[Law professor Turley of George Washington University makes the case that in the Texas vs Feds border tussle, Biden has the upper hand over Gov Abbot. And it’s got nothing to do with justice, executive responsibility, or what the Constitution requires. It’s all about how our corrupt courts will adjudicate the matter in favor of the administration (more here and here). gjr]

Trump Chumps, take into account whatever polls indicate a Trump lead over Biden don’t take into account that Trump is the biggest political loser since the 1800’s. That means he will find a way to lose. In politics seldom do losers turn into winners. RR’s, can you show me some examples of that? The Dems should be grateful Trump is the likely Repub candidate.

You ask an idiot question and then realize how stupid it makes you look, then you come back with a similar but different question.
And all of this is because you can’t hack the reality that your precious Biden is a lying, perverted, crooked, senile sack-o-shit POTUS with the lowest approval rating of any sitting president.

Been following the WSJ as you recommended I do for conservative slanted news and this is what I fond:
“Republicans demanded border measures last year as the price for passing military aid for Ukraine, Israel and Pacific allies,” the editors wrote. “Democrats resisted at first but later agreed to negotiate and have made concessions that are infuriating the open-borders left. Will Republicans now abandon what they claimed to want?”
The WSJ then argued that Republicans are dropping the deal in order to help former President Donald Trump’s political prospects with the belief that outrage over border crossings could help propel him to the White House again…….

All Presidential candidates are egomaniacs. I admit that Trump strikes me as a useful hand grenade rolled in to interrupt a bit of the movement towards Minitrue/Minipax/Miniluv/Miniplenty. Admittedly, he would do little to stop the Surveillance State from growing like Topsy, but at least there would be fewer abominations like Sam Brinton in the works.

Psul’s mindless sports-fan obsession with Orange Man Bad is crazy making, but shared with many of his class.
