@oralloy,
Well, if reality is so hard for you to handle, then the escape to your fictional world of video games is more suited to not only your personality but to the outmost lies you tell yourself.

Everyone needs a hobby.

Not everyone tells lies.

You should stop telling lies.

It's dishonorable.

Neptune in today's society, amongst tRumpian repubs; "dishonorable" is not exactly considered a terribly bad trait, unfortunately. It was one of their gods strongest traits!

Wrong again. It's the progressives who glory in their own lack of honor.

I handle reality just fine. That's why you cannot point out any untrue statements in my posts.

@Region Philbis,
Mr. Biden is such an extremist that he couldn't win the support of a single Republican.

That's a pretty catastrophic leadership failure.

Supreme Court rejects final Trump election challenge

Quote:
The Supreme Court disposed of the last of former President Donald Trump's challenges to state election procedures Monday, rejecting his appeal of lower court rulings that upheld Wisconsin's handling of mail-in ballots.

The court announced the rejection without comment in a one-line order, which is its normal practice.

Trump and his allies had a uniformly unsuccessful record before the Supreme Court in their effort to overturn the presidential election results in states won by Joe Biden.
-----
Monday's action was no surprise, because if the court had intended to take any of the Trump challenges, it would have done so before Congress formally counted the Electoral College vote Jan. 6, a process delayed several hours by rioting at the Capitol.


So the saga of Trump and his allies' attempts to overturn the 2020 election has seemingly come to an end.

@Region Philbis,
There are presently over 100 state level pieces of legislation being proposed by republicans that all seek to limit access to voting. Whether that be by shortening time limits for mail in ballots, limiting the amount of drop boxes, eliminating weekend voting hours and on and on.

Everyone knows they do this because they figure the only way they can win is by making it harder for some people to vote.

But of course they say it’s all because they’re concerned about “voter fraud”.

Another one bites the dust:

Sen. Roy Blunt won't run for reelection in latest blow to GOP
The veteran lawmaker is the fifth Republican incumbent to say he won't be on the ballot next year.

By ANDREW DESIDERIO

03/08/2021 10:20 AM EST

Updated: 03/08/2021 12:01 PM EST

Sen. Roy Blunt of Missouri announced on Monday that he will not run for reelection in 2022, a surprise decision from the No. 4 GOP leader that comes amid a slew of retirements from top Senate Republicans.

Blunt, who was first elected to the Senate in 2010 and previously served for 14 years in the House, is the fifth Republican this cycle to announce his retirement. His decision is certain to set off a messy GOP primary in a state where former President Donald Trump remains popular.

“After 14 general election victories — three to county office, seven to the United States House of Representatives, and four statewide elections — I won’t be a candidate for reelection to the United States Senate next year,” Blunt said in a video message announcing his retirement.


Blunt, 71, has been a mainstay in Washington politics and the Republican establishment for more than two decades. First elected to the House in the 1996 GOP wave, Blunt served as House Republican whip before jumping to the Senate.

In announcing his retirement, Blunt joins GOP Sens. Rob Portman of Ohio, Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania, Richard Shelby of Alabama and Richard Burr of North Carolina, all of whom opted against seeking reelection in 2022. Sens. Chuck Grassley of Iowa and Ron Johnson of Wisconsin have yet to reveal their plans.

Missouri is not likely to be a competitive state for Democrats on the Senate map next year — Trump won the state by 15 percentage points last year — though Blunt’s retirement could set off a competitive primary battle to replace him and could give Democrats a chance to expand their 50-50 Senate majority.

The jockeying to replace Blunt is expected to begin in earnest. Just last week, Missouri’s scandal-plagued former Gov. Eric Greitens said he was “evaluating” whether to run for the seat in 2022. Other potential GOP candidates include Rep. Ann Wagner, Rep. Jason Smith, Lt. Gov. Mike Kehoe, state Attorney General Eric Schmitt and Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft, whose father, former Attorney General John Ashcroft, once held the state’s other Senate seat.

