Pelosi is optimistic about winning the House in Nov.

[bripat9643]

Well, bullshit.

Seems to me the obvious thing to say is something like, "It's going to be tough, but we can win if we get out the vote. The other party thinks they're fighting Satan and will walk over broken glass to show up. It's up to us to get people to the polls".

Of course, she couldn't possibly tell the truth.

It's about time for heads to roll. Literally.

Dems better tread lightly, the vast majority are getting fed up with their silliness…

Pelosi said today.
'I have no intention of the Democrats not winning the House this November,' the California Democrat told reporters on Thursday morning. 'People really want us to win,' she added.

She's right. Republicans are making themselves very unpopular.

Ultimately this is what Republicans want as they silently cheer on the prospect of the Supreme Court overturning Roe vs, Wade. They want complete government control of pregnancies in the U.S. What the woman wants in terms of her physical, mental, circumstantial health is immaterial.

Strangely enough, Republicans say nothing about achieving their decades long goal.

Oklahoma Republicans provide an example for what Republicans want for the country as a whole.

CNN reports, "Oklahoma’s legislature on Thursday passed a bill that would ban abortions from the stage of “fertilization” and allow private citizens to sue abortion providers who “knowingly” perform or induce an abortion “on a pregnant woman.”

"The legislation is among the nation’s strictest bills on abortion and is a clear rebuke of the protections granted in the landmark 1973 case Roe v. Wade. The bill prohibits abortions at any stage of pregnancy, with exceptions for medical emergencies or if the pregnancy was a result of rape, sexual assault or incest and reported to law enforcement.

"Oklahoma’s House of Representatives approved the measure by a vote of 73-16, and it now heads to the desk of Republican Gov. Kevin Stitt, who has previously pledged to sign every piece of legislation limiting abortion that reaches his desk. CNN has reached out to the governor’s office for comment.

"The bill’s passage comes as Republican-led states have been pushing strict abortion measures in anticipation of the US Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade next month in a case concerning a Mississippi abortion law. Though many states have on their books so-called trigger laws, which ban abortions in the event that the high court reverses Roe, the Oklahoma bill would take effect upon approval by the governor.

Little wonder as to why Republicans want to keep this under wraps. Try to find a Republican lawmaker willing to talk about the consequences of voiding Roe. Or even a forum Republican who has read this.

You see my point.

In terms of Republican popularity, or lack thereof, then there is this.

Following the massacre in Buffalo over the weekend by a teenager we are hearing the same load of crap from politicians that we heard following Columbine, Sandy Hook, San Bernardino, Orlando, Las Vegas, Sutherland Springs, Parkland, El Paso, N.Y. City subway, and countless others.

And nothing got done. Nothing will get done following the Buffalo massacre. Why?

Here a few reasons and they all can be attributed to a political party. Guess which one? It is the party that is expected win big in the November mid-terms.

The National Rifle Association (NRA) is a 501(c)(4) nonprofit organization it says of itself, It is widely recognized today as a major political force and as America's foremost defender of Second Amendment rights.In 2013. The Washington Post called the NRA "arguably the most powerful lobbying organization in the nation’s capital." National Rifle Association

We know that the NRA contributes heavily to the Republican Party, and the GOP has for decades stymied gun control measures in Congress. We know Republicans are waiting for the clamor over the Buffalo massacre to blow over, but that is extremely unlikely.

There will be another mass shooting before the month is over. Indeed, there were at least four other mass shootings since Friday coinciding with the Buffalo massacre.

Then there is this.

The Guardian reports, "The massacre by a white supremacist gunman of Black shoppers at a Buffalo grocery store has drawn renewed scrutiny of Republican figures in the US who have embraced the racist “great replacement theory” he is alleged to have used as justification for the murders.

"Born from far-right nationalism, the extremist ideology expounding the view that immigration will ultimately destroy white values and western civilization has found favor not only with media figures, such as the conservative Fox News host Tucker Carlson, but a host of elected politicians and others seeking office.

"They have convinced themselves Democrats are operating an open-door immigration policy to “replace” Republican voters with people of color and keep themselves in power permanently.

"A study of the history of great replacement theory in Republican circles states the theory isn’t new to American politicians. In 2017, the Iowa congressman Steve King, a fierce Trump loyalist, said in a tweet: “We can’t restore our civilization with somebody else’s babies.”

So, what is the teenage killer supposed to think? The Buffalo killer was embracing a theory that is being held by Republican lawmakers. Republicans protect the right to purchase firearms by preventing regulation to be passed in Congress. A Republican President thought it was okay to lead a coup attempt to overthrow our elected government because he lost an election, and he is the current the leader of the GOP. Our capitol was ransacked, hundreds were injured, and people were killed in the coup attempt.

In his mind he was doing God's work. After all, nearly everything he believed was supported by the Republican Party, and they are expected to win in November.

The forum's Republicans will remain silent about all of this. What the hell can they say?

 

[fncceo]

People really want us to win

Voting machines and postal employees want her to win.

 

[Lastamender]

She knows the DNC has another 2000 mules to roll out.

They better leave their cellphones at home.

 

[MaryL]

Of Pelosi was a cat, this would be her 10th life. If she was a horse, she would have long ago been put to pasture. And 80 year old happy go lucky Biden, the kids would have gently put him in a retirement home.

I saw gas at $4.499 per gallon this morning, and I live in one of the lower gas price states. I predict a red tidal wave in November. Stagflation is killing us.

I can say that you are a moron. Tighter gun laws will have no impact on school shootings...unless you stop advertising them as "Gun Free" areas and perhaps put some security in place. Wackos do what wackos do....and this had nothing to do with any Republican. If anything he was confused by idiots like you who call flag waving a coup.
