MAGA is costing the old guard types a shitload of corporate campaign and PAC money going forward, not to mention the money flowing into Trump's coffers instead of the GOP proper.  Old guard ain't going to lie down over that.

The scary thing isn't that she is going to beat Mitch. The scary thing is that there is someone crazier in the party waiting for her to make one small slip-up and out crazy her for the power of the party.

PMC: The term was originally meant to refer to “salaried mental workers” who are separated from the capitalist class because they don’t control any means of production, but who are also said to have, in Ehrenreich and Ehrenreich’s words, “an objectively antagonistic relationship” to the working class because of the function of their work – reproducing capitalist society – and their high status within workplace hierarchies. The PMC was said to include “teachers, social workers, psychologists, entertainers, writers of advertising copy and TV scripts” as well as “middle-level administrators and managers, engineers, and other technical workers.”

This is the first time since the 2020 primaries that someone in the establishment has said anything slightly against Trump. Honestly, we have no clue how it is going to go down. However, we have a lot of clues. Most of them point to the establishment letting crazy people run amok so as not to alienate the people that support one of their own.

I don’t know. Mitch will turn on a dime if his political calculation changes. Trump has more than $30 Million in his PAC that he raised since losing the election. He can use that to support his loyalists. If Mitch was serious then wouldn’t he muster support for a.conviction in the impeachment trial? When he votes to acquit Trump, how will that affect Trump’s fundraising organization?

I don’t trust Mitch. Biden won the Presidency and Georgia elected two Democratic Senators so my pessimism isn’t infallible but I’m not ready to give it up just yet.

Holy shit, does she think that the embassy custom of also flying the flag of the nation in which the American Embassy is located is a "Hate America Flag"?  Honest inquiry.  Oh my god, she saw some photos and doesn't understand how embassies position their flags.  Wow.  Another proud moment for the Trump movement. 

I am unaware of any Embassy where the host country nation's flag is flown alongside the U.S. flag. It just isn't done (other countries' Embassies don't do it either).

She may be responding to a tempest in a teapot that included some semi-disinformation from the left side of the aisle-- the "ban" of flying LGBT Rainbow Pride flags on the flagpole by the Trump administration.  For what it's worth, the Trump administration allowed (and even encouraged) the display of the Rainbow Flag during local Pride day or week, but just not on the same flagpole as the Stars and Stripes.  No flags except the U.S. flag were allowed on the "official" mast.  Also disallowed were U.S. flags redone in rainbow colors.  That really doesn't bother me much at all, I think it's fine to reserve the official flagpole for Old Glory.

LOL. If you want to see representative democracy updated, ask for more Senators per state as a tweak, with bigger populations than the Montanas of the world not getting just 2 damn Senators.

Your main beef with the EC is not getting the results you wanted recently. I have real issues with pure democracy, as we are indeed a nation of idiots and sorely need some checks on the emotional braindead unwashed masses. That is why we have (in theory) a six year senate term - to make the tough votes with time as a cover for doing the right thing. The House has always been more asshat, lighting rod, think of the moment.

Hank does not argue a position. He states a conclusion and gives examples that have nothing to do with the EC. You might as well say “The Founders liked slavery, so we should abolish the Executive and just have plurality vote on every issue so the people have a voice...!” But that would be stupid.

The purpose of checks and balances is ALWAYS hated by the side being checked. Your team not getting to do what it wants all the time by virtue of plurality vote is just the designed check on the ‘Tyranny of the Majority’.

If you want to get rid of a particular check and balance because it does not benefit your side politically, fine. I’d prefer a better fleshed out argument than Bama Chick’s “we lost Al and Hillary’s election” and Hanks “Old stuff is no good - ‘cause had slaves and women no vote.”

I agree that we get to use the Amendment process. What is the argument besides my team almost lost this time and did last time?

This attitude presupposes we couldn’t get someone like Trump with simple majority vote. Also, would-be authoritarians can come from the left as well.
 

Races would be run in completely different manners if the goal was 50% + 1 of the nationwide vote. One cannot assume Gore or Hillary would have won in such a scenario. They may not even have been their Party’s nominees. There are many valid arguments not to have purely democratic elections for the head of the executive. I prefer a parliamentary system, which actually gives individuals less direct control of the head of the executive but arguably ends up with someone more representative of the “will of the people”
