These sound good. It feels like he lost Pete. More pins may fall.
Is there any possible way to bring the RCV into a special election /referendum within the next year such that the voters will be voting on just that issue? Do we have to work through another election with that issue still to deal with? Just a simple ” Do you want rank choice voting in the State of Alaska or not?” referendum before the people! Just asking for a friend.
New numbers out today show trump won by less than 50%. He better get out of his own way and not screw this up.
Reuters had the final numbers … Trump handily beat Harris with over 76,963,264 votes (49.9%) … yes, it’s under 50%, but nonetheless, he still kicked her ass! And he still has a mandate to clean up the swamp!
Glad you agree. His opponent had 48.xxx%.
Exactly how many hours a day do you spend searching for ways to cut down President Trump?
.
And, since when has the popular vote mattered in any way? Last time I checked, the States elect the President through the Electoral College. So, popular vote? meaningless.
All great picks here, Men and Women, no freaks!!!
Dr. Janette Nesheiwat praised social media censorship during covid, supported lockdowns, and still supports the jab to this day.
Sebastian Gorka is a deep-state hack with ties to MI6 and big booster of the insane Ukraine adventure.
Scott Bessent is a personal protégée of George Soros. He started working for Soros Investment Funds in the 1980s rose all the way to CIO. During his career with Soros he was a good little progressive and gave to the Dems. In 2015 he left to form his own hedge fund, Key Square Capital Management. When a finance guy goes out on his own and starts a new hedge fund they have to bring in seed capital. This means hitting rich people up for typically a few million at a time, maybe a few tens of millions if you’re a particular hotshot. Bessent’s new fund was staked an absolutely unreal $2 billion by George Soros himself. After starting his own firm, his politics suddenly shifted right. Some people say this is an indication of a huge falling out with Soros, but typically huge fallings out aren’t accompanied by $2 billion in cold hard cash. Even for Soros, that’s a ton of money. Did Bessent have a genuine change of heart or is he a plant?
2/3 of Americans think that J6 pardens should not be done. Trump is trying to change conservatives. He is pro choice, pro tariffs, anti Pebble, pro Putin, anti freedom of the press, pro cabinett sex offenders, don’t be a lemming and blindly follow the trump changed party over the cliff. It’s not what it used to be. By supporting trump, you agree with all these things which makes you a poser.
You forgot to mention Hitler this time.
Joe said Trump supporters were garbage and now we are “posers”
Is this Greg’s version of “The View”?
You would make an excellent guest on the famous morning clown show.
Actually, Vance and Kennedy have both said Trump was like Hitler. You can’t make this stuff up.
All that is true and documented. What does it say about you when you look in the mirror?
