It’s too soon for polling to reflect anything, re-check in 1-2 weeks.
As of right now:
Michigan - Trump +4

North Carolina - Trump +3 to +8

So, really, bad news for Biden across the board except for New Mexico which is just freshly getting polling data.
Oh, I never meant to bring Trump into it, just that Obama continued Bush’s drone program and in a perfect world it would have all been illegal… but not if the President does it. ;)
That’s the thing though, with the Republicans in charge there will NEVER be a vote on this. They won’t allow it.
She’s just grandstanding.
Impeachment starts in the House of Representatives, which is controlled by Republicans.
It goes to the Senate for conviction and removal, which, thanks to the Republican minority, requires a 60 vote majority to move anything forward.
This is why I’ve been saying since the Trump impeachments, we have to control the House and the Senate first, then we can talk impeachment.
House - 219 Republicans, 213 Democrats, 3 vacancies.

*Rep. Ken Buck (R-CO) resigned effective 3/22/2024.
*Rep. Donald Payne Jr. (D-NJ) died 4/24/2024.
*Rep. Mike Gallagher (R-WI) resigned effective 4/25/2024.
Senate - 49 Republicans, 47 Democrats, 4 Independents that caucus with Democrats.

Joe Manchin III (WV)
Kyrsten Sinema (AZ)
Angus S. King, Jr. (ME)
Bernard Sanders (VT)
It protects any official action.
So, for example, the notorious drone strikes that Obama ordered which killed a bunch of innocent people.
As commander in chief, that’s an official act, he would have immunity.
Bush and Abu Ghraib torture? Same.
Sounds like an excuse to remove all the rest of the content they haven’t already removed.
No thanks.
Bungie - Bring back everything you removed, if you want a new solar system, fire up Destiny 3.
Other folks are just as active, I’m just more public about it for transparency reasons.
Well that’s true! :)
That’s the thing, for the executive branch, passing laws is not an official act. It’s outside that branch of government. That’s what the Legislative branch does.
It would be like Biden overturning a court ruling. That’s the Judicial branch, not your dance.
Pallas Cat kittens!
Fascism actually has a precise definition:
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/fascism
“a political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition”
So breaking it down:
“that exalts nation and often race above the individual” - Trump, not Biden.
“centralized autocratic government” - Trump, not Biden (or any Democrat, really, “centralized” isn’t their thing).
“dictatorial leader” - Literally Trump. https://apnews.com/article/trump-hannity-dictator-authoritarian-presidential-election-f27e7e9d7c13fabbe3ae7dd7f1235c72
“severe economic and social regimentation” - I could see this one being argued “both sides”. The difference being Democrats want to use the regimentation to protect people and Republicans want to use it to oppress people.
“forcible suppression of opposition” - Definitely Trump, not Biden.
Removed, ad hominem.
I can’t say who anyone else should vote for, I’ll be voting for whoever the Democrat is, knowing that if it’s Biden, he’ll lose, if it’s Harris, she’ll lose, and if it’s anyone else, they’ll lose too.
But there’s no enforcement.
Biden can’t pass laws, Congress does that.
Bernie also has a heart condition and I say this with all love for Bernie, but also as someone who has had two heart attacks… you don’t want someone with weakened health in that job.
Physically, there are days when I struggle with “walk down a hallway”. Forget doing a job.
No, nobody cares about green jobs.
