he wouldn’t! Because as much as he postures otherwise, he is a full-throated Democrat hack. Sure, he can at times talk a good game, but he is a liar.
THAT is why he is losing his Senate seat. So don’t get snookered by him–he will never actually run! He will always seem almost ready to, but he never will.
with a bit of an unblinking (and un-blinkered) eye: Justice Thomas is a towering intellect and historical figure.
And yet, despite his now-undeniable skill as a jurist and judge, Thomas finds himself the target of criticism that differs in kind from that reserved for the Court’s other conservative justices. One expects public disagreement with his most controversial opinions; we should welcome intellectually rigorous dissent, for no one can test the validity of ideas without it. But too often, critics attack not Thomas’s ideas but the man himself—and this is especially true of black critics, who regard him not merely as mistaken but as a traitor who has forfeited his status as “authentically black.”
and amazed.
Et tu, Nikki?
I mean, it’s not like any former Ramaswamy voters are now going to move to Nikki Haley! None. They ALL go to Trump. DUH!
things are different in Islam. And Leftism.There is no humor in Leftism, either. And for most of the same reasons…
“Allah did not create man so that he could have fun. The aim of creation was for mankind to be put to the test through hardship and prayer. An Islamic regime must be serious in every field. There are no jokes in Islam [or Leftism–ed.]. There is no humor in Islam. There is no fun in Islam. There can be no fun and joy in whatever is serious. Islam does not allow swimming in the sea and is opposed to radio and television serials. Islam, however, allows marksmanship, horseback riding and competition.”
― Ruhollah Khomeini
See, American Leftist comedians now almost ALWAYS just try and get mere “Clapter.” Actual stand-up humor most often derives from skewering sacred cows–there is ALWAYS a verbal misdirection, a juxtaposition of the serious and the ridiculous. And like Islam, Leftism simply cannot tolerate that.
Hence, Seinfeld and many comedians will no longer do college campuses.
There’s nothing funny in Leftism or NAZIs or East Germany, comrade! Yeah, Germans are famously un-funny for a reason…
I know the MSM loved her and pushed her, but most regular people just aren’t feeling it for her.
And no wonder. She is a GOP Hillary Clinton without the history of murdering people.
take long, did it?
that Biden can go any lower. Oh I would certainly love to see it (and I could be wrong), but I suspect it is just not mathematically possible. I think that we have already hit the “Democrat dead-enders” natural barrier, and without some world event intervening, he can’t go much lower. Mathematically speaking, there is just not enough variance left for it to move much anymore.
According to a new ABC poll, just 33 percent approve of Biden generally and the numbers are even lower for the economy at only 31 percent. Jon Karl said that was historically low for Biden and low for an incumbent.
I mean, we will see what happens, but I think this is rock-bottom for senile old Joe. About a third of people would vote for him if he were a rotting pumpkin, and we are about there now.
And it’s January. So let’s not be too hasty to say what it will be like in November, but barring a miracle (or massive voter fraud), it doesn’t look very god for Biden.
You may not like Donald Trump, but reality demands that you acknowledge that things were better under him. MUCH better!
What, I mean, do they think of a situation in which one political candidate is targeted by the opposing political party—which party, it may almost go without saying, totally controls the coercive instruments of state power? I believe most people don’t like it. They don’t like it because it reeks of basic unfairness and totalitarian overreach. [emphasis added]
… Prosecutors in New York and Washington can rely on biased judges and juries. But I suspect that even if Trump is convicted of something in one or both places, he will win on appeal. The cases against him long ago took on the slightly comical aspect of a vendetta.
… And it is just this, as Schoen points out, that should worry Democrats. “What should alarm Democrats is that Carter, like President Biden now, was extremely unpopular, while Reagan, like Donald Trump, was considered almost unelectable.” Indeed, remember what the issues were. Back then, “inflation was a thorn in Carter’s side, much as it has dogged Biden since the first year of his term. Not for nothing, 2022’s inflationary surge hit the highest levels since … Jimmy Carter was in office.”
But there’s more! Carter faced an energy crisis that was substantially of his own making. Now, Biden also faces energy price problems, and they are also almost entirely due to his crappy policies and general incompetence. And that much is plain to even the dullest among us.
Carter showed really bad judgment in giving away the Panama Canal. And now Biden has shown abysmally poor judgment in not only refusing to secure our southern border but to actually encourage illegal immigrants to overrun our border en masse–to the point of a showdown between Texas officials and Federal immigration scabs police!
honest. How bad ARE things for Biden?
That said, understand well that Democrats cheat. And they will cheat even more this year, because if he takes office he will be a raging bull–a one-man wrecking crew against the deep state.
And THAT is their mortal fear. So there is no measure too extreme for them to take in order to prevent Trump from taking office! Their “morality” is totally messed up. They would gladly put a bullet in his head and then count themselves “good” for having done so…
he does. Because Krugman is a mindless political hack who is almost always wrong and who is a suck-up cheerleader for the Left! He thinks that anyone who thinks differently than he does is just stupid!
Antoni ripped Krugman for once again deceiving his readers. “If that’s the kind of scholarship emanating from a Nobel Laureate, then the award is more a marker of hubris and arrogance than achievement.” Krugman chalking up Americans’ discontent with Biden’s decrepit economy to partisan politics is typical for the guy who spent the inflation crisis trying to brainwash readers into believing the price squeezes were “transitory.”
