2022 Midterms

[get it to x]

Will be interesting to see how the vote turns out next month here in Lake Wobegone. Right wingers are claiming Governor Walz and State AG Keith Ellison did not do enough to stop the summer 2020 riots and emphasize that in their campaigns. Of course, they overlook the fact that it was Republicans who refused to impose police reforms that would have avoided those troubles completely. As always, it is the Republicans who cause the problems but they always manage to put the blame on Democrats who stupidly persist in turning the other cheek rather than to swing back with the truth.

Can you believe ~ some right wingnuts are even blaming Walz for the inflation! Haven't looked close enough but I believe they are also accusing him of causing high gas prices. For all we know they are even blaming him for the Fall in the Garden of Eden.

All of those riots could have been avoided if one person didn't resist arrest. This is a recurring theme in a lot of these riots. The cop in the case of George Floyd is in jail, and rightly so. But this was avoidable. And now, we're going to avoid it by letting every accused felon back on to the street and have the cops doing the avoiding because "What for?"

Safety is a survival instinct issue, unlike choice or transgender theory. The voter who is a one issue voter isn't going to be persuaded to vote against their issue unless safety/survival is at stake.

You conveniently forgot that the murderous cop pleaded guilty to the crime which led to all this.

As I've written here before, in Minnesota you must first ascertain whether someone knows he/she is using counterfeit money before you can accuse them of the crime of counterfeiting. The cashier and store manager both admitted they made no such effort. Further, the cops also admitted they did not ask as well. Thus, the crime was in arresting George Floyd since nobody was aware if he was actually aware that the currency was not real. I know it was a long while ago but I have previously mentioned that a white neighbor of mine had a fake $20 (counterfeiters were very active here in Lake Wobegone a couple of decades ago). He was not aware it was fake. Nobody arrested him. He simply reached into his pocket, got another bill and then exchanged the fake bill at some bank. Case closed. That's how to handle such a situation - no need to arrest anyone. Had they treated Mr Floyd like they treat white folks there would never have been any problem. No justice, no peace - just like it says in the Bible.

I posted "The cop in the case of George Floyd is in jail, and rightly so." I guess you just read the first sentence and went into outrage mode. Or you left out my whole post to make your point. You missed your calling. You should have been an MSNBC editor.

[Brooklyn]

In your anger you missed your own line about "All of those riots could have been avoided if one person didn't resist arrest." Again, it was not the resistance which caused it. It was the murderous cop who did. Mebbe you should work for Fox some day.

No anger at all. Agree with you 100% on Chauvin. Don't agree that we can do away with robust law enforcement. Cops should never infringe on civil liberties, but they shouldn't stand around and watch a store be looted. It might help if people like you didn't sew so much distrust in police that you make it harder for them to do their jobs. It might also help if we educated young people how to handle an encounter with police. Everyone has a part to play to make it work.

Hi Everyone:

I'm obviously a new poster, and also a relatively recent grad of UMD (depending on your interpretation of 'recent': 2002). I am a New York resident (for now; waiting to see what occurs shortly with out governor's race). I've been reading this board for a while but never felt compelled to sign up; frankly I'm more interested in Wheels' Maryland lacrosse comments! But the election is near, so...

First, I appreciate the owners' work to create a lacrosse website.

Unfortunately for the politics thread today, I don't have anything specific to say other than who I am and maybe a quick synopsis of my philosophy. I also wanted to let some of the few Republicans here know that I'm also a Republican and support most conservative views (less the hard line about abortion; I agree to 15 weeks; I tend to favor immigration but obviously not open borders). I'm VERY patriotic. This country of ours is great; I'd caution everyone to never bet against America, internally or externally.

I'm not a Trumper but I understand his appeal regardless how reckless or unimpressive he is. I don't think Trump will ultimately run. If Trump is indicted, I shall shed no tears.

Though most of you disagree, I like Desantis a tremendous amount and believe he will be my party's nominee in 2024. I like Lee Zeldin so much I might be a kool-aid drinker for him. Hochul is an unmitigated disaster in too may ways to count; she has chased many of my democratic friends into voting for Zeldin. New York is a brutal state to run, but quality leadership would go a long way to helping turn a very unfortunate series of events here. I like your man CradleandShoot here; he obviously lives in Rochester and realizes my next sentence; few non New Yorkers realize how incredibly dangerous that city is any longer.

On the other side of the aisle, I firmly believe the Democratic Party has become wholly captive to an extremely bizarre sect of identity politic fanatics, which is very likely to eliminate many of their current politicians from public office on November 8. You can read even on these boards the flirtation (if not outright adoration) of some of the most extreme identity politics mania...that strikes me as not simply bizarre but self-defeating (it also strikes Barack Obama as bizarre and likely to cause losses).

At the end of the day, elections often become referendums on the economy. No matter how much you want to debate statistics, voters know better than statisticians and economists; if they feel insecure, that is what matters. And today, the voters are wildly insecure about their personal finances. I don't need to tell you who will pay for that feeling.

As you can tell with my name, the discussion of Elon Musk might arise from time to time. He fascinates me in many ways. I realize he isn't well received by most Democrats, especially after purchasing Twitter, but there can be zero doubt that this guy will likely be remembered hundreds of years from now.

That said, have a great day everyone. Don't forget to go outside.

Pretty good article here on using data in determining voter roll integrity as well as drilling down on individual voter habits and preferences. It argues fractal computing is way ahead of the technology the Dems are using, calling their method the Big Data Titanic.

