What, exactly, can they do without 50 reliable senators?
Maybe. Maybe not. Red states have women who like the right to an abortion should they want one. We don't know if people getting locked up behind the attack on the Capital will cost or gain GOP votes....
There are more horses still to be stolen. Locking the door might save them.
Yes, and no. It's to show that voting matters. It matters for voters to KNOW one party is better for them than the other party is.
It's also important for people to realize, which many appear not...
48 out of 50 democratic senators voted for progress. NO GOP senators did.
Trump's court nominees would not have been confirmed.
Voting rights laws protecting votes would have passed.
Abortion would still be covered by Roe.
EPA would have ability to do its work
...
My question is one of when people loyal to Trump realize it's a one way street.
Let us not let terminology get in the way of solving the problem.
I don't know if he'll be prosecuted or not, but he, himself, seems to be losing support.
Come election time, it's impossible, IMO, to predict what the republican voters who are tired of trump will...
I expect (hope) more will follow. I hope everyone pays the price for what they did.
Perhaps you'd explain what being a conservative means today. It seems to mean opposing raising wages, providing healthcare, etc. and/or giving tax cuts to the top 10%.
In a just world, Trump would have been convicted in the senate.
Obama was the victim of lies; like him not being born in the USA.
Republicans in the senate LIED about the ACA, and the dem who followed had to correct the lies of the republican who just spoke:...
The democrats only have 48 senators they can count on. IF THE PUBLIC REALIZES THIS, perhaps they'll vote for more democrats.
November's election actually is the most important of my lifetime....
It's long been my opinion that legislation should require a simple majority, but something more should be needed to put a judge on a bench.
I think the National Anthem is to tell everyone the game's about to start.
Everyone I know that ever confesses to praying prayed for something, be it different hair, passing an exam, etc......
I guess the question is one of what those who voted for her opponent in the primary will do in the general.
FOX news is relatively recent.
Watergate is often cited. At that time everyone may have held varied opinions, but, near as I can remember, all had the same set of facts. That's not the case...
I've said often; lies are what's wrong with our system.
People will believe what they wish if given different sets of 'facts' to choose from.
I knew many, for example, who believed the...
Seems she has four primary opponents all of whom are election deniers.
If that vote is split four ways, she may win her primary.
Here's the problem with that. I've often asked questions along the lines of, "Why does God not keep people safe inside a house of worship?"
The answer comes that He never gets involved in the...
I have often heard: "there but for the grace of God go I". One would think believing this would lead one to have compassion and understanding for those who are injured or different. Instead, I see a...
He could end this by simply answering the questions.
Were you a fan of the insurrection on January 6th ?
1 Did Mr Biden legitimately win the 2020 presidential election? If not, why not?
2....
Would anyone on this forum acquit a defendant on that defense?
Sadly they are beholden to large donors. Money talks.
The ONLY solution, which is unlikely, is to elect enough democrats so the filibuster won't matter.
Trump has destroyed most everything he's touched. He managed to get 3 extreme justices onto the court, with McConnell's help.
The court is taking us back to the dark ages.
The only way out of...
Saw a piece last night on how this woman changed lawyers before testifying so completely and honestly.
Seems many would be witnesses have lawyers being paid by Trump, as her old lawyer had been....
This is true, but I'd add, again, that our system relies on informed voters. Misinformed voters are going to be the downfall of the system.
Please answer Joe's questions:
Were you a fan of the insurrection on January 6th ?
1 Did Mr Biden legitimately win the 2020 presidential election? If not, why not?
2. What do you think of the...
Agreed!
Is that even possible? When people pray, don't they ask for something?
Strange thing, this religious stuff. On one hand, when I ask things such as, "Why does God not protect people inside of house...
Not long ago, the issue was prayer before the game.
I don't care if people pray, as long as they don't try to force me to. I've often been at affairs where, prior to eating, someone decides to bless the meal. A few have the courtesy to ask if anyone...
Striking out is simply not getting a gift? OH no, then the pitcher gets to thank God.
I thought God doesn't get involved.
In my world, if you give one an assignment, it is reasonably assumed one gets the tools necessary do carry out that assignment.
Would you send men into war without weapons?
Why does anyone thing this country is immune to the destruction of Trump?
You can say that about any member of a party that hasn't enough votes to pass something into law.
World is changing. I moved in 2005. Prior to moving I was a member of the South Orange Seaport Society. We sailed electric/steam/wind powered R/C models in the South Orange duck pond. We held weekly...
Trump's destroyed most everything he's touched.
Now we get to watch as we lose rights, and the EPA has no "umph".
He may be gone, but the damage he's done will continue.
I disagree, The security people are there to protect the person who hold the office.
I find it amazing how many believe the GOP is for LESS government in our lives as it is putting MORE government in our lives.
What they do does not match what they say.
I actually wrote her this letter:
Dear Congresswoman,
"I live in NJ, and I cannot vote for you, but I do hope you’ll read this letter.
I never in my life believed...
I've seen BB players thank God when they hit a homer, but never blame him when they strike out. Pretty good gig.
She came out of 'nowhere' and suddenly found herself in the House. She's smart, and she learns.
Every time this subject comes up, I find myself with two questions.
Does praying help the team win more games and/or suffer fewer injuries? If not, what's the point?
When young, I listened to the rock stations. Music changed. I found country stations, and enjoyed them. They disappeared and/or the music changed.
I stopped listening to the radio, and just put...
Is their specific job not to protect the president?
I expect he'll be taken to court if and when they have an extremely strong case. More likely, a lot of those who did his bidding will end up in jail and he will not.
