    If this happens, it's one of those rare times where I actually see people who say stuff like "I'm moving if x party wins" actually carrying through. I mean I might consider moving to Germany or Canada if that situation happens. I never believe it when it's conservative white people saying stuff like that because they have an ethnic attachment to America and any place outside of Russia or Hungry or Poland that is mostly white is going to be liberal/leftist anyways. But many "new" citizens and immigrants night not feel it's worth painting roots here anymore.

    Wonder what constitutional right protects a politicians from not losing her ability to post things on twitter and facebook (two private business entities)? perhaps the congresswoman should spend time reading the U.S. Constitution then come back and retweet this?

    Is that for real? People expect government to swoop in like God or an all knowing Janitor.

    This twitter twit has the IQs of baby wipes. Northam is still the governor. Youngkin won’t be sworn in until the 15th.

    8 interesting facts about Rep. Lauren Boebert

    Check out these fun facts about the Colorado lawmaker:

    1. Boebert is a high school drop-out. She quit high school when she got pregnant as a teenager in 2003, and didn't get her GED certificate until 2020, a month before her election primary.
    2. She owns a restaurant called Shooter's Grill in Rifle, Colorado. She says she encourages her staff to carry guns while working because a man was "beat to death by another man's hands … outside of [her] restaurant." She's lying. According to Wikipedia, "in 2013, a man who had reportedly engaged in a fight blocks away ran to within about a block of Boebert's restaurant and collapsed and died from a methamphetamine overdose."
    3. Her restaurant gave 80 people food poisoning in a single day. The restaurant didn't secure permits to set up a food stand at a county fair and served tainted pork sliders.
    4. She disclosed the location of fellow members of Congress on January 6. Wikipedia: "While the Capitol was being stormed, Boebert posted information on Twitter about the police response and pinpointed the location of other members, including that Speaker Nancy Pelosi had left the chamber."
    5. She voted against giving the Congressional Gold Medal to police officers who protected the Capitol on January 6, 2021. Twenty other Republicans voted against the motion.
    6. She voted to overturn 2020 presidential election results. She said, "The members who stand here today and accept the results of this concentrated, coordinated, partisan effort by Democrats—where every fraudulent vote canceled out the vote of an honest American—have sided with the extremist left."
    7. Her husband, Jayson Boebert, is a sex offender. In 2004 he pleaded guilty to public indecency and lewd exposure when he showed his penis to adults and minors at a bowling alley.
    8. She and her husband share a long rap sheet for various offenses, including domestic abuse.

    Unfortunately she well represents the uneducated, law breaking, trailer trash that makes up the majority of the Republican Party.

    Don’t forget about our courageous Senator Ted Cruz who just groveled to Tucker Carlson last night for calling Jan 6 a terror attack earlier.

    If Trump gets reelected, the nation as we know it is over. This country cannot handle another 4 years of Trump. It simply can't. I'm going to dip out if it happens most likely.

    I think we can handle another 4 years of Trump. We can even handle a transition to an authoritarian form of government. But the reality will soon kick in. The segment of the poor right will celebrate not understanding that they just nailed their feet into the planks. The segment of the powerful and rich will celebrate knowing they can now maintain power, as long as they are loyal to the government. For the rest, live as usual with a slow decline as the US will be on a downward slope in freedom which will eventually impact the economy for most. Fool's gold for the masses and population that gambled their children future away for short-term political wins and what they thought were long-term culture wins that they will regret eventually realizing an authoritarian form of government respect no culture other than loyalty to the government.

    Most Americans will not change and ride with it. 10-40 years. Perhaps a period of reawaken happen sometime after. Perhaps never.
