This shit is getting ridiculous. I've had enough of these Republican grievance babies. It sure seems like Republicans are the sorest losers in the country. TWO recounts have determined the outcome yet still grasping at straws.

How many voters who didn't have a SSN or DL associated with their registration voted for Griffin? And if the SSN/DL attachment was such a concern why not notify and allow people to fix that?

"If you can't beat 'em, try to get 60,000 votes tossed out."

I used a cartoon with that tag line in this infographic: NC Republicans attempt to steal a Supreme Court set to the music of “I’m A Loser” by the Beatles

With every loss or setback they just get more brazen. There is truly no limit. Which begs the question, how do you stop them without going outside the bounds of honesty, integrity, decency and fair play? I'm fearful that we don't have the answer. At least we haven't found it yet.

Hmm, this North Carolina move has a distinct tang of segregation redux—don’t like ‘em, don’t want ‘em, disestablish ‘em. How many gumballs in that jar, boy?

The first quarter of the 21st Century will see the U. S. government divest itself of any ethics concerns. Chief Justice Roberts excuses for any ethnical breeches by its senior members—pish-posh. Trump? Please! The Republican-controlled Congress? Tell us how high, Master.

That interesting suggestion that Trump needs, or would take heed of, advice from Sam Alito … really? Since when does that man ever take heed? As noted, he could have had all that read to him. Why is the word of Samuel Alito to be trusted? Or Trump, for that matter.

Bias in reporting is as bad as bias in judgement. The person elected to succeed President Biden is an amoral thug; we all know that. Unfortunately, some of us don't care, and some of us even like amoral thugs. However, it is wrong to behave like amoral thugs in the way we respond to people with whom we disagree. This is unacceptable behaviour. I will no longer accept this thread.
