He seems to have had a persistent presence over the years there in Texas. That's what is needed - stick to your principles and stay in the fight. I'm glad he's branching out to other states.

Why do you think Beto would be a good president? His executive experience seems to be minimal (one year as "mayor pro tem" of El Paso, according to Wikipedia).

How much "executive experience" did trump have?

rosalie's avatar

WELL....executive EXPERIENCE ??? tRUMP HAS NONE that's been an advantage to this country and the citizens. That's why you select seasoned advisors and department heads that can execute your vision. What we are living through is Trumps' vision of his America, minus the average " JOE BLOW " and other perceived enemies of the far right regime.

I'm ready for Beto. Or Raskin. Or AOC. Or Pete B. Or any number of rational non-Repubs.

I think Chris Cuomo did it so people would run to his platform & he would get more viewers & attention. I use to think he was an upstanding guy. The more I learn about him, the more I don’t like him or his brother.

I think Cuomo’s a bombastic politician in every negative sense of the word “politician”. Chris is the little brother who has serious issues. I don’t like either of them. I used to a little bit, but something about them shouted “egomaniacs at work” to me. Didn’t trust’em.

And, in the other world of Vance, it appears the military increased the water level of a lake here in Ohio so that sycophant could go on a kayaking trip down the Little Miami River and Caesars Creek Lake, about 20 miles from where I live.

Thanks for correcting C.Cuomo re AOC! and

yes, the Orange Felon's relationship with Epstein is impt.

BUT PLEASE interview SMARTElections (L.Friesdat) and/or Professor W.Mehane about the integrity of the 2024 election because - election integrity matters AND - what if Harris actually won!!

Expand full comment
Susanna J. Sturgis's avatar

Election integrity does matter, and that's why focusing on the 2024 election misses several key points. A big one is the impact of the Supreme Court's 2010 Citizens United decision. Another is the gutting of the 1965 Voting Rights Act. As soon as the pre-clearance requirement was removed, the states of the Old Confederacy were up to their old tricks of suppressing the vote of Black people, young people, and anyone likely to vote Democratic.

Caroline Karp's avatar

YES, The SCOTUS decision in Citizens United and the Roberts’ Court decisions re the VRA were/are hugely important re the fairness and integrity of US elections. GOP-led gerrymandering and voter suppression efforts also affected the 2024 presidential election.

HOWEVER, WHAT IF KAMALA HARRIS ACTUALLY WON?

PLEASE TAKE A MINUTE TO CONSIDER THE INFORMATION COMPILED AND REPORTED BY THE THIS WILL HOLD (TWH) Substack, Parts I-VI, Michael D. Sellar’s external review of THW’s findings on Deeper Look substack; SMARTElections; Prof Walter Mebane’s report to Election Truth Alliance and/or the easy to read summary by C.Amato. SEE REFERENCES, below. These authors (This Will Hold, SMARTElections, Professor Mebane):

REPORT unusual statistical irregularities in several swing states (PA, NV and others) where DEMS WON ALL OF THE DOWN BALLOT SEATS but DJT won the Presidential election by a margin too small to contest. [SEE the SMARTElections v. Rockland County, NY lawsuit; SMARTElections; Deeper Look substack; C.Amato]

ANALYZED 7,040,360 votes across 67 PA counties (9,157 wards/precincts) and found that “111,088 of 225,440 possibly fraudulent votes were estimated with high confidence to be malevolent manipulations of votes while the remainder were estimated to be a mix of manipulated votes and strategic voting behaviors. This would exceed the 120,266 vote margin of victory between Trump and Harris (emphasis added).”(SEE Election Truth Alliance summary of Mebane’s findings @ https://electiontruthalliance.org/pennsylvania-working-paper-dr-walter-mebane/)

SUGGEST that there is a possibility that software developed by Palantir (Peter Thiel), combined with technology developed by Tripp Lite/Eaton** -- which is commonly used on 70% of U.S. voting machines, could be remotely accessed using Starlink (Musk) to alter votes. NOTE: Pro V&V, one of only two labs that test and certify U.S. voting machines, approved 4 updates on voting machine software and firmware between Mar and Sept 2024 without additional testing or external review because the changes were supposedly minor. The updates covered many, possibly most of the voting machines in use across the U.S. and could have made voting machines susceptible to external manipulation. [SEE SMART Elections Substack (Feb 19, 2025) https://smartelections.substack.com/p/voting-machine-testing-lab-website] ** Tripp-Lite was given to L.Leo’s Marble Freedom Trust in 2020 by B. Seid, and sold to Eaton Corp. in 2021.

THIS INFORMATION IS CURIOUS and surely deserves careful examination by … the States, the courts (SMARTElections v. Rockland County, NY)…Congress.

In addition, note that a former CIA analyst provided (uncorroborated) claims that he participated in an NSA analysis of the election in Dec 2024 which concluded that Harris won. (SEE interview with CIA whistle-blower, https://thiswillhold.substack.com/p/ex-cia-whistleblower-the-nsa-audited)

I'm sooo confused about this whole vaccine thingy. Who to believe, Nobel Prize Laureate Katalin Kariko, who spent 30+ years investigating mRNA and its use as a vaccine, or a conspiracy theorist former heroin addict adulterer liar? Whar my kritical thunking schills?

HI2thDoc's avatar

Our son is receiving his PhD in molecular biosciences, and his wife has a PhD in virology. I asked them about the role of mRNA in cellular physiology and they assured me that mRNA vaccines do NOT enter the cell's nucleus and thus do not affect the nuclear DNA. Try explaining that to conspiracy theorists who are keyboard "research" experts and just know better than Dr. Kariko et al.
