How can normally intelligent people accept as POTUS a man who continually lies and misstates easily provable facts for years. Who is not enough of a man to accept defeat but is trying to overturn a free and honest election result claiming the results were fixed against him. Who seems to have convinced his lawyer that there were multiple examples of electoral fraud, but his lawyer cannot offer any evidence in court, therefore getting the claim thrown out 60 time out of 61. If he is the person that you want to be POTUS for the next 4 years, you have my sympathy and my pity. 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Sweet Swede Posted January 3, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 3, 2021 The US constitution is a relic made by slave owners in 1787. The American “democracy” was fairly “progressive” at the time it was established, but that was centuries ago and it is totally outdated today. Any other country than USA would have realized that we now live in 2021 not 1787 and would have made many amendments, to reflect that. 5 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course he easily won reelection by 10+ points in a state where almost all counties sent every voter a mail ballot and about 87% of the electorate voted by mail. And that last paragraph is "the rub" as they say. Once State legislatures are empowered to change the results in their states the Trump has his coup! Perhaps can expect the pressure to mount for State Legislatures to be given a role in choosing the President.

Any other country than USA would have realized that we now live in 2021 not 1787 and would have made many amendments, to reflect that. Actually, the US Constitution was written by the American aristocracy of the day as a defense against democracy, in particular, the tendency of the state governments in the decade prior to the Constitutional Convention of 1787 to implement both debt relief and paper money. The Framers, who were all of the creditor class, feared that paper money would result in inflation devaluing their wealth, so the Constitution forbade the states from issuing paper currency, Article 1, Section 10. They locked up the amendment process making the US Constitution the hardest to amend in the world. The result is the the US Constitution cannot be fixed. No one living now will ever see another amendment much less the abolition of the Electoral College and the Senate. What's needed now is a new constitutional convention to write a new version from the ground up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would need to be because they are precincts where Black Americans are the majority voter. Can't stand people who insert race into everything.

If you read the article you will see that it says "could" not did. There was no challenge during the congressional certification, . And even though trump won many states with the same or lower margin that Biden did , there were no challenges in these states as trump did. No equivalency there, not even close. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect a few hours silence while someone dreams up something stupid, then a full-on blast of ‘on message’ repetitions of what has been ‘passed’ down. I am sure the Mothership will give orders to gather for The Mother Of All Super Spreader Events at a location of Trump's choosing on January 20th so Dear Ex-President (Thank God) can say more people showed up for his bellowing of how he was robbed and that he is running in 2024. The EX-POTUS will throw out some total hot garbage about how more of the unmasked and unwashed showed up to his Covidpalooza 2021 than for the Biden inauguration (you know, the event that is socially responsible, limits large gatherings, promotes social distancing, follows science and common sense and does not put anybody in the maxed out ICU ). Just think of what Trump could have done if he had focused his efforts for the past 6 weeks on getting the vaccines distributed at "WARP SPEED" and actually being a leader instead of this BS of it all being about the pathetic petty child we all know who he is and whom he has proven himself to be...wasting the justice systems time and resources; playing golf while the country suffers. Worst president ever....a selfish narcissist that has tapped into the truly weak minded of America to follow him blindly in this farce while the politically motivated and power hungry of the GOP that have zero integrity do his bidding in an attempt to position themselves on the hierarchy of the right. The only good things out of all this is Joe Biden will be president instead of Donald Trump and on January 21st the State Of New York has an argument to make about somebody's taxes.

Popular Post Patong2021 Posted January 3, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 3, 2021 So many stupid comments on thread about Senator Cruz. He is no idiot and he is a cunning calculated man of intellectual superiority. And common to such people he has the fault of hubris and arrogance. It will be his downfall, but only he can bring his downfall about. He has read his voter base and he understands the American mentality. He is giving the people what they want. Is that not democracy? - The man left USA when he was 4 years old. His parents were educated oil industry professionals. The people on here who make comment to deport to his "home country" or make joke of father origin in Cuba are no better than the people they criticize because they attack him for being immigrant and somehow less "American" than others. Disgusting. - He graduated cum laude from Princeton. You don't do that unless intelligent and a hard workler. - He won many academic and extracurricular awards for his abilities. - He graduated from harvard law school with top grades and was described by professors as brilliant and was given an academic fellowship, which is reserved only for the USA's top scholars. - He was selected to serve as clerk for two of the USA's top judges. One of them was the Chief Justice of US Supreme Court. You don't get that job unless you are the best of the best. The man is intellectually above his critics. Some do not agree with his views but he is as passionate about them as others are of their own views. Because we do not agree, does not make him wrong. I see him as an evil genius, misguided and driven because of his superiority over others, but having had to endure the idiotic comments about being immigrant or not wealthy as a kid and of coming from a broken home. perhaps with love and understanding he will change. It worked for Luke when he met his father Darth Vader. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
