actually plays into the hands of Tr**p.

The Repug field would be so big that it would fragment the Primary vote so much - that Tr**p's base - would rally around him and would easily beat out all those other candidates as Tr**p would wind up with the most votes and the other candidates would each have a small portion of the remainder.

he glowingly compliments Kevin for how he conducted himself in the debt ceiling negotiations.

There's no need for Biden to attack McCarthy. The Repugs will be turning red if Biden makes McCarthy look good.

McCarthy - I believe wants to come off looking as a tough negotiator. If Biden compliments McCarthy - it will be the wrong message McCarthy wants the Repugs to take away from these negotiations.

I can't help but think that one of the reasons is the availability of guns in this country and that the job now is probably more dangerous now than ever.

I seem to recall that the Uvalde shooting - the police were scared to go into the building and that was a factor in the time it took to end that crisis.

The proliferation of AR-15 - and knowing the damage that they can do - I can only assume that many are thinking twice about becoming a cop these days.

I hadn't heard much about it now since it started.

saying loudly that the American People should remember this moment - and recall how the Repugs were willing to let it lapse and put us into an economic crisis.

If the Repugs ever retake the WH in the future - the American People need to pay very close attention to how they treat the debt ceiling and how the Repugs would be behind passing it when they're in power.

The only time the Repugs question the debt ceiling and hold it hostage is when the Dems are in power and the Repugs could embarass the Dem President.

The Dems need to really drive home this point - because the American People easily forget over a period of time - how hypocritical the Repugs are.

There are some moderate Repugs in the House that don't want a debt ceiling default to fall on the blame of the Repugs and know the serious damage it could do to the U.S..

Why don't a group of them get together and put pressure on McCarthy and threaten to depose him from his speakership - if he doesn't quit screwing around with these dangerously close negotiations re: debt ceiling.

I know McCarthy has pressure from the other side that are pushing him to play hardball and default - but I believe it is time for the moderate Repugs to push back and put the pressure on McCarthy.

If they have to - knock McCarthy out of the speakership and put someone in that position that will end this crisis.

would they be in trouble too? If proved - would the pardon be voided?

Woody deserves an Academy Award for his performance.

It is a great picture. I recommend everyone watch it.

My friend lives in the Schaumburg, a Chicago suburban area, and saw a Chinook go back and forth over her house about 3 times.

We haven't heard anything about this on the local news.

Kind of scary when you see a military helicopter over your house.

Any info would be appreciated.
