It's nearly 48 hours AFTER the elections and Maryland (two districts), Arizona, California, Washington (state), Oregon and Alaska STILL don't have the votes counted. How is this even possible?

Also, PA Senator Bob Casey literally has no path to victory and hasn't since around lunch time yesterday, yet they still have not declared a winner. Late night ballot dumps in Michigan and Wisconsin flipped two apparent Republican senate victories onto Democrat wins.

In the House, we are stuck on 213 and for most of the day yesterday sat at 210. Dems are now up to 200 seats

People need to go to jail for this stuff.

look at this fucking asshole nazi prick

i cannot believe he wants help us eat healthier food

Some of my favorite foods are on his table!

This is what I do not like about RFK. I get it. Americans are fat. We are the fattest country in the world. Over 30% of Americans are considered obese and a high percentage of them are morbidly obese.

I am also a diabetic and have been since my early 40s. I have never been obese. I never really ate a lot of sugary foods. Now I am a very normal 160 lbs at 5'10". I walk on a treadmill every day. I control my intake of sugary foods and drinks. I like living and I intend to live as long as I can as healthy as I can. That''s me.

If you want to eat Doritos, Cheese Its, candy bars, Captn Crunch or any other sugary food, or fatty foods, I respect your choices. We live to 80 years give or take a few years, but no one lives forever. To some people drinking Coke and eating french fries is worth it even if they live a few years less than me. We don't get a second chance to come back and eat the foods we love the next time. There is no next time. For some people they just want to enjoy the one life they have without being lectured about their choices.

Do I want poisons in my food? Of course not. But let's be clear, consuming miniscule amounts of something that passes through the body without consequences is different than drinking a quart of the same substance, which is what most labs tests are like. Take second hand smoke, for example. You inhale more carcinogens walking down the street in a city just by breathing that you do sitting in a restaurant with people around you smoking cigarettes. Marijuana contains 4 times the carcinogens as tobacco.

There was a time when we were told not to eat red meat because it caused heart problems. Now it is recommended we eat a certain amount of red meat protein to stay healthy. They told us not to eat eggs because they raise your cholesterol. No, they don't. Not any more. Chocolate was bad for you, now chocolate is actually heart healthy (the dark varieties).

To me the right answer is balance, like all things in life. Americans are fat because we eat way more than we burn with physical activity. And that second part is really important. Americans are sedentary. We sit on our asses watching TV or doing what I am doing now on my computer. We have become a service economy rather than a manufacturing economy which means we sit at work using mostly our hands and eyes rather than standing or moving around all day which helps burn off the food we consume.

I have no problem with the government educating me about healthy choices. I do not want them lying to me, exaggerating the truth, or making those choices for me or my kids.

Two RINO slimeballs trying to get the Senate leadership gig, both backed by fucktard McConnell, who also wants a "secret ballot"

Rick Scott is their only opposition and the clear choice to be the leader.

Of course McConnell also called the leadership vote for 11/13, BEFORE the new senate (with numerous pro-Trump newbies arriving)

Today, John Thune the Goon went on national TV and basically THREATENED Trump, and told him to stay out of commenting or endorsing anyone for the lead Senate spot.

Wouldnt surprise me in the least if people like McConnell, Thune, Coryn and a few others were working WITH Democrats to help them steal a few more seats in the House. They also stole the Wisconsin Senate spot from Eric Hovde with another "late night ballot truck drop"
Keep reading...

If I was Trump I would send Thune an text that reads, "Jeff Flake, Liz Cheney, Adam Kinzinger" . That's it. That's the text.

Pelosi told her Democrat pals 2 days ago not worry, the Democrats will win the majority in the house. I have no doubt they are trying to steal it, and probably will. But there is one small problem for them this time. Trump will have his own DOJ this time and I am pretty sure he won't hesitate to use it.

There are starting to me real murmurs online about R's losing the House now.

About 30-40 days ago there were reports the Democrat party started pumping a bunch of Kamala's money into the House races, and the theory at the time was because the leaders at the top knew Kamala was going to lose.

If this happens, we're going to see a complete repeat of the garbage we saw from 2018 onward.

hope not!

NY Times shows they're 8 away and leading in 13 races

This dude needs all hands on deck and I can absolutely see the RINO's that remain fighting him on some of these. They'll come out of the woodwork and then be primaried. The party must be gutted.

love it but I think he should have kept this quiet until he takes office so those fuckers currently in office cant see it coming and be working to stop this before it happens

Trump also needs to retract his stance on TikTok and ban their ass if they dont 100% divest from China

I hear you and I'm not for banning in most cases unless the chemical can be proved it does harm. I love having this discussion and bringing light to important issues so we can at least start having a dialogue about the things he points out, many of which are true. I've heard it said that something like 70% of military aged people in the US cant serve in the military because of physical inability. Whether we ever have to fight another war or not, this is awful. IIRC, schools have slowly pulled away from or outright removed PE, look at what kids did in the 1960's:



I'm sure he's not right on everything but I don't think he's a conspiracy loon or vaccine denier like many claim (who I cant help but wonder if they derive their income from the sources he condemns) but I like the nature of the conversation in that they are starting a dialogue on issues that really matter which deserve our focus unlike long settled issues we shouldn't waste another second on like what is a woman, micro-aggressions, pronouns, whether a biological male should play women's sports, etc, etc.

It already feels like a group of well intentioned, America loving grown-ups have stepped into the room to clean house and force a bunch of petulant little toddlers to snap out of it and grow-up.

And it feels awesome!
