Upcoming Midterms - How concerned are you

[CaseHardened]

Just keeping the discussion going....

If the Communists have demonstrated anything at all, it is that they are utterly ruthless and lack all respect for America or any law.

They respect the law of their masters.

They respect the law of their masters.

They only respond to force.

So, I am not concerned at all.

The Republican party will in fact lose the House. No doubt in my mind.

The Republicans will hold the Senate. No doubt about this either.

The House will get nothing done because they will be too busy trying to impeach Trump and all on his team.

Because the House will get nothing else done, the Senate will accomplish anything either.

Come back and read this post in 10 months....

I have said it multiple times that I would vote for Vance. I like him and his wife. Also pretty hard to call him a racist.

Just because a person is married to a person out of their race does not mean they cannot be a racist.

Just saying.

Lots of different peoples/ races to hate.

President Lincoln’s 1861–1863 suspension of habeas corpus allowed the military to arrest and indefinitely detain without trial individuals deemed disloyal, such as Southern sympathizers, spies, or protestors in Maryland and the Midwest. It aimed to suppress insurrection and protect vital supply lines, but triggered intense legal controversy over executive authority.

Key impacts and details include:

• Targeted Detention: It allowed the, often indefinite, confinement of thousands, including prominent Maryland politicians and secessionists, such as in the John Merryman case.
• Military Authority: It placed areas, especially in Maryland, under what was effectively martial law, allowing military courts to handle civilian cases.
• Legal Conflict:
  Chief Justice Roger B. Taney ruled the suspension unconstitutional, arguing only Congress could take such action;
  Lincoln ignored this ruling.

To be fair, Lincolns actions are the origin of much of the loss of freedom we suffer from today.

The real question is "How is that different from the last year".

It's not like congress is actually doing anything useful now.

Trump doesn't need to suspend hebeus corpus to arrest criminal politicians. There are plenty of laws on the books that have been broken by these asshats.
And all it takes is one to show the rest their days are numbered.
And "qualified immunity" isn't their "get out of jail free" card. There's a reason it's "qualified". It only applies to actions taken in the course of their duties.
Violating the Constitution is NOT one of their duties!

They have blinded their ranks to fact that the Laws the"evil" Republicans are enforcing, the ones they so diametrically oppose were written by their own party.

I do not disagree.

And in many respects he was a terrible president.

Across the Pond, in England, slavery was abolished decades earlier. The government simply purchased the slaves, at market rate or higher, and freed them.

But Lincoln was extremely ambitious, and married an honest-to-god psychopath because she came with a large dowry. And three of his four sons died.

The Lincoln wanted a distraction from his personal demons. He wanted war.

He refused all Prisoner swaps. The horrors of Andersonville could have been avoided.

Some sources report Lincoln loved to hear the reports of the atrocities Sherman and others were up to across the South.

For better or worse, Lincoln wished to repatriate all slaves. We can debate on the ethics of that, but it would have been a practical solution to many issues.

Without Lincoln's War, and the near elimination of an entire generation of American men, there would have been no need for Ellis Island and the importation of millions of Europeans. Many of us, myself included, would have remained serfs.

Trump, on the other hand, is going to absurd lengths to coddle our Communist Opponents. He needs to take a page from Lincoln's playbook.

Well.......

Nothings any safer and we still have domestic terrorism running rampant. But it's being called protesting.
Democrats are still doing whatever they want without worry or repercussion.
Cost of living is getting worse, far from better. So the economy is still in the tank.
Our 2A rights are still being taken away.

All the reasons Trump got re-elected and had some lefties turn on their own have yet to be realized. He hasn't done much this time around.
The #1 thing that got him left, and middle votes, was lowering the economy and making life affordable for the average American.
The #2 was making cities safer again.
#3 was restoring our gun rights.
Fail on all three.
He was the lesser of two evils again, but this time.........................

I feel all things will be shifting to blue again.

Trump just came out and said he wants to make things less affordable. So there's that lol.
