Yep, this is exactly why we have to have a COS (Convention of States) to cut off the money supply, this is the problem. Notice that the MSM, GOPe, dems, and uniparty types bury this topic every time, year after year, and now decade after decade.

The national debt may very well be pushing $35,000,000,000,000 when Jao Xiden is pushed out in a couple years. The interest alone on this money would crush any other country, the only way the USA is able buy off time is to...what else...print more fake money making the problem worse.

I don’t think you understand how this works.

Manchin and Sinema are the equivalent of John McCain and Lisa Murkowski. They’re the ones who volunteer to publicly oppose any Senate bill that the party’s grassroots supporters want, but their big-money donors oppose. If the Democrats win one more seat in the Senate, they’ll simply find one more stooge to join the other two in blocking those difficult bills.

“ Mail in ballot harvesting explains it”

That’s certainly one mechanism they employed. There are many fronts in their war on us.

You have a much more conspiratorial view of reality than I.

The Democratic Party, like the Republican Party, is not a unified block the leadership can order around.

Sure, they have lots of pull. They don't have the control you think they do.

We will just disagree.

Maybe I’m confused. First you said that the Democrats can wreak havoc on this country if they get one more vote in the Senate. Then you say they’re not “a unified block the leadership can order around.”

I agree with your second point … which is why so much of the political maneuvering in Washington — especially in the Senate — involves leadership figuring out ways to let individual representatives OPPOSE legislation behind closed doors while publicly casting ineffective votes in the chamber.

I’ve said for years that if the GOP (for example) ever won a filibuster-proof majority of 65-35 in the Senate, they’d immediately change the rules and raise the filibuster threshold from 60 to 70 just to cover their asses and let a lot of bills “lose” even with 65 votes.

“How else can one explain Fetterman or Biden?“

Ballot manipulation.

There is NO POSSIBLE way that Plugs Biden got the most votes of ANYONE to ever run for President - when he didn’t even bother to campaign. Even if he DID campaign… prior to November 2020, even democrat voters didn’t want him.

Citizens didn’t vote these clowns in. Voting was rigged. Again. Not just sour grapes here either. We see how they do it with the counting “pauses”, the trucks delivering boxes of ballots in the dead of night; the absolute vertical spikes at peculiar times in the vote counts, etc…

And no one in positions to do anything about it WILL do anything about it.

If they take the House they’ll be lame duck

It’s ugly.

There are a lot of fighters on our side I am reminded so we’ll just need to rally.

The American people don’t want Dems to run it

Maybe. Hard to know.

The Democrats had already demonstrated their willingness to nationalize the elections, and render election integrity meaningless.

They only lacked the votes of Senators Sinema and Manchin.

So, they had already shown solidarity on this issue. The others, packing the court and adding two new states, were already popular in the House. It seems likely they would have passed as well, if Sinema and Manchin had been on board.

The motive was easily understandable: Why give up power, once you had achieved it?

When you think of the USA as an evil state, and the Constitution as a sham, why not?

If the GOP actually wins a majority in the House, with the right leadership, it can use the power of the purse to shut the government down, especially the USPS, until a “Republican form of government” is restored. The RINOs certainly did sabotage the midterms, and yes they want Trump gone, but Trump should never have endorsed McCarthy for Speaker. Never!

A couple of days before the election I heard Brit Hume say it would be very difficult for Rs to have a complete sweep. He was right.

Let's predict the stooge with a short list.

Probably somebody that just got "elected", so six years before the "voters" can touch him or her.

That is why the terms of senators must be shortened to 4 years. It will require an Article V Convention of States for that to happen.

Why doesn’t Trump just come out and say it. If he doesn’t trust me enough then I don’t trust him either.
