The Trump Card...

You are right and wrong. You are right to say the Democrats are afraid of Trump. So are a number of independents and Republicans. They have seen Trump in office and the results he generated. They are deeply troubled by the idea that Trump might hold that office again.

You are wrong to say Trump makes the Democrats look bad. A significant number of midterm elections were lost by Republicans this year, not because Trump made the Democrats look bad, but because Trump's endorsed candidates made the Democratic candidates look better than Trump's picks and the association with Trump they thereby gained.
Sure we have a great economy under Biden.....inflation not seen in over 40 years.
Not even Obama screwed up the economy.....at this point I would welcome Obama back over Biden.

Yes. I still struggle to understand what I call the great divide. I have highly intelligent and successful business friends in our community who look at the same facts I do and form the opposite opinion about Trump. And I expect they are as perplexed about my conclusions as I am about theirs.
And there is the true meaning of Trump derangement syndrome, regardless of the info you give his supporters, they still believe he is the best thing that has ever happened to this country....

If you believe the president has anything to do with the economy, I have a bridge to sell you.......

Inflation is being caused by the people at the bottom getting more money, the people at the top will always get theirs so prices will have to go up. In the end the people at the bottom will make more but that money will buy less than what they had before, and that is by design

The concentration of wealth continues.....

The policies set by the president determine how the economy runs.....screw with gas and oil and the prices of fuel go up or down....
Biden signed 4 executive orders hours after he took office one of them being the shut down of the pipeline the others being about the lease/permits to pump oil and natural gas out of the ground.... gas prices go up and he gos hat in hand to everyone else in the world to get oil....and pushes the electric cars.
The cost of living in the usa has gone up by $8,000 or more since Biden took over.....he will not get reelected.
Even Obama was not this stupid to mess with the taxpayer's wallet.

Trump and the House Speaker Train Wreck

Trump is not a central figure in the House speaker fight. The spotlight is properly on the House players themselves. Nevertheless, the following comes to mind.

1. Trump endorsed McCarthy for House Speaker. That Trump-endorsed candidate lost three elections today.

2. McCarthy sucked up to Trump and carried his water for a long time to get that endorsement. Today, when Trump's support was most needed by McCarthy, Trump stepped back from the fight and offered nothing more than "We'll see what happens."

3. There is trouble in Trump World. Trump supporters in the US House are divided on the speaker question and acrimony is growing. Seeds of party-destructive resentment are being sewn which will likely bear fruit in the future.

4. Trump is not a central figure in the House speaker fight. Once upon a time, he would have been. This is more evidence of his fading influence.

Inflation is caused when the government spends trillions of dollars and thinks it's got trillions more to spend....I mean it is just printed up as needed.

And Trump is just as guilty as Biden when it comes to that. By the way, you do know that when the government runs deficits they dont just print money right?

I mean we do print money continuously to replace worn out bills but we dont print money to pay the bills. Borrow yes, print no.

Explain that to the Democrats then because they sure do think our wallets are bottomless.

At present, there are 20 Republicans withholding their votes for Kevin McCarthy for Speaker of the House. And all of them have strongly supported Trump in the past. All say they still do.

It is reported today that Trump called all 20 of them to urge their support of McCarthy. None of them did so. Trump lobbied 20 Republicans and did not change even one vote.

More evidence of Trump's declining influence in the Republican Party.

(P.S. danthewolf00, this is the place where you jump in to say something negative about the Democrats).

Personally I would love to see jim Jordan or Matt gaetz as speaker both would rock the Democrat bs that was called the January 6th committee....
2 years and I heard something about the guy that planted those IED on January 6th on the news.
The January 6th committee was only after trump...you have people that are still in the dc jail that have not gone to trial or seen a lawyer in 2 years....where is their right to a speedy trial?
What about bail? Or medical attention?
We are not talking about a Mexican jail either.

Maybe you haven't heard. The Jan 6 Committee has completed its work. Its report has been issued. The evidence it developed has been given to the justice department. The criminal referrals have been made. The Committee members are no longer meeting. I don't know if the Committee has been officially dissolved yet but the will come soon if it has not.

There is nothing to be undone. The Committee's purpose was partly to assemble all the pieces into a documentary record for the American people and for history. That has been done and there is no way to undo it, just as there is no way to unwrite a book that has been published and distributed.

How exactly would a Speaker Jordan or Speaker Gaetz "rock" what the Jan 6 Committee did?

As the news is dominated by the US House speaker election drama, the DOJ special prosecutor, three grand juries and some state prosecutors continue their work, and presidential candidate Trump contunues his bunker at Mar-a-Lago "strategy." His candidacy is barely mentioned any more. I expect to see one or more indictments in the near future.

The January 6th committee was so one sided in its pursuit of trump and nothing but trump that it is a joke.....they choose to not investigate Pelosi or the captain of the Capitol hill police....security was more lackluster than you would find at any concert....the response afterwards is what should have been in place before the rally..

Also,investigate the unarmed protester Ashli Babbitt killing and the clubbing of an unconscious protester Roseanne Boyland. I thought we learned from the Kent State shootings that we don’t just blast away at protesters?

Judge Orders Trump to Face NY (James) Lawsuit. Trial Set for October.

"New York judge on Friday said former US President Donald Trump must face a lawsuit by the state's attorney general accusing him of fraudulently overvaluing his namesake real estate company's assets and his own net worth.

"Attorney General Letitia James had sued Trump, his adult children Donald Jr., Eric and Ivanka and the Trump Organization last September over an alleged scheme to inflate Trump's assets by billions of dollars through a decade of lies to banks and insurers, in what she called a "staggering" fraud."
