Re: Trumpled (Alternative Leading) Reply #3105 – May 21, 2021, 12:03:47 am A significant vote in the House of Representatives:QuoteModeled after the investigation into the September 11, 2001, attacks, the legislation would establish an independent, 10-member commission that would make recommendations by the end of the year for securing the Capitol and preventing another insurrection.It passed the House 252-175.The solid number of Republicans voting for the independent investigation — 35 out of 211 — signaled some cracks in the party's defense of Mr Aurangzeb on a key vote.It seems that Aurangzeb's hold over the Republicans is weakening despite the efforts of the Republican leadership.

We need to wait a good 12 months. Trumpania is still in its death throes and there will be the violent wiggle for a little while yet.In the meantime we all need to be very quiet. America is very tired and needs a little sleep. I don’t think we need to wait 12 months to say that the GOP is going all the way with DJT. Quote Selected

Re: Trumpled (Alternative Leading) Reply #3111 – July 04, 2021, 10:14:17 am Wouldn’t it mark a new low for the Republicans nominate Trump to run for President while he’s incarcerated? Unbelievably, there’s nothing preventing this. Quote Selected

America is very tired and needs a little sleep. More than a year has passed and it’s fair to say Trumpmania isn’t in its death throes. And even if Trump goes away (to the big house?)

Re: Trumpled (Alternative Leading) Reply #3119 – August 18, 2022, 02:09:37 pm The error in your logic, Lods, is that you assume the US is a democracy. At best, it’s a very distorted one. Gerrymandering and voter suppression is well established over there and the conservative majority in the Supreme Court appears ready to walk away from defending equal voting rights. The attempted coup on 6/1/21 might also be a dry run for what’s to come. Just wait for Red States to pass legislation allowing the Governors, Secretaries of State or State Legislatures to forward their own slates of electors to the Electoral College if they have the slightest concern about the conduct of elections in their States.
