This asshat is young and seems to have naively bought into the bullshit hawked by the Ayatollah. Obviously, he’s dangerous and predisposed to extremism, but what should happen now is a pretty difficult question (short term, definitely prison).

It is. I honestly think we should just bar whole families from politics if they’re related. It might be slightly unjust to those family members but we’ve got enough people that it’s not like we’re going to run out of candidates anytime soon.

“I wasn’t going to vote for Trump,” Maureen Dowd’s sister, Peggy, told her, according to Dowd’s column. “But now I am because I thought this whole thing was a sham.”
Bull fucking shit… the whole conversation is exactly what you’ll get when someone wants to do something they know is dubious. Talk to a gambling addict on their way to a casino and you’ll hear echos of these sort of thin justifications.
Also, the trial wasn’t orchestrated by Biden or anything… in no way does this trial make Trump a more valid candidate.
Oh sure - my point is that this person was always going to eventually be a Trump voter this is just their excuse. In terms of fundraising I think it’s extremely predictable. Their idol was being dragged through the dirt - it’s the perfect time to help them overcome.
The election of Trump is basically a fucking religion at this point.
If you think Melania isn’t as much of a shit heel as the man she chose to marry after experiencing how he acted with models you’re honestly being misogynistic at this point. Women aren’t innocent naive little things that “gosh I couldn’t possibly think for myself.” Melania charted a path into the whitehouse and was willing to put up with a lot of shit to get there.
I think it’s politically unwise for Zelenskiy to antagonize either candidate… but chances are Trump would start funding Putin regardless of what he did and gosh is it hilarious to see.
It’s hard to really compare people that extreme but it’s always been my impression that Tom Cotton bought a lot more into the white supremacy fascist bullshit. Tom Cotton and Josh Hawley are the first two names that come to mind when I think genuine “Hitler had some good ideas” fascist.
Josh Hawley is a less famous pick, but I’m sure he has a lot of experience suitable to being a running mate.
