It is indeed great news that a fair amount of older Republicans in N.H. still remember putin is our enemy, Russia is a horrific regime, and surrendering democracy so donald can stay out of prison is in no way the art of the deal for America.
I live in Arizona and had my vote challenged. I register as an independent. This explains why the GOP are going after Independents as well. They said my signature on my driver's license didn't match my signature on the mail-in ballot? Luckily, the elections office had my phone number and they gave me a call. We need to start taking their votes away for treason!
It is very possible we are looking at another election that will be determined by the "Electoral College" not the popular vote. The Republican crutch might strike again..
SCOTUS has allowed TFG his usual wish for delays by delaying the immunity hearing until April 22, when they could have chosen to so so promptly, as they did in the 14th Amendment case. One has to wonder how long they'll delay announcing their decision...say till the end of term in June or July and let's not forget that SCOTUS chose to allow a stay regarding the D.C. Jack Smith case...IMHO, they want TFG to win.
Remember Gore v. Bush in Florida where appointed "supreme" Court Justices swung the election to Bush PRIOR to having ALL of the questionable ballots counted? Incidentally, when they were ALL counted, Gore won! Was Gore petulant, childish, and cause a DEADLY INSURRECTION? NO!!!
Every presidential election is determined by the electoral college no matter how many popular votes are won. You do know that Trump could win with both this time.
Yes it will. Lets hope Biden and his campaign team as well as the Democrats can get their act together to win enough votes to win. So far I don't see a cohesive plan to get that done. It doesn't help that the mainstream media acts as if this is a normal election. It is not.
This is changing in ‘how’ the electorate is determined, essentially making the popular vote possible through multi state agreements to give all electoral votes to the popular vote. Not perfect, but better.
I'm not seeing that happening anytime soon or at all. It's certainly not going happen for the 2024 election. A few states doing that wont stop Trump from being elected and guess what, if it did you can be sure it would end up in the SOCTUS, who would most likely say the the states can't do that, and the EC as it was written in the Constitution is how presidential elections are decided.
The other thing that won't work, is trying to use Section 3 of the 14th Amendment to keep Trump off of state ballots. I suspect that would backfire against the Democrats and that brings me back to I'm not seeing Biden or the Democrats rising to the threat that Trump and the Republican Party are posing for the nation.
Don all presidential elections are determined y the electoral college
What you meant that was Gore v Bush and in Clinton v Trump the popuulr vote lost to the electoral college vote.
The agrarian (slave or southern states) would not have ratified the constitution were it not for that proviso, as they were more sparsefly populated than the northern states.
And how do we do that? It takes a 3/5th majority in congress to pass an amendment and then 3/5ths of the states to ratify it, and a Constitutional convention is out of the question, as the racists, the fascists, have been militating for such a convention, because they have control of 3/5ths of state legislatures.
I live in AZ too. I’m also an independent and I have received calls to verify my signature twice over the last 3 presidential elections. My mother is republican and she has received verification calls 3 times in the same time frame. My signature literally underwent drastic changes, as I found my new job requiring me to sign my name multiple times daily, so I modified it, making it highly stylized scribble that doesn’t match my license. In my mother’s case, she has broken her wrist and her handwriting is simply deteriorating. I believe, Arizona is just doing a thorough job of making sure our elections are above board.
Luckily, the elections office wasn't intimidated by the orange traitors cronies, otherwise your vote would have been thrown out. I'm sorry you had to deal with that, but glad they reached you. What about others in that position who could not be reached? It pisses me off that they complain about their votes being stolen, and turn around to steal ours in return. What a mess.
I live in Arizona too and we are doing everything we can in our benighted county to insure that we have supervisors that are fair and square. Right now we have 1 out of 3. The other 2 are getting sued and I really hope the population will take note. It starts at the local level.
How is it an act of treason asking to verify a signature? The other thing taking away peoples votes because you don't like their politics is no different than what the extreme right. That's no different than a Trump supporter who says the same thing about Democrats.
