This was going to happen.... The Hispanics are a conservative people, with blue collar values.

 

 

 

Check out the polls on how much Hispanics want strong immigration policy and how many actually are in favor of the border wall.

But the key is if voting rights is handled now it will impact the next 8 years, and who is in office.  If the gerrymandering and other GOP led initiatives being put forth at a state level were curbed by a congressional bill I think the liklihood of the GOP rebounding and taking house and or congress is slim to none.

 

We've proven time and again in this country that the majority of people want a democrat in presidential office.  The only thing holding that back is electoral college, and all these crazy moves the GOP is trying to take in order to limit the impact of likely democratic voters.

And your last point is a good one - I will have to go searching for a comparison of state to state voting rules.  They are def dramatically different but would be interesting to see how it shakes out for each and check the patterns (of which I am confident there are)

Gerrymandering isn’t unique to Republicans. 
 

Chuck Schumer just admitted on video the reason they want the government taker of elections bill is so they can win more elections. 
 

As been said before here, the GA and TX bills are less restrictive than state laws in true blue states like Deleware.

these republicans are not like the republicans of the past.  you have even said so and claimed you were happy about that.   that these republicans fight and are not pushovers.who will give in to the dems.     these republicans do whatever needs to be done to grab more power.    they prevented a supreme court justice nomination in the last year of 1 presidents term with claims that it shouldn't be done...and pushing another in the last week of another presidents term.    drafting memos and inciting a riot to try and over come an election in an effort to keep trump in office.   obstructing investigations to protect a con man.   the pattern is there.  if it benefits them...they will do it.

 

LOL

What mistake? I'm trying to figure out what you're getting at here. Looks like a Charlie from Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia conspiracy theory to me so far. 

No idea what the Philly reference is to but the mistake of being the PR person for a riot instigator.

remember what they said and did about the supreme court?   Mitch says hi.  you are wrong...again.

Maybe you don’t know the difference between the words right and wrong.  Republicans have had control of all three institutions before and done nothing on the filibuster even when the Republican President pushed the Majority leader to do so.  I am right….again.

Why do Republicans want to make voting hard for people?  What are they scared of? 

Why do Democrats claim it’s hard to vote?  Hint…it’s not. What are they scared of? 

I can’t figure out why Kinzinger would make such a mistake with that press release of his.

Misrepresenting hospitalizations and causes of deaths seems to be all the rage these days.

 

Man, it's so difficult to parse through the "news" and find the truth.

Kinda like saying 5 people died in Jan 6th riot when 4 were from natural causes.

the republicans would debate for maybe 2 mili seconds before getting rid of the filibuster if it benefited them.   

Mitch McConnell says hi and that your probably wrong.   Again.

They're thinking there won't be a next month without doing this, because Republicans are busy destroying voting rights. 

 

The only way voting rights gets passed is if they end the filibuster. It's a gamble either way.

People already have the right to vote, it’s easy to vote, and no eligible voter is having their right to vote stripped away.   It’s a strawman argument to federalize elections which would be awful for the country.  All these posters know this but for some reason won’t admit it.

And why would that fake news be pushed here?  It couldn't possibly be to deflect from, and discredit, an investigation into their Leader or their party.   It almost makes you think s#!t's about to hit the fan so better find a new conspiracy theory to feed the base.   

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think anyone has posted about the red guy here before.

Sorry, there is only room for two of us.  

https://www.mediaite.com/tv/the-hypocrisy-is-on-full-display-charles-payne-rips-biden-after-he-called-to-end-the-filibuster/
 

And, a lot of contradictions. When the president says a majority rule … then in effect if they were to vote on a filibuster, or getting rid of it, the majority would vote against it. When the president brought up dark money, in the last election $1 billion dollars, but President Biden got $174 million in anonymous donations — back then, President Trump only got $25 million. When he talked about the filibuster and its vicious, insidious nature and its racist history, well, as it turns out, from 2019 to 2020, Democrats used it 328 times, shattering a record. So, I mean, the hypocrisy is on full display there, Bob.

so that 1 guy instigated the whole thing.   he called everyone to washington and told them to march to the capitol. 

Is that what I said?   Nooooooooooooooooooo

What I said, is that Epps was very vocal about getting the people that were already there to become rioters vs protesters. They very well may have done so without his encouragement.  But he is on tape doing so.  Multiple times.  Very boisterous.  Unabashedly yelling to go inside the Capitol.   Yet he isn’t charged.

Now that we know Archy has a very dry, Norm Macdonald-like, sense of humor it shines a whole new light on his posts.

 

He’s just been yankin’ our chains! 

HA.  You wish.  I’m a married man.

the main instigator was Donald J. Trump.  and he is still instigating.    i am sorry you can't admit that.   and the biggest part of the republican party is doing all they can to protect him because a big part of the party was complicit 

Trump never told anyone to go inside the Capitol.  This guy was VERY VERY vocal about telling everyone to go inside the Capitol.  I am sorry you can’t admit that.

Ha!  I thought you were joking too!

 

As much time as you spend on here, did you actually believe @B.B. Hemingwayfancied identity politics?

 

Now that’s funny!

I was joking and I guess I need to spell out my Norm Macdonald dry humor at the bottom of the posts. It doesn’t play well on a message board.  My apologies.  
 

i certainly know @B.B. Hemingway doesn’t fancy identity politics and we have our own humor thing going.  Remember the cats??  And the take things literally post of your?

my thought is that he isn't charged because he is cooperating.    

why do you think someone is lying about it?

    

I think lots of people who cooperated were still charged and sentenced.  Except the main inciter at the Capitol and the night before.  
 

I think some entity told Epps to be very vocal about getting people to break the police barriers.  

5 minutes ago, commando said:

why won't trump answer questions under oath?   and why does he order everyone to not cooperate with the investigation?

 

I don’t know why he won’t answer questions. Maybe for the same reason the fbi won’t answer the questions, the answers may not be pleasant for either of them.  
 

Do you have any idea why Epps is the lucky one to not face criminal charges? 

Just now, Scarlet said:

 

Committee:  are you an FBI agent or informant?

Epps:  no

Committee:  ok. case closed.  Thank you for coming.  Get that statement drafted pronto.  Gotta get ahead of this quickly.  
 

I love how he calls Epps nothing but a “protest attendee”.  He’s kinda the main person inciting everyone else to storm the Capitol  

But ya, the committee really wants the truth on everything and it’s not political  

Just now, Scarlet said:

I agree.  I'm not sure why Trump hasn't been charged 

Cute, but why not answer the actual question?   Seems like a straightforward one. 

27 minutes ago, deedsker said:

So Trump pressured the FBI to use informants to try and overthrow the election and democracy during the insurrection?

Possible, possibly not.   We won’t know till the FBI answers the questions.  
 

Do you think it’s a tad bit strange that a person caught on tape inciting a riot twice is one of the few if only persons not being charged (who they can identify anyway) for their participation in Jan 6th?

Oooooo I'd love to have Rand ask Mr Trump how with his government salary he feels like he can accuse trained professionals that their thinking is wrong.  And to have that yodel from KS ask about Don's financial disclosures ... and those are just the clips I caught today on the fly.

They are insulting as well as stupid.  

So I take it you didn’t want to answer the questions I asked earlier
