Re: Will the issues you care about be priorities for a Trump-family run RNC?

Not that I care much, but no leading candidate has been fined 4544 million dollars in a summary judgement that he did not have an ability to even mount a defense. No one in history has been charged as he has. I wonder of the list Jazman gave in the report is really all that different from the stand...

Re: Will the issues you care about be priorities for a Trump-family run RNC?

But I find it interesting that there isn't some level of outrage or concern among you about things like this... So you are outraged that not everyone is outraged? :) It's not a good thing, obviously. But it's what happens in politics. It's barely even surprising, let alone outrageous. It's a great ...

Re: Will the issues you care about be priorities for a Trump-family run RNC?

I know the op's general question is an uncomfortable question, especially for some of you, who from my observations, do at some levels believe that electing more Republicans (most of who claim Christianity directly or Christian values or nearly so); is a path or element to national renewal. But I fi...

Re: Will the issues you care about be priorities for a Trump-family run RNC?

.. But if I was a Republican [Dem] I'd be upset by recent events and the direction of the party. .. MANY lib voters are upset and understandably so. Not only has this term been a disaster, nothing promising on the horizon. It shouldn’t be close. Due to unbalanced weight on the left, it appears clos...

Re: Will the issues you care about be priorities for a Trump-family run RNC?

I'm curious how some may feel about the further Trumpification of the GOP's national leadership... How will your priority issues or how will the red team win close, down-ballet races if dear leader gets most or all the attention and money? The term "dear leader" is often used in reference...

Re: State of the Union Addresses

Do you think it's always been this way, or has it devolved? - at least in our lifetimes (and that limited perspective). I don't know if I've ever watched a full one recently and nor have I watched or listened to older ones before my life time.(40-50+ yrs) I haven't watched enough of these to really...

Re: State of the Union Addresses

I generally avoid the State of the Union. Most of the time, it's some version of a campaign speech, especially during an election year. I can't think of the last time that a speech was unifying or transcendened the moment. Do you think it's always been this way, or has it devolved? - at least in ou...

Re: State of the Union Addresses

Grace: So why is it dehumanizing illegal immigrants as just that, "illegal immigrants". Obvious+blatant political posturing. As DanZ spoke to above, exploiting SOTU for CAMPAIGNING, dividing, not uniting. Republicans do this... the former president did this in his rants (official or other...

Re: Gaza's Irrational Hatred

Most countries in the middle east had substantial Jewish populations going back centuries or millennia. Most Jews were forced out due to overt actions by Arab/Muslim governments in the 1940s and 1950s or just the fact that it was no longer safe for them to remain living within majority Muslim popul...
