    We need referendum voting. None of this crap would be happening right

    Conservatives would answer "no" to all of those.

    The people you should be asking are the Independants and the moderate Democrats. Based on Democrats poll numbers across the board, these groups would answer "no" to all these too.

    Expect things to get very bad for the next year. The Dems know that they are in big trouble in the next election. And they will be either push their agenda hard for the next year to get it in before they are pushed out of office, and/or they will do everything in their power to cheat again in the next election.

    There have been bad air strikes for decades. They were made under every president who presided over that war. But now it's over.

    We need referendum voting. None of this crap would be happening right
    now.

    We don't need any more systemic advantages for Republicans. They have quite enough as it is: gerrymandering, the electoral college, the composition of
    the Senate, plus overly restrictive voting laws passed to prevent
    non-existent widespread voter fraud, and they're working on allowing state legislatures and/or secretaries of state to overrule the votes of people
    within their states.

    The Left really has no comprehension of human nature.

    They are very well-prepared for all this liberal momentum,

    I have to disagree with that. They've been pushing this for a long time now. But when Trump was in office, the glamour that they wore came off for all to see. They realized that people had a glimpse of what has been happening and how quickly their plans can get derailed.

    They are trying to push their agenda hard and fast right now. Because they know that the election next year will be disasterous for them. They need to get as much of their policies in place now because the next several elections will see their policies being dismantled.

    and nobody is going to get in their way.

    Yup. We all know what happened to Epstein.

    The best thing we can do at this point is figure out how to stay alive.

    And resist the push of their Leftie agenda as much as we can.

    Not if they are convinced the vax doesn't work.

    No.

    Hard-core Democrats won't admit they are in favor of it, but they are also
    not bothered too much by it so long as whatever influence is being bought
    does not interfere with whatever causes are important to them (politically hurting Republicans, turning us into a socialist cesspool, etc.).

    That, or they realize that Joe is not really in charge, so buying influence from Hunter the Cokehead doesn't buy much.

    Killing Afghan children to punish ISIS for attacking our men?

    No, but that has been swept under the rug, along with the Americans who are still there.

    The vaccine is a failure. It needs to go back to the research team. It's causing more spread by stopping people from masking. Vaccinated people are in the hospital because they can barely breathe.

    I like the Trump-era guidelines better: wear masks, social distance, don't go near people who are unmasked. <- That stuff works wonders.

    Hello Aaron,

    Do you believe that most Americans are in favor of:

    Forcing people to vaccinate with a vaccine that don't work?

    Fortunately for us all, we have vaccinations that work.

    Telling people to celebrate Halloween but not Christmas?

    Only goblins do that. Most people are not goblins.

    Enticing migrants with "you will NOT be required to vaccinate or even test"
    ?

    Only in Spanish.

    Letting Hunter sell the president's influence???

    Hunter is a private citizen and can do whatever he wants.

    Killing Afghan children to punish ISIS for attacking our men?

    The Taliban promised to take care of ISIS. And the children.

    We need referendum voting. None of this crap would be happening right now.

    Arnold Schwarzenegger is not a natural born citizen.

    A president is elected to a four-year term. Unlike California,
    there is no recall election. Nor is one needed. Once a president's
    term has expired, the next elected president takes office. To a
    four-year term. The only exception is when a vice president takes
    over upon the death or incapacity of a sitting president. In which
    case acting president completes the four-year term the president
    was elected to.

    Of course, Nixon gamed the system by appointing a nobody to serve
    as vice president who promised to grant him a full pardon so Nixon
    could then enjoy his own retirement.

    The only unelected president in history - Gerald R. Ford.

    Hello Alan,

    Do you believe that most Americans are in favor of:

    Forcing people to vaccinate with a vaccine that don't work?

    This is a straight up lie.

    Nobody is being forced to vaccinate with a vaccine.
    Not at the federal level.
    Not at the state level.
    Those who are in the military have to get vaccinated
    if they want to remain in the military. But even then
    they have a choice - the left arm or the right arm.
    But then, civilians also have that choice.

    The efficacy of the vaccine is well know now.

    Even kids know this.

    There's not really a debate anymore, just that right wing narrative based on
    lies.

    What else do they have? An orange guy in a clown suit is where
    they get their information. And given that is their only source
    of information ...

