Why not, instead of waiting for 2024, and I'm hoping you'll run in 2024, but why not run in 2022 for the United States Congress? A House seat in Florida. Win big. Lead us to a dramatic landslide victory. Take the House by 50 seats," Root said.

"Then you become the Speaker of the House, lead the impeachment of Biden and start criminal investigations against Biden. You'll wipe him out for this last two years," the radio host continued.

Trump appeared to be taken by the idea. "That's so interesting," the former president said. "You know, it's very interesting," he added.

He then said that Root's idea "might be better" than the suggestion that he run for the Senate

Trump was in NC tonight.

Double Post.

I personally feel we don't really have a choice at this point but to do some sort of filibuster reform if we want to get a lot done. S1 is not going to pass without nuking it (if it can pass) and at least some form reform is the only path to begin to safeguard elections. I don't think it's as apocalyptic a long game as some think atm - a lot of politics are cyclical - but I also don't think we can keep rolling over for the same old senatorial chestnuts and excuses shrugging shoulders saying 'what can ya do? Vote!' I vote every time. I engage in the off-season. But no amount of grassroots action is going to change McConnell's very old game or roll back voter suppression. And I don't believe there are ten Dem Senators who will stand in the way of filibuster reform. Plenty of people can talk a big game on background, especially via the lens of Politico which tries to launder opinion and push policy via a Republican-leaning POV. I don't for a second believe there are ten Dem Senators who will stand in the way of reform if Schumer and Pelosi get behind it, which I believe they will.

 

I also don't think it's lose-lose. I think that is the nihilist splinter of the progressive movement's favorite go-to - all Dems suck, Bernie would've won, all Dems are bad at messaging, you'll all lose anyway next time and in 5-10-20 years we will pick up the pieces. If you live in that sphere on Twitter that looks like reality, but it's not reality. Every time a Democrat wins these guys kick the can down the road - oh you won the primary but Biden won't win; oh, you won the general but you won't win the Senate. Oh, you won the Senate but there's still Manchin. It's moving the goalposts over and over. I can share common cause on certain things while disliking these people, but how many more absolute failure narratives do I have to tolerate that keep being deflated and proven wrong before someone else admits they were?

Republicans are fine with creating their own reality and having enough people being suck into it for their zero sum game.

I've been saying for years they need to fire Melissa Ordway but whenever I do people act like you shot the president. Her bloodline doesn't matter if the character is a worthless failure! Abby's been on for what, over a decade and there is nothing there. She needs to be gone for years.

I agree with you but getting rid of MO would probably spark some sort of fan backlash because she's been playing the role for so long.

Biden being white was never going to help with whether the opposition party opposed him or not. Biden being white helps with white liberals in his own party, who were skittish about backing Obama up with things such as the 2009 stimulus bill ( which is why the amount of stimulus was so anemic) and the ACA, which ended up being less than what originally intended, (i.e. no public option).

Not sure who goes around thinking that McConnell is anything but craven or would actually clear a path for Biden to accomplish his agenda, but those persons would be sadly mistaken.

Some of the left thought it would help Biden being white would help with the opposition party while ignoring that politics comes first and adjustments can be made for race.

Not that it ever really matters (it didn't when McConnell said he would work to do nothing but stop Obama from getting reelected), but McConnell finally saying the quiet part out loud should put the "why isn't Biden bipartisan" [!@#$%^&*] to bed once and for all.

 

 

(Sarcasm) But I thought Biden being white (unlike Obama) was going help get things done with Mitch?  

I didn't realize that conservatives had another outlet that has its own tv show. How will it take for this one to be included in the cable network channel package. 

It looks like Haley Pullos has done something to her lips because they look bigger than they normally do. 

Because of  Manchin and Simena, I can see why Mitch wasn't worried about losing the Senate. The Democrats passes watered down "bipartisan" legislation to appease Republicans without actual Republican support. The Republicans still will rail against the legislation to their voters and will leave the Democrats hanging out to dry as usual. Republicans are still in control and they don't even have the White House or Congress.

They will just blame the cancer rather than admit that their selfishness helped to kill yet another Congressman from their party. (if a Democrat had died they would be cheering)

 

Maybe Rep. Wright can have a conversation with the police officer who was murdered by the President Wright so dearly loved. 

They blamed Herman Cain's death on his other ailments rather than the coronavirus. Many of them still think the Covid is a joke.  There was a conservative poster on another board that I go to that was trolling and "owning the libs" by saying that he went out an public without a mask on and posting photos of people not social distancing.

Van Jones was chummy with the Trumps, going to events with Ivanka and Jared and working closely with them, praising Trump for "becoming President" after he bombed Syria, and most reprehensible of all, working on a bare bones police reform plan for Trump then going on CNN and trying to sell it before it became known he was involved in the plan. Yet he still constantly paints himself as some crusader of progressive values, he cried on air over Biden's win, and so forth.

It was either Van Jones or Don Lemon that called Jared the "Secretary of Everything".

What's your take on President Biden meeting with rapper Ice Cube to discuss the Cube's Contract With Black America plan?

I could see him going on Dancing With the Stars if it weren't for him seemingly taking his views very seriously about not being around other women.

 

He should have had better exit plans post-Trump. He clearly thought he could glom on for 4-8 years and be set up, but Trump never gave a damn about him (and wouldn't have even if Pence had gone even further in trying to steal the election), and now Trump's brain-dead cult will also ensure he has no real future post-VP.

 

Such a craven slug. 

 

His political future in the GOP is finished but he  will land somewhere. Some of the left applauded him for the doing the right thing at the certification of the Electoral College when he was just doing his job. When Trump decides to run again  for President  in 2024 (I'm going on the assumption that he not going to be convicted and is still alive), Ivanka is probably going to be his running mate. It's rumored that she's going to run for Senator in Florida in 2022.

I knew there was a reason I never liked her. Non-acting, squeaky flop.

You guys are just finding now  that she's a Republican?? She was in the final 3 along with Elisabeth Hasselbeck (who got the job) and Rachel Campos (Real World) when the View was searching for a young conservative co-host  to replace the progressive Lisa Ling back in 2003. I used to watch the View frequently back then and it's hard to believe that was 18 years ago.

I'm assuming that she's looking for employment at Newsmax or OANN where the rest of conservative degenerates go to when they have burned their bridge over at Fox News and they are too toxic for the rest of mainstream netoworks.

Here's what I don't understand (and if I have my facts wrong, please, by all means, correct me): even if Trump's legal team succeeds in getting votes tossed out, those wouldn't be enough to change the outcome of the election.  Ergo, what is the point in all this, except to burn everything down and keep Trump's name in the papers on his way out?

Trump is trying to get mail in votes tossed out, if he succeeds he will have won in some states and it could overturn the election. Plus Republicans are attempting to do in local and state races too. Some states still haven't certified their votes or haven't officially finished counting. If there was a way I successfully stay away from all sorts of political news for the next 2 months, I would but my paranoia and my professional life won't let me.

Just a little hot air from Pompeo, nothing more.

Trump's trying to do that as POTUS to remain there the rest of his life. It takes 37 or 38 states to overturn the term limits amendment and it isn't far fetched that Republicans will have that control over that many of the states.

Trump and the GOP have already gone all in on stealing the election, the only question remains is how are they going to do it.

I guess they are talking about Trump's plan to attempt to get the GOP electors to vote for him instead of Biden if he can't get his way in the courts. Which of course, would throw this country into total chaos. Which side to do you believe will be told to stand down and quell things.
