Just curious

Falsifying business records in order to conceal another crime. Class e. He'll get probation.

I understand, but has the been “the other/another crime” to warrant the felony? Has this been presented?

I'm at a total loss how to help you. Sorry.

Ukraine? We were talking about the border..try to keep up.

Whew..well thank God I don't need any help from you. That would be tough to swallow. Maybe you can help me carve out a path where I'm so blinded by partisan ideology that I refuse to call out my own party for just about anything, while at the same time never acknowledge the other side for anything good they ever do. Nah, I think I'll pass and stay right of center and let you and the other 'party first' geniuses get us out of all these messes. It's going swimmingly so far.

Trump is going to be convicted.

Trump is going to win the next election.

WONDERFUL!!! GOOD JOB AMERICA!!!

It's being shown in recent polling that RFK might steal votes from Trump and allow Biden to win again. That has some kind of weird ironic hilarious twist to it.

I think the only thing uniting a lot of the country right now is the disinterest in voting for either of these two yahoos

Honestly, given the other choice, another Trump presidency isn't sounding that bad anymore.

What's bad is that these are the two choices. That's a problem. The vast majority of America doesn't like either one of them, yet these are the two we have. How does that happen? Why does that happen? That' SHOULDN'T happpen! That's what we need to fix. That's easier said than done, but this is not what we should wind up with in a country where our leaders are supposed to represent US!!

No argument there. But here we are.

With all due respect Brew, I don't think that it really matters who is running, Dem or Rep, what you are saying would be said with anyone who is running. If Pence, Haley, Ramaswamy, DeSantis, Christy or Kennedy or K Harris or whomever, people would say the same thing.
