Poached this gem:

“She probably thinks Roe vs Wade is deciding upon how to cross a river.”

President Truman was put in that position by God, just like Trump was. Why? To support Israel becoming a nation, which Mr. Truman did. But, has any dim ever done anything real good for the economy? He did what his primary reason for being president was, endorse Israel as a nation. Job done, Israel was a state again. If it had been any other Dim, they would have follow Marshal’s advice to not support Israel as a state again. Marshal had threatened Truman with voting for his opponent in the election if he did support Israel. Truman did not blink. Marshal backed down and did not put up any further fight. That is why I was saying Harry did a good job. Plus, he did drop the big one on the Japanese, twice. Took stones.

>> I don’t understand why this is difficult. she will get dropped in the primary by the guy she snuck up on in the last primary. then that guy will win the general. it’s pretty straightforward.

Again, we are talking about DemonRat primary voters. The reason the "mainstream" leftist lost is he wasn't bat$hit crazy enough for his voters. If he tried to get back his seat, she'd just hammer him for being "not progressive enough". It's like expecting Maxine Waters' voters will replace her with a non-crazy RAT.

Being a criminal and/or deranged is a resume enhancer in a Dem primary. It will also improve their standing with their voters if they turn out to be gay.

Dewey SHALL NOT be President! So sayeth the LORD! I don't trust that little pencil mustached man to support Israel. Promises, promises. And by the way, I'm no fan of Storm Thurmond either. I'm just wild about Harry! Now fetch me my Truman '48 button!"

this is a no-brainer. he’ll bury her with money. she got 15,000 votes in a non-existent primary turnout in a district with 220,000 registered dems. he’ll get the seat back the way they always do; they’ll buy it.

I advise her to not buy a house in DC. she’s toast.

hide. watch. see.

Sorry, Truman was an awful President who could not even muster a Primary fight when challenged by his own party in 1952 (He was that awful). The British mandate expiring happened in his last transitional year left over from FDR's death in 1948. FDR and Truman's domestic policies are still felt negatively today.

Consensus was to drop the bombs, this was total war after all. Truman did have clarity concerning not executing the Japanese Emperor though, that help stabilization efforts.

Now you can plainly see why a war between the left and right in this country will be a one-sided rout!

So what is the correct term for the collection of all three elected bodies (Gov/Senate/House at the state level, Prez/House/Senate in DC)?

Finally! After 206 replies, someone gets it and stops dancing on the civics lesson head of the pin. Let's call them the three elected elements of the federal government.

That doesn't mean Ocasio-Cortez is right about there being three chambers. We should point out that she's wrong and ridicule her as an incoming Representative. But what we shouldn't do, which I'm seeing over and over again, is leaving it at that as if pointing out her mistake is enough because while we're just ridiculing her, she's telling us that the RATS have targeted taking over the three elected elements of the federal government and they're 1/3 of the way to accomplishing their goal.

So not chambers, but elements. If you don't like elements, come up with something else. Whatever it is, recognize that the one elected element in RAT hands, the House, will be dedicated to getting the other two elected elements in their hands as well come November 3, 2020.

Either Circle J or Cluster F, I believe either one will work.

I don’t understand the notion some freepers have of Joe Crowley “saving us” from this b-word.

People insisted he would keep running as the Working Families nominee, even though he ruled that out at once and endorsed her, never considered it even though the rationale (pathetic turnout in the primary) was there, a White man “robbing” a Brown woman was not kosher in the democrat party. BTW I’m convinced that despite all the hype she got AFTER she won that she ONLY won the low turnout primary cause of her Hispanic surname, most of the people voting for her never heard of her and probably didn’t know much about Crowley either.

Despite this people insisted he might just win anyway without even campaigning because of some “silent majority” of “decent working people”, one guy insisted to me that it was a fait accompli (crickets afer the election) he didn’t even get more votes than the Republican nominee, whoops!

And now he’s gonna run again in 2 years and beat her? The hell he is I say. She’s a brown woman in an increasingly brown district, she’s untouchable. You can’t apply logic to the racial quagmire of NYC politics and the increasing entitlement of feminist democrats, no Caucasian will hold that seat ever again and Crowley isn’t even gonna run let alone win.

And Crowley, you know what, he might have been Speaker or Majority Leader if he survived, screw that guy. They are both monsters.

Article on the district

https://www.city-journal.org/html/joseph-crowleys-defeat-15995.html

” The current district is 46 percent Hispanic, 11 percent black, 16 percent Asian, and 25 percent white, and many of the whites are affluent hipster transplants to gentrifying sections of Astoria, Sunnyside, and Jackson Heights.

This newly drawn district proved perfect for Ocasio-Cortez, who beat Crowley not just among Latinos but also in many white areas, where “woke” Bernie Bros voted but the Democratic Party organization couldn’t turn out the vestiges of its old ethnic base. Crowley carried only the relatively small black vote.”

The irony is that Crowley's voting record is probably 95% identical to how Osacio-Cortez will vote, the only difference is he was a more "mainstream" Democrat because he knew NOT to say unhinged stuff in public.

And yeah, looking at the demographics and voting history of that district, I maintain she will EASILY won both the primary and the general in 2020, no matter what she does or how ridiculous she appears nationally.

I think it’s premature, at the very least, to think that a neophyte that managed to get 14,000 primary votes in a district with 220,000 registered democrats is a “sure thing” before she is even “inaugurated”.
