Re: 1270 to Begin

There was a billboard up along the lodge near I want to say the Davison on the SB side. This was in the last couple of weeks. So there is some advertising for it.

Re: Let's talk about the merits of the NY case against Trump

So apparently the idea that the 6th amendment will save him because he was unaware of the underlying crime won’t work very well as I suspected. New York law does not require them to reach unanimity on the underlying crime because he wasn’t charged with that crime therefore the specifics are irreleva...

Re: 2024 Presidential Primary Polling Thread

Digging a little deeper into the Morning Consult poll above which again was taken the day after the verdict…

49% of independents and 15% of Republicans want Trump to drop out. Registered voters approve of the guilty verdict 54-34.

Re: 2024 Presidential Primary Polling Thread

Dumping Biden is a redux of 1968. The Democrats don't have their poop in a group. You have split delegates. Biden gets the nod with a bunch of boos. You think that wouldn't fare well for the Republicans? The Democrats would be guaranteed to lose. There would not be enough time to heal from the spli...

Re: LMAO @ freep.com

As bad as Trump is he is still better than the alternative. It sucks that these are our choices. You may easily regret this opinion. Trump has a rap sheet as thick as the 1985 Manhattan Yellow Pages. Before him, many politicians and leaders had their careers ruined with much, much less. Would you v...

Re: Does anyone doubt that Trump would carry out his promise to be a dictator on day 1?

The only thing I know is that we will never see a Nixon '72 or Reagan '84 ever again. I think even Mondale's mom voted for Reagan in 1984. It will continue to be the usual suspects in blue and in red, a surprise and a down-to-the-wire outcome. TL;dr: we're fucked. Until enough Boomers die off that’...

Re: Your last opportunity to stop Trump from being our next President is the Democratic National Convention

The thing is, Biden has no way to go up. NONE. His opponent was just convicted of 34 felonies - an event that under normal circumstances would be a knockout blow; yet, Biden is still considered at best a coin flip by bettors and pollsters. He is 81 years old and mentally at best, suffering from som...
