Unfortunate timing.

Quote:
Writing on Twitter on Tuesday,(Lauren) Boebert declared that "the Biden Crime Family will go down as the most corrupt political family in American history."

Shortly afterward, her 18-year-old son Tyler Boebert was arrested and charged with four counts of criminal possession of a financial device, four counts of criminal possession of ID documents, and a count of conspiracy to commit a felony.


Although it's not like we have her son filtering money to her. But of course, we need a congressional inquiry to find out. j/k.

I recommend taking all your savings and placing a huge bet that Donny wins all these states. Think of all the money you’ll win!

This is so ridiculous! The Democrats truly deserve whatever they get, at this point. I know they're floating the ability for individual states to remove Trump from the ballot, but Biden won Colorado by 13.5% and Illinois by 17%; the only thing they are doing is continuing to make Trump a sympathetic figure.

Correct. You can never underestimate the stupidity of Democrat ‘strategists’. They are almost as stupid as Republican ‘strategists’. Both parties are using strategies that make them feel good rather than actually helping to win an election.

All I see is more pressure for SCOTUS to make a decision on the matter. They have the Colorado case already.

Trump will never have more people vote for him than Biden or any Democrat. If he wins it will be an electoral college victory. (Trump has never won the popular vote, and that will not change now.)
And with your EC system, do you think that will hold him back.

That is kind of the point of being a Republic and not a Democracy. If it was "just" the actual vote, the states with lower populations would get crapped on constantly by the states that hold the majority of people. The founders knew that and put together a system that protects against that at least to some point.

Our problem is not Trump or Biden overall at this point...the real problem is the Professional Politicians in Congress. Though Biden was formerly one of them, he is just one part of the equation. The bigger problem is the bureaucracies that have come about because Congress doesn't do the job of keeping them somewhat in check and spends most of their time doing nothing while acting like whatever they are doing is the most important thing in the world.

The Congress, by never really solving anything with compromises that make sense, has failed horribly.

Congress should work 10 out of 14 days in DC year round. Maybe a week off in the summer and one at Christmas. There are over 500 of them; they could investigate everyone and work on real issues, too.
