I no longer post on DBR. I’ve been censured (and censored) for posting anything against the former president. Interestingly, it appeared at the time that posts supporting said former president were okay. Haven't gone to zero, but I post waaaay less than I used to specifically because of the infanti...

Can someone please explain to me how he has not been locked the hell up??

Just practical, I think. The potential for serious violence from the extreme right-wing is very real.

Of course, there are risks to NOT making an arrest as well. Hard to tell what the right call is.

Yup. I wish both parties would work harder on arguing why their policies are better, and spend less time arguing why the members of the other side are somehow inferior. IMO Biden has done a good job doing exactly that in arguing for the Inflation Reduction Act and the CHIPS act and it led to huge p...

I mentioned about Ron Johnson being down in the polls; turns out he's also down in the eyes of the GOP money spenders. Along with Dr. Oz and Blake Masters. Each of the three have had cash pulled from their campaign advertising.

Too much spending on crudite, huh?

There is a big difference between the conservative principles espoused by Reagan and Kemp, and the angry populism espoused by Trump. It is disconcerting to be sure, and has left a sizable number of voters without a real home. Not that sizeable though. Trump was and is very popular among Republicans...

And no, Hillary isn't "innocent" in any reasonable use of the word. Nor is she equivalent to Trump in any way that truly matters. I hope we can agree on that as a reasonable starting point. No, that honestly sounds like a pretty dumb fucking starting point to me. I have no idea what any reasonable ...

It can’t be a good sign that Nancy is ignoring the advice of her Democratic President’s advice. ESPECIALLY on foreign policy. If you wanted yet more evidence that the Dems cannot actually govern . . . . It is hard for me to figure how the Dems as a whole couldn’t improve the chances of a second Tru...

Liked Biden's speech today. He is definitely partially responsible for some of the horror we're seeing unfolding and deserves some blame, but he made the case for getting out as well as can be done despite that. (the dementia references here are just sad and reflects very poorly on the posters makin...

LMAO Troublemaker

Listening to Clinton, Bush, and Obama talk last night was breath of fresh air. The fact that they even did that little get together at all says a lot.

LMAO, I assumed that mods OY were intentionally giving us leeway these past few days. Guess not. See y'all on the other side of the incoming banhammers.

Shout out to OPK who reassured us weeks ago that the courts would probably be resilient to Trump's nonsense. I was skeptical of that as someone not in a law-related field, but looks like he was totally right.

Aw man, I was ready to get banned in solidarity with dudog but didn't make it in before the lock. #freedudog84

Trump and his spawn are deranged madmen

People that suck. Nate Silver Nate Silver Nate Silver Also, Nate Silver Don’t say that OY though! My last effort at broaching thus subject Monday was not well-received. No argument from me anymore. The pollsters prattled on about how they made all these changes, so much so that if anything they wer...

Sorry Troublemaker, but I don't know if I can deal with an election map prediction game this year. I enjoyed it in 2008 and 2012 when I thought the stakes weren't as high and that Obama, McCain, and Romney would all be decent presidents. I also hate hedging my rooting interests, so if I filled it ou...

I'm just terrified that somehow, someway this is going to end up in the Supreme Court. And if it does, there is no chance they don't side with Trump. Only option to me is still have it be a Biden landslide to sap any challenge of credibility. IF it got that far, I think there is a very strong chanc...

When you can't afford to buy Florida, you say "Bye, Florida". President Donald Trump’s campaign has all but pulled its advertising out of Florida, as it stakes its relatively small bank account on the industrial northern states that carried him to victory in 2016. Since the beginning of the fall ca...

Put myself through the torture of watching some of 60 Minutes interview in an effort to be informed. What a pathetic, deranged excuse for a human being (Trump I mean, but also maybe me for sitting through it?).
