Former Democrat US senator Joe Manchin is campaigning for RINO US senator Susan Collins.

It's a little surprising because Democrats usually try to distance themselves from RINOs in order to not draw attention.

Joe was an old school Democrat... "Normal" ... Who cares how Republican RINO makes it... So be it... She's an "R" and not a "D". and she's needed to secure a majority its OK.

Yea it's ok. And it takes a guy like Manchin to be able to say nice things about her. I couldn't do that :)

Manchin needs to focus on getting the RINO elected.

Everyone else needs to focus on the midterms and keeping the majorities.

I personally think we're good... Rallies are packed and the Democrats look retarded.

Yea, I'm not worried either. I'm hopeful that we get a super-majority but if not it's no biggie.

Who said super majority??

Richard Petty, the old race car driver was at one of Trump's rallies a few days back and he gave a great analogy.

He talked about Trump being a race car driver, Richard said like any great driver he needs a great "Pit Crew".

He argued that you need to vote Republican all the way down the ticket to give Trump the support needed to complete his America First agenda.

Sometimes races in the down ticket(s) are settled by only a handful of votes.

So, people who shouldn't vote and do, void the vote of those who can and do.

A Democrat spoke at a Chicago event saying that when they get in power they'll not just go after Trump but his supporters, like young people, so that they think twice about supporting him.

Apathy is not going to help us.

Be positive.

We were on the cusp of being France and or Italy, or whatever other European country that is on fire today.

Apathy will not help NY pull out of its current Democrat stranglehold.

It could happen! And I'm optimistic. Once we get there we'll be able to codify things that have been put off for way too long.

I missed that! I know there there are a lot of awesome rallies happening with Trump as a guest speaker. I need to tune in to more of them! Richard Petty is right and that's exactly what I did today (first day of early voting in NY.) I voted straight ticket: Bruce Blakeman for governor, Saritha Komatireddy replace that beach Leticia James, Fred Akshar for sheriff, and a bunch of rinos too. Straight ticket this time.

She (Slotkin) is a lunatic, and she's the definition of fascist. I hope the college students (who love that word so much) are paying attention (in an intelligent way) to what she's saying.

Slotkin (i.e. Pudge, here in Michigan) was never elected. She was installed by the Michigan Voter Fraud machine.

But she's just a patsy. She exists as a mouthpiece for the Elitists who want to hide behind the curtains and pull the levers of power.

College students are already indoctrinated and can't think for themselves anymore.

Colleges are dying because of this. Anyone who does the math today can see that they aren't worth the money anymore, and many have done the math.

And now that the Trump admin. is cracking down on student loans for useless degrees, there will be even fewer kids going to college (and less money going to these socialist indoctrination camps).

I'm sorry... I'll take super majority if it happens... There is a lot going on and sometimes patients is the best.

JosephP was talking swh!t the other day about Canada and how well Carney was doing... NOT!!!

There was an election yesterday in BC. The NDP, far left party, was in power but they didn't have a majority.

They tried to capitalize on this Trump/Carney stuff and they called and election to try to get a majority.... AND in doing so they F**King lost, as trump would say, in numbers like no one has ever seen.

BC is kind of like California in that if you look out side of the large city centers it's conservative.

There are 2 cities in BC that drags the vote left, Vancouver and Victoria, anyway a Conservative majority was voted in for the first time in almost 100 years.

100 years... (Almost)

When BS was left politically they blocked a pipeline needed for Alberta to sell oil to customers to the west of Canada. Looks like they'll be able to build it now.

Things are happening but not always at the pace you want.

This is it!!! You've done your part... I have seen a few things from your state... The republican Governor is AWESOME and your AG as well. I hope they get elected and the healing starts.

NY isn't as bad as California and maybe if some normal people get elected healing will start.

BC elected a conservative majority for the 1st time in 98 years... be hopeful.

She was part of the Seditious 6, recall the 6 Democrats that came out a year or more ago telling the military that they shouldn't follow orders...

They need to look into these people...

Elissa Slotkin worked for the CIA, may still be working, and she gained her Senate seat was kind of sketchy.

For now, we need to keep our majorities so that Trump can finish his America 1st policies and continue with the Donroe policies.

That's it!!!

I'm with you on that subject. My wife got mad at me for making my 9 year old think negatively about school, but I can't help it. Schools aren't appealing to me anymore (unless it's a trade school.) I don't need a free babysitter, a bunch of dictators, or a Michelle Obama lunch.

It's the only way to justify having 535 employees on our payroll.

That's cool. Isn't BC the most leftie province? And they didn't take the bait?

BC is kind of like California in that if you look out side of the large city centers it's conservative.

I think the same can be said about all 50 states. I think we need to dissolve the states and let each town govern themselves. Then when a town goes to sh~t we can just move to the next town.

When BS was left politically they blocked a pipeline needed for Alberta
to sell oil to customers to the west of Canada. Looks like they'll be able to build it now.

Is gas cheap in Alberta right now?

Yes. We need to pre-cripple the next Democrat administration, if there ever is one. Destroying the Iranian regime would be a great start.

No, there are others. Quebec is probably the worst offender.

There was a federal election a while back and they showed a map of BC on how they voted. It was all conservative and you had to expand the map to see where the liberal vote was.

The 2 cities I made mention in my original post, Vancouver and Victoria.

Vancouver has an area like the Kensington area in Philadelphia where there are Drug Zombies. People are getting tired of all the crap and gaslighting.

Things are changing all over the world, and it looks like its happening in BC.

About Quebec, they think they are special. In Canada they have a thing called Equalization Payments. These are payments from wealthy Provinces to those that are not, so that things are fair and equal.

Alberta makes a Sh!t load of money. Alberta is forced to give Quebec ~ 8 BILLION a year in Equalization Payments to shut them up.

BTW, Quebec will not let Alberta push a pipeline through their Province so that Alberta can sell their oil and gas to countries east of Canada...

BUT they cash the Equalization Payments checks every year.

This would be like Texas having to pay for California's stupidity.

I think the same can be said about all 50 states. I think we need to dissolve the states and let each town govern themselves. Then when a
town goes to sh~t we can just move to the next town.

Things have gotten strange in our lifetime Aaron... Think of, or look up, the electoral map of presidents like Kennedy, Nixon and Regan (to name a few)... They entire country voted for people who had good ideas.

This was in our lifetime.

What happened.

The world is on fire and it has nothing to do with the Orange man.

Is gas cheap in Alberta right now?

No, it is full of federal taxes and carbon taxes... ~ 182 a liter... there is roughly 4 liters in a gallon... 3.9 so... roughly 7.10 a gallon. We make and process all our own products and we don't have to ship it to ourselves.

Health care is not free and we have someone 1000s of miles away (Ottawa) telling us how to run our lives.

Yes. We need to pre-cripple the next Democrat administration, if there ever is one. Destroying the Iranian regime would be a great start.

I initially wasn't happy about Iran but since we're in I hope that the Iranian people are freed and can make something of it.

Exactly.

And it was getting that way over 40 years ago when I went to school. I had to fight for the classes I needed in high school.

It became clear that the schools are geared toward producing union worker bots and not people who could actually think.
