During the 2013 season of the Wendi Williams Show, Wendi had Ivanka and Donald Trump on her show. Wendi asked Ivanka and Donald what they had in common:

Ivanka: Either real estate or golf

Donald. Sex

Are you trying to convince us that Donald Trump is a complete idiot, possibly a pervert, and a generally unsavory character....?

We know...even without your efforts we have managed to glean enough information about him to hate him from the very marrow of our bones.

Are you sure this fascination with all things Donald Trump is healthy?

Developments in Georgia, concerning Trump. Good read, if nothing else, Georgia may have Trump and some of his cohorts for election interference among other charges. But it will take time to get it altogether.

Georgia subpoenaing Giuliani, Graham in Trump election probe

It's high past time that we start electing Americans to congress and the presidency who put America first instead of their political party. For way too long we have been electing Republicans and Democrats who happen to be Americans instead of Americans who happen to be Republicans and Democrats.

What are you talking about?!? The Grand Jury has been seated since May 2, 2022. Today's subpoenas are indicative of how things are rolling along quite nicely.

This is a special grand jury, first they must hear from all those subpoenaed which probably takes a couple of months. When its investigation is complete, the special grand jury will issue a final report, recommend action if the special grand jury deems it appropriate. Then up to the district attorney to decide whether to ask a regular grand jury for an indictment. Which the regular grand jury must be impaneled and come to a decision. Then if the regular grand jury decides the evidence is there to charge Trump, then the DA can do so. Most likely, you’re still talking months if not possibly another year before a trial could begin.

obtuse

lacking sharpness or quickness of sensibility or intellect : insensitive, stupid He is too obtuse to take a hint. b : difficult to comprehend : not clear or precise in thought or expression It is also, unfortunately, ill-written, and at times obtuse and often trivial.—

Rick, I try to be very clear. I double space to make it simpler for you to get my point.

Yet you seldom do.

I'm a moderator here. You use this place as a hate blog. Every post is an expression of hatred. You read the news, it triggers you and you come here and shout about how stupid everyone else is but you.

You wanna change the world? Run for office. You seem to have all the answers.

Respect, Rick. It's part of our guidelines. Whether it's part of American politics or not.

No...I got it right = Obtruse smile

To thrust (something) forward or upon a person, especially without warrant or invitation: to obtrude one's opinions upon others.

A couple of things from this new poll:

Half of GOP Voters Ready to Leave Trump Behind, Poll Finds

https://www.yahoo.com/news/half-gop-voters-ready-leave-113731959.html

https://int.nyt.com/data/documenttools/us0722-crosstabs-nyt071222/0f9f399b059138f9/full.pdf

From the poll and article on the poll, although there is much more in this poll, article than just these 2 points.

1. As Donald Trump weighs whether to open an unusually early White House campaign, a New York Times/Siena College poll shows that his post-presidential quest to consolidate his support within the Republican Party has instead left him weakened, with nearly half the party’s primary voters seeking someone different for president in 2024 and a significant number vowing to abandon him if he wins the nomination.

By focusing on political payback inside his party instead of tending to wounds opened by his alarming attempts to cling to power after his 2020 defeat, Trump appears to have only deepened fault lines among Republicans during his yearlong revenge tour. A clear majority of primary voters younger than 35, 64%, as well as 65% of those with at least a college degree — a leading indicator of political preferences inside the donor class — told pollsters they would vote against Trump in a presidential primary.

2. 20% of all registered voters said they didn’t like neither Biden nor Trump and didn’t want neither one to become the next president in 2024. That is close to the 25% of all Americans who disliked both major party candidates in 2016 and didn’t want neither Trump nor Clinton as their next president.

https://news.gallup.com/opinion/pol...ans-dislike-presidential-candidates.aspx

On top of that, one in 5 volunteered to pollsters that they would sit out such an election, although that option had not been offered to them.

Which brings me back to what the Democrats need in 2024 is a fresh, young face. Not these old foggies like Biden, Warren, Sanders etc.

Rick, I am a moderator. We have rules about civility and respect. Nothing you post anymore even borders on civility or respect.

There are dozens and dozens of posts which are nothing but insults with as many demeaning adjectives as you can think of strung together. I've tried and tried to hint that you have gone over the top and you need to tone back the hateful rhetoric.

But maybe sharing your hate here is cathartic...therapeutic...maybe it keeps you from being the first openly gay mass killer...

So I'm not going to bother you about it anymore and will simply delete the ones that don't add anything of substance to a thread.
