Politics is all about picking winners and losers.

Politics is all about picking winners and losers.
that used to be true, now it's about trying to gerrymander, suppress voters who don't support your side, and filling local government with lackies who will cheat for you...if you're a republican...
if you're a democrat, it's about trying to counter all that, without giving in to the temptation that will make you just as evil as the republicans have become

Picking winners and losers includes yourself if you are the new breed of Republican.

you mean Fascists?
right? At least the corporate dems can hide the fascism behind socially progressive rhetoric. The republicans are just mask off with it now. (I use the older definition of fascism “the consolidation of state and corporate power”)it really is the foundation of both the neoconservative and neoliberal movements. That’s why shit doesn’t really change regardless of which party’s in power. Same bombs drop, same austerity measures(mostly) still taken, only real difference is in domestic social issues.

wars get started about equally between democratic and republican administrations, historically. also about equally distributed are how many of each are not responsible for starting a new conflict. there are too many variables to even start taking them into consideration. it seems war crimes are also about equally distributed, although those really have a lot more to do with the men comitting them than the politicians who sent them there.
so it seems the real difference is how social issues are dealt with. if all thing are equal, otherwise (and i don't think they are...) then i'll go with the party that tries to ensure that everyone has equal representation, that tries to teach children the truth, that isn't trying to bring back jim crow laws...the party that hasn't led us into a recession EVERY time they get into power...the party that doesn't burn books...

GOP senator says Pence did his 'constitutional duty' in certifying 2020 election
Sen. John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) said on Sunday he believes former Vice President Pence did his “constitutional duty” by certifying the 2020 election.
During an appearance on “Fox News Sunday,” host Martha MacCallum played Barrasso a clip of Pence’s remarks about former President Trump saying the former vice president had the right to overturn the 2020 election.

“And I heard this week that President Trump said I had the right to overturn the election. President Trump is wrong. I had no right to overturn the election,” Pence said at an event on Friday. “The presidency belongs to the American people, and the American people alone.”
In response, Barrasso noted on Sunday that he voted to certify the election.

"I think Mike Pence did his constitutional duty that day,” Barrasso told MacCallum.
"It's not the Congress that elects the president," he added. "President Trump and Mike Pence did remarkable things for this country. I hope they can work out their differences.”

Barrasso also said that the Republican Party has to be more unified and be more focused on issues including high prices, inflation and high crime rates in U.S. cities.

Another Rino
Rubio says 'vice presidents can't simply decide not to certify an election'
Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) on Sunday said “vice presidents can't simply decide not to certify an election,” breaking with former President Trump after he suggested that then-Vice President Mike Pence had the ability to overturn the results of the 2020 election.

Asked by moderator Margaret Brennan on CBS’s “Face the Nation” if he agreed with Pence — who on Friday said he had “no right to overturn the election” — Rubio said that after examining the matter, he concluded that vice presidents do not have the power to not certify an election.
“Well, if President Trump runs for reelection, I believe he would defeat Joe Biden, and I don't want Kamala Harris to have the power as vice president to overturn that election, and ... that's the same thing that I concluded back in January of 2021,” Rubio said.

“You know, when that issue was raised, I looked at it, had analyzed it and came to the same conclusion that vice presidents can't simply decide not to certify an election,” he added.

Pressed by Brennan on if he believes Trump was wrong, Rubio reiterated, "I just don't think a vice president has that power because if the vice president has that power, Donald Trump would defeat Joe Biden in ... two years, and then Kamala Harris can decide not to overturn the election.”
“I don't want to wind up there,” he added.

Missouri's state government passed a law last year making it *illegal* for local police to cooperate with the FBI, ATF, and DHS on *any* Federal firearms crime - including domestic terrorism. Tomorrow, the law faces the Missouri Supreme Court.
fucking morons think that will stand with the federal government? if it passes the missouri supreme court, which i doubt, it'll get knocked down in the Supreme Court, even packed full of magats, they won't allow that to stand
