True, but the media talking heads will be going bat crap crazy.

For like a day. And then another day when the Supreme Court makes a ruling. If it bleeds it leads, and legal briefings are incredibly boring. So without an active trial or daily drama, the takes will get fired off today and they will move on until something else happens.

From the Free Press. I don’t know where else to post this but here because it has to do with fighting Big Government regulation.

This is an amazing story about Zoomer tech wizards and their goal for AI. It is a very encouraging story if the powers that be would just get out of the way. (But you know they won’t)
I hope the accelerators win!

I can see both sides do this debate easily and I seriously question people’s intelligence that can’t. For all the good that tech has done, it has also decayed society in a lot of ways.

What ever happened to Guilty until proven Innocent?

I mean not really sure how that applies here. There was a finding by the Colorado Supreme Court. He as the right to appeal it, but while the appeal is in the process the findings from the State Supreme Court are still deemed valid. This isn't like an indictment where you he hasn't had a chance to make his arguments yet.

You seem to be blowing this off as no big deal. This ruling is total garbage - Jonathan Turley said "This is the most anti-democratic opinion I've seen in my lifetime."

Do you understand the dangerous precedent this has set? Not just for 2024, but all elections going forward if SCOTUS doesn't swat this down ASAP.


I'll add that Alan Dershowitz also said that "It's a Scandal; It's a Shame."

It's pretty funny how the Dems are so perplexed as to why Americans aren't appreciating Bidenomics. Biden, the MSM and a few on this board think the economy is just wonderful. Are they gaslighting, or are they completely out of touch with the common people?

Here are a few stats for your educational purposes:

* In April of 2019 - under Trump - 20% of Americans said they were struggling with their financial situation. Today, that number has jumped to 44%!!!

* Again, in April of 2019 - under Trump - 25% of Americans said their financial situation was improving. Today, that number has been cut in half to just 12%

* Right now 39% of Americans said they're pessimistic about their financial situation.

* Consumer debt has risen a whopping $3 trillion since Trump left office - that's a 21% increase!

Under Bidenomics, the rich are getting richer, the rest of us get the crumbs.

People are aware which is why normal people don’t want Biden or trump.

Not only are the anti-democracy Democrats waging lawfare against Trump to prevent Americans from voting for him, but they are now using similar tactics against third party candidates. Is this the kind of country that we want to live in? Jonathan Turley just said “This country is a powder keg". He's not a flamethrower by any means. I agree with him, we are in a very precarious place. Are we headed towards tyranny and/or violence? I'm sorry, but people have completely lost their minds over Trump.


"A coalition of Democratic and Republican anti-Trump (fake RINOs) groups are organizing an aggressive, multi-front campaign to stop the independent group No Labels from injecting a third major candidate in the upcoming 2024 election.

Their plans, laid out in a private, roughly 80-minute call obtained by Semafor, include legal attacks, opposition research and warnings to potential candidates and donors that involvement with No Labels could make them politically toxic.

No Labels, founded in 2010 by a top Washington political fundraiser, Nancy Jacobson, bills itself as an answer to America’s divisive partisan politics, and has sought to present a poll-tested centrist platform. Democrats believe any such effort is far likelier to pull votes from Biden than from Trump, whose supporters are more committed to their candidate.

The call, organized by the center-left Democratic group Third Way with the help of the progressive Move On, also included representatives of End Citizens United, the Lincoln Project, American Bridge, Public Citizen, and Reproductive Freedom for All. Attendees included prominent anti-Trump Republicans Sarah Longwell and Bill Kristol, former Democratic Sen. Doug Jones, and an aide to the Democratic billionaire Reid Hoffman, Dmitri Mehlhorn.

“Through every channel we have, to their donors, their friends, the press, everyone — everyone — should send the message: If you have one fingernail clipping of a skeleton in your closet, we will find it,” one speaker said during the call. “If you think you were vetted when you ran for governor, you’re insane. That was nothing. We are going to come at you with every gun we can possibly find. We did not do that with Jill Stein or Gary Johnson, we should have, and we will not make that mistake again.”

* Right now 39% of Americans said they're pessimistic about their financial situation.

Does that mean the other 61% are optimistic?
