I would not be surprised if the MAGA movement takes a sharp turn in the direction of Anti Semitism. I think a lot of them, though they love Donnie, wish he would drop that Jew SOn In Law of him.
Let's put it his way, the profile of your typical MAGA member is pretty much that of most Anti Semites. |

This an example of the level of credulousness that exits in some parts of Trump's cult. People (mostly men, I'd guess) refuse to believe they have Covid-19 to their dying breath - literally. It leaves me with a sense of hopelessness in overcoming the divide between the reality community and the all the others.

A new poll has found that the majority of Americans who are registered to vote, including one third of Democrats, would like to see a special counsel be appointed to investigate the Biden family’s business dealings overseas.

A casual perusal of reality reveals that when high school graduates enter college, marxist professors begin indoctrinating them. Its not just "learning about marxism" in economics class. This explains, things like footage where BLM founder Cullors states "We are trained Marxists". BLM's donors are supporting Marxism. This offers a glimpse |

![]() In what courses Bubba? Landscaping? Database management? hydraulic engineering? chemical engineering? Would that me Marxist-Leninism? Stalinism? Trotsky's Comintern? Maoism?

I think your perusal was too casual. Can you provide evidence of Marxist indoctrination? Not just a few anecdotes but actual statistical evidence that would support your claim?
For example, this... ...is just a bunch of garbage strung together. Tell me, do you really think that supports your opinion in a believable manner? |

What exactly do you think their job is? Have you watched the press conferences? I have. What I've seen are direct answers to direct questions.
But keep in mind there is very little substance you could ask him at this moment. You should also acknowledge that Trump hasn't taken questions from the press since before the election. Trump's schedule has aso been empty. Talk about someone not doing their job. |

Regardless of how corrupt Trump was or the fact that it was pretty much the same as previous Presidents, Biden simply doing more of the same shows that he must want more trumpiness, because this is how you get more trumpiness.

Biden off to a rocky start with the candidates he's reportedly looking at.
Hopefully he makes picks that don't alienate millions of progressives who helped him into office. |

Hmm... would appointing people who aren't lobbyists/CEOs & such really "alienate" anybody? I've never gotten the impression that even those who do make corrupt appointments actually did it on a principle that that's the right thing to do. (But maybe they could object in private on the grounds that the one non-corrupt appointer was making them look worse?)

Antony Blinken to be Secretary of State (by Mitch's Grace)
https://www.politico.com/news/2020/1...f-state-439513 very qualified, but also very close to Biden, personally. |

When do we think that house Republicans will start impeachment proceedings against Joe Biden for election fraud ?

But like I've said before I get the sinking feeling in my gut that "Impeach" will become just another tool in the political toolkit instead of means of last resort, like government shutdowns and the filibuster.
It will, obviously, vary depending on the political power of the parties involved but I get the impression that for a few decades at least the opposing party will try to impeach the President, pushing the process as far as they can even if their level of political power means that "as far as they can" can't amount to much more then "Bringing it up a lot." |

Well conviction in the Senate (and removal from office ) requires more than a simple majority... Given the divided nature of American politics, the republicans are unlikely to gain enough senate seats (even if the democrats have a bad midterm election).
More likely they will try repeated impeachments just as a tactic to try to embarrass the democrats, and/or disrupt the government. Sent from my LM-X320 using Tapatalk |
