A year and a 2(?) months ago, yes.
It took the GQP 3 days and 15 rounds of voting to settle for Johnson.
This time around if it takes 3 days then the certification of the 2024 results are delayed. And if that gets delayed for 14 days then Trump’s inauguration gets delayed.
The symbolism is almost as perfect as the exploding Tesla in front of Trump Tower: even up to today when Trump wins he’s still a loser.

Yup, Lèse-majesté against President Musk or First Lady Trump. Haven’t you heard it’s a crime to hurt their egos?

I’m not giving up.
Republicans have been telling us for years that they care so deeply about the lives of babies in this country, and that’s why they are obviously anti-abortion. But reports have been out for a while showing that babies are being found in dumpsters and ditches across the state of Texas, and those very same “pro life” Republicans are completely silent. It was never about the life of an infant – it was always about controlling women, as Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains.

I unfortunately feel if they did, they’d make putting babies in dumpsters or ditches illegal.
I could be wrong, though.

Double post.
Judge Merchan has come out and declared that Trump’s sentencing will happen on the 10th.
Except in order to keep people from making the mistake of thinking actions have consequences, he was quick to remind people that this is the American Justice System by indicating that Trump’s sentence will likely be an “Unconditional Discharge”. Literally a ‘you did the crime, but there’s no penalty’ ruling.
No fines, no jail, no house arrest, not even a slap on the wrist. Just a thumbs up and a pat on the back alongside a “sorry for inconveniencing you”.

What was the old saying again? “Everyone is Equal in the eyes of the Law”?
I feel like the past few years have shown how much of a pile of shit that quote really is considering now atter what Trump does, everyone just decides to treat him with the kiddie gloves and let’s him get away with no sort of consequences other then “my fee fees got hurt :c”
Also why does everyone need to type “Double Post” if no one comments anything after them

It’s a polite acknowledgement that yeah you’re posting twice in a row.
I thought this breaking news was important enough to report sooner rather than later, but nobody had responded yet and simply doing a quiet edit means people probably would miss it when someone new did post. So the compromise is a “heads up, I know I’m doing this”.

Well what do you know, another prosecutor supposedly leading the good fight turning out to be just as spineless as Trump is. If that’s his end goal, why did he even bother to sentence Trump in the first place? No love or respect.

What should happen is that they stay down the whole 30 days as per the law.
What’s likely to happen is that Trump will piss and shit his diapers until the feds raise them on Inauguration Day.
If there was any sense they’d wait until 12:01 after Trump is sworn in before bending the knee to the new President and raise the flags then. But based off previous patterns they’ll likely continue to grant Trump presidential powers before he’s even president, so they’ll go up before he even makes it to the Capitol.

The flag, at least in my state, is at half-staff so often that the gesture has become meaningless. The flag should only be lowered to honor the deaths of very important individuals or for major tragedies.
The death of a former President, especially a decent president like Jimmy Carter, is certainly worth putting the flag at half-staff. Some random soldier who died decades ago or a city alderman? Not so much.

81yo House Rep Virginia Foxx (from North Carolina) suffered a fall today on the Congress steps, resulting in “lots of blood”.
First, Virginia Foxx of North Carolina!?
Second, another 81yo? Who just won reelection to serve another 2 years? Can we just like, stop? Please? Especially if they can’t even win a fight against stairs?
