It’s all going to boil down to Election Day/week/month 2024. In the seven swing states, How many republicans will hold their nose and pull the lever for trump, vs being unenthused and staying home.

Remember the creepy, lewd letter Jennifer wrote to Trump during his first campaign?

Completely in character for her now that we know she gave blowjobs in Costco's parking lot.

did this come out in the trial or testimony or rumors around town?

It was the parts about “they are going to take your country away or destroy your country and we can’t let them do that”. There was something to that effect in his speech. I can only assume you're referring to where he said "Because you'll never take back our country with weakness." The entirety of ...

I’ll agree and hope so. I know a family member who worked the census and knocked door to door in Detroit city neighborhoods. It was difficult to get folks to answer the door and participate. I felt bad upon hearing this, as the city needs an accurate count of all Detroit residents for the census (re...

Moreover, if the districts were wrongly drawn up in 2021, and will be corrected for 2024, does that mean every piece of legislation passed in 2022 by said wrongly placed legislators be re-voted on in the state house and senate by newly elected members? Cmon, if,you’re gonna force a do-over, let’s d...

Does this put the Dem majorities at stake in the 2024 elections? We all need to understand both side...

Well, in 2023 we learned from Van Jones on CNN (repeated by many others) black law enforcement officers can be racist against black drivers Opinion: The police who killed Tyre Nichols were Black. But they might still have been driven by racism https://www.cnn.com/2023/01/27/opinions/tyre-nichols-mem...

I didn’t see middle eastern people listed under “white” in that chart. Maybe I missed something. I do recall George Zimmerman being labeled a “white hispanic” back during 2012 and the trial where he was charged with murder of Trayvon martin. And here from NPR a term “multi-racial whiteness” came abo...
