Trump is a d bag

the buck stops somewhere else

i would be too if i was rewarded all my life for acting like one.

If I had to sum up Trump in one quote, that would be it.

He might have been fine before his stroke... but I'd bet my house neither Fetterman or Biden could pass a GED test right now... Biden has Alzheimer's and Fetterman has some major cognitive issues from his stroke... it's not a speech impediment...

I'm hoping that will make some of his supports who are not hard core realize that Trump is the reason there wasn't a red wave...

zero chance I vote for him in the primary... god forbid he wins the primary and I have to choose between Biden and Trump again...

Glad I have a doctorate

I seem to remember that.

I sounded the alarm, Swish.
Way back when, I was the "Coalimine's canary."

And just recently, I dedicated an entire PP thread about how Ohio's voter lines are drawn.
I even embedded links to a (nationally-recognized) radio program/podcast that told the entire story about Ohio's 'redward shift' since the 44 admin.

Ohio's vote tallies look as they do because of how our voting districts are drawn/gerrymandered.
Most Ohio citizens don't realize that they just voted in an election based upon a voting map that was found unconstitutional by its very own State Supreme Court.

Dawgs: click ^this^ link to get your Ohio learn on.

And then, go to my thread about "drawing lines"...and enter the discussion a subject like this deserves. Take the 45 minutes to actually listen to this accounting of what our elected representatives have done. The entire report/op-ed is based upon public record.

THIS S# ACTUALLY HAPPENED ON OUR WATCH!
...and it's influencing election results in Ohio in every election cycle, to this day.

*spoiler: Ohio's GOP failed/foiled to draw acceptable new map lines FIVE TIMES before The Supremes. The elected reps who were under the gun to re-draw proper maps simply tossed up bulls#... and ran out the clock. As a result, Ohio has been casting votes in an electoral system that has been ruled unconstitutional by its own Supreme Court.


I vote in Ohio's 419. The 9th.
The voting map of my district shifted from 80 miles east of Toledo (toward CLE), to 80 miles westward toward the IN state line (rural red counties).
Marcy Kaptur was re-elected to her seat in the 9th because she works here, listens here, and represents here. Her opponent was a Jan 9 insurrectionist participant with zero bona fides regarding anything politics... and the vote count was closer than any reasonably cognizant person could/should predict: 56.5& to 43.5%.

Swish: The J.D. Vance win didn't surprise me. Not at all. In fact, I expected it... even though I held out about 15-20% of hope.
I've watched My State turn from a perennial swing state/purple af to solidly red over the past decade because of map drawing... and nothing else.[/B]
(I'm 'bout to give up on all you DT mfz, when it comes to 'political talk-... )

10 years ago, I linked this same show in a thread I authored about Operation Red Map.
It received the same paltry level of traffic that Clem's most recent thread starter did.


I tried to start this conversation a week back.
I tried to start this conversation a decade ago.


Maybe you'll start tryna hear me now.
-or not.



Swish: The People of Our State haven't really changed... but the maps that represent Us most certainly have.





.02,
Clemdawg.

j/c...

Democrats likely had to win this race to have an outside shot at retaining control of the House. New redistricting in AZ-01 favored republicans in this race. Likely a competitive seat for years to come.

I appreciate your post, Clem. However, in JD’s case, we’re talking about a statewide election. I’m probably more right than Swish on many political issues, but on this particular candidate, my disgust levels equate with his. Since he’s a statewide voted senator, I’m more concerned with where we have gone as a whole.

When it comes to the gerrymandering, that’s a huge problem. Perhaps our biggest problem as a nation when it comes to politics to the point where I think the constitution needs to be amended. Hell, the fact that Jim Jordan exists and his seahorse of a district keeps him in office makes me want to hurl.

Every time I see his name in the news, followed by a “R, Ohio” I just want to add another line that says “He’s not my fault, I swear!”

In Ohio, the Ohio Supreme Court (majority GOP Ohio SC) rejected the GOP gerrymandered maps on three separate decisions and we were still stuck with them. With the republicans winning all three Ohio Supreme Court races on the ballot, I'd say it's likely the absurdly gerrymandered districts are here to stay.

It is a slap in the face to Ohio voters who overwhelmingly voted for the fair redistricting.

It's actually a testament to Sykes, Kaptur (especially her) and Landsman that they were able to win.

No surprise that Vance won, but he grossly under performed when looking at the margin in which DeWine won.

Ohio voters strongly supported democrats in the Ohio School Board seats and ousted DeWine appointees and those that were considered "RW extremists."

you see some of those losers in eastern WA and OR vote to become part of Idaho?

Dems are gonna mess around and hold the house!

Thank you Dr. Jay.

My stalker with no experience in law who thinks he's a law expert is back in full force. You're still not very good at this.

In what?

We were talking doctor stuff, not lawer stuff. Please pay attention and do try to keep up.

And I said I am not a lawyer, I never said I didn't have experience with laws and legislative things. Again, try to keep up.

Yet you had the opportunity to point that out for days and you never did. Now you try and make that BS up?



I'm keeping up just fine.

You've had ample chance to point out your expertise, but you don't. I don't need to justify my experience to you, I don't run around telling people they aren't allowed an opinion because they aren't formally trained.

Care you drop your resume here now or are you going to deflect and spin?

Trying to flip the coin. Can't you come up with anything original? I wasn't the one who claimed I knew how every guns right case would be decided from this point forward. That would be you. Maybe I should consult you on any future surgeries I may need as well.

And yet this discussion was about medical knowledge.

Maybe you should list your resume so we know what you are allowed to have an opinion on. No? Typical.

Opinions are completely different than predictions or a diagnosis. Try to keep up.

Since i am neither an attorney or psychic educated opinion is what I write. I never claimed otherwise, but at least my opinions are based on reading and understanding how things work and not simply using "nu-uh" like the nonsense you seem to favor.

Where's that resume of yours? Or are you going to deflect again?

You claimed it was settled law and that's how future cases would be decided. That's not an opinion. Don't backtrack now.

What does this have to do with Biden's mental capacity other than you are butthurt?

To be butthurt would require me to take you seriously. That's never going to happen. I've wiped the floor with too many of your kind before. It's exactly the same way you were predicting future legal cases. Only this time it involved a medical diagnosis by someone who was not qualified to do so. Try to keep up.

You really do suffer from delusions of grandeur.

Can we have your resume now? What are your areas of expertise or do you want to continue to bloviate about topics from other threads?

He poured cement for a living. I'm not kidding.

Nobody pours cement. Not even for a living. I’m not kidding.

It's an honest job, but I suppose he should only have opinions on cement and cement accessories.

What's wrong with that? I poured plenty of concrete but that didn't keep me from learning about other things.

WTH is a cement accessory?

Cement boots?

Lol

Wa
Water? Sticks that make the cement flat? idk lol

Thank you... was cringing seeing the posts about pouring cement:

You pour concrete - and there are concrete accessories. Cement is an ingredient of concrete that binds the aggregates together. Concrete accessories would be things like rebar, anchors, forms, ties, finishing tools, expansion and crack control joint materials - the list is very long.
