It just sort of speaks to why after decades of trying, I eventually just stopped debating these people online. There is only so much willfully missing the point, false equivalencies, and whataboutisms I can take.

During the Obama and Biden years there were friends of mine who'd post the memes weekly about the Feds working with the UN armies to steal everybody's guns.  They believed every one of them and would get very angry when you'd point out how ridiculous the notion of non-existent UN shock troops Red Dawning in and searching millions of houses.

The Minsky Moment

Hilarious that this is being posted by a pro-Trump memer.

Yes - if you have a competent President running a competent government instead of sending a bunch of untrained goons into midsize cities for no reasons you will get much better results AND no protests.
We have, accordingly, always had plenty of excellent lawyers, though we often had to do without even tolerable administrators, and seen destined to endure the inconvenience of hereafter doing without any constructive statesmen at all.

The Minsky Moment

I looked up El Cajon, CA out of curiosity.  Holy crap that place produces a ton of good ballplayers.  It helps that the Boone and Giles families were there:

C - Bob Boone
1B - Tony Clark
2b - Brett Boone
SS - Kurt Bevacqua
3B - Aron "F-ing" Boone
LF - Kyle Stowers
CF - Brian Giles
RF - Shane Spencer
UT - Marcus Giles
SP - Barry Zito, Dave Dravecky, Joe Musgrove, Joe Kennedy, Kevin Correia
RP - Geoff Geary, AJ Griffen, Mike Hartley, Grant Roberts

Pitching is a bit meh, there is a lack of depth, and Bevacqua is badly out of position at short.  But the lineup is solid; playoff level in a good year.  And you could fix the problem at shortstop by drafting in Ray Boone, perhaps visiting on the holidays?

Nah I am not buying it. They have managed to "make the files public" with plenty for the media and the people to chew on without a single mention of Trump making it into it.

It's done.

BBC in their key takeaways article said Trump was mentioned hundreds of times.

Well it doesn't seem like any of those mentions were juicy enough to get at least as many mentions, anywhere, as the Melania movie.

I know we want to think that this is going to bring him down but it won't.

Even Republicans who turned against him because of it, like that completely insane blonde lady, TMG, they'll still vote Republican in the mid-terms. MAYBE if they feel strong enough they'll stay home.

It's economics and domestic chaos that's going to bring him down, not the fact that he is a despicable monster. That's been known for a while. Maybe if there is a photo of him actually raping a child, but anything short of that? Nah.
