Harris laughs at, shuts down questions as she says Afghanistan is her highest priority

Lolwut?

An Egregious Group Insult?

Disparaging the Character of ALL Democrats?
And, Calling ALL Democrats "Liars"?

Wow...:smh:

Harris must really be under your skin? Huh?

To resort to an Egregious Group Insult (Disparaging the Character of ALL Democrats) to make a point?:smh:

Anyway, back on-topic, Harris (Clearly) WASN'T "Laughing" at the Seriousness of the Situation in Afghanistan.
And, the "characterization" (of her actions) in the OP--Is Clearly False.

Carry on, and please consider toning down the Group Insults.
Thx in advance.

 

Her own Dad doesn't seem to think much of her, but then he knows her better.

 

Look, I'm perfectly aware of the State-driven elections and the Electoral College. Do you take me for some misinformed simpleton??? I'm just saying, maybe it's no longer the best system. It was when the Founding Fathers founded us... but the world has changed.

Yes, I'd prefer to have the parties pick candidates than the primaries and I'm fully aware that primaries are not enshrined in the Constitution and are a privilege rather than a right. I don't like the idea of the parties simply picking a candidate but it would be better than the disastrous primaries we have today. Most countries in the world, parties pick candidates and the voters only have a say when they vote on the day of the presidential elections.

Things couldn't be possibly worse, but what to you propose, a coup d'etat? For better or worse (it looks like it is for worse) Biden is our president and Harris is the VP. Short of Biden spontaneously resigning (fat chance) the only other remedy would be impeachment but we know it would fail in the Senate. The 25th? More complicated and more temporary than most people realize... and also, it would need his cabinet, and I doubt his cabinet would do it.

So, you seem to preach the respect for the way the Founders designed things... but they didn't design any coup d'etat, so we're stuck with Biden and if he resigns or croaks or becomes so demented that he can't function then we'll be stuck with Harris, whom I believe to be even worse.

What do we do for the next 3 years? Good question. We endure and we regret our choices... which do have consequences. We try to do better next time.

This is precisely why I'm saying a parliamentary system is better. In any country with a Parliament and a Prime Minister as the chief executive, the blunders committed by Biden would have him out in no time, and a replacement would be there in no time. In a parliamentary system the chief executive needs to continue to perform well at all times or else he risks being booted out the door in a very simple process.

 

Republicans will get rolled on a mass wave of Afgan migrants just like they're going to get rolled on a $4 trillion dollar 'infrastructure' budget.

 

And that's good? How about being rolled on our national security?

 

No its not good at all. I'm not gloating, I'm pointing out what being COVID deniers brought about.

 

There is nothing changed about why the Electoral College and the manner in which the President is chosen. Well you seem to believe it's a national event of the people. They changes you propose would require a whole new Constitution and then we may as well get rid of the House and the Senate and just have one body heck we may as well get rid of states. I don't think that is going to happen and I have every doubt you could ever get enough States to agree to abolishing the Electoral College and have just one big national popular vote, which BTW does not exist in this country.

Yes the parties are simple private entities. Their right to exist is protected by the Constitution from government interference and control. I think we agree the better system would be the parties select their candidates internally so they get the candidate who not only best reflects the policies of the party as a whole and has the best chance to win. As it was when I was growing up watching with my dear mother the national conventions and the floor fights and negotiations, I thought it was great. And we had great President come out of those conventions and but a few where they did not hold up to the expectations.

That being said we still would have ended up with Harris on the ticket and she repeatedly shows she cannot take this serious and is way over her head.

Between now and the mid-terms a 25th or impeachment are the only official offerings. But then as with Nixon when the Republican leadership went to him and told him he no longer had their support, the leadership of the Democrats in Congress and the DNC could urge him to step down. Slim chance of that too as they will put the politics above our national security.

If the Republicans take back the Congress then they can impeach and send it to the Senate and I would urge both the President and VP then send to the Senate and let's see which Senate Democrats would put the country before party.

No doubt, the question is how bad will it get.

No we just need to elect better Presidents and more statesmen to the Congress. I've seen the countries that get new governments routinely, I prefer our smooth system of transfer both the House, Senate and Executive. If we had a Parliament we'd still have the Democrats to protect PM Biden. Yes I still support the founding fathers brilliant plan to protect the President from retribution over political matters by the Congress and instead and co-equal. Granted the Democrats turned the one power over the Executive, impeachment and removal, into a political hammer for the future.

 

Not the current crop of Republicans, no. They’ll be soul searching, doubting themselves, working across the isle and squandering their victories. Sadly, I’ve seen it all before.
