“A robber baron and a venture capitalist trying to say they understand who we are ... they do not know who we are.”
Gov Walz has been a favorite of mine for a while. Even though he at best might be VP, just contrast this individual with Trump in terms of coherence, intelligence, credibility, presidential presence, positivity, etc. The USA deserves a president and vice-president who are sharp, positive, and...

There is a twisted irony in saying, as the majority does, that the person charged with “tak[ing] Care that the laws be faithfully executed” can break them with impunity. The Ruling This case originated from a request late in 2023 by Jack Smith for the SCotUS to preemptively rule on the then...

“He [Trump] is a con-artist. Friends do not let friends vote for a con-artist.”
