    Why so few? There are many more Americans.

    Does Spiegel mention anything about the case Texas has brought to the Supreme Court? Let me explain it.

    According to our Constitution only State legislators who are voted in by the people are allowed to pick the electors who will choose the President. The State of Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan and Wisconsin decided before the election to allow the electors to be chosen by the judges or government officials that have not been voted in.

    By doing this, the Democrats insured that no one would question the integrity of the election, since they will be the ones choosing the electors. Of course it was deliberate and right now
    18 States are backing Texas and pressuring the Supreme Court to take the case. Of course the Democrat States have massed against them since they are liberals and could care less about our Constitution

    As the saying goes, it ain't over until the fat lady sings:

    I'm amazed that 108 Republican members of congress have signed onto the Texas lawsuit to overturn the election. That's like hiring a shuttle to be taken out to the Titanic as it begins sinking. Republicans never get tired of losing. I used to think that in ten years we would be hard pressed to find anyone who would admit that they voted for Trump. I was wrong. Just as southerners never tire in reliving their Civil War defeat. Instead of walking away from the loser I expect the GOP to embrace him more tightly. Erecting monuments right next to their other traitorous hero's

    Still not aware the lawsuit addresses unconstitutional issues? They are not asking to overturn the election but to follow constitutional processes.

    The Constitution only matters to the left when they can use it to get what they want.

    Do you realize that the strict observers of the Constitution are in the majority in the Supreme Court - and our Constitution does not allow judges and State officials to choose the electors?

    Oh that's right I forgot, the Supreme Court does not reign supreme, it's CNN, NBC, google, etc., etc.

    Your first point is silly - " poor me - the some nation had an opinion I don't like - and this somehow equates to dems wanting our elections decided by foreigners "

    Your second point was right on the money - up to the " 100%of Dems approve" which is an obvious generalization fallacy on the surface - and demonstrable nonsense down deep - as it was Red who bear more responsibility for outsourcing our economy than Blue - "Reaganomics".

    now that hyperbolic is out of the way.

    Absolutely Germany wants us to provide their defense - and pick up the tab. They would be stupid not to.
    That said - the reality - is that we are not defending Germany from anything .. Germany has no realistic threats - from which we would defend them from. France is well capable and better positioned to anihilate Russia - and lets face it .. nukes pointed at Germany are Pointed at France.

    France and Russia are not going to nuclear war anytime soon .. and if they do - our "defense" matters not.

    Where you are on the money - is here - although I am guessing you were not aware ..but you kind of stumbled upon it.

    The Geopolitical Chessboard has Changed - particularly since the advent of nukes. Throughout all history prior to this point - if your economy was on the ropes you could just attack your neighbor - and take his stuff.

    You can not attack a nuclear superpower and not destroy yourself at the same time. Since the advent of the nuke - the capability and number of enemies able carry out such things have both increased. So it is easier and more can do it.

    For this reason .. Military is no longer the strongest piece on the geopolitical Chessboard - and in fact its value has declined precipitously over the last 2 decades. From a Rook to a bishop or knight ..

    In any case - the strongest piece is now economic .. that is the real war going on.. and while we spend over 1.2 Trillion per year - Total Spend - the VA .. CIA - the whole thing. - other nations are diverting capital to economic.

    Simply put - we have been making huge blunders on the geopolitical chessboard - attributing way too much value to Military.

    Just as an aside - a point of interest - Blue is now Neocon - has been at least throughout Obama - Folks like Gabbard are Demonized - Fox gave her more Press than here own Blue media -and when the Blue media gave her press it was negative - and propaganda laden .. and this was disturbing.

    So it is written .. So it shall be done .. by others - but the rules don't apply to us.

    This "do as we say - not as we do" has been wearing very think among the international community .. and yes Jake - The international community matters. Now more than ever .. for reasons outlined in my response to your post.

    As soon as you realize the real war is economic ..your perspective of our position on the board changes . and thus your moves. and we have been making big blunders in general over the last number of decades ... but Trump has taken blunder to a new level .. using the economic nuclear option - usurping the sovereignty and waging economic war on every nation on the planet - at the same time as you are having a Trade war with the second largest player on the board.

