And how much did the protest / riots cost? I mean you told us what the parade costs? How much for police overtime? I think police unions may be the biggest fan of protests.

I guess you got what you wanted, injured cops in the peaceful protest. www.yahoo.com/news/officer...

Nazi twitter? Yeah, you're a perfectly rational person.

Sure, them and Isreal should fight to the last man. Then, when Iran is gone, the largest state sponsor of terrorism will be gone, and maybe there will be a few years of peace in the area, Inshalla.

No one is above the law, and he had no right to create a disturbance.

No one is above the law, not senators and not rioters. And Trump was wrong to pardon the J6 people, but that's what happens when we lose elections.

Jan 6 was a horrible riot and the rioters were tracked down across the country for 4 years in one of FBI's largest operations ever, as they should have been. Now, treat all lawbreakers the same. People should not be allowed to attack police officers and guard scot free.

40 were arrested when 4000 broke the law. and, I know, its not a riot, its a mostly peaceful protest with some violence, arson, attacks on police, etc.

She refused police commands during a riot. FAFO. All she had to do was turn around and walk away.

I think you are confusing gaslighting with lit gasoline, the second being in abundance.

millions of dollars of cars burning on the street, cops under violent, potentially lethal attack (cinderblocks thrown from a bridge) breach of a federal law enforcement center (insurrection?) public roads under assault, etc. Yep, time for some law and order.

Ha. So facts that go against the narrative just never happened? "Well, I didn't read about it on DailyKos, so, it didn't happen. It was all flowers and songs and flag waving."

Windows broken in LAPD HQ. Cops injured as cinderblocks dropped from overpass onto police cars. Rocks hit federal agents. Millions of dollars of cars burned. ICE facilities broken into, guards attacked. Sounds like a riot.

Or, the much more complicated answer . . . a dumbass who thinks communism could be a good idea.

I actually agree with tariffs on China, I think we should have free trade among the Americas. Everything that is made in China and Asia could be built in countries much closer and much friendlier to us. It would help modernize those countries too.

I think that's all true, but everything else being equal, I would rather buy our aluminum from Canada than from China. Their human rights record is pretty terrible.

All of the federal cops work for Trump, and technically so does the military. That leaves armed revolution, and I'm not sure that's a good idea for democrats.

She actively tried to stop a federal agent from doing their duty. If she was a republican, we would be calling her a traitor and for life in prison.

Btw, assuming all you said is true (for a moment) look at the map I posted. The arrows are shifting right everywhere. 4% less black men voted for Kamala than voted for white Joe Biden! Did the black men become racist too???
comment in response to

No, I remember seeing black men at school board meetings not wanting porn in their kids libraries or boys in their daughter's sports or locker rooms.

OK, you start with an attack rather than an argument, but anyway. I'm guessing you are a lawyer based on your user name and probably know this better than me, but is there a line in the Constitution that says that each federal judge can issue nationwide injunctions?
comment in response to
post
Yeah, but democrats won a lot of elections in the last 40 years. More non-white are voting than ever. Did whites suddenly become more racist than they were 10 years ago? Or did Dems do things that caused their own supporters to sit on the couch? If the later, what were those things?

So, the 2029 Dem President gets hit with 100 national injunctions from one judge, you have no problems with than, no need to put any limits on national injunctions?

You're right Glory, things are fine, everything is fine. No need to examine or change anything.
comment in response to

Before you answer, pretend that its not happening to trump, but that one MAGA judge issues 100 nationwide injunctions against the next democrat president.
comment in response to
post
This issue is in your answer. Let's guess that there are 200 federal judges, maybe 199 believe an action is constitutional, but 1 doesn't. Activist lawyers (of both parties) know who is on their side, why should that one judge get to shut down a president in all 50 states?
comment in response to
post
Just the opposite. We (the dem party_ lied to the average voter many times in a row - Covid vac, trans issues, free trade, green power, Biden's health. For some of these, like trans issues and biden's health, anybody with two eyes could see the truth, but the party kept lying. Lost credibility!
comment in response to
post
You're right, it was. And yet a majority of voters hated our party and platform so badly that they thumped us at the polls. How do we do better? By adjusting our platform or screaming "Orange man bad!" We know OMB, but how do we (the party) get seen as worse by a majority?
comment in response to

And you have no more understanding of the average voter than Kamala did then.
comment in response to

I think that a judge should only have authority over his jurisdiction. Imagine if we take the WH back in 29. Should one MAGA judge have the raw power to issue 100 injunctions, nationwide, against everything the new admin does?
comment in response to
post
What is the constitutional basis that a single judge in a single jurisdiction can injoin and entire country? I mean, a Supreme Court decision covers the country, but a single judge?

Here is the ultimate question - If glory-b was on the View as the Dem candidate last year, and they asked you "What would you do different than Biden?" What is your answer?
comment in response to

So here is the problem with the excuse making in the party - it doesn't help to win. The Voting Rights Act as an excuse? Where black people being pushed out of poll lines? Here is the ultimate question: If you were the candidate last week, and on The View, how would you have answered the ?
comment in response to
post
OK, so we, as the party base, can wait for the supreme court to fix the voting rights act . . . IDK maybe 20 years . . .or we can figure out how to win in todays reality. Seems like a simple choice that people argue hard to avoid.

No one is above the law. That's why the FBI raided Trump. We can't change that now.

Look at trump Trump TRUMP! He's a monster! Yeah, let's just yell that in '28. Maybe we will win this time. (I know that is a shitty sounding reply, but we got to get past just hating Trump and have a sellable strategy that isn't "Vote for me, you bunch of horrible racist sexist bastards)

by creating a platform of simple down-to-earth economic issues and at the local level, quality of life issues. Good roads, safe streets (defund the police was a terrible slogan). They want safety and security in their old age. Decent healthcare and decent pay. Things Clinton and Obama ran on.
comment in response to

Well, I think we reached them in the past. Store workers, factory workers, construction workers, all used to vote overwhelmingly democratic. So, first, I think we need to protect our credibility by not making a political platform out of easily falsifiable issues, and second ->
comment in response to

But we won that election. Without a doubt there were racist then and racist now, but there aren't enough racist to win elections. But if we run candidates who are clearly aging and try to tell people, "Nothing to see here" or ones who can barely make a coherent point, then, guess what, we lose.

Ad hominem attacks didn't work against Trump. They wont stop Vance either. It wasn't enough to stop trump or to get people off the couch for Kamala. So, rather than writing of 1/2 to 2/3 of American, maybe we should offer them a sensible plan of action?
