The problem here resides with state parties choosing their candidates.
The process of vetting is one which guarantees that the party (whoever it is they serve) only chooses candidates which they can control. And it doesn't matter which party you are talking about.
Corporations, the PAC money they contribute, tilt the scales and coopt anyone on either side which would otherwise vote the interest of the constituents. The Corporate Contributions have replaced the constituents. And it is why no party ever publicly hashes out a platform, and hasn't since the early 80's. Make no promises and you have nothing to defend when you stand for re-election. And having nothing that you promise the voters you are free to foillow the dictates of the party.
Clearly, I prefer, and see, Conservatism as the lesser of the two evils, but don't think for a moment that I fail to recognize that both are evil. They are evil because they pretend to represent "We the people" and they call it a democratic process, when everyone involved knows fully that it is not. The candidates who can spend the most and smear the most win in both parties and neither of them represent us.
The Republicans have lost a state senate seat in North Carolina and a House member in Florida. I don't know what they did, but clearly it wasn't fully in alignment with the corporate money.

RE: The SAVE Act - 2026 is the time to apply pressure on Thune and the filibuster
Look, to me this Save Act is like the Iran conflict, we couldn't let Iran have nukes. I feel the same about the Save Act, we need it AT ALL COSTS. Sure, the other stuff could benefit the Demonicrats but look at it this way, with the Save Act there might be a chance that their power will be eliminated by only having Americans voting. Why do you think the Demonicrats are so against it? Because they know, like me, that it could happen...that they would probably never win a majority in Congress, and all those illegals who are siphoning so many billions from taxpayers were a worthless cause and their gerrymandering and census figures were for naught.
This article talks about reconciliation. People not involved can read this and see how insane this is. We have people who have been too long in DC and can't see how dysfunctional and ridiculous.
Just pass a bill. There is nothing in the Constitution about 60 votes because its a stupid idea. The only super-majority is for changing the Constitution.
Quote:Trump Torches 'Human Garbage' Democrats for Their Desperate Midterm Election Interference Plot
President Trump unleashed a fiery but mostly peaceful attack on Democrats Sunday evening, branding them “human garbage” for their latest desperate scheme to meddle in the upcoming midterms.
Trump, in a post on his Truth Social media platform, tore into Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Barack Obama’s former Attorney General Eric Holder after the latter was added to a highly partisan, deceptively named “voter integrity” task force.
Holder, of course, has been a driving force behind the Democrat party's obsession with rigging the electoral map through his and Obama's “Redistricting U.” operation since 2016.
"So ironic that Cryin’ Chuck Schumer and the Democrats are hiring SLEAZEBAGS like Barack Hussein Obama’s Crooked former Attorney General, Eric Holder, and others of that ilk, to look into Voter Integrity, when this same group of Human Garbage RIGGED the 2020 Presidential Election," Trump fumed.
Trump noted that the resistance party that pretends to be passionately concerned about 'saving democracy' is actively fighting tooth and nail against the SAVE America Act, which would crack down on voting abuses and strengthen election security. And he had a few choice words for Republicans who seem content to sit on their hands when it comes to this uber-important legislation.
Trump is calling on Republicans to grow a spine and fight back before it’s too late.
GET TOUGH REPUBLICANS — THEY’RE COMING, AND THEY’RE COMING FAST! They’re no good for our Country, they almost destroyed it, and we don’t want to let that happen again! These are highly dishonest people who are, in many ways, treasonous, in that they are trying to destabilize the United States of America in what, some would call, a War. Republicans must TERMINATE THE FILIBUSTER, and approve all of the necessary Safeguards we need for Elections to protect the American Public during the upcoming Midterms.
Assuming the GOP will rally and unify in an attempt to secure the upcoming elections and fight the opposition's years-long effort to rig elections—either through racially motivated redistricting efforts or the invasion of illegals in this country—may be wishful thinking. It shouldn't be, but when you see feckless Republicans joining Democrats in thwarting efforts to save the SAVE America Act, it makes one understandably pessimistic.
Obama, in 2019, shared a post from All On The Line, a campaign affiliated with the National Democratic Redistricting Committee (NDRC), and a group that teamed up with Obama to create a program known as "Redistricting U."
Obama, in announcing the effort, said he could not "wait to begin organizing when the redistricting process starts in 2021," adding, "we need to build this movement from the ground up–right now.”
Holder serves as chairman of the organization, which coordinates legal challenges, fundraising, ballot initiatives, and grassroots organizing aimed at drawing favorable maps for Democrats.
"With fair maps and a more just electoral system, we can have leaders who are more likely to tackle the important issues facing our country and be more responsive to the needs and desires of the people they were elected to represent," he proudly states on the group's page.
he should have called out Thune by name!!!