“Matching a signature” puts unqualified people in charge of handwriting analysis which is actually a trained subject people specialize in at the DOJ & FBI. A layman determining a signature doesn’t match is a joke. Requiring us to answer every unknown number because it might be a rando election worker who thinks our signature doesn’t match as we may have aged 5 years since the last one, or we broke our hands, whatever, means if I don’t answer the phone my vote is thrown out by someone who “feels” like it’s not my vote.
Given mail in ballot fraud has not been found to exist in any studies, it’s odd that it would be made so important a threat that any untrained person in an election office can throw out someone’s vote. Anything “odd” in this system = rigged, because people are naturally biased, and guess what? The randos will throw out more votes from the other party than from their own. Also, a majority of the elderly vote by mail. It’s pretty obvious our handwriting deteriorates over time so questioning a signature that is obviously a elderly person’s is also not a valid way to count votes’
Paul in rural areas, Democrats stand out. I don't think it was the election officials that noticed bad handwriting, I think it was GOP volunteers? I would support a two-day voting cycle where people have to appear in person and we would have ballot machines and hand count ballots if necessary, two copies in other words. When someone tries to steal my vote I consider that treason! Wait till that happens to you!
Seems now the story has changed to CHANGED votes of 4,000 or this is in addition to the original story of 8,000 found votes (could not find). From the Guardian:
Eric Olsen, director of elections for Prince William county, said: “Election results were improperly reported by the previous administration during the 2020 election.
“… The reporting errors were presumably a consequence of the results tapes not being programmed to a format that was compatible with state reporting requirements. Attempts to correct this issue appear to have created errors. The reporting errors did not consistently favor one party or candidate but were likely due to a lack of proper planning, a difficult election environment, and human error.”
Olsen said the errors did not meet the threshold which would trigger a recount.
Saying improvements had been made to county elections management, he alluded to threats to elections officials across the US that have been fueled by Trump’s voter fraud lie.
A felonious traitor running on a revenge and a get out of jail free card platform never works with common sense voters. The whole MAGA playbook has always reeked of misconception BS and is now starting show its results at the primaries.
Thanks for the link. Yes, I totally agree that Trump is too disordered to have and follow a playbook. Saying there is a Trump playbook is like saying that a person experiencing a severe and persistent mental illness, such as schizophrenia, is following a playbook that attributes an intention to auditory hallucinations. Trump is simply doing the things that his particular personality disorder causes people to do. And if it’s similar to other dictators, it’s likely that they were acting out a similar diagnosis. Now we are starting to get a whole new cluster of symptoms related to dementia. Dementia is not a playbook either!
Exactly. Too many "human lemmings" out there. What causes people to "lose" or never attain Critical Thinking Skills? What causes people to become a member of a "cult"? I do NOT understand how Trump can literally LIE about everything, even things that do not matter (size of his crowds, polling, etc.). EVERYTHING. Trump is one very sick individual and needs to be locked up. But, Reagan closed down the State Mental Health Institutions. BRING THEM BACK!! Trump appears no better than those people screaming at light poles for no apparent reason. Just gotta rant, demean, and scream.
I am an AI Developer who build an Artificial Intelligences that do sports analytics. So I am the wrong demographic for your poor attempt at an insult. Good he bankrupted those casinos. More online betting. It is a more sustainable and scaleable business model😂🤣
Those morons don't have a playbook, they just make a lot of noise without trying to problem solve. They must be demolished at the ballot box in November. And stopped cold if they resort to another overthrow.
Actually, it is a playbook of sorts. Read the book "What's The Matter With Kansas", originally published in 2004. While I agree that the former occupant of the White House is the playbook on steroids, the book outlines how Republikkklans have taken over.
