“Let us be truthful, they stole the Georga runoff.”

Let’s also be truthful in that many ‘conservatives’ helped them with their steal by listening to Lin Wood and ‘boycotting’ the runoff to ‘teach the GOP a lesson’.

Ted Rall can’t count. Reagan won 44 states. LBJ won 44. FDR won 42 out of 48. Obama won - wait for it: a measly 28.
Obama’s egotistical speeches made GOP areas angrier - they turned out in force at mid-terms, and put an end to his majorities.

Let's also remember: this joker was afraid to govern for fear it would leave a mark; he'd have to take responsibility.

He left office w/ a munificent federal "inheritance," a tax-free foundation worth millions and multi-million dollar book and Netflix contracts.

Which tells us his sole raison d'etre for seeking office ......to get rich quick.

Biden’s plans in office are eerily similar to Obama’s......get richer .... even quicker.

Biden already went for climate change....the MO to lift billions from the taxpayers. And his “mask madate” that cues China to launder all of it.

The Biden Crime Family are all lying in wait.....salivating for federal sinecures, humongous salaries, several pensions and billion dollar federal contracts.

Yep, this is the same guy. I initially paused on posting it, but it seemed to have a few good points amidst the crazy. I *do* think it’ll be bad, but I also see a lot of potential problems.

Things are different now.

Things are ALWAYS different. And yet, history repeats itself...Napoleon invading Russia was different from Germany invading the Soviet Union.

And it ALWAYS looks bad. MacArthur left Corregidor. The Blitz. The siege at Bastogne. Pearl Harbor. Pusan. IBM and GE were going to own all of us. Carter. And who can forget the Battle of New Orleans - certainly the few thousand Americans were no match for the 8000+ British soldiers. It was only a matter of time before the British took New Orleans and, with that win, America became a colony again.

Oh wait...

Now, prudence will dictate that one soberly assess the opposition. Big Tech is on the move and squish Republicans are of no help.

But just as "things are different now" for them, things are different for US, too. There are 80MM voters who are disenfranchised and they spend a LOT of money. Are you saying that those 80MM are just going to take their marbles and go home?

And let's just take a minute and say, in all candor, that of all the Dems who COULD have been their candidate, are we "better off" with Biden as the winner* or would we prefer Hiawatha? Maybe Bernie? How does President Buttigieg sound? Or Commander-in-chief Klobuchar and her comb fork? Yes, Biden is bad, but considering the clown car of primary picks, I'd rather face President Dementia*.

Point taken, but I hope my point is also taken.

I don’t think Biden and the Democrats are going to be around much longer.

You need a constitutional amendment to make DC a state. Not going to happen.

And at last polling, Puerto Rico did not want statehood. Remaining a territory suited them just fine.

Well I’ve been reading about this and their is a lot op people say that you can.. I’m not in the know, but the Constitution does not say anything about Making DC a State..

Article I

Section 8
Clause 17

To exercise exclusive Legislation in all Cases whatsoever, over such District (not exceeding ten Miles square) as may, by Cession of particular States, and the Acceptance of Congress, become the Seat of Government of the United States, and to exercise like Authority over all Places purchased by the Consent of the Legislature of the State in which the Same shall be, for the Erection of Forts, Magazines, Arsenals, dock-Yards, and other needful Buildings;–And
