    I quoted these comments from another thread since the Supreme Court decision not to hear the case affects the 2024 Pres race.

    ^^ Interesting ^^.

    1. Part of me thinks a SC ruling clarifying exactly who has Constitutional 4.3 power would be best.

    2. Part of me thinks letting the states handle this -- at this time -- is good.

    3. The problem is presidential elections are federal even with states running their own elections. See number one.

    It would be (much?) easier if this process had been started on say 07 Jan 2021, at least we wouldn't have a presidential election so close.

    Biden 2024 campaign, allies raise $71 million in latest quarterly haul

    Keep on, no matter who is his opponent when it actually happens.
    Hopefully not Chump...but $$$ helps, even if it isn't the ultimate factor.

    Heck, T may not even have any money by the time anything actually happens. Paying for all his lawyers and losing business.
    Biden may have a significant money lead no matter, because the GOP and supporters have paid for all of T's scandals and cons.

    Trump Campaign Reports To FEC It Collected $24.5 Million – About Half Of Its Earlier Boast

    Yet another article that could go into say What's Happening?.

    A few things to mention...

    More of the money raised is going towards NPD Trump's PAC that is allowed to pay his and other defendants legal expenses, while less money is going to his presidential campaign. The thing is NPD Trump isn't, that I've heard about, spending much on the Republican nomination campaign.

    It is costing him more to raise money.

    Hopefully the draining will continue while the faucet slows to a drip.

    Mike "Wimpy" Pence dropped out. I give him credit for not continuing, but I also wondered why he bothered in the first place. Did he get bad advice from Mother?

    Well, y'gotta to be in it to win it.
    Since he was VP, I'm sure he thought that it was standard to do so. (Rem, most VP's are unknown, until they start campaigning for prez and potentially trending)
    He got up to bat. Feel the waters.
    But he's never been charismatic.

    He needs to go back to radio. They'll at least give him cred for being VP.

    Just because it seemed to be the thing to do? I suppose it's a better reason than Just To Gain Some Name Recognition.

    And it's lose-lose if they mention NPD Trump. They give him the attention he wants, & alienate his base (which they desperately need) if they criticize him.

    It doesn't help when dimwitted DuhSantis is in distant second place.

    Ramaswamy mentioned after the show in the hall to CNN about Gavin Newsom flying around a lot and I'd read about him flying back to DC right at the same time Kamala was getting some negative flac over something.
    Sorta gave me a flash of Harris falling on her sword and Newsom stepping in.

    He somewhat reminds me of Greg Brady getting a rock star job cause he fit the suit.
    I'll give Gavin more props than that but....
    Dude, judgment. Kimberly Guilfoyle ? There must have been some clue she was insane then.

    Election offices are sent envelopes with fentanyl or other substances. Authorities are investigating

    I hope they're able to get a hold of this before the next major election...this coming year.
    It shows how many are willing to do anything to get their way and spread fear.

    Any bets on who did this??
    An individual?
    A group?

    Anywhich way, the key to keep polling places and election officials save from any threat.
    Sometimes, I wish there was one dedicated to investigating election risks.
    Maybe expand the Federal Election Commission to include a criminal office...not just regulatory and financial aspects.

    I think it's getting to that point.

    Boy that's concerning.
    I'm guessing it's a group. I think things like shooting up local power stations may be only 1 or 2 people but I think they're still part of a larger group like the Promis Keepers ot Patriot Prayer.
    I'm sure these groups can rationalize evil of working the fentanyl trade if it helps them keep underground cash flowing.

    I don't know much about it but apparently it's dangerous just having it on some paper you touch ?

    A small group, using very few people doing the actual mailing makes the most sense to me.

    Maybe a splinter group loosely affiliated with a larger group.

    Edit: I waited about 30 minutes to get the above to post. I wonder if the edit will post now...or later.