I think Thomas Frank made a good attempt of diagnosing the situation in Kansas in his books , but I dont think he or Prof. Reich or anyone has figured out why the MAGA crowd appear to support Trump and vote against their interests. The basic explanation is 'Trump is a con artist, and the MAGA crowd cant see it because they are uneducated', but I dont think that is it.
the question to be answered is "will the American people be thought less of in the world peoples forum of opinion, if, a USA President is elected who pardons himself for past crimes committed". That is assuming Trump is found guilty of what is alleged, prior to the November 2024 presidential election.
They certainly should not be allowed to .Any more than being allowed back into office after stealing classified documents, and sharing them with other countries.or anyone. Also inciting an insurrection!
Not to also mention blatant election interference, rape and real estate fraud. It's sad and frightening to see so many people who are still on board with this sick demented shyster.
Rick Calegari :I was thinking of listing everything, but realized that 91 felony charges, plus rape, violations of emoluments clause and the Hatch Act and all that you mentioned still does not cover it. The weirdest thing is that so many consider themselves people of faith and therefore, beyond reproach.
We will look like the fools we are if we let this happen. Just the fact he’s been indicted 91, and convicted of sexual assault, and is going to be the GOP nominee AGAIN has the world shaking their heads
Russia's population has been shrinking over 100,000 a year, so they don't have to worry about growing an economy or letting cheaper union busting labor immigrants in. The trickle down theory is practiced in Russia. Instead of growing the economy, they get rid of their excess population by sending them off to war and any other way Putin wants to. That is the only way Trump will be able to make the wall work also.
Bob Johnson: I sometimes connect with Chinese living on the mainland. They tell me about the impossibility of getting decent paying work. My fear is that China will get rid of its population problem by going to war. I don't know why Iran wants war.
I’ve read (sorry can’t cite) that China is worried about their aging and declining population. I believe they are loosening the One Child policy. It was beginning in 2005 when I visited China and the guide said it was possible to pay a fairly enormous “fee” (bribe?) to have a second child.
I think you nailed it, Sam. Running is the only way he can keep his hide out of jail. He's running on desperation. That may be why he's losing his train of thought, more and more. His ramblings are becoming increasingly incoherent. Might be due to panic.
Thanks Aleithia. Psychologically, it all feeds each other. The more he rambles & is incoherent, the more outside pressure he feels for it & it stresses him out being called an old crazy loser, the more he can't think straight, which again causes him to panic, & the panic makes it all worse again. It is a constant negative feedback loop & downward spiral & yet, Republicans say more please .
Trump is going to win though and apart of you likely knows that. Sorry about that but it will be ok. America is a strong country and Trump is not a dictator as is being reported by the mainstream media. And much of his past remarks have been taken out of context BIG TIME. The Republicans you speak of will come around because nobody wants Nikki Hillary or Joe Bumbling Biden. Trump is the Republican of a New Age, the MAGA Republican. Even though he is 77, he still comes across as someone with more energy than BIden who is nothing more than a doddering old man currrently in the WH. Who is actually running the country? Obama? Anthony Blinken? Biden doesn't even know what year it is without squinting his eyes to view a cue card. #MAGA2024
HA, HA, HA, very funny. DJT is the one that doesn't know what day it is, or tell the difference between Nikki Haley and Nancy Pelosi. Bumbling DJT, he is so demented he doesn't even know where he is most of the time. You must be stupid to think DJT has any energy, because he doesn't. Had too much of the cool-aid?? your ignorant remarks are of a brainwashed idiot.
Wow. You must spend all your time programming and none of it following the news. Or simply using extremely filtered channels...
Trump's dictatorial traits and narcissistic behaviour are far more prominent on his own channels and in his speeches than in mainstream media. Do you really want a president that - in EVERY situation - puts himself first? Favors his cronies. Craves utter loyalty so we know that he is getting skewed information, nobody dares speak truth to power there. He will lie about anything and everything. A sexual predator that throws his buddies under the buss when they no longer are of use to them...
