This is why I can't understand how single issue abortion voters support Biden. "Vote for me and I'll codify Roe v Wade into law!"

1- Roe was a judicial decision and the executive has no say over it.
2- Codifying a law is the House's job. He can ask for it but can't force it.
3- Roe was overturned while he was president, proving he couldn't or didn't want to prevent it.
4- Democrats have fundraised on codifying Roe for decades, and they've never introduced a bill during one of their multiple majorities to do so.

Why would they ever give you what you want when they know you're never going to vote for anyone but them? Why go out of your way to appease a demographic that's already 100% loyal to you?

The SC decision overturning Roe explicitly says that no federal law on abortion to ban or allow would be constitutional because this decision is up to the states. All the jawboning about it at the federal level is for fundraising purposes.

The Democratic Party's strategy appears to be focused on getting Joe Biden across the finish line in the 2024 election, even if it's just barely. Once they secure a win, they can potentially pivot to Kamala Harris, who embodies the party's diversity and progressive ideals. At this point, it's clear that Biden's advanced age and health concerns make it unlikely he'll be able to withstand the rigors of another four-year term.

That's what we said the last time. It didn't happen. Everyone but Biden will be trying to run the show. Which they will fail at while the country continues its downward spiral.

Biden's team is dead set on staying put. Even if it means puppeteering a man who's brains has more whole than Swiss cheese.

It took me 30 seconds on Yandex to find this paper. The top result is Influence Watch's page on the TIP. They link to a paper and its still up.

If you had to be in charge of redesigning the american political system what would you do?
I would personally double the amount of senators and represenatives in each state so its harder for lobbyists to control government.

-Enact state electoral college so cities don't have a stranglehold on states
-abolish the Civil Rights Act
-No taxation without representation means also no representation without taxation. If you don't vote you don't pay taxes, if you don't pay taxes you don't vote
-Taxes paid over a minimum (10%) are directed at the discretion of the taxpayer. Say you pay 25% taxes, you get to choose where you want that 15% you paid over the base minimum, infrastructure, education, military, welfare, etc
-Do away with high school as we know it and replace it with a sort of trade school like approach broken into two segments. When entering you get to choose a track you want to enter for two years, tech, agriculture, healthcare, trades, etc. After two years you can choose to change track or do further education in the original track.
-Require all public officials to wear body cameras recording 24/7
-Replace prison with public whippings as the punishment for most non-violent offenses

Joe does that in his Delaware house. He doens't have to let the feds know who's coming over.

If that does happen, the dems and media will condemn Trump for it.

They DID condemn him for it, any time he was at Mar A Lago or Trump Tower or Bedminster or any other property he owned while he was in office, they crucified him over it. There's nothing new under the sun.

Yes however I believe that well has run dry. "It's becoming increasingly clear that the Biden administration is running on fumes. The President's visible exhaustion is a growing concern, and the mainstream media's recent criticism of him suggests they're also starting to lose faith. It's unlikely they can sustain another four years of his presidency while pulling the strings from behind the scenes.

As for why Kamala Harris wasn't installed as President from the start, I believe the party underestimated just how unpopular she is with many Americans. It would have been a tough sell to get her installed, and now they're facing a difficult situation with limited options. The Democratic Party may have backed themselves into a corner, and it's unclear how they'll move forward from here.

  • You can't vote unless you are a male who can deadlift his own bodyweight, run a mile under six minutes, and hit a man-sized target at 100 yd with unaided vision and a rifle you, personally own. Otherwise, you are materially dependent on others for your physical security, incapable of defending the state in case of invasion, and have no business telling those who keep you alive what to do.
  • Senators are nominated by the executive of the state and confirmed by the legislature, and may be recalled by the executive at any time.
  • The executive may not deploy troops in foreign countries without either a treaty or a formal declaration of war.
That fixes a lot.

CUTTING JOE LOOSE​

Cartoon published 07/06/2024

We at GrrrGraphics have long said Obama still has a big hand in the Biden administration. Barack still maintains a fancy residence in Washington DC, after all. He’s there to remain plugged in and also pull strings from behind the scenes.


Biden is a disaster and a danger to the country. I’ve said it would be great if Joe doesn’t step down because Trump would beat him easily. Trump might have more trouble against Michelle Obama or Hillary Clinton, but the point is, Joe is a clear and present danger to the country. We can’t wait until November. Joe has GOT to go. He’s too close to the nuclear football and his dementia could inadvertently lead us to nuclear war.

Here is a partial list of Biden’s verbal gaffes:

“I feel as long as I gave it my all and I did the goodest job as I know I can do…”

“We’re gonna protect our children from getting weapons of war off our streets!”

“…I’m proud to be a black woman!”

“I’m the only president this century that doesn’t have any — this decade — that doesn’t have any troops dying anywhere in the world, like [Trump] did.”

“Ho ho ho, happy Independence Day!” (Christmas in July?)

The US Border Patrol union “endorsed me, endorsed my position.”

“We finally beat Medicare!”

“ I have a 6…I mean 8 (golf) handicap.”

After his persistent and embarrassing blubbering, Biden is still running. Jill and Hunter told him he’s perfectly fine, so now Joe is digging in his heels. He may have dementia, but that does not obviate his narcissism and hubris. Joe will run even if he drags the country down with him toward his inevitable defeat. The fact that his son Hunter is recommending he fire key people in his staff is telling. Do we really want a drug-addicted felon making top-level decisions in the White House? Do we really want a power-hungry and unelected woman, Jill Biden, telling Joe what to do? That seems to be happening.

The only person who can stop this is Barack Obama himself. He and his operatives still control a lot of the Democrat Party. So do the Clintons. I doubt Joe will listen to Hillary, but he will listen to Barrack. Obama needs to cut Joe’s strings and put him out to pasture in order to ‘protect our Democracy.’ (And our Republic).

I prefer the original law of the land, which granted voting rights exclusively to White male landowners. If, however, we are to update this law to reflect the changing times, then I believe that land ownership should be the sole requirement for participating in the democratic process, as it ensures that individuals have a tangible stake in the country's future.

Would also completely erase Democratic voters as they all have the same landlords

Make it that you have to hold the title with no liens or debt

This develops directly into feudalism, and it ends with disenfranchised soldiers, tired of fighting their landlords' wars, overthrowing the state and slaughtering the landholders like pigs. The most recent variation on this ended in Bolshevism.

If you're going to restrict it to people who have a stake in the future, it should be restricted to married men with natural-born children. Childless landlords die just as dead as everyone else.

They don't. The MSM is just trying to innoculate their viewer base against siding with him. Easiest way to do that is to say everything he says is a lie, even though most of his so-called 'lies' are either A) hyperbole (bragging on himself) and/or B) opinions. A small amount of stuff he says is true but so hurtful to the regime that they can't allow you to recognise that it's true
