not reality TV —!My mom who just turned 96 a couple weeks ago is more in touch with the world and able to carry on an intelligent conversation than any of the people I know that are half her age. I'm almost 70 and she's about the only person I know I can have a decent discussion about current affairs with.
If it wasn't for all the great discussions that go on here and with her I'd soon be watching reality TV and be back to boozing for entertainment.

They have a good case in a good state to do it, like the republicans went judge shopping on abortion in Texas. They just needed standing, and a venue to present their case and they should have both. Trump is worried and should be, because this might be the one that blows him out of the water with a disqualification before the primaries, game over, STFU and go to prison forever.Trump blasts ‘slime balls’ who sued to keep him off Colorado ballot
Former President Trump isn’t too pleased with a lawsuit filed earlier this week to try and keep him off the ballot in 2024 in Colorado.
The lawsuit was filed by Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) Wednesday. It tries to use the 14th Amendment to say the former president is disqualified for actions allegedly taken during the riot at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
“The group suing me in Colorado to ridiculously try and Unconstitutionally keep me off the ballot (I am leading against DeSanctimonious by almost 50 points, and beating Crooked Joe, BIG!), is TRUMP DERANGED ‘CREW,’ composed of many slime balls & groups like Norm Eisen through Brookings or Just Security, Andrew Weissmann, Joyce Vance, et al.” Trump said on his Truth Social platform.
Trump also noted in another post that CREW had previously brought a lawsuit against him a few years ago accusing him of violating the emoluments clause. He also accused the group of working with Special Counsel Jack Smith, who has indicted Trump in two cases, one related to efforts to overturn the 2020 election, the other related to document handling.
“Crew also sued me on emoluments at my recently sold, and very beautiful, D.C. hotel, and LOST BIG,” Trump said in the other post. “These are bad Radical Left people and groups that use the Injustice Department as though it were their own.
“They will have major liability for what they are doing to America!” Trump continued. “It is, working with Deranged Jack Smith & others, ELECTION INTERFERENCE at a level never seen before. MAGA!”

It would be fun to watch MAGAs waste their vote on writing him in. Naa, never happen. They'd have to learn how to write. edit: writin' is so woke.
They can copy the letters from their lapel pin, which liberals will be producing if Trump is disqualified and some still want to write him in and spoil their ballots. The pin will say, " WRITE TRUMP IN"! The republicans would be panicked because they know how fucking stupid their base is!
With Newsom as VeepI would pick Whitmer.
The Memo: Five Democratic alternatives if President Biden exits the 2024 race
Correction: The date of the 2020 presidential election has been corrected in several places. We regret the error. Democrats are fretting about President Biden’s low approval ratings, exacerbated by…
Biden would trounce Vivektomy.
I still like Amy Klobuchar.
I just read a bit about her. She seems solid.
Yeah, there is a bit of nuance but I'm sticking to my main point.
As an outside observer, I think the SCOTUS will disqualify Trump before the primary, the best time would be before the general election leaving the GOP high and dry. The 14th has been used on hundreds of people with no trial including one recently in NM, you cannot put Trump above the US constitution or rule of law, the 13th, 14th and 15th are as valid today as when they were written, to ignore them would make blacks disenfranchised slaves and disenfranchise women. America is a constitutional republic containing people from all over the world, the constitution and rule of law are the only tangible things binding the nation. A threat to either is a threat to the nation and its founding ethos because the 14th is as valid as the 1st or 2nd amendment.
I agree with you to a point. I would prefer that Trump be beaten at the polls. I doubt his staunch MAGA would accept the result if he lost. Their ideology will only die with their last breath. For the rest of the country, the majority who rejected Trumpism in 2018, 2020 and again in 2022, their participation to help our democratic system overcome the Trumpist infection again through the ballot box once again in 2024 would demonstrate that our democracy is strong and refute those inside and outside of our country who claim it is failing. Their movement can't win as long as our democracy remains strong. So, yes, I support letting Trump run again so he can be publicly beaten once more.
