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...

I think Mike Johnson will get it promptly and easily. "Stop the Federal Cases"

I spend 3 hours building spreadsheets on the House races county by county. Several were too difficult to be practical but I modelled most of them (and will keep the file for next time, this time). I am working from NBC data. There are a lot of races that I think they haven't called just...

Those jerks. So I already delineated my fallback position above. These are people that you see overwhelmingly voting for Biden, so you think they are progressives, but this situation demonstrates something else. They are people whose by-far-most important issue is how the President treats...

His attorneys had already acknowledged that a lot of the stuff in the indictment was not official duties. The indictment was refreshed with almost everything intact and was going forward. He will squelch that one, but he'll be guilty again by the time he leaves office.

So Biden should say tomorrow that he rounded up and deported all the ones that came during his administration and only the ones that came during Trump's term are left.

If you want a silver lining, he can only stop the investigations of his past crimes and if you know know Donald Trump like I do, you know he is going to keep doing crimes.

He will have a small majority in the Senate and we don't know yet on the House, but likely close to the same. I don't think he can control this House well enough to pass a lot of legislation and ACA is difficult. It's been the law a long time now. A lot of constituents like it. No. This is...

It is just where things get complicated. There is always a temptation toward thinking we can look at who someone votes for and tell who they are, but it just isn't the truth. It is much more reliable to look who they are (lots more than 2 kinds of people) and figure out who they would vote...

He actually went to court to get it removed and was denied because it was too late. They have to print those things up.

Yeah. As I already said, I am certain that Trump won't even try. It's just an interesting historical parallel.

Republicans are going to be saying that sexism isn't why they voted for Trump as if sexism wasn't one of the reasons they voted for him over Biden too.

Louis Napoleon, nephew of Napoleon Bonaparte, rallied some men in 1836 and attempted to take over the government of France. He was arrested and exiled and kept getting more popular afterward. He just came back in 1840 and tried again. They arrested him and put him in prison. He disguised...

I've written at length on the subject on this forum. Trump was the dad-gum President of the United States for 4 years and he barely used his power because he doesn't care about power. He only cares about status. He stirred out of bed at 9 or 10, got on his big boy pants and went to the Oval...
