Thank you. I branch out on various topics but I try to stay out of back and forth sniping. That’s hard to do on forums… 😎 I don’t read as much anymore but I have read hundreds of books on various topics. Years ago a guy sent me a private message asking what law firm I worked for and he was in one pretty good firm in Houston or something like that. I sent him a message that I was a police officer. He was like… WHAT?? 🤣🤣🤣

It’s prosecute, not persecute. You were thinking the Democrats. How? He will be in charge of the largest investigation and prosecution organization in the US.

So they don’t want to be in that crab bucket….

Another thought to ponder. The Democrats hate to lose (who doesn’t) but they are willing to legally “cheat” the system in order to gain their agenda. Our government was created to make enacting laws and changing the Constitution difficult. Both houses and especially the Senate have rules in place to protect from a congressional dictatorship or monopoly. By the Constitution, each house can make or change its own rules. The Senate rules allow for a filibuster or continued talk by a senator who is not limited in time like the House Representatives are. Over 100 years ago the Senate enacted a rule called Cloture. If 60 senators voted to end a debate or filibuster, they could. So basically it only takes 51 votes as a simply majority in the Senate to pass a bill but it takes 60 to force a vote. So even a minority party might still be able to prevent a bill from passing or at least until they get a compromise. The only way out of Cloture requirement “without” a 60 vote majority required, is the nuclear option. It is a loophole in the Senate rules in order to get around the rules. Obama was having a hard time getting his progressive judge nominations passed by the Senate due to the Republicans not agreeing to enact Cloture. The Republicans were blocking many Obama nominated judges from taking office. That is the system, however. Harry Reid as the Senate Majority Leader threatened to use the nuclear option if Republicans kept using their authority to hold up the vote. Reid was warned by the Republicans to play by the rules and not use the nuclear option which was legal but a direct overriding of the Senate rules. Reid was told that the Democrats would not be in office forever and if they used it to get federal judges passed, so would the Republicans in a future Congress. Reid said to heck with it and used the option. They got some federal judges approved. Fast forward to Trump’s first term. The Republicans took over the Senate but did not have the 60 votes to enact Cloture and get Trump‘s Supreme Court nominees passed. Guess what? Yep, the Republicans used the nuclear option to get Gorsuch, Kavanaugh and Barrett put on the Court. The Dems cried, we didn’t want THOSE federal justices confirmed with the nuclear option. We just wanted OUR federal judges to be confirmed that way. Oops! Oh well, you were warned. So to the Dems complaining about the current Court ruling against their wishes….. you can thank the Senate Democrats. So a little over a year ago, the Democrats in the Senate wanted to change the rules and completely eliminate the filibuster. That would mean that in any future Congress, a mere 51 vote, simple majority could enact any law in the Senate. Only Democratic Senator Joe Manchin voted no and did not support the other Democrats. He believed that the rules were in place for a reason and it should apply to everyone. He knew that the Democrats would not always be in charge and they would pay the price later like they already have. So by one vote the filibuster was maintained as a Senate rule. Most recently, Kamala Harris suggested using the nuclear option for abortions on demand. Okkkayyyyyy……. So now, since the end of the filibuster was defeated by Manchin, Harris believes that any law is not subject to the filibuster simply by using the nuclear option on everything. If you don’t like the way of vote would go and you don’t want to compromise with the other party, simply vote on it with the nuclear option!! Of course Harris thought that she would win so if there was a tie in the Senate, Walz would be the tiebreaker just asc shecwas. Oops! So now the Republicans have Senate. It appears that they may take the House. If they control both houses, they could have now pass any bill into law with single vote in both houses and Trump would likely sign it, had Harris and the Democrats gotten they way.. Luckily for the Democrats, Joe Machin prevented that future disaster. Remember that there was talk of stacking the Supreme Court by the Democrats adding more members like maybe a 15 justice Court. The Democrats don’t like to play by the rules, but as always happens, the ball eventually goes to the other side of the court. Oops, now the ball is in Trump’s side of the court. If the Democrats had gotten their way, Trump could start enacting any law that he wished with almost no repercussions. I wonder how the Democrats would have liked that?

I agree that the Republicans need to move on. If they find a real crime like a criminal coverup like Watergate? Sure. Trying to dig into the law books to try and discover a crime that can be stretched into a prosecution won’t be in the best interest of the country or the GOP. No need to turn to Democrats’ tactics.

Is that a tacit admission of what happened?

Ever seen the movie Born In East L.A.? 🤣

I have almost completely avoided commenting on the election in these forums. I have avoided most politics threads. So with it over, these are my thoughts. The Democrats are all about identity politics, period. Not only about identity of potential voters but about candidates. That doomed them. They have twice chosen a female to run with their banner but was either the best candidate or even the best woman candidate? No. Clinton’s primary was rigged and Harris had no primary. When Harris ran in 2020 she could not even muster the support to win a single delegate. Let that sink in. The Democrats resoundingly rejected Harris four years ago. In my opinion the Democrats through Clinton, created Trump. In a normal election Trump should never have stood a chance in 2016 but against one of the worst candidates in history, the coronation of the first woman president didn’t happen. Was Clinton the best Democrat in the country? It only came down to a socialist in Bernie Sanders and “the first woman”. Why didn’t anyone (big names) else run? It isn’t rocket science. The fix for Clinton and the super delegates was in. No Democrat with future aspirations would dare jump in and risk a defeat. Jump to 2024 and it was rigged again to break the glass ceiling. Of course someone could ignore that it was kind of a shock that Biden dropped out after he had secured the nomination but in smoke filled rooms this was the plan all along. Harris could not run against her boss so the Dems had to back him but then a couple of months before the election, force him out and install Harris without having her run. They hoped the bump would hold but it started fading quickly. They couldn’t wait to name her however because the DNC convention was looming and the call behind the scenes was forced in order for Harris to basically be selected (not elected) unopposed st the convention. It was now or never. Like Clinton, was Harris the best Democrat candidate? I think the result last night was a resounding no. So who best Harris? According to the Democrats it was a guy who had the baggage of… Orangeman bad Mean tweets Twice impeached Convicted on felonies Sued for issues many years ago Insurrectionist Abortion rights removal by the Supreme Court and Trump appointed justices Fascist Hitler Garbage Will overturn the Constitution on his first day in office A threat to democracy Etc. And yet, Harris got thumped. How could anyone think that Trump could win with such (claimed) baggage… but he did. That tells you how bad and delusional the Democrats are. With all of the baggage, how could the Democrat candidate not have won a record breaking landslide like Reagan in 1984? Easy. By selecting a person based on boxes checked. The Democrats created Donald Trump and their internally rigged elections have come back to them. This was not a Donald Trump win. It was a resounding Democrat loss.

But you’re not good a math!! 🤣🤣🤣

Legend might not cover it!

Only according to Fox News…. No other major news….. Oops, NBC just called PA for Trump.
