By the way, the Florida housing market is flagging. Guess people are figuring out they would be living in MAGA central, and they are choosing not to.

This is the most germane question. Russia is exactly what these idiots are looking for. It's got the fascism, the racism, and all the propaganda these idiots could possible consume. Why are they living in this failed country when there's one exactly like they want right around the corner?
Why are they fighting for an America that never existed?

Re: No place for a president who will not defend the constitution
Your post just reminded me of something. Billy Joel describes a encounter where a younger person complained about the complicated world they live in and told Joel to the effect that he was lucky he lived in an easier time period in US History.
Which led to him writing this, you know, about when American was supposedly greater than it is now. Some other America that we should strive to recreate. Notice the mention of Trump's mentor, Roy Cohn.
