Never mind that not only the president but candidates for the Presidency have been publicly releasing their tax returns for decades. I have no idea why they continue to defend Trump; he is truly the idiot whisperer.

From the article:

"Despite having initially "bought into it" and "adhering to the requests" made of him, Robbins explained that his real-life encounters were ultimately at odds with what he had otherwise been told about the pandemic, anti-lockdown protesters, and the unvaccinated. This generated a sense of cognitive dissonance, prompting him to doubt the official narrative".


Yep, after all the smoke clears, he sees the truth

I have an idea.

They should nominate Richard Davis.  

Wiki seems conflicted on this possibility:

"The Constitution does not require the speaker to be an incumbent member of the House of Representatives, however under Rule 1 Clause 8 of Manual Sec 26 of the House of Representatives, stipulates. "the Speaker pro tempore must be a Member of the House"

So, maybe?

I'm selling my Astrophysics 6" F9 Super Planetary OTA in a classified for $1000 w fastest pickup. You guys get first choice if you can get to N San Diego soon. It breaks my heart having pulled it out of deep storage and now having to look at it. I never used it.

Enjoy that scope Brian! Hope you have a good road trip picking it up, too.

I'll go first,  I think that wearing either pin (both pins being loved by the rabid core base, but hated by the opposition) is tone deaf to the vast majority of voters, pure divisiveness, and a really crappy idea.  The only people who like these stunts are the slobbering, "own those other bastards at any cost" factions of the base.  These pins are a microcosm of what is wrong with US politics today.
