If Trump does NOT win, what remains of the gop may well have its own clear out of Trump and all his supporters. Not that it will bother Trump much, as he will most likely be in jail anyway.

Nope. Your assertion, your burden of proof. AFAIK, he paid about $11 billion in federal tax in 2022.  

Between 2014 and 2018, $455 million, according americansfortaxfairness.org. None, in 2018... But quite what that has to do with the subject matter, nobody knows nor cares....

Reading your post is convincing and clear. Thank you.

If Trump does not prevail, what then are you believing will most likely be the case in the US?

Exactly what Ann Coulter predicted in 2016 when she said Trump would win the election. She predicted that the Dems would open the borders and allow 10-20 million illegal immigrants into the country - give them all residency so they can vote, and the GOP will not win another election for decades. The result of the far left lunatics getting their policies implemented, and the corporate influencers making billions from the Ukraine and other never ending wars, will be the destruction of the US mortals and values. 

 

From day 1 it is clear that all the conservative border States will deport all illegal immigrants to California etc. and destroy that State's economy.  I also think that after 5-10 years of that and other actions by the conservative States, it will result in many of the conservative southern and 'fly over' States forming a Coalition and then trying to succeed from the USA.  As part of that process I can see many conservative lead corporations in the Socialist States moving down to Texas and Florida and being a critical part of that happening. 

 

They keep saying every election is the most important of all time - this time I think that is true. There are 2 very clear choices and which ever one is selected by the People will change USA for the next few decades - maybe forever.

Quoting Coulter is neither reliable nor intelligent. She has been a far right hate monger since well before Trump.

That's a great question, and thank you for asking.

 

You know, I grew up in a middle class family, and that's why it's so important to me to focus on stuff that makes life better for the middle class...

Good on this Republican for standing up to more Trump corruption and corrosion of any process that might not favor him. He would subvert democracy at the drop of a hat if he could gain something from it.

  Trump wants term limits for Members and Senators - hopefully he will get that pushed through as well.

That would require constitutional Amendment to Article 1 Section 3 Clause 3 of the US Constitution and  to the 17th Amendment to the Constitution.

i can easily see congress and the seante all voting in favor of their own titty limit. 

[jerrymahoney]

An amendment may be proposed by a two-thirds vote of both Houses of Congress, or, if two-thirds of the States request one, by a convention called for that purpose.

The amendment must then be ratified by three-fourths of the State legislatures, or three-fourths of conventions called in each State for ratification.

Hopefully Trump can repair the relationship with Russia and ensure peace returns to Europe. Only Trump could do it.

Only Trump is obsequious enough that he could do it

So... Trump, as well as the state governor, both want Nebraska to be in line with about 48 other states in how they allocate their electoral college votes. And this is bad why?

Because Nebraska's way of allowing Electoral college representation is more reflective of the democratic will of the voters. Other states should recognize this but the political parties will resists as they see a better advantage in the way things are. Thus we have what? Four or five elections (Trump lost the popular vote in 2016 & 2020) where the American citizen voters have voted in the majority for one candidate and the Electoral College or Congress has chosen the candidate reaching the minority of votes.

[bamnutsak]

If this was such a big deal Nebraska should have dealt with it in the previous 3+ years.

 

Waiting until six weeks before the election, and after Maine's legislature is on recess, seems 'squirrely'.

 

And having the Senator from South Carolina (Graham) stumping for this in Nebraska also seems 'weird'.

 

Cooler heads prevailed...

 

 

Nebraska governor ends push to change the way state awards electoral votes in blow to Trump

 

Nebraska Gov. Jim Pillen said Tuesday that he has “no plans to call a special session” to change the way the state allocates electoral votes to a winner-take-all system, ending an effort led by Donald Trump.

 

The announcement comes after Republican state Sen. Mike McDonnell said he would not support a last-ditch effort to overturn the law that awards electoral votes based by congressional district.

 

“Given everything at stake for Nebraska and our country, we have left every inch on the field to get this done,” Pillen, a Republican, said in a statement.

However he does it, he needs to do it, it is the top priority by far. The US is dangerously close to a hot conflict with Russia, here the only option is Trump ending the  conflict.

 

Harris would actually make it worse and more likely a hot conflict happens. Which could be a disaster for the world.

Which is why I said that if California followed the same system as Nebraska, Trump would have had 10 more EC votes. Same with New York.

There's nothing wrong at all with Trump respectfully voicing his disagreement. It's a good thing he didn't question the motives or character of the dissenting senator...

[Jonnapat]

Desperate attempt to secure one extra vote.

Pathetic.
