RE: Jack Smith and the classified documents case. Smith made the right move to "wind down" the cases. The logic is as follows: 1. By voluntarily winding down before Trump's second term, Smith removes Trump's ability to "Fire Jack Smith!!!", a punitive personal victory Trump has broadcasted countless times. 2. Secondly, and most importantly, there is nothing to prevent the Special Counsel from refiling charges after Trump leaves office. The case hasn't gone to trial, so there would be no double jeopardy if a future trial commenced, thus there are no constitutional reasons why the case couldn't be resumed in the future. 3. It respects the convention of not bringing charges against a sitting president.

Trump is whoever you want him to be. He's a shapeshifter, a cult of personality. Remember MAGA dwells in an alternative facts multiverse.

Actually I wasn't dissing him considering he's one of the greatest actor / comedians of all time.

Walz is every grandpa from an 80s movie, which I think plays well. John Candy would be proud.

Trump's interview at the National Association of Black Journalists...wow. Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse.

In that clip Trump repeatedly says "we're going to fix it so good you won't have to vote again"; I think we all know what that means. https://www.project2025.org/

I hope you're not calling me sexist or racist because the candidate I tend to favor just happens to be a white male, rather than a black woman. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that you didn't mean it that way.

All good points. However when the President meets with the aliens, Kelly can say he's left Earth, so he may carry some extra credibility with them. Other than that I do think the points you made about being a successful trial lawyer will bode well for Kamala. She's up against a criminal after all.

I'd point to Kelly's career as an aviator and astronaut. He's a combat veteran and was commander of the Discovery space shuttle. To me the skills, training, mental and physical discipline that's required to excel in those two roles amount to more than any legal training ever could.

I'm no fan of identity politics, personally. I think you should look at the candidates qualifications and judge them based on that. Man, woman, white, black - what are the accomplishments? That's what matters.

Yeah, Mark Kelly should be President, let's be honest.

My prediction was based on the polling data. The American people knew what they saw and they didn't like it. What's interesting is I think we'll see an open convention. Everyone throwing their hat into the ring. What's this, actual democracy happening again? Spectacular.

This was the only logical outcome after that disastrous debate performance, as I deduced weeks ago. It was only a mater of time.

Alright, here we go. Biden finally made the announcement to step down. We have a good chance of beating Trump now. Hooray.

100%, this is my take. The guy was a registered Republican with very little social media presence. According to classmates he was bullied relentlessly throughout high school, and then got into firearms and other weaponry online as he continued to self-isolate. I do think he was attempting get Trump though, for whatever reason. Fame, notoriety, some belief that was festering that he didn't articulate. Perhaps it was to strike back at the type of people who had mistreated him in that small town for so long. No manifestos or screed found yet, and I doubt they will be found. But all in all, it's essentially just another mass shooting in America, one that happened to be in a more publicized setting, thus meaning has been placed upon his actions which might not have truly been there.
