POLITICAL THREAD

[HymanKaplan]

Not so fast my friend. Germany is a close friend of mine. We played golf a year ago and he told me, as he was putting golf balls in his office, trump called his cell. Trump was begging Ryan. It was uncomfortable for Ryan, as a republican. But, of course, Ryan stayed true to his job to deliver the truth

That sucks for your friend to be in that position.

Again, nothing illegal.

Seth Keshel weighs in on the Selzer Iowa "dirty politics poll". Seth notes notes that voter registration in Iowa has gone from R+1 to R+10 this year after voter rolls were purged. Republicans lead in early voting by 7,200 votes this year versus being 128,000 behind in 2020. In short, he says "Selzer clowned herself.". He also notes that Emerson dropped a Trump plus 10 poll yesterday as they caught wind of Selzer's fake poll.

We should have seen this coming given he had one foot out the door to ATM.

But... what's Mitch gonna do about it? And frankly, Mitch needs to pay the price for these terrible contracts (he got lucky with Cal... or we'd still be stuck with him also).

We could still "get lucky"

Just never know what might happen

Depends on if the money is allowed to follow homeschool children. The wording of the amendment is so vague, it opens the door for it. KY has one of the most lax homeschool policies in the country. Imagine families of 4-6 kids finding out they can get 5K per kid to put them on a computer program at home with little to no accountability. Add that to their food stamps and other checks and they’re making more than they’ve ever had. If you live in a city and your child has no learning disabilities, then Amendment #2 is a great thing. If you live in a rural area, it’s going to hurt the kids and schools.

The whole point is the Legislature determines how to implement it & they can be voted out if there program(s) are disliked. As is, state education is in a monopoly box primarily for the benefit of those that run the monopoly - School Boards & those that kowtow to them. Why people wouldn't want alternatives for their kids escapes me.

But I'm not worried, the deplorables will show them themselves by voting to keep the monopoly. It will be quite strange to see Trump win 60%+ of KY's vote in part because he wants government off our backs & his adherents support that, yet many will turn around and vote to keep the state on their childrens' backs. F-ed Up I tell ya.

 

[vhcat70]

He only sees what he wants to see. Basically a deadbeat.

Yea, no MAGA adherent sees only what s/he want to see: cheating is the only way Harris wins for staters. LOL. This deadbeat is happy as hell he's outside that box.

 

[Girthang]

LOL NV is NOT tight. Republicans have run up a huge lead with over half of the votes already in. Trump is getting 50 percent of the Latino vote. NYT/Siena is the ONLY poll that has Kamala ahead, but like I said, over half the votes have already been cast. LOL


According to Tommy (talked to him last night) rest easy on WI. He seemed absolutely positive on that one.

After driving thru Wisconsin this summer, I found it hard to believe she could win that state without cheating. Trump signs in people's yards EVERY WHERE

Looking like abortion and more money to fool people with ads is going to put her over the top.

Can't be true. This deadbeat has been told she can only win with cheating. So don't dare give her "win" legitimacy.

Gore claimed they would be gone by the early 2000's and that NYC would be under water.
It absolutely is fear mongering and an overreaction in order to manipulate.

Not to this extent. Have you seen images of Greenland 50 years ago vs today? Alaska is very Repub, you should google what they think about the recent changes.

I knew you'd bring politics into it. I'm not a fan of Gore, but i do listen to people who study this like we study UK. Do you listen to your doctor when he says you need a colonoscopy? And after all, unless you live under a rock, its common sense. I remember -20 temps in Ky growing up. Now golf courses are open 12 months a year. I'm not sure what more evidence some need, 90 degree decembers?

I’m always amazed that someone could consider 40 years a significant period of time.

That was the point, 40 years is not significant. The fact is, if we've seen this much climate change since we've been alive, whats the future bring? Temps only trend 1 way. The arctic isn't being rejuvenated, its declining. How do you argue with facts?

That ain't happening. He showed he doesn't give an ish about any candidate but Trump in 2020 when he told GA voters their votes wouldn't count in the two Senate runoff races in his misguided effort to get the GA Prez outcome changed. It pi$$es me off to this day as with either seat Pub, the whole Biden agenda would have been stopped. If there's a reason to say F Trump. it's this.

The problem is that Biden (and I expect Harris to be the same or worse) would just use Executive Orders to enact law that Congress would not pass. Reducing the power of the Executive branch has to be accomplished. We're electing the head of one branch (out of three), not a king who rules by fiat. Biden has misused that power many times, most egregiously on border security. We also desperately need to rein in the agencies who are unelected government drones but write laws/regulations that Congress did NOT pass (see: EPA regs re: EVs and fossil fuels). That is not how our government is supposed to work.

 

[DrH. Lecter]

Dion mentioned a weighted system that makes much more sense to me. Instead of a winner takes all electoral college.... a weighted system. For example, if Ky votes 60 percent Trump and 40 percent Harris.... Trump would get 4.8 electoral votes instead of 8 as he would now.
That system would still give power to smaller states but would also allow the minority party a say in the election as well. Right now my vote basically goes into the dumpster in Ky.

Extend that nationally. If Trump wins 49% of the EC then he should be POTUS 49% of the time, no? CryBully.

Your vote belongs in the garbage.

That makes some sense since the smaller states still have an oversize say vs. their population. Would mean Pubs still win with over about 48%, maybe 47%, of the total votes, based on today's voting records by state. Similar to what NE & ME do now.

Biden's 2021-22 big spending bills would not have passed with just one more Pub Senate vote. Yes, EO's would still be a problem.

There's been way too many stories of one sided voting irregularities in the news lately for their not to be some truth. Anyone who thinks otherwise is either a Democrat or a fool. Both are one and the same.
