Guess they're just lazy people.

Not lazy people, just typical political operatives who will back a lazy narrative in order to get someone they don't like out of the White House.

I'm interested in hearing how you think Trump can destroy our system of government without being checked. Care to outline that?

And Hogan ain't winning Maryland.

If you believe in this sort of thing, polls show a dead heat. Hogan is extremely well liked, may be enough for him to win despite people just voting for the letter after the candidates name.

I know the poll is a dead heat, but it's the same reason Tester is going to end up losing in Montana. Maryland folks who like Hogan still want the Democrats to keep the majority in the Senate. Just like people in Montana who like Tester want Republicams to have a Senate majority.

I'd absolutely trade Scott for Hogan. That would be fantastic. But count of Scott winning and Hogan losing.

I'm hopeful he can't destroy it. But he is a clear threat to the operation of our government under the constitution.
We're you here on January 6th when he asked his own VP to illegally stop the peaceful transfer of power.
If he's back in the WH with the wide immunity the office seems to have been granted, I think he'd would do a lot of damage to the Justice Dept, and of course probably kill the investigations into his crimes.
That seems like a threat to me...and to a lot of people who weren't "political operatives."
Here's an example:

People who claim moral high ground and then dig their heels in so deep on one side of the political spectrum absolutely fascinate me.

Beat me to it! As for Trump being a convicted felon, I doubt that survives appeal.

What do you think of Sabo’s “street art” in and around Colfax in Aurora, CO?

And he wasn’t CONVICTED of that. No wonder our Legal system is in shambles.

Grabs popcorn…;)

Sabo is a Republican activist, so why would I care.

Looks like trump is trying hard to lose the pro-life vote.
