It’s not a good sign that Trump chose to put Pilip down. He’s going have to rely on support from politicians who don’t want to get too close to him and has to learn not to take things personally.

At least they had the cohones to impeach Mayorkas; and just barely bc a couple of dumbpublicans voted with the demonkrats (what else is new?)
True, this will not amount to anything, but at least they brought attention to his illegal activities (e.g. violating US immigration laws).

As for Menendez; he dems would not be going after him unless they knew his replacement would be a dem.

The dems can always rely on the stupidity of the dumbpublicans; it’s as certain as death and taxes

Now their hypocrisy has cost them/ us dearly while the Dems once again have the upper hand. For the life of me I will never be able to figure out what’s wrong with these people.

Mazi was not a good candidate. She wasn’t MAGA nor did she support President Trump.
Finally the snowstorm was the final blow to her campaign. The morons forgot that February is peak winter in NY and never worked to get out the early voters or absentees.

If this is how the GOP plans to run in November, god help us.

But since Suozzi held that same seat prior to Santos, most people must have known he was a Democrat. He wasn’t an unknown entity.

Or one would assume they should know.

First, a New Yorker relates Suozzi’s media campaign, introduced by saying it was a saturation campaign. Second, he deliberately did not mention his party ID as a Democrat throughout it. And finally, that his campaign hammered stanching the border immigration — something Democrats will never do! But a strategically wise campaign tactic.

So, lies, deception, and propaganda — all of the D-Rat specialties.

Lastly, I read a post on the Republican candidate Maxi Pilip, who in FNC interviews seems the ideal candidate for this seat: immigrant from Ethiopia (black), Jew, but a registered Democrat, previously.

The last part had escaped me — but together with Santos peculiar and twisted persona — thus, helps to explain why these odd ducks are especially fit for this swing district in Big Democrat NY. And therefore it was a tricky district for any R to win.

Choose pragmatism often enough and principles become distant memories.

But never compromising on principle eliminates the flexibility needed to use pragmatism to advance the desired principle.

As example, I’ll use how the Democrats do it, since they’re much better at it than GOPe Republicans.

Principle: Like in the UK, guns should only be in the hands of government controlled forces.

Obstacle to implementing that principle; 2nd amendment.

Pragmatic solutions; deceitfully mischaracterize the source of crime and the use of guns, enabling
incremental disarmament through increasingly restrictive regulations and laws.

Latest step; State of Illinois’ firearms registration…

I’m with not_a_lawyer. A rat is a rat and Santos, as currently constituted, does not belong in our great nation’s legislature. I also agree Schiff, Omar and many others have violated the rules of the House and Senate and do not deserve their seats.

It may be that a majority of Americans just want to loot the Treasury for whatever spoils their Legislator can funnel to their state or district or pet industry or cause, and if that is where we are, the sooner we learn the truth the better.
