Re: Eric Trump is a chip off the block

I don't think Buttigieg is the future of the party. In the shorter term, I think Whitmer and Newsom top the list, and frankly, that is for me the odds-on-favorite to be the ticket in 2028 as I think they both have Presidential ambitions and if so that they'll be the front-runners right out of the ga...

So what's next?
That may well depend on who Trump chooses as his VP candidate. I'm reasonably confident that on the Democrat side of the aisle that the answer isn't Kamala Harris.

Re: Eric Trump is a chip off the block

I've made very clear in here in the past that I could care less about Hunter Biden's laptop. In the same vein, I could care less about something Eric Trump posted on Twitter. I just don't care. Was it in poor taste? I can see why some people would be offended. But again, on a scale of 1 to 10 on how...

Re: Eric Trump is a chip off the block

Per the logic of the thread title, does this make Joe Biden a crackhead?

As to the story here - I see much ado about nothing.

Re: Catholic Priests continue to Rape Children

It's not possible to claim bigotry for a ruling class of a society. And since religion is a personal choice, not something you are born with like your gender or color, it certainly is a bias but I would argue it is not bigotry. Uh...no. The dictionary definition of the word is very different from w...

Re: Trump Booed at Libertarian National Convention

While I consider myself as being somewhere between a Conservative and a Libertarian politically, the Libertarian party itself is a joke. The fact that Trump was booed by that group isn't surprising, and frankly isn't particularly newsworthy other than for the fact that Trump isn't used to being booe...

Re: Catholic Priests continue to Rape Children

Are you Catholic? How bout that... so am I. TC's problem here is he is literally shooting in the dark since he can't possibly know which posters are going to ring his neck over this... and it'll be some sort of bi-partisan coalition. I've been calling out TCT's anti-Christian and anti-white-male-co...

Biden leading in on-line betting. https://www.predictit.org/markets/detail/7456/Who-will-win-the-2024-US-presidential-election By 10 no less… bettors usually don’t put their necks out and make fanboy bets so I count this as a good sign for now. Interesting perspective, since it has swung 18 points ...

Re: 2024 is going to be a clusterf*&k

That doesn't answer my question, at all. What I'm asking is, what neutral process can play out whereby the authenticity of the results are verified to a degree where both sides are confident that the correct person won?

Nikki Haley says she's voting for Trump. https://www.cnn.com/2024/05/22/politics/nikki-haley-donald-trump/index.html Haley said Trump “has not been perfect” on policies important to her, including foreign policy, immigration and the economy, but President Joe Biden “has been a catastrophe.” “So I wi...

Re: The Bias of Alito

1st Amendment rights are only not at play here to the extent you are flat out calling Alito a liar.

And your little quip about the Constitution meaning little to me is utter BS.

So my broader question is an invalid one simply because you believe it isn't applicable in this particular instance?

Re: The Bias of Alito

So I'm just curious, since this isn't the first time that a controversy over a SCOTUS Justice's spouse has occurred. If you're married to a SCOTUS Justice, do you thereby relinquish some of your First Amendment rights?

Re: 2024 Presidential Primary Polling Thread

Due to the fact Trump nearly fell the other day at a podium... I saw the video. Talk about grasping for straws :roll: The podium itself is what started falling and Trump's physical reaction was that of any normal person. Biden, on the other hand, probably would have went right down to the floor.
