The Democrats' disquieting quest for power at the cost of our democratic principles cannot credibly be denied or rebutted by inapt whataboutisms. During the 40 years from John Kennedy's inauguration in 1961, four Republicans served a total of 22 years as president and a like number of Democrats served for 18 years. Democrats dominated other elective offices, however, controlling the Senate for 28 years, the House for 34 years, and adjusting for time in office, governorships by 57% to 43%, and state legislatures by 73% to 27%. Then, the pendulum swung. For the last 25 years, Republicans (13 years) and Democrats (12 years) each elected two presidents, and Republicans gained control of the Senate for 13 years, the House for 17 years, governorships, 55% to 45%, and state legislatures, 59% to 41%
When late arriving ballots in the race for Los Angeles mayor turned dramatically against conservative Spencer Pratt last week, Donald Trump reacted with his usual subtlety. "They're cheating on the election," said the President, as it became clear Pratt would be knocked out of the runoff for the November general election. Democrats were quick to respond. California Attorney General Rob Bonta dismissed claims of vote fraud as "a figment of the imagination of Trump and others involved in that conspiracy theory." Bonta is right there's no direct evidence that fraud swayed the LA mayor's race. But California's notorious tardiness in counting votes has been almost universally ridiculed and has undermined public trust in elections.
#50. The problem is will more shoes drop about this guy? NYT knew this woman's story and promised Fifield they would publish the stories of other victims alongside her own. Then they hung her out to dry (I believe it was deliberate) and ran only with her story. They contacted 2 of her friends who were only able to cooborate that Fifield and Platner had dated. But she also provided 3 other friends who could corroborate the more sordid stuff and didn't bother contacting them. It was classic NYT acting as Dem media operatives. Fifield was going public no matter what, so NYT swept in and managed the process so as to minimize damage to Platner. And why not, Fifield is a Republican. She's an easy victim to attack as not being credible for that reason. This latest victim to come forward just had two relive him forcing himself on her. I believe she too was coming forward no matter what so Politico leapt on it with enough time for the DNC to pull another Biden/Harris swap. Dems end up look8ng really bad here but I think they have other threats behind the scenes that could possibly ruin this guy financially.
