What I don’t respect is dismissing or flat out denying that Trump tried to subvert the will of the people for his own gain, without any evidence that his rhetoric or actions were justified. Trump was fulfilling the will of the people who voted for him. He was fighting, legally, until all options were expired. And I think it was in an official capacity for his job, thus... covered by immunity. We'll see. No evidence at all of a rigged election? Really? It was the most FUBAR election of my lifetime. Long-standing State election laws were completely ignored. Ballots being mass mailed, unsolicited, to names on voter registration rolls that were woefully inaccurate. Ballots being accepted in unsupervised drop boxes, thus bypassing normal postmarks. Allowing people to register, en masse, WEEKS after legislative deadlines... up until just days before the election. Counting mail-in ballots that weren't signed, had no dates... in direct violation of State law. Abandoning required procedures for signature checks. Zuckerberg spending $350 MILLION with State election officials to increase DEMOCRAT turnout. Not to mention the over-the-top coordinated censorship of the Hunter Biden laptop that documented evidence of corruption, and.. at the very least, proved that Joe was lying when he said he knew NOTHING about Hunter's deals and was never involved. Many of the things listed above are now explicitly illegal now in many states, thanks to new laws and constitutional amendments. Heck, in Delaware, their courts have ruled the entire process used in 2020 violated their constitution. It will be a LITTLE harder to cheat, in the same way. But I'm sure that won't keep Dems from doing whatever they have to do. They have convinced themselves that Trump is so uniquely horrible, ANYTHING they have to do to stop him is morally justified. That's how far they've gone.

thanks so much for the meaningful contribution Hen. It’s so appreciated at a time when a 71 yr-old Great Grandmother is convicted of multiple charges for walking through an open door on Jan 6, praying inside our Capitol, and then leaving…. Without ever hurting anyone or anything. Biden’s DOJ wants to put her in jail for a year. I’m sure you must be glad. What a THREAT she was to our great democracy. But, you keep on posting your Trumpy FB posts, and feel smug.

I don’t see how the charges are invented. Of course you don't, you're a hyper-partisan. Challenging election results is NOT a crime. NO President, EVER, has been charged with keeping documents, even though practically EVERY President has done it. Your hero, James Comey, set the standard: "No reasonable prosecutor would bring charges"... Of course, that wasn't even against a former President. Just a negligent Secretary of State. It's even MORE unreasonable now. The timing of charges is not inconsistent with other white collar crimes, which was an average of 452 days in 2022. Thanks for proving my point. These supposed election 'crimes' and documents cases were committed in Jan 2021, or even December 2020. ON AVERAGE, they should have been charging Trump in April of 2022. Waiting until July of 2023 is DOUBLE the average. The other charges, like the NEVER BEFORE prosecuted horrific crime of providing optimistic real estate property evaluations to a lender (who is responsible to do their OWN evaluation) all happened many years ago. Those cases should never have been brought. They had all the evidence more than 2 years ago. They waited, just for the election. You'd have to be a complete idiot to not understand what's going on here. But, maybe you are? I never thought so. Maybe, I was wrong. Donald Trump said yes, he would abuse power as retribution against (someone). Your response is to defend this, again blaming democrats? You are fine with a dictator as long as he’s on “your side”? I don't like the "new norm" of Presidents "dictating" by Exec Order when EITHER side does it. It's been increasing for decades. I don't know how to stop it. The SCOTUS has over-ruled Biden MANY times. THAT doesn't stop him. For sure, I don't expect Republicans to just stop playing the game right when Democrats have everything going their way. Is Donald on your side? Did he actually accomplish anything he said he would LOL Oh yes. Trump got MANY things done, despite being opposed by BOTH parties in his first two years. That's why they hate him so much. Congrats though..... once again, you've suckered me into debating with you like you're a serious person. I know better. I guess, I'm just an eternal optimist. You can support the party that wants to BAN gasoline powered cars by 2030. I'll take the other team. But, I have better things to do that try to convince you of anything.

The Democrats today are the single biggest threat to our Democracy. They are destroying ALL norms with this abuse of the justice system to try to keep Trump from running. If I'm going to vote to "Save Democracy", it will be to get rid of THEM. This is my favorite part about the TDS. Trump commits a litany of crimes, but it is somehow the democrats fault? Don’t Blame Trump for falsifying business records, holding onto classified documents, inciting an insurrection, or conspiring to overturn an election. The Democrats are to blame! There is a reason why Trump is trying to claim immunity. Imagine a country where the president is immune from criminal activities, and those who accuse him of crime are just abusing the justice system. You’re literally advocating for a dictatorship, which Trump has advocated for too. You really have no clue if you think ANY of these charges would have been brought against ANY other person at ANY other time. Please tell me, you're not that clue-less, or hyper-partisan? ALL of these charges are invented and timed purely for political purpose. Anyone with a non-washed brain knows that. Any of these charges could have been brought in the past 3 years if the Dems were truly interested in Justice. The only one that has the tiniest chance of validity is the classified documents case. And that one is obviously politically driven when compared to what Hillary and Joe did, which was WORSE, and done when they were not President, thus having ZERO claim of justification. No court has ever ruled on whether a President has to comply with the edicts of Congress when it comes to documents. Trump had every right to hold on to them and seek relief in the court system. The FBI, with coordination from the Biden WH, didn't want to wait for a court review. "Immunity" has been a long-standing practice for Presidents, when it comes to the duties of their office, not for crimes. There is considerable, partisan debate about whether or not Trump committed any crime as he contested election results. Results that 80+% of Republicans disbelieved. He challenged them LEGALLY, with lawyers and Congress members, NOT with armed combatants. In the end, there WAS a peaceful transition of power. Perhaps you've forgotten it? There was far more violence on inauguration day when Trump took office than there was when Biden was sworn in. The ingrained, embedded DEEP STATE bureaucrats in DC hate Trump, because he is a threat to their never-ending gravy train. Which is a bit irrational since... he did very little to upset them in his first term. They were successful at keeping him pre-occupied with fake "Russia-collusion" charges and bogus impeachments. They definitely fear what he might do... TO THEM... in a second term. This time, their fear is probably justified. He knows now, who they are and what they've done to him. Trump was not dictator in his first 4 years, and he won't be in the next 4. Except, yes... on Day 1, when he'll have to issue a slew of Executive Orders, undoing the edicts of the previous "dictator". That's how our broken government functions these days. Even when Trump tells the truth, YOU guys twist it as some sort of nefarious undertaking. It's really sad to see. This election is no longer about Trump, as a person... or his policies. It's about whether "We, the people.." are going to allow a runaway government monster to dictate who out choices are for leadership.

