    Interesting. Maybe he doesn't think they're a real team. Or, better yet, he'll accidentally invite the Men's team.

    Trump won't lose Florida if DeSantis has anything to say about it.

    It's the Republican's way of saying, "Fuck you. We didn't want this. Here's a poll tax." Honestly, it's just more voter suppression. The GOP knows if former felons voted, that's more than a million votes up for grabs for the Democrats.

    If I'm being honest I also have to say I've seen great acts of kindness from these Trump supporters, in the last 24-30 months.
    At times it's humbled me.
    But I don't know what the heck they're watching.
    They're being fed Fox news because it's all they choose to eat. They will never avail themselves to the big picture.

    National politics seldom makes a super major impact on people's lives (the fight to save the ACA shows how differently people behave when they think it does). So it's not surprising many choose to perceive it as an engrossing melodrama in which emotional release is all that matters. That's Fox 24/7.

    I am not dense.

    I am saying the problem is larger than Trump - frankly beyond a man of his...ability...and it didn't get that way because of him. And when he's no longer there, it will still be bad, perhaps even worse, because the US could have hundreds of thousands of refugee claims on its hands without much of any way of processing them in any kind of timeframe...which will either lead to the same kind of humanitarian crisis, or something akin to open borders.

    More importantly, it is ridiculous that President Trump's defenders think it is valid to claim it is somehow okay because President Obama did something similar. He campaigned on changing things from the previous administration. He and the Republicans in Congress have made it their mission to undo as much of what was done during the Obama administration as possible. Even if they only continued exactly what was going on before he took office, that's no excuse at all.

    What you are saying is that yet again, you will try to normalize just about anything done by conservatives.
