Free elections is a slogan. It is hard to define the edges. If there has been intentional gerrymandering to suppress the other party, is the election free? If even a single legitimate voter's registration was dropped in a supposed-effort to stop fraud, was the election free? I think the...

He is smart not to sign that if he can avoid it.

I'm sorry I brought it up.

Yeah. The very most important thing is the Republicans succeeded enough at telling people the economy was the most important issue and that's pretty easy to do when there's been inflation or unemployment. Harris needed to be successful enough at selling something else as being more important...

You cannot run for Vice President if you are not eligible to run for President. However long Trump survives after his Presidency, if he doesn't get disgraced, he's going to settle into the kingmaker role. Similar to what he's done the last 4 years. He'll send out his opinions and call up...

I remember being worried about DeSantis winning the primary, because he seemed to be Trump with more savvy and actual commitment. In the time since I haven't been sure about that savvy part. When I was watching the VP debate, I found a different Vance than I expected. I wouldn't vote for him...

It takes time to build cases and in this case it probably takes a bit to build the courage. Indictments came out over a year ago and it was hard to believe when analysts said they might not be done in time. It takes forever, especially if the client knows how to game the schedule. Some of his...

I am surprised that Trump shared a stage with Musk. And if he really does give him a big job, that'll surprise me too. Is there any dimension that matters to Trump where Musk doesn't exceed him? I think that'd be a problem for him somewhere along the way.

The story is a little different from the last 4 years when getting something done meant passing legislation that would be palatable to both parties. It was hard to get Freedom Caucus votes for that. For the next 2 years, at least, they'll have a shot at working on plenty of things that 218...

All of the House seats that NBC called during the night were consistent with my county model. NBC Calls: 200 Blue, 211 Red My Calls: 5 Blue, 7 Red ----> 205 - 218, which just edges GOP control 12 Seats to close to call lean 7 Blue, 5 Red ---------> My best guess is 212 - 223, a net gain of 2...

https://static.project2025.org/2025_MandateForLeadership_FULL.pdf It's from the Heritage Foundation. Of course. Project 2025 is their 9th time to do one of these. I'd wish them luck if I wanted them to have luck, which I don't. I did a Ctrl-F for Trump and it says 42, but I started counting...

And you only see what I put on Facebook.

Wonko, I've been reading you for 20 years, I think, and I will keep doing it. I think of you as an online friend and a capable foil that holds me accountable to think through the things that I say. I value that. But you spent the last 6 months at least telling me and everyone else that a...

I don't want to drill too far down on this question, because the reality is that it was just bravado. Trump wants voters to believe that he magically walks up to tables and shows both parties the perfect deal where everyone is happy. It is his mystique. My comment is taking his comment...

You are standing there like you dropped the mic, but it is still in your hand. I think I know the point you are trying to make, but you aren't getting it done. Remember when Mueller finished his investigation on Russian collusion after what seemed like forever, because we thought he was going...

He is approaching put up or shut up time. The only way to do it, probably is to drop a nuclear weapon on them.

But if you did, no one could really say "Shadewing is a human being" was your tagline.

The people who wrote it definitely hoped to use it. Political think tanks write up policy recommendations all the time. Trump hasn't written 900 pages in his entire life. Again, I am NOT saying he has no connection to it. I don't know. My involvement in this was a reply to someone saying...

Did you even read what I said?

It really doesn't because he consistently disavowed it. I don't know whether they'll get their hands on him. I don't know whether he'll try to do some of the stuff. A lot of the stuff is very hard to do. But it certainly isn't his campaign slogan when he consistently said he had nothing to...
