Let's not mention the media censorship of anything "Biden".Indeed.. And in some darker moments this morning I did contemplate a refresh of Trumps spectacular success (no other word for it) in creating a Republician Party where the overwhelming majority on candidates in the 2022 Mid terms supported his Big Lie on the rigged and stolen Presidential election. Goebbels must be green with envy at that success.
And just to refresh everyone on what we have missed why not recap the latest note of Trump unhinged at the height of his spitting power.
Trump’s Official Response to Jan. 6 Subpoena Is as Unhinged as His Truth Social Posts
The former president isn't taking kindly to the panel's vote to ask him to testify and provide documents related to his role in the riot at the Capitolnews.yahoo.com
Scary times.Well we can't say we havn't been told. The Republican nominee for Governor refuses to say she will accept the mid term results - unless she wins. If she wins that's fine. If not look out. Much like "Heads I win, Tails you lose" .
Just shows how effectively Donald Trump has corrupted the Republican Party.

The Republican gubernatorial nominee in Arizona, Kari Lake, refused to say whether she would accept the results of the election if she loses in November.
Lake, a former Phoenix-area news anchor, has made denying the 2020 election results that her preferred candidate, Donald Trump, lost a pillar of her campaign. She has said she wouldn’t have certified the 2020 vote that the former president lost – and which the Democratic victor, Joe Biden, won in Arizona by just over 10,000 votes – saying the election was “corrupt, rotten”.

Appearing on CNN’s State of the Union on Sunday, Lake was asked three times by host Dana Bash whether she would accept the results of next month’s election. She avoided the question twice, before saying she would accept it if she won.
“I’m going to win the election, and I will accept that result,” she said. She declined to answer when Bash followed up to ask if she would accept the result if she lost.
“I’m going to win the election, and I will accept that result,” she repeated.
Denying the results of the last presidential election has become orthodoxy in Republican politics. On the ballot this fall, 291 Republican nominees – a majority of those running – have denied or questioned the election results, according to a Washington Post analysis.
Arizona is one of several states across the country where Republicans who deny the results of the 2020 election are on the cusp of winning offices in which they would have oversight over how elections are run and play a role in certification. Lake is in a tight race against her Democratic opponent, Katie Hobbs. Lake has hammered Hobbs recently over her decision not to debate her, and there are grumblings among Arizona Democrats about Hobbs’s campaign.
In addition to Lake, Mark Finchem, a state lawmaker who played a key role in Trump’s failed efforts to overturn his ouster from the Oval Office, is also in a close race. He’s vying to be Arizona’s secretary of state. Finchem, who introduced a resolution to decertify the 2020 election earlier this year, led Democratic candidate Adrian Fontes 49%-45% in a recent CNN poll, which was within the poll’s margin of error. iVote, a group that works to elect Democratic secretaries of state, recently announced it would spend $5m on the race.
Appearing in Arizona recently, Liz Cheney, the Republican vice-chair of the January 6 committee, warned voters against backing Lake and Finchem. “They both said that they will only honor the results of an election if they agree with it,” she said.
“We cannot give people power who have told us that they will not honor elections. Elections are the foundation of our republic and peaceful transfers of power are the foundation of our republic.”

Where is his balaclava? Just another beat up by the delusional.But the 2020 Election was the most secure in history......
I'm pretty split on the whole Trump question. On the one hand I hope he runs in and wins in 2024 for the sheer entertainment value.The just vompleted mid term elections were a complete disaster for Trump.
His high profile support of Gen Dolduc, Mehmet OZ and hershel Walker both lost.
His rivals, Desantis , Abbot and Brian Kemp and Rubio all had good wins, and it is to be hoped that one of them gets the republican nod as the preferred candidate.
The only way i can see Trump running in 2024 , assuming he escapes the myriad of court cases he faces, is if he runs as purely independant candidate. that will decimate the republican vote and ensure whoever hets the democrat nomination will win hands down.
Stacey Adams is the US equivalent of Kristine Keneally.
It seems everything she enters she loses.

its because the elected reps are only window dressing to vote the policy that is decided by the power brokers in the US.I'm pretty split on the whole Trump question. On the one hand I hope he runs in and wins in 2024 for the sheer entertainment value.
On the other hand I think Desantis would make the best president... Probably the best president for the last few generations.
The democrats do seem to like the cognitively diminished. Biden with his dementia, Fetterman in Pennsylvania the stroke victim, and Hobbs in Arizona who seems to struggle to piece together anything that makes any sense whatsoever.
True, dat.its because the elected reps are only window dressing to vote the policy that is decided by the power brokers in the US.
And its no great difference between dems and gops in that respect.

Nah . Actually they would probably accept a 6 day old tuna sandwich that had been left in the sun in preference to the lying Trump sycophants who parroted the big election lies of their puppet master.The democrats do seem to like the cognitively diminished. Biden with his dementia, Fetterman in Pennsylvania the stroke victim, and Hobbs in Arizona who seems to struggle to piece together anything that makes any sense whatsoever.
Meanwhile, democrats not only vote in stroke victims and float him out as a possible presidential candidate, they also vote in dead people.Nah . Actually they would probably accept a 6 day old tuna sandwich that had been left in the sun in preference to the lying Trump sycophants who parroted the big election lies of their puppet master.
Realistically the Republician candidates who faired best were the (relatively) moderate coherant ones who wern't hand picked by Trump to follow his line. That's voters choice for you.
