I think Biden is big time compromised.

Musk is like a kid in a candy store. I will bet that he walks around chuckling every day. I mentioned it above, but watching some of his videos are hilarious. Him trolling Bill Gates was great. The more people whine, the more fun he has.

I have watched quite a few Musk short videos that pop up on my Facebook feed. The guy is a freaking riot. He is entertaining to say the least.

I don’t disagree with your premise but…. (and “but” almost always means, it is what I claim it isn’t so I will say it anyway ) Yes homosexuals might be “openly” living in sin but how many of the clergy are doing sinful things? Noticing the speck of sawdust in my eye while ignoring the plank in yours doesn’t count just for sex. I can assure you that in my dealings in police work (and on occasion personal knowledge) with members of the clergy were certainly not unheard of. Do I personally want to attend a church being led by someone that I don’t agree with? No but that is a personal choice. Are there other churches led by people that are also committing sins? You betcha!! One is just more blatantly open and maybe more disgusting as it certainly makes some people squeamish.

I don’t feel like doing a lot of research but I kept an eye on the polls leading up to the election. A lot of predictions are based on trends from prior elections and not just raw data. An example might be that the Democrat candidate got X% in the same poll (such as Gallup) in the last election. So maybe Gallup had the Democrat candidate up by 15% but he/she won by 10%. The Democrat candidate still won but the poll was skewed in favor of the Democrat. Let’s say that that same trend from the same poll showed the same bias but the last 4 elections. Generally speaking it would be easy to conclude that the polling company almost always overestimates the Democrats by 5%. So if the same poll showed the Democrat up by 3% it would be an easy conclusion that the Republican might be ahead. Polls in politics are like football polls. It is interesting but doesn’t count for anything other than discussion. Look at the coronation of Hillary Clinton that the Dems were so sure to win. So if most major polls showed a trend toward the Republicans in this election, considering prior comparison polls, did the Republicans underperform or were the opinion polls just wrong… or did a last minute lie tip the scales such as Biden and Clyburn saying that Democracy would end up like Nazi Germany…. with a majority of the public not even understanding what he was saying but it must be bad. That leads to this thread and Trump. Trump was a hinderance to the Republicans!! Or was he….. No Republican incumbent senator lost. From what I have read, Trump gave Zeldin in NY his complete endorsement against Hochul. Hochul won so Trump hurt Zeldin? In the 2018 NY governor’s race, Republican candidate got 36% of the vote in what is a very liberal state. In 2010 the Republican candidate got 33% and in 2014 they didn’t even hold a primary. In this election Zeldin got 47% of the vote. Was it a repudiation of Trump or did the Trump endorsement give Zeldin a fighting chance. Let’s see, the last 3 NY gubernatorial elections for the Republicans resulted in 33%, no primary and 36%…. then 47% after a Trump endorsement. That is often the flaw in looking at one result without analyzing the cause of the result. Hochul won so therefore Trump hurt Zeldin…. Hmmm….. I suppose if you ignore the prior two decades of Democratic wins by up to almost 2 to 1 margins. I guess the Democrat and anti Trump Republicans would have you believe that the Democrats are so bad that if Trump had stayed on the sidelines, the Republicans would have annihilated them. Perhaps that is true but for that conclusion you have to admit how very bad the Democrats are right now.

He can claim all he wants. Political parties are private businesses, unlike elections. The DNC admitted after the 2016 election that it was rigged for Hillary to win the primary. Oh well…….

Vote harvesting is criminal. Is your suggestion that Republicans resort to crimes to counteract the other side?

Ranked choice makes a lot of sense. It is a toss up which system is better but ranked choice has its merits.

Both houses. That is 67 senators and 291 representatives. Good luck….