Your theory about the strength of USA is also delusional. Democracy is always vulnerable to amoral and illegal attacks. Trump shows no evidence of morals and has no qualms in subverting the law.
He succeeded in creating a major divide in American society and even an insurrection attempt that almost succeeded.
While ongoing witness was borne by almost all coworkers regarding his imbalanced views and actions and wierd misconceptions, as soon as they freed themselves from his sphere.
Nothing at all indicates that "it will be ok". Not in the US and not in the world where Trump shares secrets with his buddy Putin, writes love letters to North Korea and gets his daughter advantageous deals in China (while talking tough...).
Trump will not win the presidency. You fail to see the mental and physical decline in Trump. There's a problem when you don't know the difference between Nikki Haley and Nancy Pelosi. Then there's the amorality, sociopathy and corruption which obviously you ignore or are not bothered by. Biden's in a lot better shape physically and mentally and is doing just fine running the country. Maybe you should switch from Sinclair Broadcasting and its constant blather of misinformation.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Mr. Woodson, Trump has told us--and the world--exactly who and what he is. Repeatedly. If you refuse to believe him, then you are the gullible fool--not us.
Sorry - but Trump said on live tv he wants to be a dictator- day one … once he fires the DOJ and replaces FBI with his own henchmen - he will start the downfall - like jailing his opponents and hanging Generals that didn’t do his dirty work- he will create mayhem - like he said
AMEN!! Preach for those in the back!! The left lost a lot of us who are the New Age Patriots..we will continue to fight for American First policies..its not about the Man, Trump...its about freedom, its about being properly represented, its about no new wars, its about the economy!!! it's about so much more than these people squawk about. And we are not a Democracy! We are a Constitutional Republic!!
Sam Ray, can you clarify your remarkable comment that this Primary is "great news that a fair amount of older Republicans in N.H. still remember putin is our enemy, Russia is a horrific regime, and surrendering democracy so donald can stay out of prison " ?
Only if you mean the far left. The faux “progressives” who (try to) hide their MAGA-like racism behind self-righteous demands they never want to see met. Those that are proof of the Horseshoe Theory.
Depends on what they want their headlines to do. And since they DON'T want their headlines to inform or report news accurately, and DO want them to create the perception that Trump is a normal candidate so the election will be a horse race... their headlines are exactly right for their purposes.
This is the time for "Liz" to come riding in to save the day by joining the race and stealing enough votes from Trump on the Republican side to give the election to Joe.
Chris--Entering as an independent team they would spell Trump's defeat. Liz said she would never let Trump back into the White House. This is the path through which she can keep her promise.
Any alternative on the right would draw off some of Trump’s support. It’s what the right has tried to do to Biden by pushing Stein, West, Philips, and Kennedy Jr. (That last one backfired on them nicely.)
I'm afraid they could take votes from Never Trumper Republicans who otherwise would vote for Biden. I've thought Cheney would've been more effective competing in the Republican primary, persisting with her harsh criticism of Trump regardless of primary results.
I still have around 10 months left of mine, but my phone has an alarm to remind me to cancel it! No point wasting the $20 when SOME articles are still entertaining/useful, eh?
you can cancel your subscription now (in case you don't hear that alarm go off later) ... and still have access during the remaining duration of your subscription. they don't actually shut you out until your paid subscription runs out!
It is indeed great news that a fair amount of older Republicans in N.H. still remember putin is our enemy, Russia is a horrific regime, and surrendering democracy so donald can stay out of prison is in no way the art of the deal for America.
DEFEAT TREASONOUS AND CON REPUBLICONS EVERYWHERE

or worse... aka: hanging chads...the supremes get to decide...queue scary music.
Alison--Nice name by the way. I don't see an entry point for SCOTUS but with Trump, anything is possible.
