But I don't logically understand, if you actually read what Mr. Trump has stated in many, many tweets, statements, stump speeches, etc. how one could objectively believe their isn't at least hints of "any of those words". Just like there are at least hints of "any of those words" by certain members of the "AOC squad" or whatever they are called.

Bernie Sanders Thinks Medicare for All Could Cost $40 Trillion: https://reason.com/2019/07/17/bernie-sanders-medicare-for-all-cost-40-trillion-obamacare-single-payer/ I have an in-law who recently fell, and although not life threatening, seriously injured his leg. He was taken by ambulance to a local hospital around noon on a Friday, was admitted, then had surgery that same evening to repair the damage. He was released from the hospital the next day. I'm sorry, I just don't see this timeliness and quality of care happening under a government health care system. Under such a system he possibly would have had to wait to have surgery the following morning, or because it was the weekend, as long as Monday morning.

Are you generally a straight ticket voter, Grover?

And what exactly has Mr. Trump's and the policies of the GOP done to alleviate "skid row" in California? Uni-party to the max.

Interesting. Under what objective criteria do you come this conclusion, based on Mr. Trump's actual words?

So you don't believe there is any merit at all in any of those labels regarding Mr. Trump?

https://thehill.com/opinion/finance/452968-marching-toward-a-debt-crisis Agreed. Our "leaders", and I use that term very loosely, in Congress only seem to care about getting reelected first, accumulating political power second, growing their personal wealth third. They don't give a rat's ass about the future of this country. They only pay it lip service.

Doesn't matter if it is satire or not. I have no idea what the "Borowitz Reports" is. A mature adult wouldn't even deign Mr. Trump's tweets/rants worthy of a response. Whatever happened to taking the high road?

Yep, children on both sides of the uni-party isle.

Yep, I see a number if "issues" that could get this child removed from the home and parents charged with various forms of neglect.

Area 51 expert on social media campaign to 'storm' top-secret site: Military won't let anyone get close: https://www.foxnews.com/science/area-51-expert-storm-facebook-military I read Ms. Jacobsen's book several years ago, a recommended read.

Abolish the Dept. of Homeland Security? Yes, Please.: https://mises.org/power-market/abolish-dept-homeland-security-yes-please Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is usually wrong about pretty much everything. But on this she's accidentally correct: abolishing the DHS would be a net good for America. It was never necessary, and is mostly a channel for violating the rights of Americans through a de facto standing army of federal agencies and local cops pumped up on federal dollars and military equipment. Politicians in Washington DC would hate to see it go. But the taxpayers would likely benefit were it to disappear forever. This is something I support.

Lisa always was the smart one.

There is more than you think there is, especially if the populace doesn't have to some much of it's wealth confiscated by government via taxation. As for "strings attached", please elaborate.

The NBA’s PC Move Away from the Word ‘Owner’: https://www.nationalreview.com/2019/07/nba-move-away-from-word-owner-politically-correct/ Now, I’m not sure about crack specifically, but I am sure that Stephen A. Smith is right to think that this is unbelievably stupid. In fact, what struck me the most about the controversy was that I remembered that I had actually used the concept of people becoming offended at the word “owner” as a joke in an NRO column I wrote two years ago. The column was about how a college, Rice University, had decided to stop using the word “master” to describe the heads of its residential colleges because the word is associated with slavery. As a way of arguing against this decision, I stated in a tongue-in-cheek way that having a problem with the word “master” for this reason would be like having a problem with the word “owner:” Let me be clear: I thought, at the time, that my example was perfect for showing just how ridiculous and nonsensical the “master” controversy was. Little did I know that, according to Silver, there already was a group (the NBA) that, in all seriousness, had an actual problem with “owner.” It’s mind-blowing, but it’s true: We have now entered an era of political correctness when parody has become almost impossible. I always wondered when a joke I’d made in my column about oversensitivity would turn out to come true — and it seems that the day has finally (unfortunately) come. Yes — people owned slaves, and yes, that is an unspeakable horror. But the thing is, people have owned, and continue to own, lots of things. For example, I (not to brag) own a toothbrush. Is it offensive to say I’m a toothbrush owner? If I own a home someday, can I call myself a “homeowner”? Or do I have to call it something else? I guess I could say “person who has a home,” but I don’t know if even that would work. Other than it being stupidly wordy, wouldn’t the word “has” be offensive too, according to the NBA logic about the word “owner”? After all, there can be all sorts of horrific things that a person “has” — like cancer, for example. If “owner” is offensive because there have been people who owned slaves, wouldn’t “has” be offensive because there have been people who “have had” (and continue to “have”) things like cancer? Words can mean different things to different people at different times, and as long as you’re not using them in an offensive way, you shouldn’t have any problem using them. In any case, I am truly terrified to see how stupid this could get. After all, just when I think it couldn’t possibly get any more stupid, I’m usually proven wrong. All I can do is hope that no one reads my parody-like example about the word “has” and decides that this word actually is offensive. But, after what happened with my 2017 example of using the word “owner,” it wouldn’t be the first time that what I thought was parody turned out to be reality.
