You can’t handle the truth says Jack Nicholson right before he’s convicted. Pete doesn’t understand Tom Cruise and the rule of law are the heroes of “A Few Good Men!”

At a time of no mandates it would be nice to see one. I live in rural Colorado. If I were running for local office this former conservative would run on the same platform. Those who live in our town should be able to afford it.

Hoping that he gets to 50%. Important for democracy his policies have the support of a majority. I said the same thing of Trump. His policies are failing, we can but hope better in NYC with an opposite trajectory.

We’ll be more successful together. I congratulate you on your willingness to act. Failure to collaborate is the greatest problem the opposition to MAGA faces.

Appreciate your passion. Our challenge is to put the light on the evil of the GOP. Dems are too inclined to train their fire on each other, not the folks doing the real damage. AOC, Bernie, every member of the Colorado delegation are doing just what you say. Boost those voices. I’m on your side.

This is so frustrating. Every Dem did exactly that. They can’t break through the lies of the GOP because how do you refute a lie that is so pervasive. Debating the lie reinforces it. Stop blaming Dems for the behavior of the GOP and media. Show me one who didn’t do just what you asked!

And this is a surprise how? The same team stole a SCOTUS seat from Dems using worse tactics. Greg Abbott in Texas refused to call a special election to fill Texas 18 that was vacated in March until November. Dems need to be much more militant about thinking any rules are still applicable.

This is the most important thing that happened in America this month. Progress like this is amazing. New Mexico, talk to me about moving a business there. This makes New Mexico the best place to start a company.

It’s hard to prove a negative. That being said crime has a lot more impact in a crowded city because it’s so close to you. Trust me the murder rate in Cabot Cove is way higher than it is in New York City. Unfortunately, in real life, it’s probably higher in Mobile, Alabama as well.

Often the most violent places are smaller towns and cities with less policing. Crime is a universal challenge and some our largest cities are subduing crime successfully in contrast to their rural neighbors.

Most Dems say the same thing they just don’t get the coverage. Kudos to the Newsome team for social media execution. Newsome has been a fierce counter puncher and has used the platform Trump has provided to great advantage!

She is one of the greatest business operators of our time. Kudos to Taylor. I say we lock her in a room with Trump and see who comes out with a deal!

It is a source of frustration that the GOP pretends health care costs would go down by eliminating 13 million folks on Medicaid. They are going nowhere! Instead they will go from an efficient medical care stream back to hospital emergency rooms. Cost for their care will quadruple.

When humble people win big prizes we should all celebrate. We’ve had a bit too much of the opposite lately. Will feel the same way when you are allowed to run and win.

Hoping you don’t see everyone with a Y chromosome as an apologist for Trump. “When a clown occupies a palace he does not become a king, the palace becomes a circus!” 40% of us men always thought Orange was for clowns.

And yet some how Republicans run as the party of business and economic stewardship. Narrative and reality diverge. 20% greater GDP growth and lower deficits mark Democratic presidencies yet the perception is the opposite of reality. Befuddling to this trained economist.

Do you have a sense of how Americans are traveling to Canada? Our family is inclined to head north on holiday and spend money as a sign of support.

Great take. Mom makes you eat your peas and it’s called scolding. Dad encourages you to cheat at school and he’s cool. Donald is a bad dad and the GOP laps it up in the name of Christian nationalism.

Hear me out on this. The precursor to American rebellion in 1776 was “taxation without representation!” Tesla has never paid American taxes yet Elon and other tax cheat billionaires control much of the American government. Is that representation without taxation?
