He told everyone he spoke to a dead guy in Vegas. Then he did it again 2 more times. He's on the edge I tell you. Almost on the outside looking in. Poor guy actually. And his family is telling him to run again. Shameful. mspart

Too bad DOJ goes there. But all of that is true. He does come across as kindly and old. Truth is he is/was ruthless and a corrupt individual. There is no question he had the documents. If that is good enough to go after Trump, it is good enough for Biden. Everyone hates Trump so he is a good candidate to prosecute. Everyone thinks Biden is a doddering old fool so no one would throw the book at him so don't waste time. That's the way to get real justice. mspart

Three had the temerity to consider this on the merits rather than hatred of Trump. Now that is a simplistic answer but I think it fits. Trump has not been charged with insurrection. I think that was made clear in the SCOTUS arguments. Does a state have the legal authority to drop a presidential candidate that otherwise met all qualifications to be on the ballot is another question that was asked. I think that will play into the decision. From what I read, it looked like an 8-1 vote on this saying CO cannot do what they did. But that can change obviously. This is a big big question. There is plenty of opinion on insurrection. But charges have not been leveled and Trump has not been indicted of it or convicted of it. As I said earlier, just because a few people say so in CO does not make it so. Trump was not part of the proceedings so to levy this on him is a gross miscarriage of justice. He was not able to defend himself so no due process. I think that will also come up for CO And Maine. Now if he had been convicted in federal court of insurrection, 1. he could be ineligible, 2. would be in prison and not campaigning unless allowed to be free during appeals. But this has not happened so this is putting the cart before the horse. mspart

At that point you just hope no one gets hurt. But looks like a lot of fun. mspart

So for 55 we have Zane and for 65 we have Nick going to the Pan Am qualifiers. Is that correct? All other weights are qualified for FS. Is that correct? mspart

So what you are saying is those two saw the truth where 422 of the others did not. And you have a really good bridge to sell me. Got it. mspart

The Constitution is for the self governed. It is not a compact that the government will give you things. It is a compact that the government will allow you to live your life with liberty in your pursuit of happiness. Those were ideals listed in the Declaration of Independence and then after the War and Articles of Confederacy, were guaranteed in the Constitution as the Bill of Rights for starters. There were states that would not sign unless such amendments were added. When all agreed the original Constitution was ratified. Then the Bill of Rights came. In fact, there were 17 original amendments that were whittled down to 12 amendments, only 10 of them made it to ratification. John Adams famously said - “Our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” There's your lesson for today. mspart

Whether they are meeting or not meeting is not the appearance of morning joy, but it is in the words of the philosopher, an understanding of the root causes of who can get it done. Once we get to the root causes, then progress can be made on the root causes so that the root causes will be addressed to address those root causes that we were addressing. And I think about it in that way, too. mspart

The good ole days. mspart

I think BobDole is finally really dead. Has not made an appearance here when summoned. Usually he swoops right in. RIP BobDole. mspart

Rulon leaves his shoes in Paris again. mspart

#2 in Bellator. Doing good there. You might be right Steamboat. I just disagree that he would have been a 4 timer. mspart

Current sources says Kamala. Now there's a real non qualified candidate. Talk about not being able to put coherent sentences together. Kamala - Culture is - it is a reflection of our moment and our time. Right? And present culture is the way we express how we're feeling about the moment, and we should always find times to express how we feel about the moment. That is a reflection of joy. Because, you know, it comes in the morning.' Kamala - We have to find ways to also express the way we feel about the moment in terms of just having language and a connection to how people are experiencing life. And I think about it in that way, too.' She the one next in line. Heaven help us all. mspart

Well, we have a famous lawyer here on these boards that declared this is just too complicated. Since the numbers have come out about entries into TX before the wire and after the wire have come out, no one is talking about it being too complicated anymore. Right on ionel. mspart

Ouch!! mspart

That actually was worth watching. Thank you for posting offthemat. mspart

By the way - Welcome to the show RV. It has been quite a long time since I've seen you post on a forum I was on. They all shut down and I'm glad you found this one. I'm sure we will butt heads like in the glorious times past, but good to see you here. mspart

I love it when a know nothing goes for the full Monty like this. It shows both lack of class, knowledge, temperance, and civility. I'm surprised teen bullying and personal pronouns did not make the list. JRoss responded in a fair minded way that makes this look amateurish. Good job Uncle. You lost the argument by going unhinged. mspart

I notice you are not calling it genocide anymore. That's progress. mspart

Except that they put themselves in that position by their own knowing choices. That is not slavery, that is consequence. mspart

HR 2. This passed the House. Let it pass the Senate. Why is that such a bad thing? We can play that game too. Hey Ds, if you are serious you'll vote for HR2. Come on and show us how serious you are about this issue. Senate Ds say no. We want to have our own bill. Well, the Rs should be making this point very loudly. Put it in the Ds faces. Rs have already taken action. Now it is for the Ds to take action. mspart

Has Haley been dead for decades? mspart

No it is not. What is your point? Is it really a good thing to allow murderers to not be incarcerated? Sex offenders? Robbers? Those that assault with a deadly weapon? I expect you to say close all the prisons. We are not quite there but we do see rising crime rates around the country due to the hamstringing of cops, and prosecutors not prosecuting and judges not following sentencing guidelines and bail guidelines. mspart

So braves121, you are for what exactly? You are for no punishment of offenders whatsoever because they might be required to work? And you call that legitimate slavery? It's not like these people were caught and sold into slavery for the rest of their lives. These are people that know the rules, know what is expected, and decided on their own to not live by those rules and subject themselves to possible incarceration and hard labor. So it was a choice on their part. Whereas a slave does not have a choice. You are trying to equalize a square and a circle. That they have area is true, but that is the end of their similarity. Incarceration is a choice. Pure and simple. mspart

No, you have that wrong. Biden could have not had this situation if he had left the Trump policies in place. It was not too difficult or complicated to leave those in place. It is not too difficult or complicate to put them back in place. He made the conscious decision to remove those policies and we now have the result of his dereliction of duty. And now he wants the Rs to help him fix it? Yeah right. That is cynical politics at the highest level. He does not want it fixed. He wants to put the Rs face in it. Pure and simple. He doesn't care about the border or too many people coming. He only cares that it now is affecting blue states and they are complaining and sounding like Rs. mspart
