I heard they held an election, so I’m wondering if any of it will effect me?
The results aren’t fully in – hey, I thought you had voting machines for quick results – but I’m seeing reports elsewhere that Trump has been a significant motivator for the Democrats. Apparently it’s not been that the Republicans haven’t voted, it’s just that more people have voted Democrat because of Trump.
Hate to say it, but each day that passes seems to make Kurt Schlichter ever more prophetic.
Well the local governor’s races don’t look too bad. That idiot “yes we are coming for your guns” Beto never had a chance in Texas and our Republican turned Democrat Joy Hofmeister who said that she owned guns and believed in the Second Amendment BUT…. Didn’t do her much good in Oklahoma.
The fact that Francis got more than 10% of the vote (substantially more) depresses me to no end. We need a Split. Won’t happen short of a hot war (which I don’t particularly want), but every day makes it more and more obvious that this continent isn’t big enough for both the Fascists(D) and the Constitutionalists.
+1. More than three million (and counting) “Texans” voted for Beto. Even scarier, the three households in my neighborhood with “Butthole” yard signs are occupied by old folks like me with gray/white hair.
Somebody named Randy over at Theguncounter.com once said there, “The use of the word “but” usually indicates that everything preceding it in a sentence is a lie. E.g.: “I believe in Freedom of Speech, but”. . . “I support the Second Amendment, but”. . .

Just reinforces my opinion that this isn’t the country of my youth. Hell it’s not the country of Ronald Reagan. Half of adults (more of the yoots) are full blown commies. This struggle will continue for next 100 years. Matt Bracken turning out to he a prophet. Read his enemies trilogy. I am betting that America disappears by next century. Just one lifetime away.
Will it last another hundred years? I doubt it. Either the fix is in with ballot fraud or the electorate is too stupid to vote against inflation, high gas prices, high food prices, high utility costs, bare shelves at the market, excessive spending, burdensome taxes, etc

The country of my youth . . . I can’t remember the last time someone said, “It’s a free country” non-ironically. I can’t recall when someone last said it at all.
And now the broken record plays: “We must consider where we went wrong and organize and vote harder next time! Repent!”
How many times have we heard that song? The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.
As a Pennsylvanian, I’ll tell you what provided the margin of fraud: the message that a snake oil selling carpetbagger from New Jersey who celebrated the loss of constitutionally protected body autonomy, hammered relentlessy for months on all media, was sufficient to persuade enough that a literally brain damaged pseudo-thug was the lesser evil.
As a voter, I’m used to having to evaluate greater and lesser evil. Evaluating greater and lesser cognitive impairment is a new one.
And I also suspect that the Dems have found a useful pattern there.
“constitutionally protected body autonomy”? I’m guessing you mean the made-up “right” to murder one’s own children? That’s not mentioned in the Constitution, and the overturn of Roe was the righting of a long-standing wrong.
Roe v. Wade needed to be overturned, because it was bad jurisprudence from the get go, wildly stretching the meanings of words to protect a desired conclusion.
The reality is that in our Constitutional order, as written, understood and ratified, the FedGov has NO POWER not specifically granted to it. As written, originally understood and ratified, such things go to the State, and if that level of constitution does not support it, it falls to the people.
So, we can either have a Constitutional order of fixed and determinate meaning, or we can have what we have now: a jello like, partially collapsed constitution whose meaning is whatever the party with the most votes says it means.
THAT is why Roe v. Wade needed to be overturned.

The roaring sound you hear is a standing ovation from the rational people of the republic.
Jabrwok,
You’re absolutely right. Was it Brandeis who said that your right to swing your fist ends at the tip of another person’s nose?
The problem is that people are choosing infanticide do not look to reason to come to their conclusion. They fear and abhor personal responsibility. They have not matured beyond the toddler mentality or the adolescent stage of development. When these people are spoken to in order to educate them, they get all indignant because they don’t want to hear the truth because it shakes their malconceived ideas.

What we needed today was boobies to make me forget what happened last night for as long as I didn’t look away.
Thank God Veto didn’t even come close. Smelly little pandering Kennedy wannabe asshole.

And for the moment, thank God for Texas.
