The Democrats have moved very far to the left, but they can’t get any of their legislation passed. There are some pretty big differences in a lot of areas, but I get your point. The Republican leadership in the House and Senate is worthless. I’ll take Rand Paul to war with me any day. Everyone else in the Senate has disappointed me at some point. Mike Lee is OK too, but not the guy you want out there trying to make persuasive arguments to the general public. In the House…eh, I don’t know. Massie? Jordan? It’s slim pickings. 50 GOP senators but only a few I think are trying to do the right things: Rand Paul and John Kennedy, maybe Ron Johnson. I'm keeping an eye on Marsha Blackburn and Tommy Tuberville; it remains to be seen how they vote on major issues. Josh Hawley seems to make a lot of noise, but I'm not convinced yet. In the house, Jim Jordan, Paul Gossar, Thomas Massie, Mo Brooks, a few first-termers like Ronny Jackson, Laurent Boebert, maybe Marjorie Taylor Greene. Keeping an eye on Matt Gaetz and Lee Zeldin. We need term limits. We don't need senators and representatives who are so entrenched in their positions for decades that they no longer represent the people they're supposed to represent.

TeamAudra Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 (edited) “Full MAGA” What the hell does that mean? He goes on to say he’s “governing like Trump,” and lists all of the Democrat policies he should be implementing. These aren’t even Trump specific policies that Larry is complaining about. They use this on DeSantis too…”just like Trump”…..”even scarier than Trump”….”Trump clone , only smarter,” etc. These are clearly manufactured talking points. What kind of tactic is this? They think hanging “MAGA” around their necks hurts them politically. After all of this time, they are still running against Trump. The only politicians using “MAGA” are some of those who Trump has endorsed in upcoming primaries. Edited February 20, 2022 by TeamAudra 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compared to the leftist VA government, he might as well be a right-wing extremist since they're so far left that anyone right of center (even a moderate like Youngkin) is a right-wing extremist. And what's wrong with MAGA anyway. Don't they want to make America great, that they're turning the slogan into a bad thing?

season1 Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 (edited) The US truckers convoys start this week. But it seems there are two different groups organizing. And one of the groups is insinuating that the other group is fake. The first group (seems to be the bigger one) is called The People's Convoy. https://thepeoplesconvoy.org/ They're starting their drive from CA on 2/23/22 and will arrive in DC on 3/5/22. They're aligned with Freedom Flyers (the group of pilots and airline workers protesting against the mandates), Dr. Malone (the inventor of mRNA who is speaking out against the mandates), Dr. Pierre Kory (FLCCC), liberty lawyers like Thomas Renz, several pastors and faith groups, and other groups who are vocal against the mandates. Here's their press release: https://rwmalonemd.substack.com/p/press-release-american-truckers-are Quote The convoy is being assisted by retired military personnel and security experts, who are spearheading logistics in order to ensure a 100% safe, lawful, and peaceful journey. ... The People’s Convoy will abide by agreements with local authorities, and terminate in the vicinity of the DC area, but will NOT be going into DC proper. The second group is called "Freedom Convoy USA" and only has an IG account and FB group with less than 700 likes (created on 2/17/22): https://www.facebook.com/FreedomConvoyUsa2022 A Maryland mayoral candidate is one of its spokesperson. They're leaving CA on 3/25/22 and arriving in DC on 3/1/22 before the SOTU. https://americanmilitarynews.com/2022/02/freedom-convoy-usa-trucker-protest-set-to-arrive-in-dc-for-biden-state-of-the-union-address/ I hope both groups are legitimate. But I won't be surprised if one of them could be a setup. We'll see what happens this week and next with the convoys.

Comprised of everyday Americans from across the country, the nationwide protest is set to kick off on the west coast on March 1 and aims to arrive in Washington, D.C. by March 7. According to co-organizer and head of the movement’s Indiana-Ohio region Nicole Robinson, the convoy will accumulate truckers and supporters living in Midwestern, Southern, and Eastern states as it makes its way towards the U.S. capital. https://thefederalist.com/2022/02/21/exclusive-american-freedom-convoy-set-to-launch-on-march-1/ Edited February 22, 2022 by season1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will probably be more of that in the months to come. I hope people don’t fall for that. This and the fact that the mandates are being lifted are the reasons why I feel that the Democrats may in-fact maintain control of the House and Senate this coming November. I feel like a broken record saying it but my concern is still there and hasn't faded. Edited February 22, 2022 by Gmm99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The larger cities that still have covid mandates are going to vote Democrat either way, and many of them seem reluctant to give up their face diapers anyway. There is a lot working against the Democrats, but we do still have a long way to go. I do not expect Joe Biden to make a miraculous turnaround between now and November. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeamAudra Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 (edited) Republicans flipped a Democrat seat on the Jacksonville City Council today, in a special election. This may not seem like a huge deal on the surface, but the Democrat (he recently passed away) won that seat by 17 points in 2019. Lots of high profile Florida politicians got involved, including DeSantis, Scott, Crist and Fried. Democrats are freaking out over DeSantis’ robocall, where he says… "Nick’s opponent is a radical leftist who openly supports defunding the police and taking officers off the streets.” The red wave is coming. Here are the results. A 17 point Democrat win in 2019…more than a 3 point win for the Republican in 2022. 20 point swing!

He seemed alright when he was governor of FL but he kinda disappeared when he went to the Senate. I don't think he has a chance for President in 2024 or later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
