Exactly! Why are these laws not being enforced? She's not the only one, either. Boebert, Briggs, Gosar, Gaetz, Brooks, even McCarthy should've all been expelled by now.

Jaime Ramirez ; They have been legitimized!!! There should be a massive class action lawsuit against the judges who allow this travesty against the very rule of law this country is experiencing.

Not the judges. Nobody prosecuted these cases. Blame the Pelosi controlled House. Could have held hearings. Blame the justice department.

If they could have obtained standing there was an argument that those who sought a pardon from Trump should have been disqualified. Same goes for any who were active in the Green Bay sweep and the fake elector scheme.

Too late now.

Daniel Solomon : It's never too late! I will not forget (they keep doing this so it's impossible to forget), and I know I'm not the only one not forgetting. And I know I'm not the only one who is angry and sick and tired of it! We, the real people should demand that our leaders, lawmakers and judges stop pretending to uphold the Constitution and the rule of law. The Emperors have no clothes! They do not merit the respect they demand and earn what they are handsomely paid. I'm tired of paying. I am tired of seeing my children paying and paying and paying!!!!!!

Amen to that !

The moral compass of our country has/is changing, but there are millions of us working endlessly to push the pendulum of the universe back to center .

Many of us believe that what we put out to the universe comes back to us, and there are now millions of us putting our messages out for the purpose of achieving the highest good for our Democracy, and Humankind.

For many of you that may sound contrite, and na├пve, but IтАЩve chosen to work hard to achieve that goal, no matter what it takes to get that pendulum back to center.

There were a whole bunch of them. I just mentioned a small proportion.

Greg DeCowsky : what ever happened to a requirement that a candidate be loyal to our country and patriotic ; upholding the flag and all it stands for? Is that only for high school marching bands?

Expand full comment

LOL. Better ask the Extreme Court and Cheap Just-Us Roberts.

My HS marching band was hired to play a Nixon rally in 1968. That did not go well for Nixon. We horn players put peace signs on the bells of our horns with masking tape while the entire drum line played a rousing cadence for chants of тАЬPeace now!тАЭ

After that they made us stick to football games.

BtW that was the year I almost got suspended for refusing to say the Pledge of Allegiance.

That was the year of the violent Democrat convention in Chicago, I think. Intense times.

Democratic Convention, not "Democrat". And violence was instigated by mayor Daly and the police.

I knew that. Daly was a corrupt tyrant.

Yes Daly had a 'machine'. Terrible!

There was never any such requirement--how would you enforce it? And traditionally that sort of language has been used by the right wing.

"As of this morning, the Democrat, Adam Frisch, had won by something like 65 votes. That automatically triggered a curing of ballots with mistakes"

This is badly confused. Frisch was at one point ahead by 64 votes, but only 93% of the votes had been counted. And even if the election had been over at that point, it would have triggered an automatic recount but not automatic curing--that takes effort by the candidates and so Frisch was asking for funds to do it. Now, Boebert is ahead by 1122 votes with 99% of the votes count--that's more than the .5% that triggers an automatic recount. She has almost certainly won the election and kept her seat. (Barf.)

"We donтАЩt know for sure if she has won the election. "

As I said on Nov 12, "She has *almost certainly* won the election".

"Anything can happen this week"

No, only a limited number of things can happen.

"This is up-to-date information from Adam Frisch himself that I received last night."

Frisch conceded and asked people not to send money for a curing or a recount, and to instead spend it on their own needs. He's a mensch.

Bummer! It would be great if a recount found an error in his favor after all. Stranger things have happened.
