The deep state has been trying to federalize elections for a long time. Does H.R.1 ring a bell? I don’t see them deferring to the states on Federal Elections.
And Barkley never said, “I love you bro?” It’s straight up guy talk, referencing brotherly love, not carnal desire.
But what if it was??? Does this mean the Barkley’s etc. are homophobic? Oooh, that would be ironic.
I’m reminded of that scene in the movie “Braodcast News” where someone calls someone a dyke and a woman at a workstation, obviously butch, turns around and says “you got a problem with that?” She delivered the line perfectly.
How to finesse Heels-up? Consider the Torricelli gambit. Slow Joe stays in past the convention, having obtained the nomination. Suddenly his health takes a turn for the worse but not enough to trip the 25th. He declares he wants to retire at the end of his current term. Jill gets a “special” talking-to and the whole Biden family gets pardons. Maybe not the 7th grandchild though.
Now it is out of the hands of the delegates and in the hands of the DNC, just like they did for Torricelli. Here comes Big Mike and it is considered an even swap for Heels-up, the gender and melatonin purportedly the same.
Here comes Obama’s 4th term. No objection from the staff because they simply continue doing what they are doing. That would be an issue if it was anyone but Mike.
It’s about time! But I see two problems. First, getting it passed with the makeup of Congress. Second, it will depend on how SCOTUS defines “counting the whole number of persons in each State” from the 14th Amendment, Section 2. I think the only way to accomplish the objective is by Amendment and the states losing voters, e.g. Cali, would not ratify.
Any politician that did not see this coming is hardly worth their carbon footprint. It is not 3D chess, it’s not chess or even checkers. So look for the other reason. Many delivery companies are Cali-based, are they not? Uber Eats, for example. Out of SanFran, no? So let’s see a contribution list for all the yea votes. I’ll bet there is a story there.
On the Vivake Haley exchange. Sorry, she went full emo and played the kid card, not responding to what he was trying to say. And it was an important point, reach out to pockets of the electorate on the platform they choose to use.
She did something similar with the gender card when DeSantis made the 3-inch heels (how unfortunate - tone deaf? or meant to provoke? interesting.
