The cop who went for the wellness check may have been fooled bc he was in a security looking car. She would likely have been shot if she confronted the guy. But don’t get how cops at fatal shooting site let the guy get away on foot out back door.

This is so outrageously wrong it should be condemned by senate (of won’t be). Lee tried to blame Walz, called this right wing assassin a Marxist. Facts SHOULD lead to abject apology but these guys never apologize bc they can never be wrong. They put the ultra right in righteous.

MAGA considers empathy to be probably the biggest failing and worst character flaw of humanity. It’s why they stop watching A Christmas Carol as soon as Scrooge falls asleep, why they root for Mr. Potter, Gordon Gekko, Gargamel, Shredder, Boris+Natasha, and Snidely Whiplash.

Still, shockingly under covered. Has he EVER been pressed on this. For that matter, has he EVER been questioned at all about his hugely controversial tenure?

100% true. All this analysis of Trump is over complicated. It’s always simple; how can I look like a winner? His psychological state demands it. If there’s a chance it will go bad he wants out. This looks like an easy one to take credit for. If it goes wrong? Bibi’s fault.

The problem w pointing all these cases of extra-legal barring on legit oversight by members of Congress is it compels the question: what are they doing to FIGHT this patent illegality?

There is no element of strategic thinking in his rote two weeks dodge. It’s just a way to get past a moment w/out assuming any responsibility, hoping it all goes away. Closest comparison I can think of: Wimpy telling Popeye: “I will gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today.”

What are we doing? How is this allowed to just slide by? Does Repub party really care so little abt our country that they ignore screaming alarms and blood red flags? This guy has a massively blank, ludicrously questionable resume.

Ppl have never understood how psychologically sick this man is. He has power back, despite disqualifying events like attack on Capitol, but his psyche can’t LIVE w having LOST a contest. A zillion investigations could certify the facts; he’d still never accept it. It’s an illness

Such a silly comparison. Something’s either right or wrong irrespective of what about-ism. If the defense is, well goons and thugs do it, why can we? You’ve admitted the action is indefensible.

He’s been bad in majors but those are some kind of Triple A stats. He’s also the same age as Schmidt so maybe he’s found something.

It’s not that complicated. Trump is not that complicated. If there’s a show going on that’s getting great reviews and great ratings he wants/needs to be the star of it.

There will be the usual howls of fake news and NYT reporting lies, even tho this is a whistle blower on the record. But the reality is no fair-minded person of intelligence thinks this is something they would not do. Rather it is totally consistent w what they do.

Strong interview by Kaitlan. Unflappable, citing factual report v blind acceptance of rhetoric. Bomb damage in war often eludes 1st impression. We bombed Nazi ball bearings factories to rubble.(my Dad participated.) They were not “obliterated.” Nazis had them up+running w/in wks.

Great month for sure. But kind of surprising it’s a team record. Maybe the walks are especially high, but surely others have the 10/20.

That and the back to back no hitters are the only FEASIBLE ones that could be broken and the no hitters are passing into impossiblity bc of pitch counts. No one has really come close to DiMag ( Rose needed TWELVE more game to tie), but it is at least possible.

Would you say same abt your President if you saw scores that got him into Fordham? Whose grades were buried under threat of onerous law suit if made public? Would they call into question for you all his “accomplishments?” Probably not bc he has that one advantage she can’t match.