We of the invisible government do not recognize people by their names, but by their qualities
SCOTUS has allowed TFG his usual wish for delays by delaying the immunity hearing until April 22, when they could have chosen to so so promptly, as they did in the 14th Amendment case. One has to wonder how long they'll delay announcing their decision...say till the end of term in June or July and let's not forget that SCOTUS chose to allow a stay regarding the D.C. Jack Smith case...IMHO, they want TFG to win.
We also do NOT want the Presidential election determined by this "supreme" Court.
Jim--a Presidential election is the voice of the people and it's their final word.
Remember Gore v. Bush in Florida where appointed "supreme" Court Justices swung the election to Bush PRIOR to having ALL of the questionable ballots counted? Incidentally, when they were ALL counted, Gore won! Was Gore petulant, childish, and cause a DEADLY INSURRECTION? NO!!!
Every presidential election is determined by the electoral college no matter how many popular votes are won. You do know that Trump could win with both this time.
Jeff--If that happens his win will spell our defeat.
Yes it will. Lets hope Biden and his campaign team as well as the Democrats can get their act together to win enough votes to win. So far I don't see a cohesive plan to get that done. It doesn't help that the mainstream media acts as if this is a normal election. It is not.
This is changing in ‘how’ the electorate is determined, essentially making the popular vote possible through multi state agreements to give all electoral votes to the popular vote. Not perfect, but better.

The agrarian (slave or southern states) would not have ratified the constitution were it not for that proviso, as they were more sparsefly populated than the northern states.
Lee ---That time has passed; the issue needs to be readdressed and rectified.
And how do we do that? It takes a 3/5th majority in congress to pass an amendment and then 3/5ths of the states to ratify it, and a Constitutional convention is out of the question, as the racists, the fascists, have been militating for such a convention, because they have control of 3/5ths of state legislatures.

In my mother’s case, she has broken her wrist and her handwriting is simply deteriorating. I believe, Arizona is just doing a thorough job of making sure our elections are above board.
hope so...
Luckily, the elections office wasn't intimidated by the orange traitors cronies, otherwise your vote would have been thrown out. I'm sorry you had to deal with that, but glad they reached you.

Mine wasn't. Anyone who voted for President Biden didn't have their votes stolen. It was attempted by the insurrection on 1/6 but failed.
I live in Arizona too and we are doing everything we can in our benighted county to insure that we have supervisors that are fair and square. Right now we have 1 out of 3. The other 2 are getting sued and I really hope the population will take note. It starts at the local level.

The easiest way to resolve that is to vote in person on election day as it was originally intended. Stop crying and get out and vote!
Paul in rural areas, Democrats stand out. I don't think it was the election officials that noticed bad handwriting, I think it was GOP volunteers?

I read where Virginia recently "discovered" 8,000 votes that were apparently not counted for Biden from 2020? Fake news or...?
Jim, what was the reason the "discovered" 8,000 votes were uncounted?

China allows people to have 3 children but they don’t so are worrying about their low birth rates.
They are not going to go to war to kill some of their population
I’ve read (sorry can’t cite) that China is worried about their aging and declining population. I believe they are loosening the One Child policy. It was beginning in 2005 when I visited China and the guide said it was possible to pay a fairly enormous “fee” (bribe?) to have a second child.
Yes, and it also shows that fewer people are falling into his narcissistic trap.

Do you really want a president that - in EVERY situation - puts himself first? Favors his cronies. Craves utter loyalty so we know that he is getting skewed information, nobody dares speak truth to power there. He will lie about anything and everything. A sexual predator that throws his buddies under the buss when they no longer are of use to them...
Your theory about the strength of USA is also delusional. Democracy is always vulnerable to amoral and illegal attacks. Trump shows no evidence of morals and has no qualms in subverting the law.
He succeeded in creating a major divide in American society and even an insurrection attempt that almost succeeded.
While ongoing witness was borne by almost all coworkers regarding his imbalanced views and actions and wierd misconceptions, as soon as they freed themselves from his sphere.
