Politics-What's on your mind?

'Brother' Clarence Thomas, the SCJ who victimized Anita Hill and still has not been held accountable for his treacherous deeds against Ms. Hill, has apparently blown his 'trumped up trumpet' by assisting an GOP South Carolina Senator escape accountability in Miss Fanni Willis' probe into election interference over in Georgia. When will the Clarence and Ginny Thomases be held accountable for their not-so-secret deeds, which impacts every citizen in our country?

It is disgusting and alarming, what we learn each day concerning people who would rather believe lies and trust those who would compromise the safety of Americans in their pursuit of ruining democracy.

I was just watching Morning Joe and they had the new govenor elect of Maryland, Wes Moore on. What an outstanding young man and we are going to see much more of Moore (sorry I couldn't resist) in the future.
Also a giant shout out to all the people who voted and kept our democracy alive!! It is clear most people are no longer falling for the BS of "has been" Trump. Of course there was the huge miscalculation concerning our country by Justice Alito, which really drove the vote. Yep, guess the Justice learned first hand, why politics and religion should not mix.

We did pretty goood in Michigan yesterday.

Gov. Whitmer was re-elected
AG Nessel was re-elected
Prop 1 passed shortening term limits and requiring politicians to disclose finances
Prop 2 passed amending the state constitution to expand voting rights
Prop 3 passed adding abortion rights into Michigans Constitution
Once all votes are in the Dems might control Michigan's Senate and House

And we kept the crazies (Tudor Dixon and John Gibbs) at bay, for awhile.

Could have been worse ... much worse.

Yay for us.

That is excellent news, Orema.

They say it's too close to call but I don't see how they come up with that rationalization, but, Tina Kotek will hopefully be our governor.

I was thrilled to see decisive wins in Michigan and over in Pennsylvania (Fetterman).

I'm waiting to see the next chess moves provided by the Jan 6th Committee (Liz Cheney, et al). In my mind's eye, the nation cannot really move forward until we have a decisive win on stopping T---p. I want the committee to make sure our country never goes through this again.

Generalized and specific anxieties in Georgia, here.

1. Margarine Taylor Greene was re- elected. I bet she gets a committee appointment now.

2. Warnock vs. Walker - I can't believe we have to go to a runoff. Even if the Republicans want this to be a red state and get the Senate seat, Herschel Walker is dumber than dirt, which should be obvious to anyone. And I hate that we have to sit through another month of campaign ads for these two. Please, please, please Stacey Abrams, do your magic and get the votes for Rev. Warnock.

2024 is on my mind and who will get the Democratic nomination if Biden doesn't run again.

Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer's name is being mentioned a lot in Michigan as a potential candidate. I like her and just voted for her, but I'on't know when it comes to being the "leader of the free world."

I thought Hilary Clinton was perfect for the job having been a Senator, Secretary of State, a creator of a health-care initiative while First Lady, and I was impressed with her ability to move past that nasty 2008 election and work with Obama ... but that ship has sailed and even I don't think she should run again. Pity.

DeSantis will probably be the Republican nominee. He can be beaten, but by whom? Biden, Harris, someone more or less progressive? I don't think Whitmer can meet the challenge.

As usual, I'll vote for the Democratic nominee—whoever it is—but I hope I don't have to hold my breath while casting my vote.

We've already had a tiny clue ripple across trusted news media reports.... Did you once read, about a month ago or so, how media pundits thought California Governor Gavin Newsom would be the brightest star in the Democratic party to challenge Dr. Kill-Joy (The GOP Florida governor psycho-boy)?

Gavin Newsome came up with and passed laws in CA in opposition to DeSantis' warped agenda against the LGBTQ and Women's rights.

I am wondering if Newsome is the choice of the Democratic Party. Newsome, Whitmer Ticket for 2024?? Go Gretchen and Gavin.

Like you, I vote strictly Democratic, up and down the voting ticket. For other fill in the blank options on the vote, like for write-n candidates challenging incumbent judges? I always use Ruth Bader Ginsberg as my go-to choice. That way it is fucking clear that I'm wholly Democrat, through and through.

PS/ did you know that our out-going Govenor Kate Brown is related to Gavin Newsome? Brown was Oregon's first elected official from the LGBTQ sector because she identifies as Bisexual. Last week we just elected Oregon's first out Lesbian as our next Governor.
