Something no family should have to endure...thoughts to families involved...

If an election denier wins an election is it truly a legitimate victory?

I want him reduced to working as an assistant manager at a Hardees in some backwater town....

Just one more note on the whole Meijer/Gibbs/Democrat thing. Meijer was censured by his own party for voting for impeachment. The party chairman jokingly(?) called for his assignation. How many mainline "Republicans" came to his district to campaign for him. The ads he Democrats ran told it like it is about his opponent, that he was backed by Trump, lied about the 2020 election, etc. How exactly did the ads hurt Meijer?

A bit more context...

You get the lawyer you pay for....

Another argument for ranked choice voting. Knock off the lowest vote getter in every round until you reach a 50+% majority.

Per Tim Miller in today's Bullwerk. Pro Impeachment Republicans Jaime Herrera Beutler and Dan Newhouse survived Washington state's Jungle Primary.California's David Valadao also advanced in a similar system. They are probably the only Pro Impeachment Republicans to survive.

Whatever floats your boat. It's a free country, for now. The founders were not fond of party labels, until TJ and A-Ham screwed things up.

This is another argument in favor of ranked choice voting. No party labels, especially in a state where voters don't have to officially register their party preference. (Even though past voting habits does get you on call and mailing lists) Rank you voting preference first to worst. Top two vote getters face off in the general. It levels the playing field somewhat. Every voting system can be gamed to a certain extent.

Stevens is strong in the west side of the district...F Hills, Plymouth, Canton, etc...

Ouch For impermissible contact with Tom Brady and Sean Peyton...

Which should hold true until 1.2023.... Wasn't this a GOP idea until it wasn't? https://www.politico.com/news/2020/08/19/republicans-mail-in-voting-trump-398774

Maybe the others were just playing possum...

It's two lanes thru here now, with talk about widening it in the not too distant future. The biggest problem, I think, is the combination of truck traffic, regular commuters, and throw in tourists. So you've got a lot of folks really not familiar with the area trying to figure out where to go combined with long haul regulars, military, and the regular retirees who live here.

You've flown thru Dallas too? Or if you're at DTW you land at A72 and your connecting gate is C1

There is a minimum/medium security prison in Miami that hosted Manuel Noriega for a while. In reality he's never going to go and the best we might hope for is something similar to house arrest. Even if he is tried and convicted the appeals process would take years. Is there a secluded place on Mar-A-Lago where then can convert a storage shed or something. And ban him from the main building and golf course?

I get all that. My biggest complaint is when there is no congestion, and the folks coming on to the expressway insist on doing 45 until the merge lane ends. They have enough time to enter the highway if they would just accelerate to the proper speed. Otherwise the car in the right lane is usually forced to slow to let them in at the end of the lane. Especially when the left lane is occupied. Hopefully that makes sense

Brandon is having a good run

I've never seen so many happy people at a cemetery
