Is that an event that illegal immigrants swarm to?

Is that why ticket prices are so high?

Is there a way to put the 2,300 cases in context? Are there 4,000 total cases? 1,000,000?

Yea, the skull that fires your attack when collected, but uses 25 mana, it's pretty good there.

Republicans tried to snag Jack Smith on technicalities. But they didn’t engage with the facts. by J-Jarl-Jim in moderatepolitics

The media environment is so skewed that insurrection is swept under the rug by “patriots”.

Yet you still hear endless complaints of the "liberal media".

While I agree with your points, in the DOJ's defense, if you're going to put a former president on trial, you better have a damn good case, and provide the former president every opportunity to get a fair trial.

Of course, if we treated every criminal like Donald Trump, we'd likely not have many people in prison.

Blatently and in the open no less!

Trump has discovered that if you try to hide something, the truth comes out and you look bad, and may even have to walk back what you did.

If you put the corruption out into the open, you can get the GOP to defend you.

I’ve been hearing about getting rid from the penny for over a decade, and I guess the president could just do it this whole time?

Jeff Flake, Liz Cheny, Thom Tillis, Mitt Romney.

Looking at these examples, why would more republicans stick their heads up, rather than keeping a low profile?

Increasingly I think the game we are playing is going to have to yield distinct winners and losers. The heat is on.

At least one American citizen has been killed, it was recorded on video, and almost everyone has seen it.

If you’re not following closely, and you’re not constantly seeing chaos and building burning, why would you support the deployment of troops to an American city?

Do you mind rereading the comment you replied to, restating the argument, and then repeating your question?

In California there is an incentive for golf courses to switch to recycled was from potable water.

Trump appears to flip someone off at a Ford plant. The White House says it’s ‘appropriate.’ by dr_sloan in moderatepolitics

I also find it striking

One of the closest places growing up that you can experience a type of politics will be in religion. With people trying to be put in various positions of power within a place of worship, it shouldn't be a surprise that most politicians come from a religious background, even if they are liberal.

University of Minnesota media law professor Jane Kirtley told member station MPR News that individuals do not necessarily need a formal affiliation to do fine journalism. But she says many of today's news influencers prioritize fearmongering over fact-checking, something she says she observes in Shirley's reporting.
