    Hate to piss on your Wheaties partner but, you might want to book a one way flight out of the country because come November, there will be a new sheriff in town. And...
    1. We will get our border back.
    I live 2 miles from the border and the immigration issues do not affect my life at all. How does it affect your life? The problem there is that everybody wants to come to America. Like always.
    2. Criminals will be put behind bars to serve their just punishment.
    "Criminals" will become a subjective term. Today in the news Liz Cheyney is the criminal for speaking her mind. Next year, it could be you.
    3. People of this country will have much more disposable income.
    Really? How so? Trump's stated policies will throw the country and the world into economic turmoil.
    4. There will be no more weaponization of the DOJ to go after one's political opponent.
    Really? See Trump's comments about his own political opponents this morning.
    5.Inflation will go down immediately.
    We already know that his trade policies will lead to rampant inflation.
    6.Our military and police force will be respected and supported once again.
    Our military and police will be one and the same.
    7.Gas prices will drop immediately to where they were pre Biden.
    You would have to explain that one to me.
    8. We will stop paying for oil from our adversaries.
    Our friends will be our adversaries and our adversaries will be our friends.
    9.People will once again be able to purchase a home
    Probably not with Trump's economic plans.
    10. BTY I am an independent..
    Who cares? You are the problem.

    The only part of that I disagree with is the word "might." What we are seeing before our eyes is a complete move from American democracy to an autocratic state. Literally, all of the things we have taken for granted about our lives and life in America, what our parents and grandparents enjoyed as Americans, and the United States of America the whole way back to 1776 will change if Trump is elected President. I have always followed Joe Biden and my politics are virtually a replica of his but right now he needs to be replaced because of his age and condition. However, the bigger takeaway from last Thursday is that Donald Trump can never become President of the United States. That is true regardless of whether you are a Democrat, Republican, Independent, Green, or Purple Polkadotted.

    Like having rights? Take this to heart.
    I'll be shocked if The Donald doesn't win.

    True enough, but anyone who thinks Trump is mentally sharp needs to watch his description of the Battle of Gettysburg (in which he voiced Robert E. Lee in a strange faux Irish brogue) and also to give a listen to his recent "boat, electric battery, shark" story, both of which are rambling exercises in incoherence. Now, with the idiots on the current Supreme Court expanding the power of the presidency even more, we might be entering truly uncharted and dangerous territory after November. It's a sad choice this year and a terrible commentary on our major political parties, both of which have failed for different reasons. That said, I'll write in my dog before I vote for Trump.

    Well, if the 'old' one has another debate like last week ... the 'orange' one will be your next President. That was just awful to watch.

    Problem is, you have plenty of the orange one's supporters in the legislature, and they have to sign off on Pa. budgets.

    That's not going to be made 'officially' public until it's a done deal. Remember, there is absolutely no media pressure in D2 (there's hardly any media in D2).

    It will happen ... just a matter of when it gets announced.

    I never was. That's what I was saying. I have no connection to Punxsy.
    Punxsutawney Country Club is a very nice course. All in all it's a typical town for the area (with a very famous rodent).

    Sounds like a league minimum salary or something similar? Maybe a small bonus. If he gets cut he loses the remainder. I know you know this, just stating for the others.

    That's really great! It seems like he possesses the ingredients for success in the NFL.

    It will be interesting to follow how he fares. As one of the top players in the UFL, this is the idea, right? To move up. It seems like less of a leap than it is to go from college to the NFL.
