-asks-the-justice-department-to-put-unruly-travelers-on-a-no-fly-list.html

It seems like overkill to me. Bannon was subponeaed to appear. He refused to appear. That's a crime. Pretty simple if you ask me. The only reason it would not be overkill would be if the initial investigation turned up other things that are themselves worth investigating.

Former Trump Attorney Michael Cohen is in a better position to know if Trump speaks in code than the writers of the articles you link to. Cohen said of Trump, "He doesn't give orders, he speaks in a code. And I understand the code, because I've been around him for a decade." (Source) That makes...

Good point. And point taken.

What I found interesting in the comment was the writer's present-day identification with the people who threw tea into the harbor and his casting those rebels in the same light as Republicans today. He said: I'm curious to know more about the Republicans are that he refers to. The present-day...

I am not a Republican (or a Democrat). When the Republicans take back "THEIR country," as you foresee, will it still be my country too?

I don't think this discussion about coded language will lead anywhere productive. If a code exists, the only people who can understand it are those who know the key. Arguing about what was meant or not meant without the key seems pointless to me.

Considered by whom? What person or entity do you mean? What person or entity considers Fox News to be too far-right leaning to be safe for Democrats to watch?

Perhaps your perceptive abilities are superior to mine. I was uncertain about what Turtle meant, so I asked.

Do you actually believe this? Who exactly do you believe "the Democrats" are? You speak of them as a group. What are the defining characteristics of that group?
