People who don't speak languages. We have languages coming in to our country, nobody that speaks those languages. They're truly foreign languages. Nobody speaks them
What?
I think I know what he means, but this is completely nonsensical. People don't speak the languages? Nobody speaks them? How are they coming here then.
Something isn't right with Trump.
March 3, 2024
Trump won the Idaho Caucus and Missouri Caucus and took the delegates from the Michigan Convention.
At a rally within the last few days, Trump stated:
"And Putin has so little respect for Obama that he's starting to throw around the nuclear word."
On this occasion, the crowd actually fell into silence. But here we are again. Trump not being able to recall who he is running against is significant.
March 4, 2024
Hinging its decision on the idea that the 14th Amendment is not self enacting, the Supreme Court reversed a Colorado Supreme Court decision barring Trump from running.
And so the disaster continues.
Trump won North Dakota yesterday.
He will win Super Tuesday today.
Haley won Washington, D.C. over the weekend.
Democrats are now pinning their hopes on the 40% of GOP voters who are opposing Trump in the primaries. That's a forlorn hope.

Arizona Senator Kyrsten Sinema, in her announcement that she is not running for reelection, took Americans to task, stating:
Americans still choose to retreat farther to their partisan corners... The only political victories that matter these days are symbolic, attacking your opponents on cable news or social media. Compromise is a dirty word.
She's right.
March 6, 2024
Trump won every Super Tuesday primary except for Vermont, which was won by Haley.
Biden won all the Democratic Super Tuesday states.
March 6, 2024
Nikki Haley had dropped out of the race.
Dean Phillips dropped out of the race.
And so the Republican Party will present with an ancient, strange narcissist who attacked the democratic institutions of the country but who is loved by his right wing base like a bobbysoxer at an Elvis concern, and the Democrats will present with an ancient nice man who has been willing to compromise his beliefs to satiate the left in his party.
It's the race that most of America doesn't want.
Assuming both men are alive by the election, which given their ages is not a certainty, it's very unlikely that either will survive the next term of office, making the VP choice more important than ever. We don't know who Trump's VP will be, but that person will have to at least appear as a fawning sycophant. Biden's is, of course, the unliked Kamala Harris.
And so the nation continues to endure the tragedy of inadequacy that is propelling it to destruction.

Mitch McConnell has endorsed Trump, although in a very lukewarm fashion.
Nonetheless, it's a disgusting end to his role as the leader of the GOP in the Senate.
John Barrasso, who has already endorsed Trump, and who is running for reelection, has put his hat in the ring to be McConnell's successor as head of the party in the Senate.
March 8, 2024
George Santos showed up at the State of the Union Address and is indicating he's running for Congress again.
March 12, 2024
North Carolina Republican Party Chairman Michael Whatley was chosen by the RNC to serve as the party's new Trump sycophantic head, and Trump's daughter-in-law, Lara Trump, as co-chair in unanimous votes.
The Republican Party has died, which makes up my mind in my earlier "shall I stay or shall I go" question I posed here.
Positions with the RNC are being slashed as the party merges with the Trump campaign organization so that it can more effectively apply the Führerprinzip.

Both ancient candidates now have enough delegates from an ancient and outdated electoral system to make them their party's nominees.
Which doesn't mean they have to be the choices, even though they will be.
An ABC News/Ipsos survey found that 59% of Americans view Trump unfavorably while 29% rate him favorably.
A weird sideshow occured on This Week last weekend when the host repeatedly asked Nancy Mace, who had revealed that she was a rape victim some time ago, why she supports Donald Trump, who has been convicted by a civil jury of having committed rape, although not directly. She never could really answer the question, essentially conceding that she's supporting somebody icky for political expediency, while trying to accuse the questioner of shaming her for being a rape victim.
She looked like a complete political hack.
She actually had a point, however, and never really made it. Trump wasn't convicted by a civil jury of rape, but rather sexual abuse. What Carroll claimed Trump did was to force himself on her as he shoved his mouth on hers, yanked her tights down, and penetrated her with his hand and then his penis. That would definitely be rape. The verdict, however, would indicate that the jury thought Trump did something unwelcome, but not necessarily the penetration aspects.
That leaves enough room for those who support Trump to state that in actuality he wasn't found liable in a civil trial for rape itself, as commonly understood. Mace stumbled into trying to say it, but saying "he didn't rape her he instead forced himself upon her and conducted force groping or something, according to a New York jury" is a pretty poor defense.
So, in the end, Mace did the very thing she supposedly spoke against, excused a man of a type of sexual violation of a woman and shamed her, at least vicariously, for which she should be ashamed.

No Labels Co-Chairman former North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory, region from that position, using the classic "more time with his family" excuse.
Colorado Republican Ken Buck is resigning his office this month, which means that Colorado will have to hold a special election to replace him. He was from the Freedom Caucus right but took shots at the expired GOP for conducting unconstitutional impeachment efforts and made it clear that his resignation is due to discuss.
Lauren Boebert had moved into his district in hopes of keeping her political carpetbaggery going and is upset about the whole thing.
March 15, 2024
Donald Trump endorsed Barrasso for GOP Senate whip.
Boebert's problems may be much more complicated than originally thought, according to a Colorado newspaper. She's an incumbent but carpetbagging her way to a new district, Ken Buck's, in hopes of retaining a seat. Colorado's law provides that an election has to be held to fill Buck's seat, which is now scheduled for the same day as Colorado's primary. The party has to pick the candidate and there's rumors that Boebert might not be it.
Moreover, if she is it, she'll have to resign her current seat in Congress as Colorado's law doesn't allow a person to run for one seat while holding another, apparently.
Or so some say.
In the Ein Reich, Ein Volk, Ein Führer category, Nancy Mace, running for a seat from South Carolina, who last week couldn't explain why a woman who is a rape victim is supportering somebody found liable for sexual abuse, took the positio that her primary rival Catherine Templeton should drop out of race now that Trump has endorsed Mace's re-election.
"To do otherwise would be to oppose the direction our party leader, Donald Trump, has set for us,” Campaign Manager John Mason Long stated.
An interesting article was published in the Cowboy State Daily by former Wyoming Speaker of the House Tom Lubnau:
