Comments on: In no surprise, HR1 passes in the House…

HR1 is a true embarrassment, but no surprise based on our citizenry’s overall ignorance of their rights, checks and balances, the three branches of government, republicanism vs. democracy.

“Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”

Well, morality and religiosity are waning, but I think Adams should have also included “non ignorant” in his list.

I am Spartacus:

I actually think Romney is probably telling the truth on this. When I fell, I hit mostly in the forehead area and nose, but that part of the forehead was certainly close to the temple. I got two black eyes (a worse one on the side where I hit) within a day, and they lasted for weeks.

Neo – the black eye lasts a long time. I got hit in the forehead during a pick up football game and got a goose egg size bruise above my right eye that leaked down to my eye socket like Romney’s. It looked pretty bad for a month. Romney’s “injury” happened over the weekend and the bruise area in his upper head area is not the forehead but the temple area. Blood seepage doesn’t happen that fast. It is unlike your injury which was frontal.

So I remain suspicious but I am open to persuasion.

I am Spartacus: I have no trouble believing it. I fell many years ago and pretty severe black eyes were the most noticeable of my facial wounds, although I also had a very scraped (and broken) nose that would have been hidden by a COVID mask - except we didn't wear COVID masks back then.

This was going to pass the House. The Senate will pass it and it will be mired in legal challenges. The Red States can chose not to enforce it. The people are woke up and aware. The fraud the deep state are trying to put in place will be exposed. They know that the time frame is very limited so hence the rush. They will fail because now that law puts state legislatures at risk.

Politics are not static. Ask Gavin Newsom and Mario Coumo. Heck ask Donald Trump.

Then there is re-apportionment. You will see the real fight between the totalitarians vs. the Tech Overlords then when more seats leave blue states to red states. Republicans will have to figure out how to divvy up the gains.

I am optimistic. Determined, ready for battle and ready to act with cold anger.

Ps. Anyone believe Romney’s story about falling down after looking at his face? The forehead would be more bruised than the eye socket for about a week.

@GB:

Re your comment, I maintain that the Good Burghers of this Site are missing out on much Gab Mirth:

Sure they’re missing out on a whole lot of other reprehensible, deplorable, and some even just plain wrong stuff…. but that’s the nature of Free Speech.

@JimNorCal:

I’d be very cautious about giving any political campaign my name, email, ZIP in the current climate.

Do you trust them (a) to be legit and not a phishing expedition and (b) sufficiently tech-savvy to not be hacked and have their database stolen?

There is no entity of any sort for which (b) is guaranteed, but it’s fair to say that it gets worse on the Right as the Devil has most of the best hackers.

I was given this link. They ask for your name, email and ZIP.
I don’t know anything about them really but they say they are trying to ease people into action via “armchair activism”, for example asking people in Sinema and Manchin’s states to send them emails about HR1.

Something to consider if you want to help but don’t know how.

No, they were pretty lame, actually, verging on the non sequitur…; but at least he has his constituents in mind (or claims to), which seems to becoming rarer and rarer these days on the “Left” side of the aisle.

(On the other hand why keep your constituents in mind when you can be a star in the “Transform America” Circus?)

On the third hand he may be trying desperately to protect himself by hiding behind the old “I care for my constituents” excuse—so that he won’t be tarred and feathered by his oh-so-“tolerant-of-diversity” buddies…
