		<description>I mean, look at &lt;b&gt;Kick&#039;s&lt;/b&gt; comments immediately above. Engendering that kind of response ain&#039;t cutting it, Brother. You and Michale both really need to get out there with your own blogs. Competing in the marketplace of ideas will properly test the merits of your respective ideologies.</description>

I think you outta try some other, less strident approach to us non purists. It&#039;s not how hard one yells, for there&#039;s a billion yeller&#039;s out there. It&#039;s how &lt;i&gt;effective,&lt;/i&gt; or &lt;i&gt;persuasive&lt;/i&gt; you are.</description>

&lt;i&gt;If Biden says it that means he will do it. You can take that to the bank and deposit it.

In the circular file with rest of the trash. &lt;/i&gt;

Not exactly possible since you and your idea have that area occupied in its entirety.</description>

&lt;i&gt;The real irony here is the media &quot;mailing it in&quot; by trying to shift the focus to the symptoms of our problems with articles like this rather than doing their job covering the reality that both parties are corrupted by big money and informing citizens how they can fight back and demand a real choice. &lt;/i&gt;

Nah. The real irony here is that a lazy-ass, candy-ass underachiever like you has spent years and years whining about somebody else who won&#039;t shill for your own epic failure at political activism while you yourself won&#039;t lift a finger or make even a tiny little move to start your own blog. 

It&#039;s quite obviously infinitely easier to do nothing whatsoever yourself while whining incessantly how somebody else &quot;done you wrong.&quot; Your whiny little repetitive routine and victim card playing is just like Donald Trump... always blaming everyone else for your own inaction and obvious failure to act. 

&lt;i&gt;Get Real. &lt;/i&gt;

Get a real blog of your own, you lazy prat.</description>

		<description>Don, this is a quote from an &lt;i&gt;Atlantic&lt;/i&gt; article reflecting on Trump.

&lt;i&gt;He convinced a good chunk of the country that he is a wildly successful businessman and knows more about campaign finance, the Islamic State, the courts, the visa system, trade, taxes, the debt, renewable energy, infrastructure, borders, and drones than anyone else.&lt;/i&gt;

How can you say that it doesn&#039;t matter which &quot;big money&quot; candidate we elected in 2016. I betcha 90,000 &lt;b&gt;dead Americans&lt;/b&gt; would beg to differ.</description>

Is this Ghostbusters where we get to choose the form of our destroyer?&lt;/i&gt;

Don, I DO agree with your 100,000 foot overall view that &lt;b&gt;we must get the money out of politics to save our Constitutional Republic, period, full stop.&lt;/b&gt;

But if you&#039;ll come down closer to the ground doesn&#039;t it matter that almost anyone who has ran for President in 2016 and 2020 (in both parties) &lt;i&gt;would have handled Paris, the Iran deal and especially coronavirus better than Trump?&lt;/i&gt;

I &quot;get it&quot;  that you&#039;re a purist but until we get to our utopia it still matters which &quot;big money candidate&quot; wins. To put a pox on both their houses is useless at this point in our history. I betcha that 90,000 dead Americans would agree!</description>

		<description>CW,

Could you please make the NUMBERS on the comments bigger? I do everything on my cracked cellphone (ya really gotta want it,) and larger font size numbers on the comments would make the process easier.

Also, where&#039;s Michale? Does he sometimes not comment on your posts because (especially recently) they have been so devastating of our fake-President?</description>

		<description>Trump threatening to starve the US Postal Service seems just as likely to enrage voters as opposing absentee balloting.</description>

		<description>Just think: Eight months from now Trump will be out of office and SDNY (and others) will be waiting in the wings. I am heartened that Joe Biden says he won&#039;t repeat Obama&#039;s disappointing decision to &lt;b&gt;not&lt;/b&gt; prosecute his &lt;i&gt;criminal predecessor.&lt;/i&gt;</description>

		<description>CW: &lt;i&gt;Republicans were absolutely convinced that they would win if they forced an in-person election. But it turns out they were wrong -- the Democratic candidate won handily, in what was supposed to be a razor-thin election.&lt;/i&gt;

So you do remember how that turned out, and this is -- once again -- what I get for not reading ahead before I post a comment. ;)</description>

		<description>CW: &lt;i&gt;But the biggest danger for Trump isn&#039;t being ridiculed for such blatantly partisan contradictions, but rather that he might in fact motivate more people to vote against him and the Republican Party. &lt;/i&gt;

You don&#039;t think the citizens of Michigan might not take too kindly to a POTUS threatening to withhold the federal funding that supports health care/Medicaid, education, transportation, etc. for Michigan voters, their families, and fellow Michiganders, do you? 

Fun fact: The chairperson of the RNC lives in Michigan (it&#039;s a Romney thing). I am almost certain she will encourage her fellow Republicans to ignore those applications for absentee ballots since Trump is against it. *shakes head* 

Reminds me of that time Republicans forced the voters in Wisconsin to vote in person during the thick of a pandemic.
