 Al Cracka is a far more serious threat to the Republic.   By whole orders of magnitude.

Two GOP presidents, who lost the popular vote but scored the Electoral College, have Used GOP majorities in Congress to change the rules and break every norm and stack the courts top to bottom.

A minority of Democrats and a majority of journos insist on fighting by Queensbury Rules while the GOP replace the padding in their gloves with plaster.
If not for moderate Dems the future would very bright and the GOP would have hit the canvas in 2009 - 2010.

In the war on terror it's a very good idea not to be afraid to stamp visa and immigration documents DECLINED
If they're not on your soil they can't blow you up, or hack your head off on London Bridge or a bridge in Chicago.

I am not afraid of Al Qaeda ...

Pay attention, bitches.

Larry is petrified of moderate Dems who believe in Democracy.

Hopefully the US will start making those nuke missiles in Australia soon...as reported recently.

If we have a good CIA, then we will not need nuclear missiles. We just surgically remove problems early. We keep the problems small, and we do not let the problems grow so huge that we need nukes.

When I worked at China Lake we were working on the Star Wars Missile Defense Program, we wanted to be able to shoot down missiles. So, there is that too, soon we will be able to shoot down missiles. And we already have a pretty good missile defense program, and so does Israel.

Salute,

Tony V.

A good missile attack program is also needed, to scare the enemy and let it know what will happen to it if it goes firing missiles.
Rockets get fired into Israel ...Israel fires missiles back...then the rockets stop.

Maybe we should beat the enemy by figuring persuasion over profitable brute force?

Been trying to persuade them for decades, but they won't have any of it and still seem intent on driving Israelis into the sea.

Persuade the Taliban to stop harbouring Al Qaeda rerrorists?
Tried that...Taliban just laughed.

I'm no fan of Sinema or Manchin, but they do have to get elected and the question seems to be "would you rather have an actual Republican in there?"

And I suppose  the answer to that is "well they might as well be Republicans."  Which is exactly the same thing that Ralph Nader argued when he asserted that there was no difference between the Democratic Party and the Republican Party.  I wonder if Nader believed that when GWB became President.

I am angry they are holding back efforts to SAVE our Democracy.

Neither of them have to run until 2024.

If the Democrats in the Senate will not protect voting rights and access before 2022 it will not matter.

[Yankguy1]

Fair enough, they don't have to run until 2024.  And they had to win before, though. And the question remains: would you rather have a Republican in their seats instead?

Presumably they're trying to thread the needle and represent what they perceive as the views of their constituency.  Isn't that part of representative democracy too.  If you want to make the Senate a national body that's another discussion.

Kristen Sinema is a former social worker and former member of the Green Party. She is also the first openly bisexual elected to the Senate.  She ran and won as a Progressive. She has become a pawn of the USCC and ALEC.

The question is why?

Manchin is a pawn of oil, gas and Pfizer.

It is not about their electoral chances.

Would you rather have a Republican in their seats?

In the ultimate admission against interest, ( White House Chief of Staff Ron) Klain admitted that the OSHA vaccine mandate was a mere work around limits imposed on the federal government. The problem is that the thing being worked aroundis the Constitution

Would you rather have a Republican in their seats?

No.

[LarryBnDC]

Would you rather have a Republican in their seats?

Missing the point.

Pass the legislation and then brag about it.

Something beats nothing.

What is GOP offering but hatred, divisiveness and literally, death?

It is the ones who believe the logical moral and cultural center is to their right and not to their left as it is in actuality that are so fucking scary. There is nothing on the right except endless bestial atrocious failures floating on a sea of carnage.