    This move was bold .. but it was way over extended .. and we are now being harshly punished. That is one good thing about a change of the guard .. but Biden will not be able to plug holes in the dam that is now broken.. Covid was the final nail in the coffin .. welcome to the new world.

    For reference - The day the US dollar ceases to be the "SOLE" world reserve currency / system of international payment - meaning there is a valid competitor our there - will be the day the history books will record as the defacto end of the US economic Empire.

    I'm sure that if SCOTUS hears the case that California, New York, Washington, Oregon, etcetera have numerous issues that they would love to take Texas to court over. Reciprocity - it will be a bitch.

    BTW - since Texas Governor Abbott took it upon himself to change election rules unilaterally, shouldn't Paxton be suing his ass as well?

    Everything within a State can be changed through its legislature, except that which is mentioned in our nation's Constitution. When a change is made to the Constitution and the rights given to the people through their elected state delegates, then it's a serious matter and requires the Supreme Court to step in.

    I couldn't understand why Trump said way before the election that it will be decided by the Supreme Court. I guess he realized what the Democrats and some globalists Republicans were up to, when Penn., Mich, Ga., and Wisconsin changed the rules and gave the courts and government officials the right to choose the electors, rather than the State legislature as specified in the Constitution.

    For your information and that of everyone on the forum, this is not a Trump or Republican issue. Trump is opposed by the liberal globalists who believe in open borders and a one world government. It is a sovereignty issue. Will we continue to exist as a nation really depends on Trump. This is why Ivanka told him to be as resolute as Abraham Lincoln.

    Karma is a *bi*ch*. Behavior has consequences. He has too many psychopathic personality traits to be a good POTUS. The civilized world sees that. the world is not unsophisticated ,nor it is uneducated.

    It matters little if a publication is right or left.......... as what matters is if its the truth and facts.

    Reality: he deserves the feedback that the is getting. and if he plays the victim.......don't fall for it. He is a master manipulator. His bullying is not strength.

    Agree, history will not be kind to Trump.........and nor should it be. But it will take tie for the dust to settle as he has such a psychological grip on so many now. Reminiscent of how a cult works.... where leaders have a psychological control over their followers.

    The way he has mismanaged the pandemic is evidence of his callous indifference to the population that voted him in. .....and what he has done since the election is tantamount to crazy (mentally deranged ) behavior. He is not a rational person, who can't even handle his rage effectively . Exploding on Twitter is not president Name calling is childish. but his "followers" think all that is cool. with them.and elevate him into a "dear leader ' status.
    The Republican party is no more. It used to be a party of values etc..........Now the unethical Trump controls them.

    I doubt if most Americans could name a single foreign leader.

    Remember they are educated by liberals where the extent of their teaching stops at, "white man bad".

    Well you should all be happy, the Supreme Court rejected the case because Texas wasn't able to show how they were affected by what the States did.

    The constitution - not to mention basic reality - wins again. :applause:

    "Texas has not demonstrated a judicially cognizable interest in the manner in which another State conducts its elections. All other pending motions are dismissed as moot."

    Being president simply exacerbated Donald Trump's worst characteristics.

    Trump never gave a damn about the Presidency. Never read a brief, never listened to his advisors. He only told them what he thought they should hear.

    But nuking hurricanes is not gonna stop them from appearing.

    4 years of a charade. 4 years of preparing the nation to swallow the lie of a rigged election.
    Trump was only ever interested in his own survival, even if it meant denying people's right to a fair election result.
    Never was there an American more un-American than Trump.

    Enemy of his own country.

    Trump rather sees America burn to the ground than respect the right of the American people to live in peace and quiet.
    He'll BS them to death, if the Corona virus doesn't kill them first.
    293.000 Corona dead (and counting) and millions more unemployed leaves Trump cold.

    He'd rather lie to the living that a fair election is not worth believing in.


    History will indeed not be kind to Trump.

    Why should it if he tried to r*pe it for his own pleasure...?

    Another day - another Biden win.
    What's this - the seventeenth day in row that Biden has been elected President.

    I am not at all surprised that the Supremes refused hear that idiotic Texas lawsuit. I am a little surprised that about 60% of congressional Republicans joined this suit. I will never understand why these people want to want to web themselves to this ignominious chapter of American history.

    You obviously cared a little. I show my lack of care for a thread by not even bothering to read it.