fair enough, Bevo, but your 90% perception might be based on what you've been taught at those trump apologist sites that will not report on his constant sleazy activity, pathological lying, hate and violence spreading rhetoric, incoherent ranting etc. No Hen. I hear things said on ABC/CBS/NBC/CNN/MSNBC etc... about things Trump did or said, and then I listen to what Trump ACTUALLY said, and it's seldom the same. You believe everything they say, even when confronted with direct evidence to the contrary because your hatred of Trump simply won't allow you to see it any other way. I have no great love for Trump, nor hatred. I know him exactly for what he is. It's not like he's a newcomer to anyone who's lived this this country for the past 40+ years. The Democrats today are the single biggest threat to our Democracy. They are destroying ALL norms with this abuse of the justice system to try to keep Trump from running. If I'm going to vote to "Save Democracy", it will be to get rid of THEM. I oppose virtually every policy coming from Biden's administration. It would be a betrayal of my soul to vote for them. Meanwhile, despite his warts and mean tweets, I support most of the policies Trump brought us. I just don't fall for the "Trump is HITLER" crap pushed by the left. It really surprises me that you do. But, to each his own, I guess. IYO, Bevo, is it pretty reasonable to question the intelligence level of an individual that would buy a Holy Bible from a con man that was out sleeping with a porn actress while his wife was home with a new baby ? There is plenty of dumbth on BOTH sides of the political divide.

Another city I should have mentioned - Bruges I’m Belgium, really enjoyed our visit there, especially if you like chocolate! We really enjoyed our two day in York, England. Some really cool history there. And, great gin!

You might be badly underestimating the number of folks that might check in now and then, Bevo......folks with an open mind, a value for truth and facts and a sense of humor. Wish you'd secede from the trump cult and join in. I'm in no cult Hen. And, I sure as hell don't see Trump as ANY kind of "deity". I simply make a rational decision between the best of two not very good options. It's not a difficult decision for me. Especially not when 90+% of the negative stories about Trump are utter nonsense.

I can definitely see what all the fuss is about with Kaitlan Clark. She dominates the players around her in a way I haven't seen in a long time. She's like a female version of Larry Bird.
Angel Reece, on the LSU side is dominant as well, but she doesn't have the range and passing ability that Kaitlan has. In her defense, she was playing with a seriously hurt ankle last night. It was a gutty performance on her part.
I was definitely rooting for Iowa. It's going to be a war if they play UCONN.

If you're not watching the Women's NCAA BB Final, you might want to turn it on. This is one helluva game.
I've been watching the Lady Horns... They played well, but lost to NC State in the Elite 8. I have to say, I haven't watched much women's BBall in recent years. It's a MUCH more entertaining game than it used to be. They run, and the shoot! Really well.
This game is highly entertaining.

See the Community Note, (which works pretty well BTW). That price is just for a 36 month lease. New Mach E’s are still selling at more than $45k. Which, was Trump’s point. The Chinese EV’s would be selling for half that price.
Trump even mentioned cars again, just AFTER the “bloodbath” comment. He made it clear what he was talking about.
But it doesn’t matter. People suffering from TDS will never let go of a “gotcha moment”, no matter how lame it is.

I’m sad for Houston. This is 2 years in a row they lost their best player to injury. Sucks they lost this way to Duke 😥 I can’t stand Duke. Now they’re saying they’re playing their best basketball. Well, they beat a 13 seed, a 12 seed, Houston without their first team All American for most of the game and next they get NC State who they’ve played a couple times already and a 10 seed. I hope NC State keeps their train rolling but something tells me the refs will make a few calls in Duke’s favor which will be the difference in the game. Duke is my Michigan and Notre Dame in basketball - hope they lose every game. Funny.. when I lived in Tx/La, I liked Duke. But since moving to Kentucky, I hate them too. Maybe, it's something in the (brown) water? Every Houstonian would LOVE to see a re-match with NC State in a game that means something. It's just brutal to see. Houston's offense just died when Snead went out. And their defense gave up several easy baskets too, before they righted themselves. Hard to know who to root for now. I guess, "ANYONE but UCON".
