Loved that show.
Binged it not long ago.
Revisiting ‘24’ soon.

Re: Maine/ Nebraska
Although this may sound “fair” at the outset, especially if your candidate benefits, second thoughts lead me to believe it is just another manipulation of the EC to turn it into a “popular vote”. If implemented nationwide, large population centers (read liberal cities) would own every election.

n all but two states, electoral votes are winner-take-all.1 The candidate winning the popular vote normally receives all of that state’s votes. Maine and Nebraska have taken a different approach. Using the congressional district method, these states allocate two electoral votes to the state popular vote winner, and then one electoral vote to the popular vote winner in each congressional district (2 in Maine, 3 in Nebraska). This creates multiple popular vote contests in these states, which could lead to a split electoral vote.
Maine enacted this rule in advance of the 1972 presidential election, while Nebraska enacted it starting with the 1992 election. The first split happened in the 2008 election. That year, Barack Obama won Nebraska’s 2nd District (Omaha and its suburbs), gaining a Democratic electoral vote in that state for the first time since 1964.
Maine had its first split in 2016, when Donald Trump won Maine’s 2nd District, which covers most of the state away from Portland, Augusta and nearby coastal areas. Statewide, Maine last voted Republican in 1988.
In 2020, District 2 in each state was won by the candidate of the statewide popular vote loser. While the first time this has happened, the two votes also effectively cancelled each other out.
I was talking with a friend yesterday who told me he has a source high up in the border patrol. He says the estimates of 10-12,000 illegals is waaaay off. More like double that depending on the weather. The worse it is the more they take advantage of it.

I believe it. The lower estimate is fed to the public to prevent outrage which would result in citizens taking matters into their own hands. Texas citizens did that once before. Citizens armed themselves and patrolled the border, but that blankety-blank Bush sided with Mexico and put an end to it.
Look at the timestamp on your post….
Listen to that tail thumping…! 😂
NATO Admits ‘No Direct Threat From Russia’ As UK Army Chief Tells Citizens Prepare For Massive War
Agreed. That was great!
Maybe because they're the epicenter / "Ground Zero"? That's the only reason I can think of . . .
Yes, they do exist. I work for a bunch of them. (Not doctors, the other group)
Another thing I have pondering is, could this have been executed a little differently under a “Presidential Emergency Action Declaration” (PEAD)?
_________________________________________
That might have actually happened. I recall that the D’s were trying to get access to PDJT’s PEADs but were thwarted. If there was a PEAD that set up the CIV/MIL panel that you refer to, the November 2020 shuffle at the Pentagon may have ensured that such a panel was loyal to the Constitution. After firing Defense Secretary Esper and replacing him with Chris Miller, President Trump also replaced the Pentagon’s three top positions - Chief of Staff (Kash Patel), Undersecretary for Policy (Ezra Watnick-Cohen) and Undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence and Security (Anthony Tata). Those people were subsequently replaced by Biden, but we have no way of knowing what actions they took during those two months to protect the country. I assume they implemented the Continuity of Government procedures, which many of us here believe continue to this day.
Doesn’t matter to the Obama team. They are running all the Biden attacks on the American people and will continue to do the same under Moochele/Mike. All the more reason that Trump has to stop the corruption in voting and win the Presidency.
Bad as GWB’s “nuculer”.
Hefner ran a honeypot for the CIA.

It does look that way.
Yep on both shows.
I suspect that the Military sees the problems of the third-worlders invading Europe that Europe and are at least trying to get the British to start considering the idea of some sort of conflict without defining the action that might happen and without the U.S. having any direct involvement.
Adding South Carolina to the list.

I did t realize until post 1425 that you are correct!
