This was why Nikki Haley said she was voting for Trump. Read just how wrong she gets it "her priorities are supporting a president who would back America’s allies and hold its enemies accountable, who would secure the border, support “capitalism and freedom,” and who would lower the national debt.

One translation. The "good old white farmers" who never get impacted by ICE are losing their workforce. Just yesterday, a poultry processing plant in Texas was shut down and had no workers. The "good old white farmers" there don't have a plant to sell to now.

Worse yet, he's never had any moral grounding, real knowledge, or the needed temperament for the job. In his prime decades ago, he used to call and pretend to be someone else to brag on himself and lie about his financial status. That isn't someone well suited for age-related acuity problems.

I see. Yes, that makes sense. It's such a frustrating scenario we find ourselves in because things that were previously unthinkable, like January 6th and the requisite pardons, have become reality so often under Trump. It's hard to make sense of at times. The man is America's worst nightmare.

Trump never intended to "really" run for President. Cohen says it was a publicity stunt that took off by accident in 2016. Russia didn't know he'd win, but it's plausible that they ransacked his past and found something to hold against him afterwards. They're getting serious mileage from him.

It would be impossible for me to respect your opinion more, Tom. You're my top follow and I'm inclined to agree with you here. That said, I don't think we can totally rule out that Trump is compromised somehow. His character is abysmal. What it might be, if anything, is anyone's guess.

Jesus was a humanist Jew who had no idea that a cult of human sacrifice would later be invented based loosely on his life. If he was actually hiding in some cosmic hideaway and watching with indifference while the worst humans on Earth grift, harm and abuse others in his name, he'd be complicit.

The Dems had their share of those types in the past. The Dixiecrats started trickling into the GOP starting around 1965. They were steadily streaming into the GOP by the 70s and 80s. The floodgates opened in 2016, and the rest came in under Trump.

As a resident of the rural South, can confirm. I knew back in the 80s that some form of what we now call MAGA would eventually happen. I vividly recall looking around back in high school and thinking "when it's my generation's time to be in charge, we're screwed." Blown educations were the norm.