Mike Lindell is your George Soros, except only one of them is trying to destroy our Republic.

Lindell.

Insane to compare Soros and Lindell. And I've been loudly critical of some of Soros actions and more importantly his white washing of how he made his money off the backs of English citizenry (don't buy the it's ok becuase it was bad monetary and fiscal policy and someone was going to slam the country and more important be the specific reason the people are eating each other while you take your promote out of Quantum - when you short an asset your betting on it to go to ZERO value fundamentally due to the asymmetric risk/reward of shorting and cost of carry)

Sometime wonder how I got over here myself from starting on LP as a Hobart cheerleader and aspirational best troll ever to Syracuse and Cornell. We come correct in Geneva, the refs suck too. Clearly it was a mistake to drop our whack baseball program when lacrosse moved up to D1 - we're clearly a breeding ground for great pitching prospects!

I’m probably not the most partisan guy tbh. For instance, I don’t feel the two parties are (at their core) very different. I do feel that from time to time, the extreme end of a party can control the tone and direction of it. I feel that’s true today for the Democratic Party. Biden taking time out to be interviewed by Dylan Mulvaney the other day is a prime example of that. You’ve got many serious issues confronting this country with people very nervous about their finances and security, but you sit down for two hours with a trans activist with a very questionable background?

Nevertheless, I tend to focus more on my own party and less the other. It’s depressing to me when I see one of these nutcase Qanon guys gaining attention, more so when a Republican politician begins to resemble one. Some of these politicians just can’t shut up, they love the sound of their own voice. Like I said, you can remove several of them in any election and I will not be disappointed. They’re toxic to the party.

I’m hoping our party refocuses on what has made us traditionally more appealing to voters: family values, smaller government, strong military. Truthfully, I think as a party we have gotten away from some of that, especially smaller government. I’d like to see us return. And I do believe we will; I’ll be very disappointed if we win the House and Senate, and then spend two years conducting bull-crap investigations rather than governing.

Regarding Desantis, I doubt my answer will be satisfactory, but I like his leadership skills. I can’t point to any specific policy per se. Sometimes a great politician is someone who responds effectively to disasters or challenges, rather than completely rewriting the book on whatever philosophy they represent. From the outside looking in, he has been extremely effective, underscored by the coming election where he’s set to take about 20% of the Democratic vote. Youngkin is doing similar things in Virginia, popular guys with state residents though not necessarily with media and more partisan Democrats. When any politician wins a solid chunk of the other party, I pay attention. The guy has ‘it’.

I think Zeldin can do the same if he can win. God knows we need it. I can say that when Blakeman got control of Nassau County, it was if life changed for the better for everyone in that county. I live in Westchester, and our executive Latimer (Democrat) is okay; I’d have preferred Astorino, but such is life.

Ok. Hope that sort of answered things though I doubt you’re happy with the reply.

Cops should never infringe on civil liberties, but they shouldn't stand around and watch a store be looted. It might help if people like you didn't sew so much distrust in police that you make it harder for them to do their jobs. It might also help if we educated young people how to handle an encounter with police. Everyone has a part to play to make it work.

Contrary to your deluded beliefs, I'm making it easier for cops to do their job. Just obey the law, adhere to the Constitution and to the principles of law, justice, and equity, and we will have a better and safer society. Cops need to stop abusing people, selling drugs, and taking payoffs from the Mafia and organized criminals. And most importantly, they need to stop targeting people based on their ethnicity or skin color.

Young people do not need to be educated as to how to deal with cops. On the contrary, the Constitution imposes limits on the government so that it is the cops who need to be properly trained. Unfortunately, far too many people like you fail to understand the proper role of government and citizens rights. This is why you persist in your myth making that the cops are ever so innocent and that all else are to blame for the mess we have in society.

As for looting, see my earlier links to police agent provocateurs and white supremacists who caused the troubles we saw in the summer of 2020.

You didn't answer my question. You instead doubled down on your negative view of the other party. But that's okay.

I’m hoping our party refocuses on what has made us traditionally more appealing to voters: family values, smaller government, strong military. Truthfully, I think as a party we have gotten away from some of that, especially smaller government. I’d like to see us return. And I do believe we will; I’ll be very disappointed if we win the House and Senate, and then spend two years conducting bull-crap investigations rather than governing.

I cant tell you precisely what will happen: your party will run the same playbook they have for 20 years: clutch pearls, and tell its base that spending is bad "therefore" they can't in good conscience sign one single bill for the next two years.

They did it for the last six years of Obama. No bills. Not one. Have a look....the only bill they passed, outside of naming post offices (not kidding, have a look) was the sequester. Do you remember what that was?

That's what's coming. They've already started.

Question three: regarding smaller government, how much bigger or smaller was the Federal Government when Trump left?

And lastly: when was the last time a Republican President or governor cut total Government spending (this includes a State getting money from the Federal .gov) from one year to the next?

Regarding Desantis, I doubt my answer will be satisfactory, but I like his leadership skills. I can’t point to any specific policy per se. Sometimes a great politician is someone who responds effectively to disasters or challenges, rather than completely rewriting the book on whatever philosophy they represent. From the outside looking in, he has been extremely effective, underscored by the coming election where he’s set to take about 20% of the Democratic vote.

20% of registered Dems will vote for DeSantis? Source?

Ok. Hope that sort of answered things though I doubt you’re happy with the reply.

Well outside of not answering one of my questions.....you're wrong, your replies are just fine. Thank you for taking the time to answer at least some of my questions.