Nothing at all indicates that "it will be ok". Not in the US and not in the world where Trump shares secrets with his buddy Putin, writes love letters to North Korea and gets his daughter advantageous deals in China (while talking tough...).
Not to mention all the money they get from Saudi Arabia. For what?
Among other things, giving them all top secret US intel on their mortal enemies Iran and Israel would more than do it.
Exactly what I was thinking!
Great minds... Yep, easy money for a President without a conscience.
Trump will not win the presidency. You fail to see the mental and physical decline in Trump. There's a problem when you don't know the difference between Nikki Haley and Nancy Pelosi. Then there's the amorality, sociopathy and corruption which obviously you ignore or are not bothered by. Biden's in a lot better shape physically and mentally and is doing just fine running the country. Maybe you should switch from Sinclair Broadcasting and its constant blather of misinformation.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Mr. Woodson, Trump has told us--and the world--exactly who and what he is. Repeatedly. If you refuse to believe him, then you are the gullible fool--not us.
Sorry - but Trump said on live tv he wants to be a dictator- day one … once he fires the DOJ and replaces FBI with his own henchmen - he will start the downfall - like jailing his opponents and hanging Generals that didn’t do his dirty work- he will create mayhem - like he said
AMEN!! Preach for those in the back!! The left lost a lot of us who are the New Age Patriots..we will continue to fight for American First policies..its not about the Man, Trump...its about freedom, its about being properly represented, its about no new wars, its about the economy!!! it's about so much more than these people squawk about. And we are not a Democracy! We are a Constitutional Republic!!
So funny! Very clever@
Sam Ray, can you clarify your remarkable comment that this Primary is "great news that a fair amount of older Republicans in N.H. still remember putin is our enemy, Russia is a horrific regime, and surrendering democracy so donald can stay out of prison " ?
Can you clarify what you need to have clarified?
The New York Times wrote that “Trump Sails to Victory“ ... in what parallel universe did that happen?
The NY Times wants to be Fox News.
Just in case Trumps wins (he won't), the NYTimes wants to show that they kissed his smelly butt, too...
@Christopher. I think you are right! Follow the money and see which rich bitch owns that outlet…
Rich assholes own them all.
Understatement of the week!
The NYT is FOX News for the left.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣You are delusional, kid. You are consuming the wrong shrooms.
Only if you mean the far left. The faux “progressives” who (try to) hide their MAGA-like racism behind self-righteous demands they never want to see met. Those that are proof of the Horseshoe Theory.

"They can't get a headline right"
Depends on what they want their headlines to do. And since they DON'T want their headlines to inform or report news accurately, and DO want them to create the perception that Trump is a normal candidate so the election will be a horse race... their headlines are exactly right for their purposes.
This is the time for "Liz" to come riding in to save the day by joining the race and stealing enough votes from Trump on the Republican side to give the election to Joe.
Cheney/Kinzinger 2024!
Chris--Entering as an independent team they would spell Trump's defeat. Liz said she would never let Trump back into the White House. This is the path through which she can keep her promise.
(I prefer Christopher.)
Any alternative on the right would draw off some of Trump’s support. It’s what the right has tried to do to Biden by pushing Stein, West, Philips, and Kennedy Jr. (That last one backfired on them nicely.)
Chris--Someone needs to give Liz a call.
I'm afraid they could take votes from Never Trumper Republicans who otherwise would vote for Biden. I've thought Cheney would've been more effective competing in the Republican primary, persisting with her harsh criticism of Trump regardless of primary results.
their smug status quoism and their lack of understanding of climate -i quit reading them much. Ditto WaPo.
I still have around 10 months left of mine, but my phone has an alarm to remind me to cancel it! No point wasting the $20 when SOME articles are still entertaining/useful, eh?
you can cancel your subscription now (in case you don't hear that alarm go off later) ... and still have access during the remaining duration of your subscription. they don't actually shut you out until your paid subscription runs out!
They seem to like The Talking Heads...?
