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?

Not about the reporting of this particular story, but about your definition of the "media, I'm curious. Fox news counts as a "mass media" outlet, does it not? They have a big audience and millions get their news from Fox. You mention liberal news sources but leave Fox off your list. In your...

Pence Says, Trump Says, ATeam Says Pence: "There are those in our party who believe that as the presiding officer over the joint session of Congress, I possessed unilateral authority to reject Electoral College votes. And I heard this week that President Trump said I had the right to ‘overturn...

I don't think it will matter much if they read it or not. The Omicron peak is barely behind us. The COVID-19 new case count reached astounding levels compared to previous peaks. If any lockdowns happened in the most-recent wave, they were little reported. It seems political leaders nationwide...

Former Vice President Mike Pence said this today: "There are those in our party who believe that as the presiding officer over the joint session of Congress, I possessed unilateral authority to reject Electoral College votes. And I heard this week that President Trump said I had the right to...

Discerning someone's motivation and intent may not be a great feat, but it does require skill and applied effort. Every day people join our gym saying they are doing so because they want to lose weight. On the surface, their intent is to lose weight. But our staff is trained to learn the...

Regarding the effectiveness and impacts of shutdowns, it's wise to keep in mind the difference in perspective we have now, looking back on things, and in January, 2019, when COVID-19 was something completely new and deeply troublesome to many. In the early days of COVID-19, there were no...

It's like a dam is bursting. The first bit of water that makes it through makes it easier for more to come. That greater volume makes it easier for still more to come. And so it goes until all hope is lost and the dam utterly fails. First a few witnesses, then hundreds. First few documents...

It can also be credibly argued that these two governors pushed policies that killed a number of people who did not need to die.

New Zealand is an island, easy to isolate in ways impossible in the U.S. Yes, in theory, lockdowns can work. but as a practical matter in the U.S. they will never work because too few people will comply.

None of this is cut and dry. Some of what Trump said was correct and some was incorrect. So too with DeSantis. I do agree with the statement that COVID-19 did not crush the economy, government crushed the economy. It's also worth noting that the prominent experts are not talking shutdowns any...
