King Heffy Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 6 minutes ago, VegasCanuck said: It's about keeping the peace. Transitioning between administration without Trump getting people riled up and rioting etc would be an attractive option for Biden. Even if they convict Trump more on other charges, it's not easy to put him in Prison. You still need to put secret service people there to protect him. If he was to agree to plead out, face something like probation and some other restrictions, it's a deal that could happen. You could also just take the secret service away and let him fend for himself in gen pop, which is the better solution. Send a strong message that his crimes against humanity are not acceptable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RupertKBD Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 Some good news out of Arizona. (I know, it felt weird even typing it).... https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/politics/arizona-attorney-general-first-fake-elector-agreed-to-flip-in-maga-election-plot-case/ar-AA1o9lWu?ocid=hpmsn&cvid=db44f85814994e8b9d89dedf6043189a&ei=24 Quote One of the "fake electors" indicted in Arizona for the plot to overturn the election results in that state has agreed to cooperate with prosecutors, state Attorney General Kris Mayes said Friday. "We are going to have a very significant announcement to make early next week," Mayes told 12 News' "Sunday Square Off." When she was asked if this means one of the electors plans to flip, she said, "I think that's accurate," and added, "We're making progress in the case, and we feel good about the case." 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only remember because Silver was the biggest reason that I thought that Hillary was going to win that election. I prefer an amalgamation and averaging of the major independent non-partisan polls. Those still have the race as a toss-up with at least half of the swing states too close to call. You don't consider 270-268 a toss up?

I don't care which of the two becomes president so long as neither party has complete control. If the Republicans take back the Senate, and keep the House, I want Kamala to win. If the Democrats pull off a near miracle and keep the Senate and take back the House, I want Trump to get the White House. If the House and Senate splits between the two parties, Kamala and Donny Boy can have a pistol duel in the Rose Garden at high noon to decide the presidency for all I care. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am assuming your thought is that divide the power so neither party can ram stuff thru. But that means more of a slide downward as they spend to buy votes. How about the other scenario of one party taking all three? Not sure where the voice of sober 2nd thought would come from but there it is.

Not sure where the voice of sober 2nd thought would come from but there it is. I've seen one side take all 3 before both ways. They cram whatever they want down everyone's throats. It will just piss off the other side to the point where they retaliate by becoming more extreme in their views. That's how the Tea Party was born and gained power. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RupertKBD Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 @Sabrefan1, the other day I mentioned an article that exposed Republican efforts to disenfranchise voters in Georgia....I found the article. I'll start off by saying that it's from a decidedly left leaning outlet called Alternet and the author leaves no doubt as to what he thinks about Kemp and other Republicans, but I checked other sources and the facts of the article are supported by several sources, including AP. The voter cancellation website mentioned in the article does exist and the leak of personal voter data did happen. (Confirmed by the Georgia Recorder) The article is too long to post, but I suggest reading the entire thing....it's an eye opener. https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/world/inside-georgia-s-newest-breathtaking-voter-suppression-scam-opinion/ar-AA1obB4l?ocid=hpmsn&cvid=ba0fa627c60045308ca8f7814c03a30a&ei=20 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They spent more time investigating Hunters dick picks than anything else. The QOP constantly puts the government in danger whenever budget deadlines come up. A bipartisan border deal. Nope. Healthcare reform. Nope. Healthcare for vets. Let's play politics with that. I can go on When the QOP ran the Senate, there were hundreds of bills, many meaningful legislation that died on Mitch's desk. One Senator's vote away from preACA Healthcare. They even blocked SCOTUS appointment. In no reasonable world are the QOP fit for anything. 2 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
