Why arent Trump supporters supporting the constitution? Locking Trump up should be universal now that he wants it. I have a real problem with this too, it's like a collective hysteria has descended on these people who no longer support the rule of law first and foremost, and instead don't care as long as it gets "their boy" into power. I wonder if, a few years from now, any of them will ever admit to being wrong...or will they be on their deathbeds years from now still saying that Trump won in 2020?

Forgot to add some other predictions that Goodell will ram through at the behest of the owners: 9. Football on Valentine's Day (likely, with the Superb Owl being pushed back whenever they add the 18th game) 10. Football on Halloween (regardless of which day of the week) 11. Football on Election Day 12. Football on New Year's Eve (regardless of which day of the week) 13. Football on New Year's Day (ditto) 14. Football on MLK Day

Another Trump Chump goes to jail while Teflon Don still roams free. 😡

No, but real lasting change takes time. Sometimes left-wingers want to ram changes through at a very fast pace, and not everyone is on board with rapid change. But a slow, gradual strategy doesn't seem to be an option in the age of social media and instant gratification.

It seems cultural movements are like a pendulum...push too hard in one direction, and it only comes back harder in the opposite direction. While the goals were admirable in 2020, I do think some people pushed way too hard to certain changes to occur overnight, although I don't believe anything should be named after slave-owning secessionists in the 21st century. That pushing from the left also caused this team's name to be dropped and to be replaced with a mediocre name and image which inspires no one. I'm fearing that this country is becoming more like the Balkans.

“I ask that when you cast your vote, you remember that Stonewall Jackson and others fighting on the side of the Confederacy in this area were intent on protecting the land, the buildings and the lives of those under attack,” said a woman urging the board to restore the Confederate names. “Preservation is the focus of those wishing to restore the names.” Obviously this woman is a blinder-wearing freak. The Confederacy rightly ended in 1865. Yes, Stonewall Jackson was "intent on protecting the land, the buildings, and the lives of those under attack"...protecting rich slave-owners and their 'property' from the federal government of their own country. People forget to mention that it was a violation of the Constitution for a state to secede from the USA...not that it will prevent it happening again if this woman's ignorance is more widely-held than we believed.

That's when they SHOULD do it...and they should have Tony Dorsett run up to the mike and grab Green's retirement plaque and start sprinting down the field, forcing Green to run him down from behind again. If Jason Wright is in charge of this ceremony, I would imagine he would do it during the home game against the Panthers, however. 🙄

While I fully respect the job that our law enforcement officers do and understand the dangers of their jobs, I don't believe they should get 'qualified immunity' for when they make egregious mistakes. Transparency and accountability help to build public trust, but the 'blue wall of silence' often defends their 'brother cops.' 80% of cops are good people, but just like any other profession they attract some people with the wrong qualities. I know two of the neighborhood bullies I grew up with went on to become cops, because it suited their authoritarian, domineering personalities. One later was fired for roughing up a druggie and lying about it, and video taken from bystanders proved them wrong. These kind of cops HATE people with phone cameras. Look up the Tony Timpa case in Texas...he was a disabled man who was having a severe panic attack and called the cops to help him. Guess what? They killed him by sitting on his back, and they've gone back and forth over the years trying to argue 'qualified immunity' and such. There was also Kenneth French at a Costco in California, who was shot while running away from an off-duty cop...who also shot both of the man's parents and caused one to lose a kidney. Guess what? He didn't go to prison. The only good thing that happened was the wounded parents were awarded a $17 million settlement.

Here's a thought: what if Trump nominates one of his own family members as the VP? There's nothing that says he can't do it, and with the snot-nosed Barron being selected by the Florida GOP for some title yesterday when he hasn't even graduated from high school yet just proves the GOP has become Trump's personal political party.

I have a feeling that Goodell will eventually start charging for access to the NFL schedule, at say, $19.99 a pop. Anyone who republishes the schedule for other who haven't paid for it will get hauled into court, or at the very least banned from all NFL activities going forward. Maybe Goodell will organize a weekly pay-per-view event every single week where a player opens up an envelope and announces who they'll be playing next week. Imagine the fun when even the players don't know who they'll be playing every week until the last minute! Think I'm crazy? Everyone said: Goodell would NEVER add a 17th game to the schedule because it would unbalance everything and make an 18th game a fait accompli. (coming soon) Goodell would NEVER add an NFL game on Christmas Day, since that day "belongs" to the NBA. (started last year) Goodell would NEVER add an NFL game on Black Friday. (started last year) Goodell would NEVER make NFL teams play on TWO short weeks during the season (which is happening this year). Goodell would NEVER add a SECOND NFL game on Christmas Day because (see #2) Goodell would NEVER have the NFL season start on Labor Day weekend, since that weekend "belongs" to the NCAA (OK, this hasn't happened yet, but with the 18th game coming...) Goodell would NEVER lock the NFL players out of the stadiums if they complained about adding the 18th game (which he did back in 2011). Goodell would NEVER have an NFL game happen on a Tuesday or Wednesday (which is rumored to be happening this year too). Mark Cuban was right...pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered.

I think a lot of our politicians missed the boat on what Trump would do, because they think rationally and don't think like a 'chaos agent' like Trump. The Dems waited too long to act and didn't anticipate Trump's delaying tactics (which they should have, due to his past with Roy Cohn) and the moderate GOPers again thought Trump was stupid and could be controlled by their own people.

