dunlopp9987 Posted November 9, 2022 Report Share Posted November 9, 2022 Well, not the "red tsunami" that Republicans were expecting! It looks likely they'll take back the house, but the Senate could theoretically still stay blue. I think it'll come down to another run-off in Georgia.

Sometimes I'm rather proud of this state. On the other hand, Marjorie Taylor Greene was just re-elected for the district in which I live. dunlopp9987 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dunlopp9987 Posted November 9, 2022 Report Share Posted November 9, 2022 What I'm really excited for is the republican party tearing itself apart trying to decide between Desantis and Trump. Desantis' performance last night surely puts him at the front of the line, but this is the party of Trump. Grab your popcorn, friends!

Desantis' performance last night surely puts him at the front of the line, but this is the party of Trump. Grab your popcorn, friends! While I despise Donald Trump more than any other politician and view him as genuinely evil, I have to admire his marketing ability. Before he became president, his nicknames for opponents were very effective. "Little Marco" completely undermined Senator Rubio's experience, depicting him as an innocent young thing trying to play in a world of grown-ups. Of course, "Sleepy Joe" resonated with his supporters as he attacked then candidate Biden. Trump has missed the mark with Desantis, though, because his chosen name DeSanctimonious has no real bite.

Was always coming, wasn't it. Rumors are that he chose to do it this early because it shields him from potential criminal proceedings. Because this is much earlier than candidates usually announce. The republican infighting between camp Trump and camp Desantis is going to be absolutely unbelievable to watch. I cannot wait.

I don't see Trump bowing out gracefully even though DeSantis is a stronger candidate for their party as a whole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeO Posted January 5, 2023 Report Share Posted January 5, 2023 This speaker election stuff is getting ridiculous - also, why does the clerk have to get a verbal vote from every bloody member?

MikeO Posted January 5, 2023 Report Share Posted January 5, 2023 Absolute joke, that's eight votes now with nobody budging. How does this get sorted? Now we're back to the farcical sight of the same guys being nominated in horrible obsequious language; the republican claiming to have a tear in his eye in the last round of nominations was hilarious, and the fact that his fellow repubs gave him an ovation for such fakery was even funnier. UK plc is fucked but the US is providing some light entertainment at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s an absolute waste of time. No doubt McCarthy made a ton of concessions to his on party on spots for committees, future votes, etc. A handful of the ultra far-right have him by the balls now. Pathetic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Money matters more to these politicians than people's lives. They're banning drag shows etc in the name of protecting children (laughable in itself) but when they could do something that would actually protect children? The best they can do is offer thoughts and prayers. dunlopp9987 and Sibdane 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palfy Posted March 31, 2023 Report Share Posted March 31, 2023 I’ve read even if he is found guilty it doesn’t mean he can’t stand for the next presidency. The craziness of this world and those in it I can’t help thinking being indicted and being found guilty or not is going to make even more popular and help him regain the presidency.

Popular Post Sibdane Posted March 31, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 31, 2023 I still don't think anything will happen to him. His following secretly loves this because, to them, it proves Trump was "right" when he said they were after him from the beginning. They view him as a shining beacon of hope and that he's the only person who is just and can fix the mess that is US politics. It makes me sick. He's everything that's wrong with politics in this country. Literally EVERYTHING. Lindsey Graham, Kevin McCarthy, et al. are all crying about how unfair this is and how this is an effort from the democrats to stiffle an oppontent all the while completely forgetting how Trump's whole mantra was "Lock Her Up" when facing Hilary (still shouted at his rallies) and claiming the Bidens have sold secrets to Ukraine and should also be behind bars. The hypocrisy of it all is mind-numbing. Palfy, MikeO, Matt and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
