“Do you believe that Trump violated the peaceful transfer of power"?

What if all American citizens ensured this question was asked of every Republican politician at every public campaign event?

I don't care if it's mayor, school board, sheriff, or dog catcher. Ask them ALL.
It's our public duty to ASK THEM ALL.

Do we want ANYONE serving in a position of public TRUST that cannot answer this question?

Found out late today that a coworker tested positive for COVID. He was at work Monday until today.

My test is negative and I don't think I'm getting sick.

But here we go again.

...

My work place has less than 10 people. Back in 2020 we had an employee die from COVID. Otherwise healthy, he didn't show up to work on a Monday, and within 3 weeks he was dead.

In late 2021the entire staff of 8 got COVID and the business had to close for 10 days.

I work for a private company. Been there 30+ yrs now. Company has about 70 full time employees, and about $40M annual sales.

My average sales figure average is $2.5M over those 30+ yrs. It's not just paper pushing, it's physically moving inventory, packaging, handling complex international transactions. I'm considered a key employee.

My 30 year "bonus"? $100. That's it. I'm told my pay is "maxed out" my "raises" don't keep up with inflation.

Always helpful to note that we’ve had 46 U.S. Presidents, and they’ve been indicted on a total of 91 felony charges. Here’s how it breaks down:

1-44: 0
45: 91
46: 0

Let's not forget that Nixon, Reagan, and Shrub should have been brought up on charges.

The NY Times can’t stop telling us how much Trump’s indictments are helping him—but they are very wrong! My new article on how NY Times and other media outlets peddling this BS are helping Trump create the narrative he wants. https://deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/the-ny-times-cant-stop-telling-us

Ohio Republicans tried every dirty trick in the book - changing polling places in areas they knew would oppose them, scheduling the vote to turn out their rigorous crazed base.

They lost.

Big time losers.

Crush them in every race.

LEAVE NO REPUBLICAN SEAT UNCONTESTED. Make them defend every seat.

Instrument probably malfunctioning. No unprotected human can survive in those conditions for very long.

Then again, if there's no humans alive to check the calibration of the instrumentation - well, there we are.

As many others chimed in, the signs were there with folks like Curtis LeMay, Goldwater, Kissinger, the Bobsey twins Dick and Don, Daddy G, and the entire Nixon gang. It got worse with Reagan and now criminal behaviour is a pre requisite to be a Republican.
