What if that's the only way the athlete can win is by taking illegal performance-enhancing drugs?
That’s the Republican Party in 2019...
Why would Mitch McConnell block election security legislation?
Whose brilliant idea was it to give Senate Majority Leader unlimited power to decide what to put for a vote and what not to? Same as in the House. With a rule like that America has never truly been a democracy.
I realize the 17th amendment didn’t happen until the early 20th century but our founding fathers failed to predict the alliance of trump, Mitch and Barr.
I think they had an inkling though, given the fact that many of them were opposed to political parties and the factionalism that it breeds. George Washington's farewell address somewhat anticipated this when speaking about political parties.
But overall, yes, they were all very idealistic and probably couldn't envision such a bald-faced abdication of civic duty nor a citizenry who would rather be entertained by a propaganda machine calling itself "news" than governed with justice.
The perfect storm - a terrible, divisive, self-interested, illegitimate president, a Senate majority leader who is owned by Russia, a compliant, invertebrate set of Republicans, and a roiling country. The perfect storm.
If our democracy holds up, eventually we will be proud again. There are 20-some GOP Senate seats up for grabs in 2020. Thankfully trump loyalists are a small faction of the overall electorate.
@PainfulTruth i have read it, in fact i have my own copy. Have you read it. i can tell by your statements that you have not even opened a page. most american don't want a crook for a president and those that do either made money off his tax plan or are bigoted dumb fucks. reply when you have actually read the report. and i don't own a tv.
@PainfulTruth @PainfulTruth funny how you have the power to read minds. i never said i was ok with either, yet you think you know my mind. and btw i have been civil to you, not called you or your party any names and i would appreciate the same courteous from you. after all you are representing your party, unless your saying your party is full of mudslinging, foul mouthed idiots. i don't think it is but judging by you.... as for past presidents, the last two republicans were nothing to be proud of. bush was a crook and george w lied to get us into a war we still can't extricate ourselves from. not to mention taking 9 minutes to even process 9/11 much less take action. no president is perfect but neither clinton nor obama played golf constantly, tweeted or even said the insults Trump does. They had stable cabinents that one did not have to wonder how long they were staying.they also didn't lie every other minute or embarass us on the world stage. and niether wrecked the economy for the countless next generations.
@MarineBob this isnt about trump.. this is about one party having no interesst in making the election safe. you could also argue that elections should be made more easy and accessible. after all everyone should be interessted in having as many people vote as possible that are eligible.
