What's new

2020 Presidential election

Yep. That’s the game. Senate republicans are cutting bait with trump and are already working to undermine the Biden administration... to the detriment of our entire economy.

Tell me again how both sides are the same! LOL


Why don’t Republicans want to pass a stimulus bill? Why do they want to hurt the economy? Why do Republicans hate American workers?

Remember, before we both sides this as we always do, understand which party is refusing to help American workers and businesses during a pandemic because they want to hurt this new president.



Both sides are NOT the same.
 
Seriously, though. Are there any mainstream Protestants left in the US? Lutherans, Episcopalians, whatever your equivalent of our United Church of Canada is?

My wife is Protestant. Children too. Feel like they’re pretty mainstream.
 
One thing is clear. Neither the Dems/Libs/Repubs give a single **** about the average working American.
Both parties are the same, right? Like Dems don’t give a **** about the average working American, right?



The sooner we lose the “both sides are the same” narrative and start accurately blaming republicans and their failed anti government pro corporate welfare policies, the better.

Does anyone actually have a source with a reliable line on what McConnell is looking for?

It looks like we'd need seven more senators to block a fillibuster on the vote. Of all people, Sens. Kelly Loeffler, R-Ga.; David Perdue, R-Ga.; Lindsey Graham, R-S.C.; Josh Hawley, R-Mo.; and Marco Rubio, R.-Fla. are for the 2k as is.

Unreliable news sources report the blackmail items to be

Trump
  1. Section 230 of the communications decency act
  2. Election Security(note; not seemingly existing)
McConnell
  1. Overriding Trump's veto of the NDAA

When the **** has mcconnell ever had to
Provide one? Seriously. I’ve lost patience with his “leadership” and the horrible reporting that the media gives him. They make him sound like he’s some genius. He isn’t. All he does is block any and all bills proposed by Democrats and/or legislation that would help average people and pass bills that enrich Republican donors. That’s it. He’s just a greedy ************* that would’ve been exposed had he been a politician pre-Reagan. Instead, he’s seen as a genius because right wing media promotes this lie and the MSM is too busy pissing its pants over fear of being labeled “liberal media.” So they overcompensate by attempting g to balance its coverage rather than accurately reporting the news. Perfect example: Rick Santorum still appears on cnn. Why? Another example? Why doesn’t Mitch ever have to explain away these decisions while Nancy is blasted for having ice cream in a freezer?

Mitch isn’t a genius. He has no agenda. He’s just a greedy cynical greedy dude who wants to enrich himself and his wealthy friends/donors. The world will be a much better place when Rush, Rupert, Donald, and Mitch are 6 feet underground. I don’t wish anything bad to happen to them but good riddance when it does (rush has maybe a few months left)
 
A little off topic but Nancy Pelosi house was vandalized. The vandals spray painted "2K" (referring to the stimulus im sure) and "We want everything" and "Cancel Rent" and there was an anarchy symbol (i think, it was a capital A with a circle around it) and a pigs head and fake blood strewn about.

Nice happy new year surprise for her.
 

“Their work touched every aspect of the election. They got states to change voting systems and laws and helped secure hundreds of millions in public and private funding. They fended off voter-suppression lawsuits, recruited armies of poll workers and got millions of people to vote by mail for the first time. They successfully pressured social media companies to take a harder line against disinformation and used data-driven strategies to fight viral smears. They executed national public-awareness campaigns that helped Americans understand how the vote count would unfold over days or weeks, preventing Trump’s conspiracy theories and false claims of victory from getting more traction. After Election Day, they monitored every pressure point to ensure that Trump could not overturn the result. “The untold story of the election is the thousands of people of both parties who accomplished the triumph of American democracy at its very foundation,” says Norm Eisen, a prominent lawyer and former Obama Administration official who recruited Republicans and Democrats to the board of the Voter Protection Program”.
 
Nikki Haley and Mitt Romney are on the short list, but Mike Pence is at the top of the list.

I'd vote for Nikki Haley over Biden.

I'd go for Mitt Romney over Biden.

Big no on Pence, the enabler.

This is why I can't stand Haley. She doesn't have any principles. Just a few weeks ago she said:


Now that she's seen the polling and she's doing this:



She makes Romney look like he has a backbone.

Sorry, but anyone who's supported Trump should be disqualified from receiving a presidential vote. The guy was horrible in 2015. Was horrible in 2016. And s horrible in 2021. Anyone with such ****** judgement to not see his danger to our democracy doesn't ever deserve to be in the White House

I don't want them disqualified. I want them to run, and I want their opponents to make sure that we all remember that they supported Trump and the Big Lie, and I want them to lose so badly that no one will ever try this crap again.

That’s what I mean. I don’t care what their qualifications are or what they say now. Their lack of courage, character, and poor judgement disqualify them from ever receiving my vote.

Example 1,847,486,947 of why I can’t support Nikki Haley. Her ambition is unmatched. She’ll do anything for power and attention. Lie, cheat, sellout, whatever she needs to become president in 2024:

 
For those who actually want to learn about the subject that (ignorant) Stoked commented on. Florida has a long dark history of suppressing the vote of minorities. The recent poll tax which will prevent recently released ex-felons is nothing more than a far right ploy to prevent disproportionately effected minority voters who tend to vote for democrats from voting. Facts matter:



https://www.themiamihurricane.com/2...x-puts-the-progress-of-amendment-4-in-danger/

And

https://www.washingtonpost.com/nati...tory-floridas-now-repealed-ban-felons-voting/
I Warned you. It’s a poll tax.

Ex-felons who thought they could vote because of the passed ballot initiative giving them back their right to vote, are now being prosecuted for voter fraud. When people claim that DeSantis is “moderate” don’t believe them. You get the same cruelty and authoritarianism of Trumpism without Trump.


Heartbreaking! These folks have paid their debt to society. Then Florida claims they have addition fees to put for but then doesn’t specify how much they are. Ex-felons register and vote thinking that they’re eligible to do so now. And now they’re getting hit with additional felony charges. Why? Because the cruelty is the point and the majority are black. We know what Republicans think of black people.
In the 2020 presidential election, she voted. It was the first time Oliver, 55, ever did. “It was exciting for me because I felt like after all that time, I want to get out and try to do the right thing,” she said. “Give back to the community.” On Thursday morning, Oliver was arrested on a charge of voting as an unqualified elector and false affirmation. That afternoon, Gov. Ron DeSantis touted the arrests of 20 people, Oliver included, who had voted despite having a felony conviction for murder or a sex offense.
“We’ve been banging this drum for years,” Volz said. “If you can’t trust the government to tell you whether you’re eligible in the front end, how can you prosecute somebody in the back end?” The rollout of Amendment 4 in Florida was marred by confusion and legal wrangling after DeSantis pushed state lawmakers to pass a bill that required felons to pay off all fines and fees and restitution before being able to vote, even though Florida has no central database to track court fees. A judge referred to it as an “administrative nightmare.”
