US Elections (& Politics) :)

My wife has been a nurse for 20 years at our local hospital.

Wow...my wife was a RN for 25 years in a hospital setting as well (12 years in Birmingham, AL and 13 more closer to home). She retired October 2015. Her son and his wife are both ER nurses in Birmingham, still on "the front line" so we get lots of feedback and updates.

Better 'RED then DEAD' Bernie the Commie. This guy doesn't even try to hide his Russian Collusion!

Where is our state of Texas in this? Primaries are coming up, I think it's time to get rid of Abbott.

Don't be so quick to dump Abbott. We could end up with Beto. He will be the Dem nominee. At least Abbott has the name and is the incumbent that I think would beat Beto. Put someone else against Beto and Beto could very well be our next governor.

Yeah if I had to pick between Beto and a rino like Abbott I would take Abbott. I kinda wish the other Republicans would agree to all drop out of the primaries except one whom they would support against Abbott but anyone is better than Beto.

With more Blue State people moving to Texas .. Texas needs to rally around it's roots and make a solid political base .. if not, you risk getting watered down with Blue ..

Hear me out....

For starters, I am 100% for what the truckers are doing in Canada right now. The fact that citizens are standing up for themselves and saying enough is enough is what needs to happen world wide.

BUT; I’m not so sure if a truckers revolt or something similar would be very wise in the US right now.
Hear me out.
If a massive protest against edicts were to happen right now it would obviously make the supply chain issues we are seeing even more prevalent. It would more than likely drive up inflation even more due to supply and demand.

Right now we are in a election year and I can fully see the communist media to take full advantage of the supply chain issues they created and claim it all on the “right wing extremist” truckers for causing the high gas prices, food prices and lack of it all.
The RINO’s will also not associate themselves with the revolt and denounce it.

I can fully see the house and senate still going red, but instead of red with guys with backbone, the RINO’s will stay in, which we won’t notice any difference. They’ll work with the vegetable instead of stand up and fight

Then come 24, the RINO’s line Cheney and Mitch The Turtle will continue to destroy the country right with biden and at that election the drive by media will claim everything bad on the RINO run house and senate.

And the "Capitol Police Dept." investigated this and ruled on this themselves? Whatever happened to an impartial third party or at least another police dept. investigating?
How can any organization be be objective when investigating themselves?

I think that has merit but I gave up on the Republican Party when I realized they were no different than the liberals, just more polite as the bent me over.

The only REAL change is going to come from exactly the kind of action, not words, the truckers are demonstrating.

Change only occurs when the pain to remain the same is greater than the pain to change.

Agree’d 10%, the republicans are just as bad as the communists. But, I think We The People are pissed off right now. I would Love to see every rino get primaried by new blood with a spine, then they take over in November.

Imagine a house and senate full of Trump like republicans.

A night with the untouchables - The Reformed Physicist

I live in downtown Ottawa, right in the middle of the trucker convoy protest. They are literally camped out below my bedroom window. My new neighbours moved

maybury.ca

So I read that article and thought it was really well written and balanced. I liked it so much, I linked it on my FaceBook page. Now this is something that I almost NEVER do...post anything REMOTELY political on FB. The only reason I have a FB page is to keep track of relatives and a few friends (yes, I do have a few) and post pics of our travels and some shooting events.

Now I fully expected FB to place a 'Fact Check' stamp on it and say something derogatory about it. But they did not do that. However, I never got a single comment or even a 'Like'. So I asked some folks, including my wife, if they had seen the post. No one had seen it. So FB basically did not place it on anyone's news feed from me. A different way of censuring it.

All our major cities are already Blue. Houston is about 50/50 but the rest, Austin, Dallas, San Antonio vote majority Blue. I think Austin is like 70% Blue in elections. I have been watching big city election results since Obama days.

I understand the Electoral votes are the key to Presidential elections but in Houston, last mid-term we had a wave of Democratic Judges take over and still have a very Defiant Democratic Major and his administration.
