  1. Then you need to wise up.
  2. Gotta hand it to the founders. They were emphatically opposed to democracy. They intended voters to be those with skin in the game and Senators to be chosen by experienced politicians and administrators.
  3. Two dimocrax and three GOP. Which will get the most second choice votes?
  4. As good a reason as any is that so many don’t understand how it works.
  5. Probably hurts less that way.
  6. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
  7. I noticed that crude dropped about $17 a barrel the day after the election and have been asking the same question ever cents. Miraculous! Kinda like the news about the covid vaccine was held till after the 2020 election? Just who exactly has the ability to do this? The reports for two months before the election were that oil was moving through the strait at the same pace as before the war started.
  8. Can’t we all just get along? Sure, just turn a blind eye to all the evil in the world. Maybe ask George Soros, the ayatollahs, Xi, Putin, etc. Somebody tell me what the last law proposed by dimocrax that was a good idea.
  9. Live From Studio 6B One of the most under-the-radar trends on Tuesday was the astonishing record of success for ballot initiatives barring men from competing in women’s sports. Voters in Nebraska, Arizona, Washington, and Colorado all passed common-sense measures upholding basic biological reality and restricting male athletes who claim to be transgender from invading women’s sports and private spaces. So they voted for the issues but against the candidates.
  10. What would an independent’s vote be on denuclearizing Iran? Sex change surgery for minors? Inmates? Illegals? Border control? Deportations? So many questions are answered by one of two answers, yes or no, for or against. The problem arises when one side decides to be for whatever is wrong because the other is for what is right.
  11. This is completely haywire. Corporate taxes are not paid by corporations, they’re paid by their customers. Competition is the only thing that effectively regulates corporate profits. You’re wrong about what billionaires could pay for, but after that it looks like you went completely off the tracks. How many presidents have spoken about the need to address Iran’s nuclear ambitions? Yet you’re going with “it was manufactured?” For profit? Inconceivably narrow minded. Some more of the same. The justices noted on the opinion you are referring to, that it applies to the presidency, not a particular person. It is historic, and the only manageable way to operate.
  12. I believe you should familiarize yourself with the 2010 midterms. Imagine all that attention to the “few BILLION “ while ignoring the hundreds of billions in fraud and corruption. I remember just last year the dimocrax shut down the gov’t because they wanted to add another $150 billion to the debt. Gov’t jobs, jobs for illegals, and H-1Bs are not economically sustaining. Data collection leaves a lot to be desired in most cases. I can’t remember the last time dimocrax offered a proposal that focused on liberty and prosperity for Americans.
  13. You are responding to a c&p that I posted as a convenience for those who wouldn’t or couldn’t read the Xitter quoted, as if it was written by me. I do however, agree with it more than I agree with your take. I understand lots of dimocrax are upset that Trump has made some money, but I haven’t seen that any of it has been illegal. When folks mention corruption and fraud, do they indicate whether they’re referring to the Nancy Polosi type, or the Biden crime family type, or the Learing Center type? Dimocrax haven’t shown any desire to lower gas and diesel prices, just look at California and Washington state. Given we’re already $40,000,000,000,000 in debt, and unable to afford the programs already in place, what do you think dimocrax can or will do, to address affordability? Or do you think investigations and hearings will assuage voters and prevent them from throwing this bunch out come 2028?
  14. Stephen Miller
  15. I might check him out, where do you find him?
  16. That’s on the voters. They voted against the people who might have helped them. What they have coming is a House that can pass anything they like, but when it gets to the Senate it will require cooperation from Republicans to get to the President’s desk, and even more so if he vetoes it. Which means eliminating the filibuster doesn’t mean much. With the dimocrax history concerning high fuel prices, regulations regarding home construction, immigrants that occupy the tenancies, what relief do those voters expect to get from dimocrax? Even if they were to get some new ‘projects’ approved, they’d likely be completed about the same time as the high speed rail.
  17. I thought it was a samwitch.
  18. Phillybuster
  19. Rumors: Jeffries and Schumer will be booted.
  20. Let me check my calendar.
  21. I doubt DeSantis will take any position in this administration and believe he will be a formidable candidate for’28, as will JD and Marcus O Rubius. Also rans might be Cotton, Cruz, Hawley, and Pompeo. A profound move for Republicans during this lame duck would be to expedite the confirmation of Mike Lee and Ted Cruz to replace Alito and Thomas on the Court. While the next president will likely be Republican, the Senate may not.
  22. How long will this last?
