I don't know if it's 211 but a good 70-80% (if not more) of current GOP members of Congress (both House and Senate) still bend the knee to Trump. This is common knowledge at this point that can be gleaned from listening to them speak. Kevin McCarthy and Steve Scalise represent the GOP leadership in the House and they are both full-on Trump apologists. Cheney was forced out of her GOP leadership position and replaced with a Trump apologist. Whatever power McConnell wields in the Senate dies with him. There is no significant resistance to Trump in the GOP. This is not a partisan opinion, this is fact.

Are there Republican voters like you who are opposed to Trump? Sure. But it doesn't matter unless like-minded Republican voters start pulling the level for non-Trumpian candidates in the primary. And, to date, that has been a rarity.

Thank you.
Yours is the type of post I will read.
When I tick on my alerts bell and I see someone reacted to my post w/ a "chuckle" or and "LOL", I don't even tap on that to see which of my posts they responded to. They can post that to impress their friends but I'm not gonna bother looking.
Have a nice night @SaulGoodmanEsq

Maybe they do it because what you posted was demonstrably false and you have proven time and again, such as in this post, that not only do you not care to educate yourself, you actually make it a point of pride to stay ignorant.

This is soooo much better than a stupid wall, thanks Biden!


“A series of agreements the two countries hammered out as their leaders spoke called for several other concrete moves, including expanding the number of work visas the U.S. issues, creating a bilateral working group on labor migration pathways and worker protections and welcoming more refugees. Both also pledged to continue joint patrols for Mexico and Guatemala to hunt human smugglers along their shared border.

But the Biden administration hailed securing border funding from Mexico after years of failed attempts by former President Donald Trump.

“Borders that are more resilient, more efficient, and safer, will enhance our shared commerce,” Biden and López Obrador said in a joint official statement. “We are committed like never before to completing a multi-year joint U.S.-Mexico border infrastructure modernization effort for projects along the 2,000-mile border.””

This, right here, is further feeding my suspicion that ballots are being manipulated in this state! This is the second time I can recall that a statewide measure was being voted on and I can't remember it being on my ballot! Mind you, I fill out a sample ballot prior to going to vote so that vote for every measure! From now on, I will be saving that product. In addition to that, my Ward/Precinct has changed during the same election cycle and I find that weird.

I'm not sure why it wouldn't be there. It was a pretty big deal at the time IIRC with a lot of signage and such in the New Orleans area. I find the current La. Sec. of State (in charge of elections) Kyle Ardoin to be a pretty straight shooter. Sadly, I'm sure he will eventually be replaced by a Trump drone.

But not accurate.

There were no agreements hammered at all. It was just AMLO babbling in front of Biden for half an hour, reading a prepared speech that most people would've read in 10 15 min tops; at one point he tried to teach U.S. history to Biden; all while Biden was visibly snickering and even made jokes at AMLO's expense, which went over his dumb head. The MX press has been brutal over the visit. I have not seen any outlet here reporting on anything about MX investing in anything related.

Trump is Lord Retaxes.

In the 1960's original sense Retaxes is Hitler.

Now watch the whole thing. It's a 1960's take on what has turned out to be a serendipitous description of modern events.

Breathtaking Irony.

Here is the WH release of the joint statement. It clearly references the amount mentioned in the ABC article.

It's not useless. It was Obama's best chance to get legislation passed. FDR passed the New Deal in his first 100 days.

And FDR was president for the next 12 years to ensure that the New Deal was implemented properly, which is why it was a success. If FDR had decided to take a nap after the first 100 days, we wouldn't even remember the New Deal. It was what happened after his first 100 days that actually mattered.

The president's main role is to administer the government, not pass legislation.

OHHHHH! Let me tell you something about my friends in Louisiana. Alot of them are Democrats, and have been since the late 80s. They just never went back and changed anything. Most would never vote in primaries down there, just the General Election and they would vote Republican all the time. Those boys and girls loved Edwin Edwards and they love Trump like you would not believe. JMO

In case you are not willing to read the entire thing ( I am OFTEN not willing to read many lengthy articles )...here is an excerpt:
"A survey from the New York Times and Siena College found that just 1% of 18 to 29 year olds strongly approve of the way Biden is handling his job. 94% of Democrats under 30 said they wanted another candidate to run two years from now"

Young Voters Are Fed Up With Their (Much) Older Leaders

Alexandra Chadwick went to the polls in 2020 with the singular goal of ousting Donald Trump. A 22-year-old first time voter, she saw Joe Biden as more of a safeguard than an inspiring political figure, someone who could stave off threats to abortion access, gun control and climate policy. Two...

I could never understand why the 20 something crowd would want to vote for Biden or Trump.
They passed up many younger options in the 2016 Republican primaries and in the 2020 primaries for the Democratic ticket.
At least they are coming around now.

The 20 something crowd isn't a reliable voting block. They need to vote more.

I hope our next president is under 60

The very article you posted, in the very first sentence, tells you why that 20 year old voted for Biden, but you skipped it so you could highlight the part where the 20 year old is disappointed about how things are going during Biden's term. Unfortunately for Alexandra, even after her vote help put Biden in the WH, the damage was already done.

Since the oil production misinfo about Biden was referenced in this thread:

If the DNC would quit rigging primaries and forcing candidates, the younger voters would not be so disillusioned.

They didn't want Hilary, they forced her on the Ballot.

They didn't want Biden, they forced him on the Ballot.

The 20-something voter block doesn't see a difference between democrats and republicans, and they shouldn't. The DNC leadership is filled with corporate shill empty suits. They run on social issues and they placate us with talk of progressivism whilst running a campaign, only to legislate in the interest of special interests and corporate lobbyists when they get elected.
