Even so, and even though I am tired and crabby today, I'll let you know that you have mixed it up badly.  I have indeed in the past mused about whether the press and left want to portray Trump (in general) as the buffoon or the mastermind.   It varies by story.   Sometimes it varies within the story.  This parallel but internally inconsistent characterization of Trump is commonplace in the press.  I think I last discussed the phenomenon here with reference to Jan. 6.  Not entirely sure.

With respect to Manafort, please review these threads.

We disagree of course, but I never said, what you said I did.  Given the magnitude of the Russian Collusion "hoax" including the massive investigation, impeachment for obstruction, but no supported charges of collusion with the Russians, I think the Manafort story is a nit.  I still do.

Thanks.  I think, the point I want to make in the light of morning is that Trump may be a buffoon, he may be a mastermind.  Even though I lean toward the buffoon angle, I have never used that as an excuse for any of his real malfeasance.  That is what riled me yesterday, I read your post as suggesting that I would give him a pass on tax fraud, just because he is stupid or unaware.  That is not true.  I hope they pin anything and everything on him that is just and proper under the criminal and tax codes.

…either way. Having Warnock or Walker is a big boost for the Dems. Not sure which result DNC leaders actually prefer.

I would agree with the premise that the world market certainly influenced it but so did Biden's policies when it comes to what made the prices soar.

I agreed with Trump that going into Iraq in 2003 was a mistake. Not too many of you rightist guys agreed with that at the time.

Heck no, I barely know anything about him!  If he is the nominee, I'll form an opinion over the course of 2023 and 2024.  Assuming I have not grown entirely tired of this forum, I'll let you know when the time comes.  Jim
