I bet almost no one reading this, and a very small percentage of the students protesting now, even know who Saul Alinsky is. Or...who he WAS, I guess. I know sometimes a lot of these "movements" are attributed to him, but most of the participants don't have the slightest clue who he even is.

You are correct.

However, the puppet masters know exactly who he is, and that's where the danger lies.

I'l probably regret asking this, but who are these puppet masters? I don't really look at this and see any evidence of anyone who's capable of mastering much of anything.

Oh dear gawd. Do you realize what you’ve done?

George Soros - funds campaigns for DAs who are soft on crime, DEI programs, BLM, Antifa, recent pro-Hamas protests, etc., etc.. In other words, every crazy left wing notion can trace it's roots back to this guy.

Over the weekend President Biden once again asserted that he had been arrested during a Civil Rights protest. He also claimed that he was arrested in South Africa when he was a senator. Both claims have been completely debunked. Is he losing his mind or is he a liar?

We are so screwed

I would say the truth lies somewhere in the middle.

Think I’d rather take a liar at this point

Any ideas on who Trump's VP candidate will be??

I'm not an expert on constitutional law, but I know enough to get by. The way I understand it is this..

-The Republican Party no longer has the option of nominating someone other than Trump. The Convention is a formality. He is the nominee.

-He likely will be found guilty in his current trial, and while there is no guarantee he will go to prison if he is found guilty, it is at least possible that he will.

-Trump can still run for president even if he is in prison. And Trump would likely win, even if he is in prison.

Soooooo....THEN WHAT?????

In this particular case, he cannot pardon himself. I guess he could appeal to the Supreme Court that he must be given relief in order to not be in violation of his oath of office. Would he get it??

Or, in that situation, would the Vice President invoke the 25th Amendment, remove him from office, and basically become the President?? I'm GUESSING that's what would happen.

The chances of us being in this situation are greater than zero. It COULD happen. Prior to now this situation was unimaginable, but it could happen.

And, as another topic...

The current case in front of the Supreme Court about blanket presidential immunity, we can all at least agree that's complete nonsense, right?? I mean, with that logic, Biden could have Trump assassinated and claim presidential immunity. No one wants that. I know Trump wants that for himself, but NO ONE ELSE should want that!! How is this even a debate?? How has the SCOTUS not laughed this out of court yet??

Probably noem. She’s kinda nuts, and been sucking up to him for a few years now. Plus she is super attractive so of course like any warm blooded male, trump likes that.
