His son having his wedding party paid for buy a Russian oligarch, wanting to purchase diesel from Russia, Guilfoyle’s appointment as Greece ambassador, the calling for Zelensky’s ouster, and now this… He’s tripping himself more and more, and things like a lying press secretary shouldn’t be added to the pot. The importance of the midterms can’t be overstated!

You should have voted for Harris. Or did you? Me thinks you did.

I’m sure you are fun at parties. Pointing out anything Trump does which hurts us in the midterms shouldn’t hurt your feelings.

I can go on about his missteps. One is going against Pirro on that left ‘lympian being charged with damaging the reflecting pool. I trust Pirro used way more sense in her dealing with that. I don’t know if it rose to felony level, but if so, she knew she couldn’t get an indictment from that joke of a DC grand jury. Soros has killed any hope there with jury nullification training.

AFAIK, she’s always been a Trumpster, and him going against her on this should never have happened. I wanted that lefty ‘lympian to to get prosecuted , but only if they had a good case. Again, I trust Pirro with her expertise in these matters.

Trump’s handlers really need to step it up to keep him from stepping in it. They know all too well even something seemingly innocuous gets blown out of proportion against him , to republicans, and to us conservatives. Losing these midterms will be devastating to this country…an understatement for sure.

I don't think Trump really has 'handlers'. I share the angst about the midterms, but although it's stressful and challenging, I do believe we will hold the Senate. I second guess Trump all the time but I do concede the guy is some kind of political savant. When I think he's stumbling, often it's carefully orchestrated behavior.

My feelings couldn't be hurt by a Texas Lawman. I honestly mean that. I would ask what is your expertise in running the office of the President, picking cabinet members, picking POTUS staff, and campaigning for mid terms? Would that question make you storm out of the party?

The only thing that will hurt us in the midterms will be if Republicans, Conservatives & Conservative Republicans stay home on Election Day and do not vote! One only needs to look a Virginia to realize this fact.

Yes, and I've told my daughter that... she lives in Virginia.
I've voted in every election since 1984 when I turned 18, and that includes smaller municipal elections. I've never missed one, and I'm usually working the election.
Still, high turnout doesn't necessarily mean we will win. I remember 2008.... "hope and change" was everywhere.

Yeah, the whining and gashing is fucking annoying.

Armchair politicians who know far more than Trump and his people, they could make a lot of money consulting those in charge who don't know jackshit

That’s obviously true, but what is evidently not so obvious is why people do that.

“A plague on both their houses!” and Parabellum’s comet are two ways that people express their frustrations. Some people are educated enough about the issues to know that despite a multitude of unforced errors committed by their side that it’s still critical that they hold their noses and vote for the best candidates regardless of how far they fall below the “good” or even “moderately acceptable” levels.

Many more people, however, are influenced by the faux pas of the moment. Did anyone in the decision-making process give a nanosecond or two of thought to the idea of livestreaming that murderers’ execution? Did someone truly believe that the announcement would motivate the lazy to think, “Dam’ straight. I wasn’t planning to vote before, but now I will”?

An unfortunate fact about human nature is that most of us remember the negatives far more than the positives, and therefore like it or not, the positives should be emphasized and the unnecessary negatives minimized by all reasonable means possible and not just excused with the “Everyone makes mistakes,” “Do you think you could do better?*” or the juvenile, “It’s just trolling.”

* Yes, actually perhaps, but I’m not one of those people who accepted the job. There were times in my life when I recognized I couldn’t do a proper job and therefore declined to accept it.

Let's take a look at some commentary of people who are familiar with this site (which I've never heard of.)

Sorry, but to me, the terms attorney and lawyer are synonymous and the use of either is intended to, and has the effect of, convincing people that they are in fact authorized to practice law. This just like Talarico calling himself a “doctor” despite not being a licensed physician. IMO it is misleading and disingenuous, and depending on the circumstances, could be illegal. I say this as an actual attorney/lawyer with a JD and 20+ years of admission to the Bar.

Honest people who are not trying to pose or mislead will use “JD” after their name to reflect they have obtained a Juris Doctor degree but are not admitted to any Bar.

Then again, opinions are like belly buttons, everyone’s got one.

Don’t make fun of her being a “doctor.” Whoopi heard she was a great “doctor,” and should have been considered for Surgeon General!

I’m not going to spend time trying to determine who said what when about this particular issue, but I agree with the above despite not being an attorney myself. It’s not nearly the same as the term “doctor” which has legitimately referred to academic degrees unrelated to being a physician for centuries. According to the ’net, men were called “Doctor” long before it referred to a medical practitioner. Despite all that, however, today most people with a PhD would be ridiculed for calling themselves by that term in any other than a specific context.

Certain terms are commonly understood to refer to a specific status, and using them otherwise might not be illegal, but is certainly dishonest. What’s more, anyone who believes they can get away with doing something like that when they enter the modern high level political arena is deluded or incredibly arrogant, and that alone raises serious doubts about their suitability for certain jobs.

Report: White House Press Secretary Katie Zacharia ‘Transitioning Out’ of Role

White House press secretary Katie Zacharia is reportedly “transitioning out” of her role after receiving criticism regarding her legal background, Fox News reporter Aishah Hasnie shared.

Sorry, Bytes, but your little gurrl-fren Byted the dust?

I'm not hurting or happy about this. I just hate seeing anything the left can use to sway voters away from the 'Publicans.

She saved herself from a nightmare. Who would want to deal with the activists in the White House press pool. Hopefully the replacement is as attractive.

She was in there even less time than “The Mooch”.

What a clown show. Some covert Trump hater in his inner circle set this girl up to fail to make him look bad. That’s how I see it.