When Yellowstone goes, pretty much the entire US will be uninhabitable. The ash in the sky will create a freeze that will kill crops across the whole country. Probably cause mass starvation across the entire planet. Yellowstone's eruption 2.1 million years ago was 10 times bigger than Mt. Tambora in Indonesia which created the year without summer (1816) which caused massive food shortages across Europe and North America.

Quote:Hawley fumes after 4 GOP senators help sink Trump-backed voter ID law
Collins, Murkowski, McConnell and Tillis argued election integrity should be determined at the state level
Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., criticized four fellow Republicans who joined Democrats to block an effort to add the Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act to the Senate's reconciliation package, saying "you can't explain it to me why you wouldn't vote for voter ID."
During Thursday's vote-a-rama, Sens. Susan Collins, R-Maine, Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., and Thom Tillis, R-N.C., voted with Democrats to defeat an amendment that would have attached the election-integrity measure to the GOP's budget package.
"I guess it's frustration," Hawley told Fox News Digital. "Listen, we've been doing this in Missouri for years. I mean voters in my state put it in our constitution."
"Voter ID is the most popular thing out there," he continued. "There's a reason for that. People want their elections to be safe, they want them to be fair. And to me, you can't explain it to me, why you wouldn't vote for voter ID. I just don't understand it."
Republicans, yet again, failed to pass the legislation Thursday night through the Senate, despite months debating the importance of attaching it to the roughly $70 billion budget reconciliation package to fund Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Border Patrol.
Many senators who voted to block the SAVE act argued that a bill dedicated to voter ID laws and protecting election integrity should be determined at state-level, and should not have federal jurisdiction.
Hawley rejected arguments that election rules should be left solely to the states, arguing Congress has long played a role in regulating federal elections.
"We make federal rules all the time for elections, you know," Hawley said. "I mean all the time we do. And there's nothing more basic than protecting the integrity of the ballot and that's what this is about."
Congress has enacted numerous election-related laws over the years, including the bipartisan Electoral Count Reform Act of 2022, which revised procedures for certifying presidential election results.
The SAVE Act would require applicants to provide documentary proof of U.S. citizenship when registering to vote in federal elections and would require voters to present photo identification when casting a ballot in federal elections.

What the GOP has to do is investigate all revenue sources for those 4 and expose them. Frankly for 3 of them it should have been done immediately upon Trumps second election. The enemy always has sleepers in your country and moles in your government. I don't know what can be done without enforcement at the federal level about the cheating and bogus election process in California.
RE: The SAVE Act - 2026 is the time to apply pressure on Thune and the filibuster
My state does not require ID to vote. That being said every single time I vote, they ask for and I provide ID. If you don’t have ID then the process is to be given a provisional ballot that has to be verified before it is counted.
The sub 70 crowd here is still screaming, without evidence, that illegals are voting. Cultists are going to cult.
The Lame Duck cracks in Trump’s armor are showing. It is only going to happen more often. It is going to be fun watching some come to terms with that.

hence, #groverII = necessary EVAL --->>> JDV or/AND Big Stick Marco improves the blueprint
it's the only valid path I can design for the SAVE Act to stay on the plate, and finally tap some sense into these uber leftists...

You do realize illegals have ID right? What is your point? Illegals can show up to a polling station and do same day registration, no questions asked. Speaking of sub 70.

which would only take a swipe in a secure system to verify upon arrival ... take a wild guess who wouldn't show up...
