    Hitler was elected, later he fixed that. Trump is trying to do the same.

    I am against making DC a state for the very same reason the Founders were against it. If the city citizens want to make it a state, give the land back to Maryland and Virginia.

    https://washington.org/dc-informatio...ton-dc-history
    President George Washington chose the exact site along the Potomac and Anacostia Rivers, and the city was officially founded in 1790 after both Maryland and Virginia ceded land to this new “district,” to be distinct and distinguished from the rest of the states. To design the city, he appointed Pierre Charles L’Enfant, who presented a vision for a bold, modern city featuring grand boulevards (now the streets named for states) and ceremonial spaces reminiscent of another great world capital, L’Enfant’s native Paris. He planned a grid system, at which the center would be the Capitol building.


    As for Puerto Rico, cut them loose. Grant them independence and a heartfelt "Adios!"

    Hello Dutch Uncle,

    IMO, the fact Texas is even considered a swing state in this election is bad news for Trump. As it is, I think Texas will go to Trump, but Biden could take all of those northern tier states Trump took in 2016. There's also the matter of the Senate elections which could turn out badly for the Republicans and Trump alike.

    Democratic Senator Mark Kelly from Arizona is likely to be sworn in on January 3rd. And beside him will be several other Democrats if the polls are any indication.

    He told Xi he was working on getting more than two terms.

    What seemed outlandish before actually sounds reasonable. These ignorant cult members will allow him to do anything.

    When will he shut us up? When will I be sent to prison? Trump is a despot, a traitor, a dictator, a proven criminal.

    "Never in recent history have so many senior former U.S. officials publicly attacked the commander in chief they served, or the decisions he’s made, as the ranks lining up to say President Donald Trump put himself and his re-election ahead of the country, thereby threatening its security. "

    This is actually textbook gas lighting.

    In order to accept this I have to pretend Trump didn’t oversee *historical progress* in the Middle East; Getting NATO to ante up for the own defense; historical progress in Kosovo and all of these things hardly amount to ‘making the country less secure’.

    It’s just the opposite, in fact: with the Middle East realignment we are more secure in our energy policy than ever before. With Trump, a president finally recognized the threat from China, finally. And finally done something about it.

    Whoever these people are they must walk around with their eyes closed because they aren’t seeing what I’m seeing. More likely, they have some sort of ax to grind or an agenda.

    But that is gas lighting. Since they keep doing it, it must work on some people.
