    Movement?

    Would that be a political movement, or a bowel-movement?

    Oh..... LOL..... I am just loving this.

    You are missing that part about Dominion literally licking it's chops to have all the data laid out during the discovery process, especially all of Guiliani's lies.

    Also, most of the cases were dismissed on procedural issues because the cases themselves were about procedural issues, because Guiliani and Co didn't have enough balls to actually claim fraud in front of the judge, knowing that they would then be perjurying themselves and would therefore put themselves into legal jeopardy. See how that works??

    Also to consider is that the amount that Dominion is suing for, in (until now) both cases (but there will be more) is sky-high and they would not be doing this were they not thinking that they have an airtight case.

    So, let's all break out the popcorn and rootbeer and watch Rudy sweat his hair makeup.

    that is completely incorrect and totally embarrassing for you.

    First, Ras does poll adults, it just doesn't release the data.

    Second, Ras has a historically, consistently verifiable house-effect of at least 4 points to the right on quite literally everything.

    Third, the premium pollsters all poll RV when it comes to presidential approval. They simply decide to publish the Adults (without respect to voter registration) with the RV results because you know, adults who are not registered to vote also have a right to voice their mind, whether you like it or not.

    And unlike RAS, the truly premium pollsters do not hide their internals. RAS does.

    Education can cure such ignorance. Really, it can.

    Interestingly enough, not one single time over the last years did you voice your direct opposition to even one single Trump EO, or am I wrong?

    Feel free to lead me to the postings where you bravely opposed his EOs, since you are clearly guided on moral and ethical grounds to be against them.

    Looking forward to reading those postings.

    Thanks.

    Yes, your assuming arrogance is wrong and general puffery off putting. My opinions are fairly consistent.

    I expressed the same disdain for EO's in January and into February last year when Trump was beginning his 4th year in office. EO's are an infantile battle of men in temporary power armed with erasable ink to sign temporary edicts and big eraser to undo the predecessors' temporary edicts. That's not good governance. It's failed government. Nothing gets done.

    Obama erased Bush's temporary EO's. Trump erased Obama's temporary EO's. Biden is erasing Trump's EO's.

    EO's reflect weak men acting like junkyard dogs playing a game of alpha male with each other and pissing on the Oval Office to temporarily mark their territory.

    I doubt he will ever run for office again. My guess is that he has visions of being the George Soros of the right. I'm not very good at guessing future political activity, however.

    I think their is some credence to that line of thinking. Most of them did submit to him from fear of the "tweet".

    Well if were being honest, EVERYTHING about the pandemic was political to the Trump administration.

    Yes, the left did play some politics, but that would be about 5% of what the Republicans did. Republicans literally went against the medical community, the dems actually supported what the medical community said.

    Cool story, Bro (Sis), but still, you did not mention Trump by name except to say that he erased Obama's EOs.

    Is that really the best you have to offer.

    Oh, and let's talk about arrogance....

    ....LOL... that's a conversation we can gladly have, yesiree.

    You're talking about elected officials going with against the medical community or the citizens? I find neither to be the case either way.

    Governors across the country implemented the "15 days to stop the spread" and the additional "30 more days to stop the spread". Texas and Florida immediately isolated off nursing homes patients and separated infected residents from the non-infected. After that initial 45 day period, when some citizens were going broke financially and others dying from disrupted health procedures and the Covid spike didn't appear, governors went their own way and made independent decisions for their constituents. Some governors went to balance economics and health; other decided to be punitive on their people to harm the economy until the election. As far as citizens, Birx continually messaged that young "invincible" people were not taking the virus seriously and were the main cause of the initial spread to parents and grandparents who were getting very sick and dying. No partisanship involved in that.

    The only Republican who balked at some of the actions taken was the shut downs of the economy was Donald Trump. He was correct to do so. There has been little correlation between shutdown or open economic activity and spikes/decreases in the virus. Now Democrat state governors are lagging behind Republican governors on economic conditions and begging for billions of federal tax dollars to bail them out for their bad decisions.

    I will agree that everything about the pandemic was political after the first 45-days of lockdowns. But it was the Dems who punished citizens for the political reason of crashing the economy to help Biden's chances of election to office.

    Nah. I don't see any value in having further conversations with you or anyone else who isn't here to have an objective debate on issues and alternative opinions. I ain't got time. Goodbye.

    Executive orders should be unconstitutional except for very limited use like emergency threats to national security. Legislating from the Executive Office only creates further divides.

    Not sure I would go as far as unconstitutional, but 100% agree their use should be limited.

    Trump may have to move his residence. :)

    https://www.yahoo.com/huffpost/trump-maralago-palm-beach-legal-review-224354531.html
    The town of Palm Beach, Florida, is reviewing Donald Trump’s use of his Mar-a-Lago Club as a residence, even as the former president is set to once again violate a length-of-stay provision he himself agreed to three decades ago.

    I recall hearing about this earlier this year. In true Trump form, he probably thinks he can skirt the rules (which he agreed to decades ago). It will be interesting to see if he is somehow held to the 21 days per year. He's just now passed the 7 consecutive days.

    I also read that many people are leaving Maralago as they don't want to be near the former President.
    https://www.cnn.com/2021/01/24/business/mar-a-lago-donald-trump-guests/index.html

    It's amazing how self entitled he is. I get that he's a millionaire (or billionaire depending on who you ask) but he flagrantly shows the world that he thinks he's above everyone else and can do anything he wants. That's why he can't accept that his bullying and citing insurrection are not okay.

    They can definitely tie up the courts and create chaos in an otherwise orderly system. Texas already sued and won a restraining order against Biden's EO to stop all deportations, including people who have already been charged with crimes and authorized for deportation back to their country. Not enforcing our immigration laws, or trying to override our laws with an EO is certainly not constitutional.

    As many EO's as Biden is shoving through every day, I would expect mountains of legal challenges coming next.

    I think Romney has his eye on running again; although by 2024 he'd be 77 years old as well. Those Mormons seem to take good care of themselves though, and Romney still looks and acts pretty youthful.

    Trump acts old and abrasive, but his policies are spot-on, and that's what matters to me. I have no idea if he's going to run again or not.