What bothers me about this uber-Moral Majority movement is that they support the use of violence in order to "restore" the US as a white Christian nation. That's basically what the Confederacy was all about. They don't see January 6th as a horrible tragedy, but a STARTING POINT.

And the irony will be that if Trump wins in November, Garland will wind up behind bars himself.

My worry is that a vote for Haley would be a wasted vote, since the winner takes all the electoral votes anyway. People who cannot stomach voting for Biden (whether they're far-right GOP and would never vote for a Dem, or people who don't like either candidate and stay home) and write in Haley's name won't keep Trump out of the Oval, I fear. With these court cases disintegrating before our eyes I am losing hope.

Judge Merchan DENIED.

How can his MAGA followers continue to see him as a superman when he begged to be spanked by a stripper with a magazine that had his face on the cover?

Funny how the media hasn't really reported on this NAR movement before...I knew evangelicals were illogically backing Trump, but this makes it look far more widespread than anyone ever thought...and confirms that the current evangelicals are basically adopting the same beliefs that the Confederate States of America had about America supposedly being created for white Christians only...and that violence is OK in furthering their goals. https://religionnews.com/2024/05/06/how-trumpism-has-pushed-a-fringe-charismatic-theology-into-the-mainstream/ How Trumpism has pushed a fringe charismatic theology into the mainstream Charismatics who don’t identify as evangelicals also show majority support for the territorial spirits notion (59%), which only drops below a majority (to 34%) for nonevangelical, noncharismatics. In short, these NAR ideas and theologies have spread far beyond the explicitly charismatic circles in which they originated. In other words, what not long ago seemed to be a marginal set of beliefs has become a dominant religious framework among American Christians. We’ve known for quite some time that charismatics and Pentecostals were the fastest-growing Christian group in the country, but no one has shown yet just how widespread NAR-linked beliefs are, or how far they extend beyond a charismatic/Pentecostal identification. From our evidence, it is no surprise that we are hearing much more talk from religious leaders about demons and spiritual warfare. The fact that these NAR-affiliated Christians make up the core of Christian Trump support and the new base of the Republican Party also helps explain why many elected officials have taken a decidedly charismatic turn. It explains why a Southern Baptist in good standing like Mike Johnson would be linking arms with NAR apostles, why provocateur Roger Stone has claimed he too is the subject of prophecies and announced in 2022 that he had a vision of a demonic portal above Joe Biden’s White House. It explains why former Texas Gov. Rick Perry would propagate the notion of Trump being anointed by God.

Novichok.

On their death bed, no one ever looks back on their life and says "you know, I wish I'd spent more time at the office."

I fear this will just make Trump even more popular than he already is...his sycophants believe every word he says is the truth anyway, but now undecided folks are going to start to think Trump is getting shafted by the justice system. You should see the ridiculous chatter on Fox articles...that everything the judges do is illegal, Holder was found to be in contempt of Congress but was never penalized...it doesn't matter what the TRUTH is, these people BELIEVE their own truth and we are heading for more violence on Election Day. Trump has already said if the election is fair he will abide by the results. Why didn't TIME ask him 'what are your standards for a fair election...when there were 11 investigations into the last election and they found little if any fraud.' CNN and WAPO just keep fact-checking Trump and pointing out his lies, which is fine...but this isn't going to convince anyone who is already in the bag for Trump. Doubt they even read or watch anything that criticizes Trump to begin with. Starting to look like Nazi Germany...all those Germans who knew about the camps only denied knowing about them because they lost the war. If they had won the war, there would have been the sound of crickets. Now we have VP candidate Tim Scott actively saying the 2020 election was rigged, and this guy has a good chance to be the next VP... No one ever asks Trump for his 'proof' that the last election was stolen. He doesn't have any proof and will just pivot to another topic like he always does...but faith in our electoral system has been thoroughly undermined just by Trump's words.

It's sad how far Giuliani has fallen since 9/11. I wonder if he ever looks in the mirror and realizes that he screwed himself by backing Trump. Never mind, I already have that answer. If he ever had an epiphany, he wouldn't be in this predicament. Sad to see people who keep doubling down on stupid.

The Republicans have made their bed with Trump and must now lie in it. But the fact remains that they support him because his large number of supporters keep calling/emailing death threats to Republicans, and they're terrified of crossing him. Since when is it legal to send death threats??

I'm convinced that a large number of Trumpies like him simply because he is entertaining and brings drama to their otherwise drab lives. Who didn't laugh heartily when he referred to Jeb Bush as "Low-Energy Jeb" and Elizabeth Warren as "Pocahontas"? He gets away with saying things normal politicians would lose their careers for...because he's not judged as being a politician. But they're also hypocrites...the same misogynistic behaviors Trump is accused of, which his followers ignorantly gloss over, would be unacceptable if he were a Democrat...just look at how these people rail against the misogynistic Bill Clinton. At the end of the day, Trump is popular because he appeals to fear, a base emotion. In fact, I think Trump might as well go ahead and adopt the Winnie the Pooh song "Heffalumps and Woozles" to describe his followers' fear of immigrants: They're black, they're brown, they're up, they're down They're in, they're out, they're all about They're far, they're near, they're gone, they're here They're quick and slick, they're insincere Beware, beware Be a very wary bear

Awww, poor baby.
