Steyn perfectly nails Larry Hogan for this insane tweet:
Regardless of the result, I urge all Americans to respect the verdict and the legal process. At this dangerously divided moment in our history, all leaders—regardless of party—must not pour fuel on the fire with more toxic partisanship. We must reaffirm what has made this nation great: the rule of law— Governor Larry Hogan (@GovLarryHogan) May 30, 2024
I loathe the likes of Hogan far more than I loathe Alvin Bragg: The latter campaigned for office on a promise to get Trump, and delivered to his voters. The former, in pretending that there is anything "great" about this that should command our "respect", is making evil and corruption respectable and bipartisan.
You have to be stupid to buy Disney stock. Their board seems stacked with people who have no qualifications and have no financial interest in how the company does. Peltz’s fund owned a big block of Disney shares and he couldn’t get a seat on the board. Apparently none of the other big shareholders, which are mutual funds, care how it does either.
Burgum has not ever been a Never Trumper. He shouldn’t be lumped in with those lunatics. Even if he had been a Never Trumper I would be open to the possibility that he changed his mind.

What does she even mean when she says Walmart Target are lowering prices? Did everything they sell suddenly get reduced? Obviously not. What is she even talking about?
If Walmart etc. are lowering prices of some things, it’s because those things aren’t selling so they are forced to lower them. If lots of things aren’t selling it suggests we are going into a recession.
The way corporate business works is that they support unlimited government spending on food stamps and welfare so that people can have money to buy the products.
I guess the woke ones do. I don't think the others do.

I don’t understand why this idea persists that Biden will be replaced. He will not. He might voluntarily step down if his health took a turn for the worse, but that’s his decision.
First of all Hunter's case could not possibly be like Trump's since Hunter is not a candidate for office, let alone the opposition candidate of a sitting Republican President. Your claim is inane on that basis alone.
Counterfactual conditionals can be useful mental exercises. For example theorizing what would have happened if the outcome of a war had been different. Counterfactual conditionals can be based on analytical thinking.
OTOH, your counterfactual conditional is simply making things up. It doesn't follow from any empirical data.
In addition to being made up, it does not address anything Mark Levin actually said about this bizarre situation. It has no relevance to anything. It seems your counterfactual is intended to change the subject.
