Ms Ocasio-Cortez missing Max Rose already

It’s also personal personally very difficult because to lose these people, you know, many of them are my colleagues, and I’m proud to call many of them my friends, and the idea that they may not be returning next term, or that they aren’t returning next term, is extremely difficult on both just a personal and a policy and a political level," Ocasio-Cortez continued, according to Fox.


C'mon. lass - work across the aisle.

With who?

In 2020, there is an apparent winner, even according to Trump.

Every member of the Senate GOP caucus declined invitations to appear on "Meet the Press" this Sunday, according to the show's host Chuck Todd.

“We invited every single Republican senator to appear on Meet the Press this morning. They all declined," said Todd on Sunday's show.

Pretty wild!

You would think they did not want to be put on the spot about the presidential succession and Trump's refusal to allow the transition to move forward.

Or about COVID-19 and the administrations refusal to even attempt to address the immediate situation.
LOL!
Two vaccines possibly by summer is  NO attempt?
And under the Constitution there is no President Elect, yet.

You can't read.

And the term is "apparent winner," Ward. Keep up. It's in the law as well as in the contract which I provided.
The precedent set by the Clinton Administration in the contested 2000 election is that to ascertain an apparent President-Elect there would need to be a concession—which has not yet occurred in 2020—or no more legitimate continuing legal challenges—which has not yet occurred in 2020.

According to Congressional intent and past precedent set by President Clinton, as of today, there is no apparent President-Elect.

YOU might want to keep up.

You're out of date.

In 2000, there was no apparent winner. for a long time.

In 2010, they redid the law.


In 2020, there is an apparent winner, even according to Trump.
Nope.
Ask Hillary.
Never mind , you already agreed with her

Since you’re about 1-20 you may want to rethink the use of ‘legitimate.’

It's the only thing that matters, according to the contract: "apparent winner." The "president-elect" status is not important for this part.

So some of you might remember my friends in PA who went and voted together for Trump on election day with the wife carrying a gun in case anything happened.  They're both college educated by the way (white female, asian male) and grew up in NORTH NJ. I exchanged texts with the husband today. 

me: "How're you guys handling the election results... you believe it or nah?"

he: "I'm in denial.  I still think Guiliani is gonna blow up the election with fraud."

me: "But you were a democrat before Trump, right?"

he: "I was.  The first time I ever voted was for Obama.  Twice."

me: "What happened?"

he: "I become disenfranchised by his actions and liked Trump as a bull in a china shop!"

me: "Well he did pull some BS so the metaphor works."

he: "And did some damage to the shop too! *facepalm Emoji"

me:  "What abut Obama made you feel that way?"

he: "I think he catered too much to big business and made shitty deals with NK and Iran. I thought he was going to help the middle and lower classes more."

South Dakota Nurse: Dying COVID Patients Think It’s Fake

Doering says some of her patients are also in denial, willing to believe almost anything else has made them so sick. “People want it to be influenza, they want it to be pneumonia, we’ve even had people say, ‘I think it could be lung cancer,’” she said. The nurse said that when she offers to hook some patients up with family by FaceTime for a last conversation, they say, ‘No, because I’m doing fine.’” She said the attitude is taking a toll on health-care workers. ‘It’s like a movie where the credits never roll,” she said.

It will be important if we hope to guide ourselves through the current morass, whenever a trump supporting republican speaks, to envision hundreds of thousands of corpses hanging around their neck as a result of republican bad judgement and wrongness.

If assigning criminal culpability would help the public in this regard, then prosecution of the evil rat bastards infesting the republican party is certainly advisable.

You know where I stand. I truly believe a lot of this shit was purposeful.

Text exchange continued ...


me: "Trump hasn't been any different. Cozied up to and lent credibility to Kim in NK and hasn't done a thing to Iran.  Iran just had its sanctions lifted. So all trumped up  talk no action.  Obama inherited a bad economy from Bush coming out of the sub-prime  mortgage crisis and had to bail out banks and Trump rode the economy for three years until COVID.  Now Biden has to inherit the COVID mess.  Democrats are always inheriting crises that happened under Republican administrations and having to do clean-up. "

he: "I don't agree with all of his policies and not a fan of his personality but I thnk he has gotten things done.  Peace talks with the Middle East and NK.  Limited Chinese influence and power on the US.  Made all politicians on both sides feel that the status quo must change.  I'm not a liberal or conservative but have values on both sides."

Kiid is feeling extra lonely these days.

kid is like those Japanese soldiers in WW2 stationed on isolated Phillipine islands not capable of accepting the defeat of the Japanese Empire. Totally brainwashed and oblivious to reason. So they dug in and kept waging war on peaceful Phillipinos years after the war.

Kid-war's over, you lost.

But if it makes you feel better stay hidden in the jungle.