    $1,000,000 to attend events with Trump present.
    So we should put this on a ballot: "Allow selling influence?"

    It's part of the corruption of our system, and Republicans do it far more than Democrats.

    The Trump crime family isn't currently under investigation for it, unlike the Bidens.

    attacked, and killed at Joe Biden's whim, in retaliation for the atta on our officers. Joe showed sent a message: "Mess with our military, we'll kill your children." Then Jeff's message "Anything the media endorses I endorse it too."

    Nope, the military thought they were targeting military targets. Biden himself likely had little if anything to do with it.

    Why not? When Trump sent a retaliatory strike in Syria, he did it without killing any children. Who wears the pants in the white house? Biden using US weaponry to attack a target in Afghanistan after already declaring the operation a success? That shows how full of it he is. And nothing to show for it besides 11 civilians (mostly children) dead? "Biden likely had little to do with it." You're full of it! You're brainwashed so badly that you will lie to defend Democrat child murderers!

    they can stay in power. They're certainly not a majority anymore; the
    only thing they can do is rig the game and win by virtue of the
    electoral college.

    Hello Ron,

    There is a war on christianity. Democrats/liberals feel threatened by
    all which is godly.

    They feel threatened by another power that can control people which the Left
    has no control over.

    President Joe Biden is a practicing Catholic. So is Speaker
    Nancy Pelosi. And lots of other politicians, regardless of party
    affiliation.

    Think of Russia and it's religious purges. It's not that they disliked religion. It was that the religions are a way to control people and the Communists didn't control the church. So they needed to get rid of religion
    because it was in competition with the Communist religion.

    Religion is alive and well in Russia. Vladimir Putin is a deeply
    religious man, and endorsed by the Orthodox Church. He has visited
    Greece, and almost all of the Balkan states, as well as Israel.

    As you know, Communism died with Gorbachev, which was decades ago.
    Today Gorbachev is an old man, and it is doubtful he will ever return
    to power.

    Hello Jeff,

    President Joe Biden is a practicing Catholic. So is Speaker
    Nancy Pelosi. And lots of other politicians, regardless of party
    affiliation.

    If that were true they would not support abortion. The Catholic church has a
    very strong stance on this.

    The pope upholds Catholic doctrine opposing abortion and same-sex
    marriage. But some conservative Catholics in the US and elsewhere
    claim that is not enough. Which could lead to a schism, with right
    wing Catholics in the US having their own little church apart from
    the Catholic Church headed by the pope.

    Joe Biden has not been excommunicated.
    Joe Biden attends Mass on a regular basis.
    Joe Biden continues to receive communion.

    Most Catholics agree with Biden's priorities, their own views
    meshing with his own in regards to protecting the environment,
    combating racial injustice and poverty, and most other issues.

    The pope and Biden see eye to eye on so many issues it is hard
    to believe some conservative Catholics take issue with either of
    them. What is happening is both of them are fighting ideologues.
    Different kinds of ideologues to be sure. But ideologues for sure.
    And those ideologues will never admit they are wrong - on anything.

    Joe Biden displays his faith openly. So does Nancy Pelosi.
    Joe Biden often wears a rosary. And attends Mass routinely.
    Quite unlike other presidents. But then, he is only the
    second Catholic president we have had, with JFK being the
    other.

    "My views are totally consistent with Catholic social doctrine.
    There are elements within the church who say that if you are at
    odds with any of the teachings of the church, you are at odds
    with the church. I think the church is bigger than that."

    That is Joe Biden. In his own words, as quoted by Christian
    Science Monitor in 2007.

    Both Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi consider themselves as being
    faithful Catholics. They have both shown that through their own
    actions.

    Should be interesting times when Joe Biden visits Pope Francis
    this coming Friday.

    No, but that has been swept under the rug, along with the Americans who are still there.

    I still wish one of them could tell me what all this president-switching has accomplished. What's good about any of Joe's stuff so far?

    (1) He doesn't send mean tweets;
    (2) If he hurts someone's feelings, it is less-likely to be a democrat or left-leaning person who was the victim;
    (3) It is more difficult for him to hurt someone's feelings because his
    word salad is difficult to understand;
    (4) For some, he is a Democrat or isn't a Republican.

    That is about it.