Sen. Rick Scott of Florida, the chair of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, vowed that Republicans “will hold this seat” and said the Senate GOP campaign arm “will work tirelessly” to do so.

Blunt narrowly defeated Democrat Jason Kander in 2016, but Trump carried Missouri handily twice. Kander indicated on Monday that he will not run for the seat, saying he wants to stay focused on the veterans group he runs. “Love this work, don’t want a new job,” Kander said.

Scott Sifton, a former Democratic state senator, announced his candidacy last month. He was backed immediately by the only current statewide elected Democrat, state Auditor Nicole Galloway, who lost a race for governor last fall.

In a statement on Monday, Sifton said Blunt’s announcement “shows just how high the stakes are for Missouri families next year” and called the race “an opportunity to vote for better leadership.”

Former Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.), who served for two terms in the Senate but was defeated in her bid for a third by Republican Josh Hawley, said Monday she won't run for public office again.

On the GOP side, Greitens has already begun laying the groundwork as the pro-Trump, anti-Mitch McConnell candidate in the race. The former president and the Senate minority leader are at odds over the future of the GOP and the best way for the party to win back control of the Senate in 2022, with McConnell promising to back candidates regardless of their support for Trump, and the former president suggesting that McConnell should no longer lead Senate Republicans.

Blunt voted to acquit Trump in the former president’s most recent impeachment trial in the Senate but occasionally broke with Trump throughout his term. Blunt’s decision, combined with the other four senators not seeking reelection, could suggest a level of discomfort with the direction of the party, especially with Trump looming over the GOP’s future.

Let's hope the capitol is overrun by peaceful protesters again he tries to give his first State of the Union speech.

It'll be pretty funny if they chase him off the podium live on TV.

The storming of the Capitol has been seen as a dark moment in American history and a significant threat to democracy in the US.

I don't wonder that someone wants this to happen again, because it is probably more fun for him to watch this on tv than to play dull video games in the basement.

@Walter Hinteler,
It is eerie how some people still claim the Jan 6 riot was a peaceful protest, in spite of the deaths and damages.

And regarding the security during the State of the Union address:
Quote:
The Capitol Police is keeping its security posture high in response to intelligence that indicates some extremists who joined the Jan. 6 insurrection have discussed plans to attack the building during the State of the Union, Acting Capitol Police Chief Yogananda Pittman revealed Thursday.

The chatter among extremists about trying to blow up the Capitol during the still-unscheduled presidential address, Pittman said, has prompted the Capitol Police to maintain the elevated presence it has kept since last month's riot. Any decrease in the police's posture, she said, would come after the threat passes and other gaps identified in the aftermath of the Capitol siege are resolved.

Spare me the virtue signaling. It's silly at best.

Classic World of Warcraft is far from dull.

Plus, Classic Burning Crusade is about to launch.

It says a lot about you that you believe people spend their time in their basement. Normal people live in the main part of their house. Do you like hanging out in crypts?

There is nothing eerie about the fact that conservatives adhere to reality and reject leftist delusion.

Most of the protesters did not attack anyone.

Most of the deaths were nonviolent and were instead health related.

It remains to be seen, but it is possible that all of the deaths were nonviolent and were instead health related. There are suspicions that one death was from a reaction to being sprayed with bear repellant. But as far as I know those suspicions have yet to be proved.

Republicans murdering birds so they can make a buck.
Leftists undoing republican delusion.
Eerie? Reality? "Conservatives?"

Your rational is the same thing as a lie.
Belittle your errors, pass the blame, oh, but it was done for a "good reason".

Good reasons? So murderous, greedy corporate republican pigs can murder birds with their toxic chemical byproducts.

What part of, "you have no credibility" don't you understand?
Own it, you are a worthless, sad excuse for a human being...

Can you name just one thing republicans have done in the last 5 years worth supporting?

And why should Democrats or "we the people" support this?

Republicans don't seem to know why there have been no Antifa arrests from the republican insurrection riots of Jan 6th.

Antifa is anti-fascist...

The republican Jan 6th riots were racist, anti-police, anti-Semitic, anti-democracy and unamerican. "Fascist"...
