Fair, honest elections free from fraud do not seem to have high priority on either side of the fence. And even if we had that, we’d still be at the mercy of a confused and uneducated electorate. And, of course, when your train is on the wrong tracks, it will still crash no matter which engineer you vote for.

Yes, a confused and uneducated electorate; public education at work creating citizens whom cannot think critically, and as a whole, have reading a comprehension level at the six grade. Have you ever read a voter pamphlet? They are designed to be duplicitous and confusing, attempting to guide the reader to the state's desire position.

The revolution of rising expectations!!!!

Our $40 trillion debt artificially raised the voters standard of living. Along with the Federal Reserve manufacturing artificially low interest rates for 15 years. That raised voters expectations of that standard of living always increasing. It is those false expectations that is what is causing Europe to burn. And maybe here someday.

With our younger generation spending money on tattoos and other vices but still demand that their expectations be met.

Not going to happen !!!

Big Whoop! Congress is going to investigate Elon Musk? Oh, no! Another dog and pony show! Still, there is nothing to fear, unless you think, somehow, Musk's investigation will actually be serious. And what if it is? It would show that the Democrats actually do own and control the system, just as we have suspected. Best always. PM

More of the same and expecting a different result is the definition of insanity. Does it matter which party is overspending our money to the tune of $2 trillion over each year? Nope... It's all a shame... my Senator in Georgia is up for reelection and doesn't have a clue how to stop spending more than revenues. His political commercials are all about what giveaways will continue and what plans he has for more giveaways. Makes me sick. Ossoff will probably win as his voters dont care when it's somebody else's money. His opponent doesn't talk or mention about the $2 trillion over spending debt either. I guess the Senate technically doesn't spent the money, the house does so they get a pass I guess or do they? I'm tired of it all.

Historic times a-coming: a genuine disruptive two-fer.

To wit, the making of an explosive chemistry by the Democratic Party's control of Congress by politicians whose disposition is to provide more welfare and a megalomaniac President who will concoct some reason to undermine the election results.

In the meantime, our exceptionally expensive use of force to smite Iran on behalf of Israel has triggered all manner of unanticipated threats.

Two were the abrupt removal of a dozen B - 1 bombers from the UK so fast that there was no time to fashion an air refueling plan and now the equally abrupt removal of many government personnel and the families from throughout the region, both retreats by another name.

No matter which side wins control, the debt slope will continue to grow. The political executions will continue with the support of the media. History continues to repeat. We all better have some real assets.

Mailing millions of unchecked ballots, allowing a month to return them and a week to count.

No I.D. required.

Politicians Gerrymandering districts.

Organizers allowed to openly lie about their campaign's objectives.

Intentionally labeling legislation with deceptive titles.

No... there's no behind the scenes cheating going on...

It's out in the open.

If voting is so important.

Why is all the focus on "voter convenience"?

If a bill is due, a court date, a meeting, they all have time restraints.

They all require you identify yourself properly.

-

Inexplicably, important as voting is... it is offered as something to do in your spare time.

-

The problem is obvious.

The solution is too...

But obviously some folks don't want to fix it.

It's always a decision of what we think is the lesser of two evils. We know both are "flawed candidates" but these are the choices we face. It is rigged that way to protect the survival of both parties, not protect the country! Someday the movie showing in France will be coming here. We have to be prepared for that day in each of our lives. Survival is a mindset and taking real action.

What's happening in France is a commercial for what's coming!

If the liberals open the border.

-

We ask ourselves who wants what is happening in Frnace?

Yet liberals seem hell bent on it!

Why fix it when it is working just fine, as it was designed.

Angry Icebergs's avatar

It works fine for opportunists, cheats and folks that shouldn't be in office...

Initially it was known not everyone was qualified to vote.

Somewhere that notion was lost...