    Now, he could have been the one who got us out of Afghanistan.
    Technically, he was, but he is also the one that did so while going back on
    his word about not stranding American citizens, etc. It was so botched that whatever heroic credit he was hoping to take from it went by the wayside in
    all but the eyes of the most loyal.

    Joe Biden has never been denied communion at any church he has
    attended. Nor has he ever been excommunicated. Just because some
    bishops in the US would like to deny him communion does not mean
    they can do so. Even if US bishops acted as a whole, it would be
    almost impossible, as the vote amongst themselves would have to
    be unanimous. Otherwise, their only hope would be for the pope
    himself to dress him down. Which won't happen.

    Hello Mike,

    [..]

    Now, he could have been the one who got us out of Afghanistan.

    Yes, Trump could have done that. But he chose not to do so.
    Which is why Biden pulled the plug.

    Technically, he was,

    No doubt about it. Biden acted as POTUS, doing what three previous
    presidents failed to do.

    Unless it is another "elite." It is when it is not someone who is in their elite club that they have difficulties, including lots of hurt feelings
    when the non-elite says something they don't like.

    Anyone not in their "elite" club is not "elite" and not as good or better than them.

    It brings back the bad feelings that they had when in elementary school, the "unpopular" person got better test stores and won awards while they didn't.

    Now, he could have been the one who got us out of Afghanistan. Technically, he was, but he is also the one that did so while going back on his word about not stranding American citizens, etc. It was so
    botched that whatever heroic credit he was hoping to take from it went
    by the wayside in all but the eyes of the most loyal.

    He's caused the most hurt to this country that we've ever had. This is my
    first time living under such a menacing regime. I've asked my rep to impeach him for anything she can. I hope she listens. Republicans better not bury
    their head in the sand!

    That's why I've been suggesting that we vote the person, not the party.

    There are too many spineless Republicans and RINOs out there today to rely on the Republican party.

    It wouldn't surprise me one bit to find out that the Left infiltrated the Republicans and ruined them like they ruined everything else that they touch.

    I'm with you on that, but it's always Democrats vs Republicans in my
    elections, and 9 times out of 10 the Republican turns out to be great.

    The party lacks leadership. We need a George Soros sugar-daddy type of leader, but all we got is Rona McDaniel, and she's useless.

    Did the RNC ever have quality leadership before? I never hear anything from them.

    I hear you. We just voted this morning. Small ballot. The big item was the millage increase, but I didn't realize that we would be voting for a Senator.

    When we looked at the candidates, I was very disappointed. Our choices were the Dem (No way), the RINO Representative who didn't oppose our tyrannical Governor and then gave lip service when we complained, a Libertarian and one other person. Other than the RINO, we knew nothing about the other candidates.

    IHMO: The Republican Party was long ago infected by the Left. Not to turn Left, but to simply neuter the party. Most Congress-critters are more concerned about their next election and not about the people that they are supposed to be representing.

    Maybe the libertarian is an ok guy, but I fear that 3rd parties like that could only win if they run against just 1 other party. With Dems, Repubs, & Libertarians all running against each other, the libertarian stands too small of a chance (in my opinion.)

    What's the millage increase about?

    I voted for mayor plus a few judges, and there was a bunch of liberal referendum stuff on there. They were trying to trick upstate voters into voting for liberal crap. I voted no against all of it. One question was if we wanted to change our voting districts to include undocumented migrants. What kind of brainwashed lunatic would vote yes fort that? (Besides Jeff!?)

    I respect your answer. It lines up with what I've been noticing from them. In one way, they're our heroes to the rescue, but on the other hand, there's little incentive for any of them to do jack for us, or even for themselves to get elected. Doing what's right is bad, because there's no money in the
    honesty industry.

    That was my problem. I didn't even know we were voting for a senator in this election and I knew almost nothing about the candidates.

    What's the millage increase about?

    Supposedly it was about funding the parks. But as I researched things I see that the city was pulling another "shift and shaft". i.e. the new tax WOULD fund the parks, but not in addition to what was currently being spent. Rather it would be INSTEAD of what was being spent. That money would be used to do other things.

    So, they effectively lied to us. They would be spending the extra money on other things, not parks. They just rearranged the numbers on the books.

    The state did this to us with the Lotto money a number of years ago.

    Yet another reason to abolish career politicians.
