    Non sequitur.

    “Cry havoc and let slip the DOGE of war!”

    Those who cheered as J-6 American prisoners were locked in solitary for 18 months without trial, now suddenly fight tooth and nail for foreign terrorists’ "due process". — Buck Sexton

        I wonder what the weasel would have done after the last election if Trump had asked him to intervene as he allegedly did Pence.

        @Doctor-Phibes he probably would have done as Pence did. A different question is, what would have happened if the VP refuses to certify? The answer is a little more confusion on the way to the inevitable President Biden.

        Education is extremely important.

          Asa Hutchinson is out.
          (Did you remember that he was still in the campaign up until the Iowa caucus?)

              You know, it's funny the primaries aren't held nationwide on the same day. A few states influence who the nominee is. Anyway...the conventions might be interesting. Trump is really old, yet looks like a spring chicken next to Biden. Biden will not make it through a 2nd term, maybe he switches out Kamala for someone better when he inevitably wins then retires in 2026? And for the GOP, maybe Trump will be in legal trouble and have to play kingmaker at the convention...

                I heard that last evening’s turnout was only 14% of eligible voters. Pretty dismal showing for all the $$$ spent on the exercise. The result is probably an indicator of very little.

                Glad to see Ramaswamy wake up and throw in his towel. I guess in the end at least something good came out of all the hype and effort.

                            The crowd was even chanting "VP! VP!" I think. Good speech overall, I liked the opening line about so much focus on diversity and differences that we've forgotten to focus on what makes us the same. Good stuff.

                            I can see the Trump/Vivek sign now.

                                          Seriously - complaining that it was in poor taste?

                                          What other kinds of taste are there?

                                          I was only joking
