So, one Democrat out of 3,500+ elected Democrats at the state and local levels? Doesn’t seem like an Earth-shaker. On the other hand, all the Republicans who left the party, including Javadi of Oregon and Kiley of California, plus the wave of Republicans retiring because they know staying n the party is an election loser for them, far outstrips the elected officials leaving the Democratic (with an “ic”) Party.

OK, I lied—I'll say one more thing about ⬆️⬆️⬆️: You know how we have long said here that gas prices aren't the president's fault, whether it's Biden, Trump, or whoever? Well, that's definitely not true in this case. This is pure, uncut Trump.

'Nuff said.

I have found there is some front-loading in March-April, some backing off in September, and fairly even distribution May through August.

Apparently. All these responses share one thing in common: they are flung at you anytime they are unable to defend the actual issue being discussed. Once I understood that, it was actually comforting to know that they know they've been beaten, and all they're trying to do is trigger me and follow them down that hole, leaving behind the issue they can't defend. It's Kremlin 101 ****.

“Go touch some grass” is the new fashionable red hat distraction tactic designed to cover the fact that they can’t defend the thing you’ve cornered them on. The irony is that its use merely serves to highlight the distraction nature of the tactic.

Iran is probably the safest topic Rogan could be lost on. I sense that’s the one topic that most red hats part with Trump on. Wake me when Trump loses Rogan on vaccines.

Kakistocracy run amok.

Nothing more intoxicating to the sociopathic psychopath than the power of life and death over millions.

Slotkin is a hammer, so she is conditioned to hit the nail.

Two weeks and two days. Don’t make it any longer than it has to be. 😉

I was there! Great plays by both sides, including two right field assists and two diving Bobby Witt infield assists.

He’s having a good spring, so he could win the #5 spot.

It didn’t make sense that Bari Minutes would release the kind of information taht would implicate the Trump administration until I read the report on the website and they determine the weapon was bought in … drum roll, please … 2024! If they’d been bought in 2025, Bari would never, ever, ever have released this information. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/us-military-tested-device-that-may-be-tied-to-havana-syndrome-60-minutes-transcript/

Well, some human brains do, anyway … 😉

George Straight would appreciate this part of the thread.

This is absolutely perfect, and perfectly true. I would further stipulate that there is nothing red hats love more than when rich people come off as not smart. That’s the coolest thing in the world to them, because it is essentially a rebuke to smart people.

I could be wrong.

I can think of one guy here who might.

I would bet that if Drew Anderson proves he is much better than Verlander, Hinch and Harris would make him the #5, rather than Verlander for primarily legacy reasons.

Verlander? Or is he written into the rotation in pen no matter who does what, because Verlander?

Maybe Trump is trying to drive Iran out of the market so the US can gain a greater share of it and achieve greater pricing control? I’m not saying anything like that would work, I’m just saying that might be his thinking, and as we all know, no amount of expertise could ever dissuade him from his own assessment of the situation.

If he were in The Big Club, he would have gotten a cabinet post instead of a criminal conviction.

You misspelled number five.

I don’t think there is much chance for that. I think the far bigger danger for Skubal than going bad is getting hurt.
