As such, the only thing I see at issue in the Trump case is specifically the $130,000 payment by Cohen to Daniels and whether that payment falls under campaign finance disclosure laws - which, it is hard to know which specific laws are in question since Bragg refused to even put in the indictment th...

I was going to say - RT's definition of election interference and fraud is WAY too overbroad. Otherwise, people like Mark Zuckerberg and Jack Dorsey would be sitting in prison for their role in colluding with the Biden administration to outright censor (ie, Hunter Biden laptop, Covid 19 origins) or ...

I've been reading a lot of different articles summarizing what the prosecution is arguing and speculation on what they intend to argue, and the crux of their case appears to be that Trump directed Cohen to pay $130,000 to Daniels, in exchange for which she would enter into a non-disclosure agreement...

That Twitter post was so over-the-top dramatic that I don't know who would subscribe to her newsletter other than people who get off at the thought of Trump in prison, like Lester the Nightfly. "In another room, Letitia James was fighting to reinforce Donald’s bond, a symbolic gesture that signals t...

What about your beloved predictit showing Biden as a clear favorite? I would hardly call placing a 55% chance on a Biden victory a "clear favorite," nevertheless there has been some movement in Biden's direction over the past 2 weeks on PI. The wisdom there, just reading through some of the comment...

Beemer? Not much to comment on, at least not yet. 2 outlier polls isn't exactly a trend. No poll since November has had Biden any more than +2, so Biden +5 looks to be, by definition, an outlier. Now if Trump starts losing ground in the Rasmussen, Emerson, or Economist/Yougov polls that are taken a...

Also, it varies a lot state-by-state. In Georgia, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and Nevada, Trump's margin is about 2-3 points bigger in a 5-person race than a 2-person race. The opposite is true in Michigan. Wisconsin is a wash. Nationally, Trump does about 1 point better in a 5-person race. I don'...

RFK Jr. candidacy hurts Trump more than Biden, NBC News poll finds https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/rcna148536 This, per the Guardian. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/sep/29/robert-kennedy-jr-independent-run-president-2024 As to how this will affect the national election, I suspect he will...

Car wash mode?

Biden sucks way less and has kept the economy stable. Trump is incapable of that. That makes Biden immune to criticism? Is that your claim? That when he does things that would otherwise be worthy of criticism, that because Trump is worse in your opinion, Biden deserves a free pass? That is what is ...

As much as I generally distrust the federal government to do much of anything without abusing its power, the need for national security, much like any other kind of security, is a delicate balancing of individual rights against the broader want of society to be safe and secure. You have to inherentl...

Is it fair for me to say that those of you who will ultimately vote for Joe Biden this fall are mentally and physically incapable of criticizing him without invoking Donald Trump? For all the complaints of "whataboutism" you people have had through the years here, you are the group that is most guil...

This conversation has strayed from the original question of, should a child be suspended for using the phrase "illegal alien" in a classroom? Yes, the "right wing media" as you call it does focus a lot of their attention on the issue of illegal immigration. You and I can differ in opinion on how big...

To be clear, I was responding specifically to RT saying this: the Republican Party has turned the term into a slur the same as calling Democrats communists and socialists when they are neither. All of these terms are used by that political party in bad faith to rile up a bunch of people who don’t kn...

I'm still waiting for one single example where someone used the phrase "illegal alien" as a racial slur. If that's its only use today, surely one of you internet sleuths can find me one example. I have yet to see one.
