I'm so embarrassed that residents in this area vote for her overwhelmingly time and again. Her campaign literature is dark, sinister, and paints the US as now being a communist dictatorship, and people believe this nonsense. It stinks that you're stuck in a ruby red district like that. Here in Illinois, I have to deal with Mary Miller as my U.S. house rep and it's not much better as my district is a similar ruby red district. Some of her views on topics are quite something. Had it not been for what happened on January 6, the comments she made the day before would have gotten a lot more publicity around the nation.

You should also read about her husband too. He's a state house rep here (though luckily not mine) and is just about as bad as her. In particular, his "excuse" for having a Three-Percenters decal on his truck was unbelievable. Sibdane and MikeO 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cornish Steve Posted March 11 Author Report Share Posted March 11 Trump is already undermining the US administration. The Hungarian premier met with him and not with the US' actual president. The result was the imply they will force Ukraine to surrender and succumb to Russia's invasion with 24 hours of Trump assuming power. Let's all hope that never happens. If Russia is allowed to win this war, Moldova will be invaded within 6 months. If Trump pulls the US out of NATO, the Baltic states should then become very worried. Finland would also be at risk.

It is, and what's crazy is it is one of the toughest border policies that has ever been introduced. They don't really care about the border; they (particularly Trumpers) just want Biden and the Democrats to appear like they can't get anything done.

MikeO Posted April 10 Report Share Posted April 10 Going by the totally unscientific guide of looking at what odds the bookies are giving, it would seem as if this is going to be very tight. Trump's been favourite for a long time but now it would appear too close to call, is that an accurate picture of what's happening my American friends? I see chaos looming however it goes really, will be crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see chaos looming however it goes really, will be crazy. The decision by the Arizona Supreme Court to uphold an abortion law from the Civil War era (48 years before Arizona was even a state) will be a key issue. Based on how things have gone in similar states when abortion has been an issue on the ballot, it could be huge for Biden as Arizona was considered one of the swing states this year with its 11 electoral votes.

I find it crazy that someone would say that Biden is trying to destroy the US and that Trump isn't/wasn't. It was absolute chaos under Trump. He's the most polarizing president we've had in my lifetime by a wide margin. We are still feeling the negative effects of his one term. He's also a career criminal and should've been no where near the White House in the first place. The diehard Trump fans don't really care about politics or making the country better -- it's more about "owning the libs" to them. dunlopp9987, Palfy, Matt and 3 others 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornish Steve Posted April 15 Author Report Share Posted April 15 Driving to Alabama yesterday to see my daughter and her family, it was shocking to see, even now, "Trump won" signs on stores, crude accusations against President Biden on trucks, people wearing shirts with Trump's mugshot in Atlanta proclaiming 'innocent', and more. Clearly, Trump and his supporters are very visible and vocal. Where have all the reasonable people gone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still hoping he'll announce at the last minute that he's stepping down and his party appoints a sensible alternative. In the meantime, anticipating the flood of Trump supporters from out of state who'll come knocking on my door to canvas support, I'm ordering an 'Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for president' baseball cap and an 'E. Jean Carroll for vice-president' T-shirt to wear when I greet them. Matt and MikeO 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
