Are you claiming the democrats are committing crimes?

Also this is among the worst performances of a party out of presidential power in a long time. Have you considered that the voters dislike conservative policies and do you think republicans should move left to become more mainstream?

The Republicans have to realize that at some point they have to actually have some sort of policy. Currently their policy is to be against anything the Democrats stand for. That, and taking away personal rights of women, LGBTQ, taking away the SS and Medicare that millions have worked their entire lives, etc. The astonishing thing is that in spite of this they still had enough people vote for them to retake the House. Their only success during Trump's tenure as President was to install numerous whack federal judges including those on the SC and a massive tax cut for the uber rich. Not exactly a chicken in every pot for all Americans.
 
I think this will all come out in the wash, as they say.
People are going to regret having voted for republicans especially in the house races. And in states like CA and NY we will see a huge amount of regrets. Painful regrets. People will regret their misguided decision to vote republican, and will regret their anger with taking high gas prices out on the democrats.
On the plus side, America will be very pissed at these republicans in oh say about two years, just in time to punish republicans at the polls in the next election.

Politics is a strange animal. I would bet that health issues will stop Biden from running for a second term, and someone new will come along to energize democrats. Most likely someone that will surprise everyone. Lets hope.

I hope you are right about someone good coming out of the weeds, because to me (at least) the current crop of Dem candidates other than Biden are either not ready yet or are "B" stock at best.

I've been thinking about something regarding Florida.. the one state where Gen Z didn't really show up.. was thinking about why?

Christ..
Boring? Maybe.
Lacking Charisma? Likely
Former Republican? Definitely
Advocating Pro-Life? Yeppers
Appealing to Republicans? OMG Yes

The lesson of Florida is that trying to appeal to Republicans is not the way to go.

Even Miami Dade flipped Red.

Probably the snowbirds, if I were to guess.

It was part of my pay and benefits. They teach me a skill set in trade for me killing people with nuclear weapons on command. 😛

Look you may or may not agree. Military pay is low for what you are required to do. Transfer and move your entire family every few years. Going on long deployments away from family and friends, my longest was 7 months with an expecting wife back home. I didn't even see my son until he was a month old. Going to sea on submarines with no contact at all with anyone for 90 days at a time. Get called in to work and leave for a few weeks or longer without any notice given.

In return I received top quality training, pay, medical & dental care, housing or housing allowance, meals or meal allowance and after 20 years I receive 50% of my highest pay for the rest of my life. Medical coverage (Tricare / Tricare for life) for my wife and myself. Oh and lets not leave out the GI Benefits for school which I did not use as I already had an excellent career as an electronics tech lined up. I have since retired from that also and receive a company pension. Social Security & Medicare which I paid into for 50 years. No teat sucking going on at all. It was a contractual agreement between uncle Sam and myself. I do my part and then he does his.

Sorry that all the youngsters have hurt feelings. No pain no gain.

I wonder how long you'll have that pension with your beloved GOP cutting entitlement spending. You know gotta pay for tax cuts to the rich!

See it could have taught you got to actually make a witty comeback instead of just repeating what was said to you. That's what happens when you actually get exposed to ideas and diverse stories and history and facts.

So If I went to college I could learn how to make witty comebacks.

Wow I really missed out in life.

Damn it! 😡


I have traveled the world over many times. You cannot imagine how much I have been exposed to ideas, diverse stories, history and facts. Also diverse peoples and cultures.

I mean yes. Having just the bare amount of intellect would be useful in not just parroting things, whether a comeback or not. You clearly just parrot shit all the time. This is just yet another example.

You were stuck traveling while stuck in your ways. All you saw on the outside was frightening to you. It's clear by your ideas, constant lying, deflecting and spreading nonsense. A lot of people travel but they see nothing. You are a perfect example. You were forced to travel, it's not like you actually had an open mind and sadly enough, traveling did nothing for you, like it hasn't done for many, which is on full display here.

You are so full of hate, yet you attempt to belittle me and my experiences that you know absolutely nothing about. Just sad. I do hope you get better.

Damn straight I hate you.

Thanks. Life is pretty damn good, minus the tens of millions of horrific GQP shitheads like yourself trying to destroy what is decent and good about this country. I dunno, it kind of gets to me. Weird.

Well if it going to take getting rid of the GOP for you to improve. Well you are just going to have to embrace the hate as it seems you already have.
