Yes, that was 16 years ago. Every "contested" primary since then has been engineered to get the Next One Up over the goal line. They did it with Hillary, and with Biden. Then they skipped over the primaries entirely for Harris.

Exactly, and Democrats learned their lesson! They will never take a chance on an actual contested primary again. It will look like it's contested, because there will be several people running, but after the first few primaries most of them will bail and throw their support to the Next One Up, to make sure the desired outcome is achieved.
How well is JD Kirk polling?
“The odds of him violating the Constitution to seek a third term are remote and even if he did, it’s difficult to see how a four-time GOP nominee in his 80s with an underwater approval rating could defeat a standard Democrat who has triumphed in a primary."
That's adorable, this guy thinks the Democrats are having a primary. It will be more like a coronation for Gavin.
Au Contraire! The Supreme Court has said that it is not possible for the President to be punished for breaking the law as part of his official duties, and the only check on this superpower is Congress, via impeachment. Therefore, if Congress does not impeach, it must be legal!
Isn't it obvious? Those troops are bring sent to be targets.
Trump so badly wants an attack, so that he can blame it on Antifa and use made-up emergency powers on everyone.
This article leaves out the most important point: it's not just the cost of the trips, it's that the trips are to courses he owns. Not only does the Federal Government pay handsomely for these trips, but that money goes directly back into Trump's pocket, because he's paying his own company.
All those hotel rooms and meals (for Trump and his security staff) all generate personal profit.
And apparently, it's all OK! Maybe we need Pritzker to run for President someday and be just as blatant about staying in hotels his family owns. If a Democrat pulled this shit, Republicans would pass laws to outlaw it in a heartbeat.
They talk like this because it's what Trump wants to hear.
He may have written her statement directly, but it's equally likely that if someone doesn't include shit like that in a public statement, the President will personally berate them.
He looks so surprised
The folks behind Project 2025 realized that in order to be done most effectively, lots of laws would need to be broken, and the President would need to appropriate powers that aren't really his. They created a perfect scenario to circumvent this:
- a President who doesn't give a shit about laws
- a Supreme Court who says the President can break all the laws he wants to, and impeachment is the only remedy
- a Congress who will not impeach the President for breaking the law, as long as he is doing it for reasons they approve of.
So, the net effect is that he was put there, on purpose, to remake the Federal Government to be so small it can drown in the bathtub, in spite of laws to rhe contrary. He has the government by the pussy, abd Republicans let him do it.
Even if Gavin wins in 2028, he will inherit an executive branch that is eviscerated and has no ability yo do anything. Moderates will tag him as "ineffective" and run to the next Republican in 2032. Then all bets are off....
Why not just trade Alberta for Minnesota and be done with it?

An engineering Masters is worth more than zero, but probably not worth the tuition to go to Grad School in the first place. IMHO, nobody should go into debt for any grad school unless they are becoming a medical doctor or lawyer (and even then it's not a slam dunk.)
If a grad school gives you an assistantship so you can go there for little to no money out of pocket, that's fine. If you work for a company willing to pay for your grad degree, that's fine too (although it will take a lot longer than working full time). But it's a bad idea to pay your own way.