This if the situation. It looks like the Republicans will control the House with about a 98% certainty at this point. It looks like the Democrats will control the Senate with about a 98% certainty at this point. The Republican minimum goal was to take at least one house. That would effectively kill any legislation for the next 2 years without their consent. Any legislation will have to be bipartisan. The next goal would be to take both houses. The benefit of taking the Senate would be that any nominations by Biden would have to get Republican approval. For the most part that is not that big of a deal unless Biden gets to nominate another Supreme Court justice. So the Republicans appear to have taken the House but it isn’t official yet. If that holds up, they have met their goal of ending unrestricted Democrat legislation. They almost had that anyway with the filibuster in the Senate but the Democrats kept pushing to end the filibuster. With controlling either house it ends all doubt. It is assumed that if the Republicans take the House that Kevin McCarthy will be elected as the Speaker of the House. I have seen discussions tonight about a narrow win in the House like if the Republicans only held a 5 vote majority, would give him a hard time keeping 3 RINO Republicans from switching sides on some votes and allowing a bill to pass without Republican approval. That would be incorrect. No bill can come up for a vote without the approval of the Speaker. So even if the Democrats technically had the votes to narrowly pass a bill, McCarthy could kill it by not bringing it up for a vote. Even if McCarthy is able to get bills passed easily, it won’t matter s the Senate will not pass the safe bill without bipartisan support. If the Republicans did manage to ram a bill through in both houses, Biden could simply veto it. So the bottom line has always been to take at least one house while understanding that even with both houses, the Republicans cannot get a law enacted without Biden’s approval. It appears that the Republicans will achieve that goal and effectively kill any free spending without them approving until at least the next presidential election. Unless Biden gets to nominate another Supreme Court justice, the Democrats keeping the Senate is almost nothing more than pride. In my opinion…..

After I turned my card in, I told the workers that we have now gone back to the old punch cards but instead of using the stylus to punch out the corresponding tab, the computer does it for us. They said something like like, yep.

Why is Chicago, Miami, Maricopa County and other Democrat strong locations that seem to continually have trouble??

It’s a good thing we got away from the old punch card ballots to a modern system that is foolproof. They have only had 22 years to work out the bugs…..

I voted at 7:30am. Jefferson County has their new publicized voting machines and system. There was one person voting when I entered and then it was me and 3 workers. And…. they had no record of me by address, name, date of birth, etc. Questions like, how long have you lived at that address? 24 years. Hmmmm….. I told them that I vote in every election and have been to that location for those 20+ years. Apparently the new system lost my voter registration. Hmmmm….. But after about 15 minutes and the poll workers on the phone with the county clerk for several minutes, they found my registration and I got to vote. 😆

Fingers crossed…… 🙃

This article is posted on the website for the National Institute of Health which is under the Department of Health and Human Services just like the CDC. It is a US government website and not a political blog. Here are a couple of excerpts from the article: ”For the first time in American history a president, governors, mayors, hospital administrators and federal bureaucrats are determining medical treatments based not on accurate scientifically based or even experience based information, but rather to force the acceptance of special forms of care and “prevention”—including remdesivir, use of respirators and ultimately a series of essentially untested messenger RNA vaccines.” ”Neither Anthony Fauci, the CDC, WHO nor any medical governmental establishment has ever offered any early treatment other than Tylenol, hydration and call an ambulance once you have difficulty breathing. This is unprecedented in the entire history of medical care as early treatment of infections is critical to saving lives and preventing severe complications. Not only have these medical organizations and federal lapdogs not even suggested early treatment, they attacked anyone who attempted to initiate such treatment with all the weapons at their disposal—loss of license, removal of hospital privileges, shaming, destruction of reputations and even arrest.” ”Worse still is the actual designing of medical articles for promoting drugs and pharmaceutical products that involve fake studies, so-called ghostwritten articles” [Hidden Content]

Ability to speak clearly is like mean tweets. Identity and appearance is what’s important……

Yep…. BG’s argument against Walker should then be the same argument against Fetterman. Any bets on BG believing that Walker should lose but Oz should win?

I am thinking of giving up my guns, paying higher taxes, being forced to buy an electric vehicle after gasoline availability is artificially restricted, trying to be forced to take a vaccine and paying 50% higher prices on food because a woman claimed that Walker paid for an abortion 15 years ago. That seems like a (ir)rational decision.

Oh, I am against him then….. 🤣🤣🤣

I care how he votes and not how he speaks. Hitler was a great orator and inspired much of his country to engage in almost unspeakable acts. He is right up there with the most despicable people in history… but he sure could fire up a crowd. Sorry but I don’t vote on debating skills. I am not sure what there is to admit. If a Democrat said, I am against all gun control, I am against abortions, I am for opening up American fossil fuels production, I think spending should either be cut or at least severely curtailed…. I might be voting for him.
