This is truly mind boggling.

Mind boggling yes. Apparently the support is very slowly declining. If they had any worthy candidates, this would be more competitive. Trump has poisoned the party and it isn't going to recover any time soon. Anyone with leadership and experience, dignity or anything resembling qualifications is just no longer a consideration by the party or it's supporters. Crushed by extremism and misinformation and culture wars. Not good for the country to have a major party in this kind of shape. Thankful this does not represent the majority of America. Not anywhere close.

I was under the impression DeSantis disliked indoctrinating students

Florida’s conservative PragerU teaching texts labeled ‘indoctrination’​

Critics of the material approved by Gov. Ron DeSantis say it aims to influence young minds. Its founder says that’s true.

How about this indoctrination propaganda from a former sowal resident:

Looks as if I should have posted a trigger warning
I was thinking the same thing. National Lampoon magazine would have driven the poor boy to suicide.

Funny thing about stats is they can be easily manipulated
Basic main street question
How does the average American feel about the job this admin is doing as far as economics go?
If our economy is so strong why does it cost so much to borrow money?
If our economy is so strong why investor confidence so low?

I think the economy is going great. I haven't noticed a difference in my standard of living, and that's after dealing with a couple of major expenses. I absolutely love the high savings rates that always go hand in hand with high borrowing rates. Maybe some people don't want to educate themselves with how the economy and Fed policy actually work so that they devise some kind of strategy to get them through the tough times, and even flourish.

Most thinking people would choose the candidate running for the office over the one running from the prison term.

Jan 6. To some here, it was just another peaceful walk down to the U.S. Capitol….but it wasn’t.

“And this is amazing timing, as the -- Hunter's plea deal falls apart, that suddenly these new charges on Trump just happened to arrive.
And then, what about surveillance cameras? What's wrong with that? What's wrong with -- like, are those yours? Why can't you clear them? I don't understand that. They're not like other people's emails that you then, you know, disappear. But I'll leave that for another time because I'm not a lawyer.”

Ironically the security footage was being stored on Trump's Private Server.

Let me ask 2 very simple questions that none of you will answer

1) how many protestors were at the capital on Jan 6th?

2) take whatever number you answered #1 with and ask yourself. If X number of extremely violent and angry protestors, most of which were armed according to our elected officials, were out to do harm how come only 1 protestor died at the capital that day? Seems like a fairly mild stat for the most violent insurrection that has ever occurred on American soil


Let the spin begin

1033 rioters were arrested of that 485 rioters have been sentenced. As for the the 1 rioter who was shot, it seems they were at a defensible position.

Trump will be the nominee. Biden likely won't be healthy enough so Harris gets popped up and most of America more scared of her than Donald.

President Trump returns to DC.

1. Okay, others above have answered your questions about how many were there that day.

2. Just one visitor died that day?! So that’s a regular occurrence on any given day when Congress is in session?

SMDH! I watched it live while it was happening. It didn’t look anything like a normal day at the Capitol.

eta: one visitor was shot that day, a normal day for a Congressional session?

You are so deluded…..

How does the Jan 6th protestors crimes compare to all of the other protests from 2020? Now how does the level at which they were punished line up? This is the kind of unequal actions that causes some to see things a certain way. All I’m gonna say is be careful because some people aren’t playing

President Trump returns to DC.
In the end I think the choices will be DeSantis vs Michelle Obama. Just my opinion.

Calm down with the deluded comments there sweetie unless you want to go all in then you’re in

The comparison is between any other protest that happened during that time frame and the jam 6th protest. If you want I’ll post the stats but you will say don’t bother because you care about emotion and not fact.

No one is comparing it to a regular session but that’s a new silly spin I’ve yet to read.

Great no answer

In your wildest dreams. I know you’re joking about Michelle. However, if Joe is out, and I don’t think he is, the Dems have a much deeper bench than the republicans do.

You think my wildest dreams is about these 2 men running for president? I’m not joking at all. If your bench is so deep why are you running this old man. Let him go die in peace. It won’t be long

Don’t you dare call me sweetie, you misogynistic POS. I’m 62 years old, 5’0, 105 Lbs., but I’ll gladly take your a$$ intellectually around a corner or two. You’re the one who has compared that day to a normal walk in park and a routine visit to the Capitol.

Apples and oranges.

One was entirely on Federal grounds, interrupted the very fundamentals of our democracy, and was entirely based on a lie.

The others were primarily in urban city settings. They were responses to actual lives lost at the hands of civil servants.
