Watching Faux News (and no, I don’t actively watch this-I just happen to be in the room when it’s on.) still claim this is embarrassing 😳. You want proof that the Republicans are power hungry-look at Ohio and how badly it’s gerrymandered right now (and probably will be for years to come.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't there a state wide prop a few years ago to look at a bi-partisan election board that would address the gerrymandering? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The map gets rejected as unconstitutional by the courts how many times? And then we just go with it anyway? The spin where they've been showing the majority red US map is pretty funny. People vote, not acreage. Hold that L. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, there was, but their idea of bi-partisan was 5 Republicans (including the governor and the AG, I think), and 2 Democrats. The maps right now are only good for 2 years, but with the Republicans controlling everything, it will be lather, rinse, repeat in 2024. The only thing that kept these maps only good for 2 years was the Ohio Supreme Court Chief Justice siding with the Democratic justices and she is now retired.

It’s only good for this election. Whole fed judiciary needs an audit & not just because of Trump. Inconsistencies in sentencing, their personal finances, investments, any professional connections to family.. Then expand that process to our justice system as a whole. Those positions should be vetted heavily and often, not just prior to appointment and left to run wild for decades on their own agendas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shebengal Posted January 4, 2023 Report Share Posted January 4, 2023 Republicans promised their voters an ambitious agenda, including securing the border, outlawing abortion, getting inflation under control, investigating Hunter Biden, etc. They can't even elect a Speaker of the House. 😂 Methinks that they won't get nearly as much done as they promised, especially with a Democratic Senate and President.

Obstruction, some scapegoating & performative white Christian nationalism to keep their low education base of support, and a relentless effort to see Hunter Biden's dick. That's it.

That should serve to remind her that a large part of her constituency would like a more moderate and willing to compromise point of view from her instead of her mega right wing stubbornness. But if she is like most Congresspeople , she’ll ignore the minority who voted against her anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ted Cruz "discovered" her (ahem) & some real shady people made her into a viable candidate. Who knows what her actual personal politics may be - she's literally a paid actor. Paid by who and to what end is what's concerning, even more so than the absolute lunacy she promotes. "Far right" doesn't do it justice, she's not even grounded in reality. The fact that half of western Colorado is on board with that is reason to avoid the area, just like NW Georgia or all of Texas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was an Op-Ed in the Columbus Dispatch today by Connie Schultz, who is a prize winning journalist and Sen. Sherrod Brown’s wife and part of it does call out Boebert. It mentions that she only won by 546 votes. https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/columnist/2023/01/06/january-6-capitol-riot-house-speaker-vote-republican-split/10988458002/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-Dub Posted January 21, 2023 Report Share Posted January 21, 2023 So the crazies held up the SotH vote for McCarthy until they got appointed to positions of actual responsibility & influence that the establishment R's have kept them away from before. Now they're sitting at the adults table, throwing peas and pitching fits. If McC tries to remove any of them they can vote him out again. Do I have that right? Jewish Space Laser dimbulb is on the DHS committee? The batshit Q-tards are basically able to hold the House hostage? The coup is ongoing.
